Coffee Brews

You know you’re addicted to coffee when you hope your life amounts to a hill of beans. Why pay outrageous amounts of money for store-made chocolate covered coffee beans when you can easily make them yourself? Song credit: “Life” by Beckah Shae

How do you know which of the coffee makers out there is right for you? The best way to figure that out is to be honest about your coffee needs. How many cups of coffee do your drink when you make it? For some, they prefer to drink slowly and savor the taste; it’s more like sipping than drinking. Are you the only person where you live who drinks coffee? Naturally, lots of people eat and drink while they’re driving, is that you too? Do you want a coffee maker that will turn itself on and off at predetermined times?

Those are the kinds of questions you need to consider, and once you know everything then you can begin looking. So, just to get you started, I’ll talk about some of the more popular coffee makers out there.

What do more people buy and apparently love when it comes to coffee makers? You may already know about Cuisinart which is a company that sells different kinds of coffee makers in addition to other appliances. The Cuisinart brand is very widely respected these days.

The Cuisinart DCC-2600 Brew Central 14 Cup Programmable Coffeemaker is one of their flagship coffee makers on the market. If you have an office or large household, that drinks coffee, then something like this which offers fourteen cups may be your ticket to coffee heaven. Have you ever been impatient while waiting for your coffee to brew? Well, this model has a button, and with that button you can pause the brewing. While, granted, you won’t need the pause button every day, but when you want it – it’s there and you’ll appreciate it. It is also handy if you’d like to pour yourself a cup of coffee before the entire carafe is full.

And how about the Cuisinart DTC-975 Programmable Auto Brew 12 Cup Coffeemaker. Another possibility could be that the DTC-975 is completely automatic in operation. It won’t run forever because it’s smart enough to know when to turn itself off. You may want to know that paper filters are needed to brew with this unit.

So this is just one brand that you may have an interest to look more into. For all it does and who makes it, this is an excellent consideration at the price point.

Another highly popular brewer is the Keurig B-70 B70 Platinum Single Cup Home Brewing System. Ok, I’ll tell you upfront that it’s an expensive unit.

You can see this excellent coffee brewing system at Amazon, and it’s about (just under) $170.00 as this is written. But this is extremely popular, and you will be able to expertly brew a single cup of exquisite coffee with it. Keurig realizes that not all cups are the same size, so you can easily choose among five different cup sizes.

Coffee has come a long way over the last few decades. Not all that long ago, maybe 30-40 years, instant coffee was new on the scene and coffee drinkers and everyone who liked coffee thought that was the rage. Now people are ordering special coffee beans online and grinding them at home. People are also buying all kinds of brewers in search of that perfect cup of coffee. The coffee pots are all quite highly ranked but you might also find something better suited to you and your family.
