BISTRO Pour Over Coffee Machine
This is really an entirely new Bistro coffee maker from Bodum. Unlike the french press bistro, the water gets distributed evenly over the ground coffee through an easy to clean shower head made of plastic and silicone at an ideal temperature of well over 90ºC. The filter – titanium-plated stainless steel and finely meshed – keeps the coffee pure in taste and best of all no paper filter needed. No heating is needed because the piping hot coffee goes right into the stainless steel carafe.
- The thermos comes with a spout that keeps the heat where it belongs
- Easy press of a finger it opens only for pouring.
- Only turns on with the jug in place
- Handles of the jug and the filter are made from heatresistant silicone.

Technivorm Moccamaster Coffee Brewer With Thermo Carafe
It's been a week of coffee makers here at Kitchen Contraptions and why not finish it out with one of the best. The coffee maker comes assembled and requires only that the brewhead wand, filter basket and covers be installed. The filter basket, basket cover and water chamber cover are black plastic. The brewhead wand is stainless steel. There are nine holes in the brewhead which distribute water effectively onto the coffee The TV also has two heating coils rather than one to help maintain a high enough water temperature to make an amazing cup of coffee.

Fretta V60 Ice Coffee Maker
The Fretta V60 Ice Coffee Maker is a unique design which combines a 02 size dripper cone similar to the Hario VD-02T with a 600ml glass carafe. The curved ridges on the inside of the cone aid in the control of water flow as it interacts with coffee grounds.
The plastic diffuser allows for quicker cooling and a more balanced flow of coffee over the ice, resulting in less melting. We're not sure why when it's Fall and the temperatures are dropping we've become obsessed with iced coffee makers, but then again maybe we feel we're already prepping for next summer's purchases in the coffee maker arena.

Alessi 9090 Espresso Coffee Maker
This six-cup espresso coffee maker comes in 18/10 stainless steel with cast iron handle, and is called the 9090. The 9090 is Alessi's first object for the kitchen after the 1930s, and for us a sign of the incredible design Alessi brings to the kitchen and your table. Making espresso coffee is easy - fill the top with ground coffee, and fill the boiler area with water. You can also make 3 cups by putting in an insert that reduces the amount of water needed. Set it on the stove - and bam - amazing coffee.

Zojirushi EC-DAC50 Zutto 5-Cup Drip Coffeemaker
This 650-watt drip coffeemaker brews up to 5 cups of coffee, and has a really nice looking brushed satin steel like finish. This is a filter cone brewer, and the filter cone sits inside the decanter making it more compact and easier to use than other coffee makers where you'll find the filter cone on top making the brewer at least 3 inches taller. There is also a concealed water reservoir, and the coffee maker features a keep warm function along with a replaceable water filter. If you haven't used a coffee maker with a water filter then you are not having fresh coffee. Water makes a huge difference and this along puts this coffee maker over the top for a great buy.

Aerobie AeroPress Coffee and Espresso Maker
Making a great cup of coffee or shot of espresso doesn't have to be complicated or expensive. The Aerobie AeroPress Coffee and Espresso Maker is a unique coffee/espresso maker that uses total immersion and gentle pressure to produce coffee with extraordinarily rich flavor. We've had one of these in the Kitchen Contraptions test kitchen since launch, and we can safely say you can make whatever style of coffee you want - rich, dark, medium, light, or a shot of espresso with this. Because of the lower temperature and short brew time, the acid level of the brew is much lower than conventional brewers that we've tested, and the micro-filtered coffee is so pure and particle-free that it can be stored for days as a concentrate. Get one - you won't regret the $20 spent on this if you love coffee.

We like a coffee grinder that's small enough to stay put on the counter for easy access, but also looks really good.
Available in black, orange, red, green and white, the its cord can be stored inside the grinder at the bottom, and a transparent lid allows the fineness grade of coffee grind to be observed. This powerful and handy grinder can grind enough coffee for an 8 cup French press.

Delonghi Alicia Electric Moka Espresso Coffee Maker
This compact countertop espresso maker for home or workspace features cordless operation with a detachable base and transparent container. It also features automatic shut-off, keep warm function, and cool-touch handles. We've been big fans of the Moka pot for our stove, and think having one with an integrated base that isn't uber hot when serving is just what the coffee doctor ordered.
