Cuisinart DCG-20 Grind Central Coffee Grinder

We're on the hunt for a good coffee grinder that we can use in the test kitchen, and this sturdy and durable coffee grinder features a stainless-steel bowl and blades. It's also got enough grinding power to grind up 2-1/2-ounces of our favorite coffee which is enough for 12 cups of coffee. It's got easy-to-read measurement markings on the lid, and stores comfortably on counter or in cabinet with a stowaway cord. We also like the shape of this grinder, with an easy to hold shape.

Cuisinart Grind-and-Brew 12-Cup Automatic Coffeemakers

We're more of a single serve coffee maker family here at Kitchen Contraptions, but we also do take out the bigger coffee maker when we want to make a full pot of something special, and take it with us. This 24-hour fully programmable coffeemaker with 12-cup capacity from Cuisinart fits the bill. It features a double-wall insulated thermal carafe, and built-in automatic burr grinder. The strength selector and grind control fine-tune intensity in the coffee you brew along with the volume. And a must have - a brew-pause function so you can catch a cup before brewing the entire pot.

Voice Interactive Coffee Machine - Talk Your Way to Good Coffee

We like a good coffee talk, but this coffee maker takes it to a new level. This is the first voice-interactive coffee maker that asks, "Would you like to set the clock or set the coffee brewing time?" and operates in response to your verbal commands. Simply saying, "Set the coffee brewing time," or "Set the clock," will prompt the machine to reply, "Please say the time, including AM or PM." It uses an advanced voice recognition system to identify any time of day you speak, eliminating the hassle of fussing with buttons. The included reusable, dishwasher-safe plastic filter is specially designed to allow the water to thoroughly saturate coffee grounds, maximizing the richness and aroma of coffee. The coffee machine brews up to 10 cups at once and allows you to remove the carafe during brewing to pour a cup.

The Coffee Hourglass Brewer - Brew Cold and Slow

This is the coffee maker that brews with cold water to reduce the acid in coffee by 69.6%, producing rich, flavorful coffee. Independent laboratory tests confirm the hourglass significantly reduces the acidic compounds and tannic acids in coffee that can cause heartburn and create bitter tastes.

Cold brewing produces a concentrated coffee extract that retains flavor-enhancing essential oils that are lost when coffee beans are exposed to heat. The hourglass does not require any electricity; simply combine 2 1/4 cups of coarsely ground coffee beans with 3 1/2 cups of water in the brewing chamber and allow the coffee to infuse with the water for 12 to 24 hours. When the infusion process is complete, turn the hourglass over and 16 oz. of extract instantly drains through a reusable stainless steel filter and into the extract chamber.

Sanyo SAC-MST6 Coffee/Tea Maker with Built-In Grinder

We love the design of this coffee maker because it reminds us of Blade Runner. We're pretty sure this was in the apartment of Harrison Ford's character, and probably was designed by Syd Mead. This 6-cup coffee/tea maker comes with a charcoal filter for fresh taste, and features a built-in coffee-bean grinder. It even has a specially designed tea basket, and keep-warm function.

Senseo Supreme Single Serve Coffee Machine in Metallic Chrome

Looks like Senseo has a new single serve coffee maker coming out on October 1st - the new Senseo Supreme Single Serve Coffee Machine in Metallic Chrome. Besides the obvious exterior change of chrome plating, the Senseo Supreme features adjustable cup size for 3oz., 4 oz., 5 oz. cup and 6oz., 8 oz., 10 oz. mugs of coffee. We've been waiting for this feature for quite awhile, as we've enjoyed it on our Bunn My Cafe for over a year.

The package also includes a bonus 68 gourmet coffee pods, plus coupons for 10 free cappuccino pods and 20 free tea pods. There is even a Free tea-pod holder included. It still looks like you will still have some trouble getting a travel mug under the Senseo spout, but the adjustable spout allows for use of your favorite coffee cup, from small cup to a mug. And fjaybrewernet4-20inally, the best feature - a "33% Larger Water Reservoir (32 oz.) - dishwasher Safe. Woot!
