Cup Coffee Press

Same difference. A Keurig Single Cup Coffee Maker is basically top of the line. It may not even cost as much as some of the competition, but the resulting brew and convenience is unsurpassed in quality (according to this reviewer).

First about quality.

There are these little containers called K cups that are each filled with the exact amount of grounds to make you a consistently excellent beverage every time you press the “brew button”. The difference between these containers and other “pods” is that they are sealed immediately after being filled. No atmospheric intrusion at all can occur. This is important so that the integrity of the grounds is not degraded at all. You expect perfection with each mug, and you get it. The pods of other brands are usually (but not always) wrapped in a filter material that will be exposed to the air when opened. If not used immediately, they will “change” because of the interaction with air and humidity.

Another quality point is that the plastic containers are filled with excellent blends of beans. They are not cheap, so there has been a strong effort to produce the very best for your money. From this writer’s point of view, there has not yet been a disappointing mug in the several months of experience.

What about convenience.

If you are a one or two mug a day consumer, this is the perfect brewer. Think about all the wasted or burned coffee that has gone unconsumed. If you leave your normal pot on the heat for more than an hour, the result is an unwanted, ill-tasting beverage.

Cleanup? It’s so easy. The only thing to clean is container you drink from.

Another plus is the convenience of trying different blends on a daily basis. You may start off with your first mug of extra-bold and decide that you want the “donut house” blend a little later for your second go-round. With the Keurig Single Cup Coffee Maker… no problemo. And even better, you can switch to decaf later in the day – just one portion, of course.

Having a group of friends get together with different tastes? Again, this is an easy solution. K cups, as mentioned, come in all types of blends, but you can also get many different teas, and even hot chocolate. So you will impress your family and friends with their favorite beverage. No one will go unsatisfied.

I am so impressed with my K cup experience, I have created a web site at http://www.thecoffeeniche.com.

Coffee aficionados: What brand of coffee do you buy for brewing at home? Do you have a grinder? And what…?

… method do you use to brew it?

I buy store roasted beans and grind at home. Then I use fresh, filtered water and a coffee machine for a regular brew or an espresso machine for espresso drinks.

However, usually the beans are only the beginning. You can add a little of a number of spices – individually or a blend – to give your coffee a delicious and unique flavor. Try green cardamom, coriander seed, cinnamon, cloves, allspice, anise, chili powder (?!?!?!). Put a bit of these in with the beans when you grind and fall in love with coffee all over again!
