Cuisinart Grind 'n Brew DGB-700BC

Coffee is one of those things that could take up to fifteen or twenty minutes to prepare, if you’re into that sort of thing. Luckily that doesn’t have to be the case. What could be better to exemplify convenience in coffee making, then a Cuisinart? Sure, Mr. Coffee would get the job done, but don’t chump your coffee like that. Free trade gourmet beans deserve much better.

Keeping beans in their natural state right until brewing is the only way to insure the full flavor release from each bean. The Burr grinder gives a wonderfully consistent grind with no wasted coffee. Even the steadiest hands are prone to spilling finely ground coffee.

Early morning my not be the best time to operate unfamiliar machinery (especially if a morning cup hasn’t been swigged), so the lining up of arrows to get the machine to work right can trip one up, but only the first couple times. The thermal carafe keeps the coffee nice and cozy until ready to enjoy without expending any excess electricity. This machine is a welcomed addition to any morning routine.

Get Futuristic with Nespresso Essenza

The Jetsons had a capsule for everything, and Nespresso Essenza D100 is helping bring that Jetsons-like convenience to espresso makers. Their exclusive coffee pods eliminate the guess work involved with making the perfect cup of energizing elixir. The pods ability to put an end to the mess finely ground coffee can make, along with the long clean up sessions with the machine, is reason enough to use this thing. You’re most likely wondering if the coffee pods will taste fresh, me too (I can’t pop one in unfortunately); this is a justifiable concern when dealing with any prepackaged goods. According to the Nespresso their aluminum pods avoid tainting the taste of the grounds by having a barrier between the metal and the coffee. The grounds are supposed to last up to nine months, but they probably won’t be around long enough for anyone to find out, caffeine is addictive after all. Another nifty thing about your new adjustable serving friend is the water carafe. The large opening makes the carafe easy to fill and the unit’s design allows the carafe to be installed quickly. So if your sophisticated sensibilities want to take the time to enjoy the finer things of life, but your time constraints demand efficiency. This pod's for you.
