In short: Yes. Coffee machines can be divided into two categories, espresso or filter. Espresso coffee machines are going to please coffee addicts who like the choice of everything from classic espresso to milky cappuccinos. Their pressurized hot water extracts rich flavor from coffee grounds, but they can really only handle single or double shots at any one time. Pod coffee machines are simplified forms of espresso machines that save you from having to measure coffee or manually control the pressure and water through the grounds.
Filter machines, on the other hand, are crowd-pleasers. The hot water is dripped through the coffee grounds quickly — and while you won't get the choice or the richer taste, you will get quantity, fast. If you like a no-fuss cup (or ten), then a filter machine is for you.
