Does a coffee maker use pump?

* Traditional Drip Coffee Makers: These typically don't use pumps. They rely on gravity to draw water through the coffee grounds.

* Espresso Machines: These do use pumps to force hot water through the coffee grounds at high pressure.

* Automatic Drip Coffee Makers: Some higher-end automatic drip coffee makers do use pumps to ensure consistent water flow and pressure, which can lead to a better extraction.

* French Press: No pump is needed.

* Pour-Over Coffee Makers: No pump is needed.

So, the answer is not always.
