What Cook County does
to a coffee machine.

Where coffee machines sit in Cook County: older housing stock, coffee columns and built-ins, mixed housing.

All of Chicago

Older housing stock

Older houses rarely have a water line where a remodel wants a plumbed coffee system, so a new run is added from the sink or a basement pipe, and an old galvanized pipe can send rust and sediment to the machine's inlet screen.

Coffee columns and built-ins

A plumbed built-in in a specified kitchen is often joined to a filtered line, and when that filter clogs the machine reports no water; the line and its filter are checked before the machine's own inlet valve.

Mixed housing

On a street of mixed ages an old manual espresso machine with a simple boiler can outlast a newer bean-to-cup model, since its gaskets and switches are still made while a discontinued board can end the newer machine's life.

Glencoe

Of Glencoe's 3.78 square miles, only about 1.6 percent is water.

Gold Coast

In Gold Coast towers a built-in coffee system is a common kitchen fixture and a visit waits its turn for the freight elevator, while Astor Street's restored houses fit a coffee column among period cabinets.

Lakeview

Lakeview two- and three-flats have small kitchens where a compact countertop espresso machine or a manual espresso machine fits best, and Lake Michigan water scales it at a moderate, steady pace.

Lincoln Park

Lincoln Park greystones and rowhouses often run a countertop espresso machine through long winters, and the dry furnace heat hardens its seals and gaskets over the season.

Near North Side

North Avenue, the Near North Side's northern edge, was once Chicago's city limit.

Oak Park

Prairie School and Queen Anne houses in Oak Park keep remodeled kitchens behind reviewed exteriors, and a built-in coffee system added to one often sits on an older circuit that the visit checks first.

River Forest

River Forest is a village adjacent to Chicago and closely tied to neighboring Oak Park.

West Loop / Near West Side

Many former manufacturing and warehouse buildings in the West Loop have been turned into loft condominiums, alongside new high-rise condos and apartments.

Wilmette

In 1892 Wilmette began buying treated water from Evanston, and it switched to a plant of its own that opened January 27, 1934.

Winnetka

Architect-designed Winnetka houses often place a plumbed built-in coffee system beside the ovens, and a holiday house full of guests is when its grinder and milk system are pushed hardest.
