The Bodum Chambord 3-cup Coffee Press is a favorite here at Kitchen Contraptions. Each morning we usually press a few cups of fresh roasted ground coffee, and then sit back and check out the latest kitchen contraptions all over the web. The Bodum coffee press brews 32 ounces of coffee, and comes in a sturdy, chrome-plated brass frame; easy-to-clean glass carafe.
Cuisinart DCC-1200 12-Cup Brew Central Retro Coffeemaker
We really like the looks of this retro-style, brushed stainless-steel coffeemaker. It brews 12 5-ounce cups, and features a 24-hour clock/timer for wake-up coffee. It even has brew-pause for grabbing a cup while brewing is in progress, and has the much desired eco-friendly programmable shut-off. It has loads of other features including a gold cone filter, charcoal filter for water, and the carafe is easy to use and pour.

The press brews 32 ounces of coffee, and the glasses are dishwasher- and microwave-safe; all parts of French press are dishwasher-safe. If you haven't seen coffee in a clear mug - mixing in a little milk makes this very cool looking coffee storm.
Bosch Tassimo Hot Beverage System - Coffee, Espresso, Tea
We've just gotten word the newly redesigned Tassimo by Bosch is finely available for to order. We've just received a review unit over at Single Serve Coffee, and think the new system has improved greatly. The new unit heats up quickly, and best of all is whisper quiet. We also like the redesigned water reservoir with a built in filter. The coffee variety is also quite excellent, with Starbucks and Seattle's Best both available to use with any Tassimo.
Variety. Enjoy over 40 beverage varieties from 12 distinct brands. Choose from coffee, cappuccinos and lattes made with real milk, crema, tea and hot chocolate. TASSIMO is the only hot beverage system to feature perfectly brewed Starbucks coffee.

Customizable drink size and strength. Fully automatic brew cycle can be interrupted at any time to adjust drink strength to taste.
Exclusive flow-through water heater for faster, quieter brewing. A Bosch exclusive feature channels the water through tight coils and heats them on contact. This heats the water extremely quickly and more efficiently than traditional methods.

KitchenAid Pro Line Coffeemaker and Accessory Pack
If you want a very durable striking coffee maker, the KitchenAid KPCM050PM Pro Line Single-Carafe Coffee Maker is for you. With its durable die-cast metal construction and stainless-steel 1350-watt heat pump, this convenient 12-cup coffee maker quickly brews exceptionally smooth and flavorful coffee. The unit's full-dispersion showerhead sprays the entire filter basket with hot water, ensuring optimum coffee-flavor extraction and outstanding flavor, while its "time since brew" display helps determine the freshness of coffee at a glance, showing 30, 60, 90, and 120-minute quadrants of the elapsed time since brewing. We also love the fact you can get an extra warming carafe with the coffee maker.
We run into this all the time - we need to have 2 pots of coffee running for guests - a decaf and a pot of regular or just two regular pots. This extra pot and warming plate is perfect dealing with just this situation. This Pro Line coffeemaker accessory pack includes an additional 12-cup glass carafe and a dual-temperature warming plate made of heavy-duty die-cast metal. Designed for use with the above KitchenAid KPCM050PM Pro Line Single-Carafe Coffee Maker, the carafe and warming plate together measure approximately 8 by 8 by 10 inches and carry a two-year hassle-free replacement warranty.
With it's unique design adn the ability to make two cappuccinos at once, the Saeco Primea Touch Plus Espresso Machine is a modern coffee wonder. We like colorized touch screen display and the 8 different animated drink icons to choose from. You can make hot milk, hot water, espresso, coffee, long coffee, espresso macchiato, cappuccino or latte macchiato and more.
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!
You might not use this in your kitchen, but you may need it for your weekend trips this summer. Portable espresso or making coffee of any type on the go seems to be coming of age. We've seen the Aeropress, in-car espresso makers, and now the Preva xSport Portable Espresso maker for camping, rv-ing, and backpacking.
This ultra-compact espresso maker will make espresso on the go and is very light and durable. Preva has a pretty exhaustive FAQ for any question you might have about the xSport Portable Espresso maker. We could see this being a pretty good choice for a long weekend hike or perhaps making a double shot cafe Americano on the side of a mountain.
If you aren't going to get a single serve coffee machine, then a thermal coffee maker is the way to go. Hammacher Schlemmer has rated this machine the best for the taste of coffee, ease of use, and carafe heat retention.
During the heat test, this model maintained over 90% of its peak temperature four hours after brewing. Ten cups of coffee can be brewed in six minutes, and a stop and serve feature allows the carafe to be removed to pour a cup during brewing without dripping. The stainless steel carafe has a wide 3 mouth for easy cleaning and keeps brewed coffee hot for hours without cooking the liquid as is common with many hot-plate coffee makers, thereby preserving the brews original fresh taste, with panelists commenting on the nice balance and smooth aroma and taste. It has a 24-h our programmable clock/timer and a 36" cord that conveniently stores away underneath the unit. Uses #2 or #4 cone-shaped filters. 15 1/2 H x 8 3/4 W x 10 1/2 D. (5 lbs.)
The ProctorSilex 42114 Single-Serve Pod Coffeemaker features a 500-watt heater and brews an 11-ounce cup of single serve coffee. You can use either ground coffee or pods by using the pod holder or the permanent filter that's included.
Features include:
"On" indicator light; automatic shutoff;
dishwasher-safe removable parts
Pod holder and permanent filter for ground coffee included
Truly a kitchen contraption if we ever saw one, the Jura-Capresso S9 is in a class of its own. It will grind, tamp, brew and clean in under 60 second with a push of a button. We've had the pleasure and we do mean pleasure of using one of these machines to review last year and it was astounding how good the coffee could be.
With its 96-ounce capacity, two stainless steel lined thermoblock heating systems, a traditional frother and the automatic frothXpress Plus system it produces coffees, espressos and unlimited amounts of hot frothed and steamed milk for cappuccinos and lattes with no down time.
A separate hot water spout for tea, a separate ground coffee funnel and a stainless steel warming tray on top make this a complete hot beverage center.
The Morrison all in one coffee maker in a design we really like. It looks like you're putting the coffee into some giant sugar cube and surely good coffee will result. We like the stainless steel with the stark white and charcoal grey elements. We've never seen a Rowenta coffee maker in person, but we're going to see one out this weekend just to see it in person. Amazing.
