Drip coffee makers are designed for those who like light coffee in large quantities - the so-called "Americano with a double serving of water", using the language of vending machines with drinks.
Drip or filter coffee makers make coffee by extracting flavors and aromatics from ground coffee beans using the free hot water method: ground coffee is placed on the filter and heated water, flowing through a layer of coffee, brews coffee in a container placed under the filter (jug or coffee pot).
She invented and patented a method of making coffee using a paper filter Frau Melitta Benz, a housewife from Germany.
This method of brewing coffee allows you to sufficiently disclose the taste of your choice of coffee grade or brandIt is quite simple and does not require serious equipment. Today, such a drink has become an integral part of a “sprightly” morning and is known as regular.
Buyer Tips
To use in this and other drip coffee makers you need only pure arabica coffee (we buy Dominican coffee) of medium roasting and medium grinding. The amount of coffee needed is 1 tablespoon per cup.
Power. If you need a stronger drink, you should choose a model for 750-800 watts. And if the priority is the speed of cooking, you should stop at more powerful options. But this is not important for coffee makers who have the opportunity to choose the strength of the drink.
Care and cleaning. Leaving basically consists of washing cups and a filter. It is enough to rinse the filter under running water immediately after making coffee. Cups can be put in the dishwasher. To descale the heating element, it is necessary, according to the instructions, to heat the water with citric acid several times in the coffee maker, and then rinse the container with clean water.

What to look for when buying?
When choosing and buying a drip coffee machine from Philips should pay attention to instruction for use, as well as the following nuances:
- for people who prefer to drink coffee made from freshly ground beans, the Philips HD7767 Grind & Brew coffee maker with built-in coffee grinder is suitable,
- for a large family or office, you should prefer the Philips HD7467 Daily Collection model, which can prepare 15 cups of coffee drink at a time,

Aroma Twister function improves taste?
Philips claims to be one of the advantages of its drip coffee makers using Aroma Twister or Aroma Swirl technology. It is a tube, which in the coffee pot falls from the top hole, where the coffee gets to the bottom. It turns out that a new batch of the drink is not poured into the flask from above, but flows as it were down. She supposedly improves the taste.
In reality, I do not notice the differences. Therefore, focus on this is not necessary. Moreover, it is not 100% clear in which models it is and in which it is not, the information on the official website is contradictory. I repeat, this is marketing, which has no relationship to reality. The drop-stop function is also here, it is for all drip ones, it’s just a spring-loaded nose that closes the hole when the coffee pot is removed, and the coffee does not pour onto the heating plate.
The manufacturer also claims a particularly convenient indicator of the fill level of the tank with clean water. The indicator is original, but I will not say that it is especially convenient. Given that its level coincides with the graduation of the coffee pot, you can simply use the coffee pot to guide the filling of the tank. If you stopped cooking, and there was something left the next time in the tank, then it would be more convenient to evaluate it through a simple window on the side, for example. In any case, these are the nuances.
Model Differences
1. Philips HD7434 - stands out among the rest in a series of reduced dimensions. She has a 900 ml coffee pot and water tank. Outwardly - really more compact. She has less heater power, 700 W versus 1000 for the rest. Thus, she cooks a little slower. On the other hand, with a slower flow, the extractiveness increases, the same coffee with the same proportion of coffee / water is a little stronger. Bonus Philips HD 7434 - the kit comes with a reusable nylon filter, you can not buy disposable, but wash the factory every time. Although it’s easier to use, of course, paper ones, small ones with a size of 1x2 are suitable here, they are sometimes also labeled “No. 2”.
2. Philips HD7447 and Philips HD7457 (aka HD7457 / 20) differ only in color. The first is white-beige (like cream) and all-plastic. Philips HD 7457 - black with a metal panel over the coffee pot. 1.2 liter water tanks with a heater power of 1000 watts. A workhorse, if appearance is not important, it is better to choose the more affordable Philips HD 7447. There are no filters in the kit at all, disposable ones are used in 1x4 size.
3. Philips HD7459 - the most sophisticated of the quartet. In fact, this is the HD7457 with auto power off after 30 minutes and a built-in on timer with a small LCD screen. You can set the time at which the coffee machine will start working and brew coffee from the volume of water that will be previously poured into the tank. A 1.2-liter jug, power 1000 watts, no filters included. The same model can be found on sale under the Philips HD7459 / 20 index.
I summarize the review
Philips HD 7447 and associates - this is a proven purchase in the class of inexpensive drip coffee makers, which prepares a completely exemplary Americano. The quality of workmanship and components is on the level. It works for a long time and under heavy load.
The Philips HD 7434 modification is more compact, takes up less space, is suitable for a couple of consumers. The Philips HD HD7459 model is notable for a timer; among classmates, the optimal surcharge for this feature.
P. S. If you still want to drink better Americano, that is, from freshly ground beans, but you can’t handle the grinder separately, then specially for you - drip coffee machines! An example is more expensive, more functional (from the point of view of the cooking process) and better - Philips HD7761 + appeared on sale clones of this model from other brands. The option is cheaper, with a simpler coffee grinder, but with trendy wireless controls - Redmond SkyCoffee M1505S.
Well, if Americano is just one of your favorite coffee drinks, and along with it you or your relatives drink espresso or even cappuccino, then you can’t do without more serious technique. We study the full range here.

41 comments, of which 2 reviews on HD7457 / 7447/7459/7434 with an average rating of 5/5:
I wanted to ask what is still better than Philips HD 7459 or Delonghi ECP 31.21?
If Philips, then which model is better to take HD7457 / 7447/7459/7434?
Kirill
Cyril, you compare soft to warm.Philips HD 7459 (and variations) is a coffee maker exclusively for American, not strong black coffee. Delonghi ECP 31.21 - for strong espresso of small volumes and for drinks based on it: cappuccino, latte, etc.
Artyom
I understand that they are of different price categories, one about 4,500, and the other 7,500. I wanted to consult that it’s better to take it anyway?
Kirill
Cyril, once again, these coffee makers for different types of drinks. That is, to choose them, you need to decide what kind of coffee you want to receive.
However, if you found an ECP for 7500, then this is a super option. Americano (not canonical) you can do on it. Therefore, if you do not yet understand what is required, all else being equal, it is better to take ECP for that price. Price / quality is higher.
Artyom
I take it not to myself, but to my parents. It so happened that I am responsible for all the equipment and they asked me to pick up a coffee machine for them, but they still do not understand the difference between American and cappuccino.
Kirill
But in general, what kind of coffee do they usually drink and how with technology: on “you or on“ you ”?
Other things being equal in a situation of uncertainty, I would take ECP. She prepares a wider range of drinks. And for the price that you found it (by the way, do not tell me where?), As I wrote, this is certainly a profitable purchase.
Artyom
Learning how to use the equipment is done by I. They drink strong.
