Every morning my day must start off with a cup of java to be successful. Sure, it is an addiction but its one I am now a self-proclaimed expert because of it.  Once my coffee maker broke I immediately went out in search of the perfect modern maker.  Mr. Coffee 12-cup programmable maker was a blessing in disguise. At first, my thought was how can this programmable maker be better ...

  The last time I reviewed a coffee grinder I expressed extreme disappointment because it came from Black and Decker and I thought they would be able to make a decent grinder since they are so good at building tools that chop and screw anything together. My family felt kinda bad but they did laugh because there is something entertaining to them about watching me use a paper clip to help gr...

I own a small coffee maker by Mr. Coffee. It only makes 4 cups of coffee at a time, which is perfect for my needs. I don't drink that much coffee, so having a dispenser that only makes a bit at a time is great for me. The machine is easy to handle and very easy to clean. Simply swing out the filter door, pull out the plastic coffee ground dispenser, and wash. The machine has a special featu...

 My husband and I desperately needed a new coffee maker - according to my mother in law upon her last visit. She quickly discarded our old, slow, loud and utterly amazing coffee maker that we had treasured for years and replaced it with this Mr. Coffee ISTX85. It looks nice with its brushed chrome and black finish, little clock display and minimal buttons, and it does have a great little a...

To be honest, it wasn't my first choice for a coffeemaker.  I was a huge fan of the kind that mounts under the cabinet and frees up counter space.  But the ivory tower idiots made enough "improvements" that the darned thing wouldn't work. So I shopped around and returned ( after maybe fifteen years ) to the Mr. Coffee brand.  It was on sale, made twelve cup...

I am a coffee person. I drink way too much, but truly savor, appreciate and need good coffee. Starting my day with several cups of coffee is critical to the success of my day. For my coffee supply I use the Cuisinart Grind & Brew Coffee makfer. It retails for $149.00 and is worth every penny.One of the many wonderful features this product has to offer is its ability to grind whole coffee be...

My boss purchased one of the Keurig k-cup coffee makers for the staff. The price of these is not cheap but boy does it ever make a dynamite cup of coffee. It makes single cups. You merely put in a small k-cup of your favorite flavor and you are good to go. The coffee comes out hot and very tasty.There are various companies who make different flavored k-cups for this machine. The local Diar...

My Melitta Mill & Brew Coffee Maker has been the best coffee maker that I have ever owned! My husband purchased it at Taget on clearance when our coffee pot broke. Melitta is a wonderful brand and they still sell this model at several retailers, but the cost is $69-99. There is a timer which means I can put the water and beans in the night before and then set it to start the next ...

I never liked instant coffee.  I got these cute little instant coffee packets in my stocking this Christmas so I decided to give them a try.  I only drink decaf, but I can tell you it was the best cup of decaf I have ever tasted.  If the decaf is that good I know the regular brand must be excellent.They come in a single serving packet.  They are very easy to tear at the top ...

My proctor-silex coffee maker gets me going every morning. It's very basic but reliable. I drink 3 of the 12 cups it's capable of making everyday. There's no automatic timer or clock. But that's okay because I don't need those. It is a little noisy while brewing. But that doesn't bother me either. This coffee maker is very easy to use and there should be no problems. Mak...

  The Senseo coffeemaker is a convenient way to make a single cup of coffee.  I like this product, but don't love it.  Definitely make sure this is not your only coffee maker.  The first time I used it, it created a vacuum seal.  I could not open it.  The instructions say to wait 24 hours when this happens and try making your coffee again.  Well, my vacuum...

I am one to really enjoy a good cup of coffee.  I especially like coffee in mornings when I get up.  However, sometimes there is not time to wait on the coffee pot to churn out the coffee.  Other times, I really don’t want to wait!  The Black and Decker 12 Cup Coffee Maker solved my early morning coffee problems. There is a terrific timer on the Black and Decker 12 ...

How disappointing this coffee maker has been!  The Melitta 12 cup Fast Brew  coffee maker looks great but good looks does a great cup of coffee not make.  At least not with this unit.  It's  nice sleek face, accented with stainless steel and a blue backlit analog clock that sits tucked nicely into the area just beneath the brew cone's front plate makes for an im...

Prior to purchasing this Braun White coffee grinder I owned a Braun Black and used it on a regular basis until the motor died.  A lesson that indicates although these machines are sturdy, the motor isn't meant to be run at high speed for long periods.  My husband use to use the other one frequently but he wasn't aware that the beans should be pulsated and after a few years of ...

It's funny, my husband and I used to own a Christian coffeehouse, but neither one of us drinks very much coffee! I do like a cup of coffee in the evening sometimes, and occasionally during the day, but I found that I was throwing away a lot of coffee, whenever I made a whole pot. So one day I was shopping online, and I saw the Juan Valdez  One Cup Pod Coffee Brewing System. I had never...

While I am a big fan of technology and all things "gadgety" I also believe that splashing out a lot of money on something high-tech will not always guarantee quality and reliability.  This belief held true 2 weeks ago when I decided that my little bachelor pad needed a sleek filter coffee machine for the kitchen.  I was prepared to spend a bit of money as the machine that I ...

I love my Senseo Coffee maker. It is a one cup coffee maker. That being said it has an option on it of one cup or two. But, the one cup setting makes the dinkiest little cup of coffee I've ever seen, so I never choose that option. You use these little coffee pods that are made by the same company, although, other brands are also available. They are basically a measure of coffee enclosed in ...

We like to grind our own coffee beans at home, rather than buy them pre-ground.  Grinding our own beans gives us fresher tasting coffee. This Krups coffee bean grinder was one of the best small kitchen appliance purchases we have made.  We have had our grinder for years and it still works great!It does not take long to grind your own beans with Krups.  You pour the beans int...

I love coffee but rarely make it at home because my husband doesn't drink it.  Making a whole pot for just one person is a total waste.  But now, thanks to this coffee maker, I can make coffee everyday without throwing any out.  This coffee maker brews the coffee directly into two insulated travel mugs.  The best part for me, you can choose to make coffee for one person ...

I received the Krups Coffee Maker as a wedding gift twelve years ago.  The Krups Coffee Maker is still working well after all those years.  I think that it came with a warrenty but I did not sign up for it. The coffee maker makes nine to ten cups of coffee.  You pour into the coffee maker however much water you want in order to make the desired amount of cups of coffee.  You...
