Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-08-31 Summary: Best single cup coffee maker ... I've had my Aeropress for about a year it makes a fabulous cup of coffee. There's a huge thread at coffeegeeks about the gadget and I took some advice from there as far as brewing. I use a heaping scoop, heat the water to ~175F, pour to the middle of the (4) mark, stir for about 10 seconds - I just use a teaspoon, then press. This recipe will make 8 oz of coffee. At first I used a Kyocera hand grinder (settings available in coffeegeeks thread) but that's a little too much trouble for me so I just go to the local food ...more
[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-08-28 Summary: Replaced my French press... ... The Aero-press makes claims that are not true - not espresso or Americano maker at all. But it is the best single cup brewer on the market. It surpasses French Press for quality and is the least messy single cup prep device out there. Also, it can function very nicely without boiling water (with those motel room small coffee makers which don't get water as hot as my home units). This sets it apart from French press or other pour over methods which need boiling water to extract the coffee well. Also, it is the quickest ...more
[3] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-08-24 Summary: The best solution for brewing a single cup ... I have owned the AeroPress for over two years and, judging by the number of filters I have used so far, I have brewed about 600 cups of coffee with it. It has become an essential part of my daily routine. It is fast, easy, and the grounds just pop out into the trash or compost. But all this has already been covered in these reviews. Here are a few additional points worth considering: -It can brew a few cups of coffee in just a few minutes and make each cup as weak or as strong as my guest wants. -If you are expecting ...more
[4] Rating: 4 Date: 2010-08-24 Summary: A tad fussy ... The AeroPress does brew a nice cup of coffee. I haven't decided if it requires a litte too much 'ritual' for me. Some people might enjoy the brewing ritual. The steps are: - measure 2 cups of water into a glass measuring cup - I drink one 'large' cup of coffee a day. - put the measuring cup in the microwave for 3 minutes 40 seconds which experiment has shown gives me the recommended 175 degree temperature - while the water is heating, put a filter in the filter holder - measure out 3 scoops of coffee using the nice ...more

Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-08-30 Summary: Work horse ... I bought mine in late 2004. I can't even remember where. It's still going strong. The permanent filter has some fraying, from cleaning, but other than I noticed it, it's not an issue. Every morning while getting ready I start it just before my final bathroom touch up, when finished, I add creamer, snap on the lid, grab my purse and head out the door. It sits in my cup holder and stays warm for the one hour commute. I highly recommend this coffee maker. When mine stops working I intend to buy another. Be careful, if ...more
[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-08-26 Summary: Great coffee maker and recession money saver ... This coffee maker is perfect to brew the coffes straight into the provided steel mug. I have been using it twice a day for a month and it paid for itself in only a week of not having to buy coffee outside. As a new employee in an office that had just cut the communal coffee machine, this is perfect for my office and it makes little noise. ...more

[3] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-08-24 Summary: Keurig Reusable Coffee Filter ... Shortly after purchasing my Keurig Single Cup Coffee Brewer I read that non-filtered coffee can raise your bad cholesterol. The article said that the paper filters will catch the harmful chemicals in coffee that raise the bad cholesterol - Soooo - I am now able to place a small piece of filter into the Keurig filter and still enjoy my coffee without worry of damaging my cholestorol count. I recommend this filter to anyone using the Keurig single cup coffee brewer. ...more

Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-08-18 Summary: This stuff has turned me into a coffee addict! ... I'm no huge coffee connoisseur, but this stuff is great. Full flavor, never burnt tasting, has a chocolaty flavor, and the foam is great. The Senseo pods are a breeze to use. It's much faster to make a cup than with the Krups machine, tastes better, and it's more environmentally friendly since they don't use a plastic container. I suspect the dark roast is fresher than some of the other blends since it's a bit cheaper and they likely sell a ton of it, so it rotates more quickly from production to consumption. My only ...more

[3] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-07-26 Summary: Wouldnt start the day any other way... ... I LOVE this coffee! I was skeptical how good the coffee could really be coming from a pod, but I am a huge fan, and anyone who tastes it is converted (I should stock up on machines and just sell them as I go haha). Also the decaf pods are really great too (as far as decaf coffee goes). I have tried most of the senseo range, but I always come back to the dark roast. Thumbs up from me! ...more
[4] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-07-22 Summary: Very Good Coffee ... Caveat, these bags work in the Senseo coffee machine. The machine makes 1/2 cup and 1 cup coffee. The coffee has been very good. I broke a $3 a morning habit at Starbucks using this coffee. If you buy in bulk, it is between 25 cents and 50 cents a pod, and two pods are used to make a cup for between 50 cents to a dollar a cup. ...more

