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.
Whipping up a nice hot latte can be a pain - but imagine having an appliance where you can make them with ease.
Similar in look and feel to a smoothie maker, this convenient appliance automatically heats, mixes, and whips instant cocoas, cappuccinos, and lattes into delicious hot frothy cafe-style beverages. The unit provides a simple on/off switch, a specially designed mixing paddle, and a high-speed motor that quickly and thoroughly mixes and froths to perfection. Faster than heating beverages in a microwave, the appliance heats drinks to an ideal 180-degree temperature. Its 32-ounce container features measuring marks and a convenient dispenser for neat, easy pouring. Ideal for warm steamy mug on a cool morning or for serving decadent after-dinner coffee or cocoa drinks to guests, the two-piece unit is simple to use and easy to clean. A recipe booklet is included to offer ideas for creating gourmet hot beverages from scratch. The drink mixer measures 10-3/4 by 9-1/2 by 7-1/4 inches and carries a 90-day warranty.

We've seen this in the Black & Decker VB100 Vacuum Brew but we have yet to try this with a more classic vacuum brewer. It's interesting to note the process of making coffee this way has been a fixture in Japanese and Scandinavian homes for over 40 years.
"Upside-down" vacuum brewing separates coffee from grounds for clean, exquisite taste. The coffee maker works like this: water is held in the lower portion of the coffee pot and the coffee grounds are placed in the upper pot. When the water begins to boil, the vacuum process causes it to rise up through the tube to mix with the coffee grounds. The newly brewed coffee runs back down to the lower pot ready-to-serve, while the grounds stay in the upper pot. Makes 5 cups.
simplehuman has just announced their new single serve coffee brewer. The new simplehuman brewer features a 42 oz. water tank, brews 5 oz or 8 oz cups of coffee, and fits all standard-size pods (we're thinking 62 mm - Senseo sized pods). The simplehuman single cup pod brewer also comes with two pod holders - one for coffee and one for tea. The brewer is priced at $129.99 and FREE shipping is included.
simplehuman has also partnered with Molto coffee to create a new line of coffee and tea pods. Each pod comes individually wrapped to preserve the coffee freshness. Coffee and Tea pods are packed in a sleeve box and priced at $5.99 for 14 pods.
If the quality of their other kitchen items is any indication, we're pretty confident simplehuman should get it right. We've reviewed several of their kitchen products and have found them all to be very well designed and of high quality.
For those on the go - get Joe! This super cool purple coffee wonder from Melitta can make great coffee if you know the patented Melitta hot water over grounds pour.
For clean, clear, flavorful brew in about 4 minutes, the manual drip can't be beat. Near-boiling water is poured in a circular motion over grounds in a cone style filter-this creates turbulence, evenly soaking and distributing the grounds. Coffee then drips through a paper filter that traps sediment and oils.
