Drip coffee makers are the predecessors of all modern coffee makers. Before any other in-the-now coffee maker type materialized into existence, drip coffee brewers have been in use. Since it was first introduced 125 years ago, give or take a few years, the design has been constantly evolving.

It works by allowing water from your reservoir to enter a hose at that base of that reservoir leading to a metal tube we know as a heat chamber. This heat chamber has a heating element that can raise the temperature of the water. This heated water will then go to an insulated rubber hose, pass through a spray head and deposited right to your coffee grounds where the brewing cycle begins.

Now, there is virtually a multitude of drip coffee brewers in all shapes, sizes and functionalities. Brewing coffee really has come a long way.