Been enough times to Starbucks, Dunkin Donuts, Caribou Coffee or (fill in your favorite coffee chain) and cursed the blend or blamed yourself for shelling-out too much money? The Bodom Chambord Coffee Press is the perfect solution. It's cost-effective, at under $30.00 (includes free shipping), and with the right blend of coarse coffee (or better yet, a grinder that delivers on-cue), you've got a delicious, rich cup of coffee that ...more
[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-08-22 Summary: bodum french press ... I love this french press! But the coffee grounds are a mess to empty! That is until my wife found an EASY solution... I must back up here, for a minute, and tell you that i ordered a "Tambaroo",($20) a device made of silicon rubber, with magnets on it. What you do is fill it with your coffee grounds, then drop it in the french press. after you push the plunger down, it is supposed to grip the magnets, and then you retract the plunger, with this device stuck to the end of your plunger.(most of the time it does not stick ...more
[3] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-08-02 Summary: Think Larger! ... We really like our "french" (coffee) press, but we had hoped the 8 cup unit would easily fill two coffee mugs twice. It barely does if we don't fill the mugs to the top! Also, we usually wash the base unit assembled, but one of the times we took the beaker out of the stand to wash, it was cracked by contact with some other item in the dish rack. So, we recommend leaving the unit (minus the top and plunger) assembled when cleaning it. The good news is that we were able to acquire a replacement beaker directly from Amazon. ...more
[4] Rating: 4 Date: 2010-07-20 Summary: Good Coffee Press ... I ordered this model to replace a broken Bodum I had owned for years. I looked around at other brands, but ultimately went with Bodum again as they seemed like the most well made. This model is fancy looking, and I was pleased that the inside press arm is 100% stainless steel. Unfortunately, the lid still contains a plastic part on the inside that the coffee strains through when pouring, but if you don't press down all the way you can avoid your beverage traveling through the plastic. ...more
Editorial Reviews — [1] ... Product Description | Commonly known as a French press or a plunge pot, these coffeemakers are fixtures in many European homes. Stylish and efficient, this is the brewing method of choice for many coffee connoisseurs....more
[2] ... Review | Bodum's French press makes it easy: coffee, water, wait, enjoy. Simply measure out one rounded tablespoon of coarsely ground coffee per 4-ounce cup, pour in the hot water, wait a few minutes for it to brew, and slowly press down the plunger. Next comes the best part, as you get to enjoy a cup of rich and aromatic coffee. Because of its 8-cup capacity and elegant design, this French press is great for dinner parties, where you can now brew your guests' coffee right at the table. Bodum has been in the...more

After reading other reviews on this product, I almost didn't buy it, but my sister told me that Cuisinart is the best coffee pot she has ever had, so I took a chance. Amazon had the lowest price and free shipping which was great. We have used the pot now for one month and are very pleased with it!!!! Highly recommend it to everyone. ...more
[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-08-31 Summary: Great coffee maker for the money! ... When my Black & Decker coffee maker just quit working one morning (grrr), I quickly began the search for its replacement. After reading all the reviews of this and other coffee makers, it seemed that this was a good choice for a basic coffee maker, and I am definitely not disappointed. It definitely makes a better tasting cup than my old one, and is super easy to clean, pot goes in the dishwasher, and the filter basket pulls out easily. Looks really sharp, too! The one thing that stands out, however, is that the pot ...more
[3] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-08-31 Summary: Does What's Promised!! ... I've seen mostly positive reviews on this site, and some negative reviews. My experience to date is that everything works fine. The auto program, the heat setting of the warming plate, etc. Most importantly, it brews great coffee. My only suggestion is that if you want to get a spare replacement coffee decanter, do what someone else suggested and get a generic one that will fit this model....it's about half the price of the original, and works just as good. ...more
[4] Rating: 4 Date: 2010-08-30 Summary: Not a fan of Chrome ... This is the second version we have had of this coffee maker. I really like the features of this unit and the way it makes coffee. They have improved the pour spout...it use to drip onto the counter as you were pouring and a slight change in the angle of the glass spigot on the pot has made a great improvement. I mixed up a bunch of words to describe the pour mechanism so I hope you get the meaning. However...my first unit was had a stainless steel finish on the sides and the new one has changed to chrome. The chrome ...more
[5] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-08-29 Summary: Fine Coffee Maker! ... This is the third one of these we have purchased. Average life span around 4 years. Makes very good coffee, you get the most from your grounds due to the tappered design of the filter. At average cost of $15 a year I will continue to use this maker as long as it is available. As usual Amazon price and delivery is unmatched. ...more
Editorial Reviews — [1] ... Product Description | This state of the art coffeemaker lets you fine tune the process from filtering the water you brew with to keeping the brewed coffee at the precise temperature you desire. If you're the impatient type you can grab a cup before brewing is complete (or program your coffee to be ready and waiting at wake up time), and if you tend to be forgetful, this appliance has auto shut off. Seems as though Cuisinart has covered all the bases in this deluxe coffeemaker....more

Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-08-23 Summary: Nothing Beats Coffee on Demand Any Time Day or Night! ... I had almost given up being a coffee drinker since my wife only has coffee occasionally in cold weather and making even a small amount in a regular percolater was time consuming and wasteful. Now I can have a truly great cup of coffee any time with no fuss and no muss. I read all the reviews of the Keurig on every site on the web I could locate and decided to take the plunge even though it is a bit pricey. It came very well packaged and was easy to set up. It is countertop stable, operates quietly, and is amazingly ...more
[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-08-20 Summary: Worth every penny ... While yes, this coffee maker is expensive, it really is awesome. What makes this coffee maker stand out from others is that it is very fast, easy and cleaner than a normal one. Outside of the fact that it takes about 2-3 minutes to warm up, all you have to do is put your cup under it, place the coffee cup you want into the top and close the lid. Once pressing the button it takes about 1 minute for a large cup and 30 seconds for a small one. This is where it gets real good; you don't have to deal with all those small ...more

[2] Rating: 4 Date: 2010-08-06 Summary: caffeine is on the way... ... This is a basic coffee grinder. You put in the coffee beans, grind, and turn it upside down to empty the grounds into a conveniently sized lid (which has a line around it that equals the exact amount of coffee I need. It also has a cord that can be manually retracted by spinning the grinder around it's base. I didn't give it 5 stars, because it does have a habit of allowing the grounds to stick to the side and fall onto the counter - not a major issue, easily cleaned with a quick wipe of a towel, but still worth a ...more
[3] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-05-22 Summary: great product for the money ... I wanted to get a grinder for flax seeds and spices when my Braun and Krup grinders broke. Braun stopped running and the blade broke off from Krup. In fact I should give them credit because they have served us well for over ten years. PS E160B is a great little machine. Though I was skeptic since it was very cheap, but it proved to be otherwise. It is quiet and grinds so well, I bought two of them and plan to buy two more for my daughters. Needless to say that we are more than pleased and would highly recommend to ...more

I get all excited in the morning just to slowly pour hot water into this magical thing. Thanks Frieling USA Cilio Porcelain Filter Holder makers, now I feel stupid. ...more
[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-08-28 Summary: Perfect sized bottom for small openings ... Thank you to the person who posted pictures and information on the size of the ring on the base! That kind of information should be in the product description (Frieling Cilio: 2 7/16"). It took me three tries before I found a #4 filter that would fit into the top of my cool vintage coffee carafe. I like the porcelain but I hope I don't break it. Better than the alternative plastic I guess. This filter holder would fit on top of just about any container since the ring is much smaller than other brands. ...more

[4] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-08-26 Summary: Good Product ... Well, first off, let me say that I'm happy with this purchase. The cone is solidly constructed and appears to be high-quality. The handle is not "linguini thin" as one reviewer said. It is normal, by my standards (I was pleasantly surprised). It is not made in USA however, as the headline/name suggests. It is a German product. No biggie--still a well-manufactured item. One reviewer commented that the drain hole is too large, and they get weak coffee. Please look online to see how to make coffee using a filter cone. ...more

Certainly makes it easier to cut down on the caffeine when you can substitute 1 coffee a day with this! ...more
[4] Rating: 4 Date: 2010-07-05 Summary: Price review urgently needed ... Excellent product, fast delivery, excellent price (because of subscription: $23.66 for 6 bags of 18 pods). However, the current (June 2010) price ($3.94 per bag of 18 pods) needs to be reassessed because of dropping Euro (1Euro=$1.30). Local groceries sell bags for $5.75, with coupon $5.25. However, Target dropped its price to $4.24, only 30 cents from Amazon's price! Price review by Amazon is urgently needed. ...more
