Kalorik PCM28276 Hot-Air Popcorn Maker Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a very poorly made, cheap popcorn popper. I should have been suspicious when the manufacturer's product description on the item page describes a meat grinder ("This meat grinder lets you create fresh, top-quality meats and spreads in minutes.") Someone messed up on that one! A flimsy plastic housing gets extremely HOT HOT HOT and is almost too hot to touch after the popcorn is finished popping. Just turning the switch to "off" was hazardous because you have to be careful not to touch the body of the popper while doing so. And talk about LOUD - sounds like someone is using a leaf blower in your kitchen! It only takes 1/4 cup of kernels at a time, which does NOT make very much popcorn. Then you're advised to wait 15 minutes before popping another batch. I bought this hoping that it would be similar to the Presto popper, only with the highly coveted "on/off" switch everyone wishes the Presto had. Big mistake! This is more expensive than the Presto, but it is NOT worth it. Save your money & buy a microwave popper. I had a microwave popper (Nordic Ware) for over 10 years and just recently wanted a replacement because it's not performing as good as it used to. I'll be getting another Nordic Ware microwave popper since that worked wonders in the past!

Ideal for everything from a healthy mid-day snack to movie night with friends, this hot-air popcorn maker prepares hot, crispy popcorn in less than five minutes. Simply add one full scoop, using the included measuring cup, place a large-size bowl (not included) under the spout, and flip the switch to "on". The unit leaves behind virtually no unpopped kernels, and its angled chute does a good job of directing popped corn into the bowl. Because it works with hot air instead of oil, there's not the high fat or oil content to worry about. That said, there's no reason the popcorn can't be doctored up with seasoned salt, brewer's yeast, spritzes of soy sauce, or other toppings, including the classic favorite of melted butter. In fact, the measuring cup, which sits in the lid, doubles as a butter dish. Just add the desired amount of butter or margarine (the heat from the popping process will gently melt it) and drizzle over the popped popcorn. With its easy-to-clean design and small footprint, the 1200-watt popcorn maker measures 7-1/2 by 5 by 10-3/5 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.

Kalorik Aqua Espresso Maker - Silver (EXP20737) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The Kalorik Aqua Espresso Maker makes an excellent latte. It requires less steps to make the beverage and is much easier to clean than our last few machines. The Kalorik is well made and looks great on your counter. The only problems... and they are not really problems unless you want them to be are: There is no carafe to brew into... (use a cup or buy one locally) and it takes a while to get the grind right for this pump. Once your preference is found just enjoy a predictable cup every time.
I highly recommend this maker as the best in it's class of under $150 makers.

Kalorik CM 25282 MY Maya Programmable 12-Cup Coffee Maker Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought the Kalorik Maya at TJ Maxx for $39. This was about as high as I wanted to go for a 12 cup programmable coffeemaker. So far it is doing exactly what it should be doing. It is a no frills (except for the color) machine.
A couple of things I think could be improved:
1) Uses paper filters. Can Kalorik at least come up with a drop-in reusable filter for a coffeemaker in this price class?
2) Water tank opening is very narrow. Therefor Maya requires a steady hand to fill. Keep a dish cloth ready when you fill up this coffeemaker. Also; the machine is pretty tall. I am 6 ft, and have a medium height worksurface in the kitchen. If you are much shorter you probably have to use a step stool.
In short; it is a coffeemaker. It is basic with a programmable "on", and automatic "off" mechanism. $39 was reasonable. Anything over that and you are paying too much. Especially considering that it is Made in China, and and it definitely looks and feels like it too. It does come with a measuring scoop!

Kalorik CCG-23785 Magic Bean 750-Watt Personal 4-Cup Automatic Drip Coffeemaker with Burr Grinder Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This coffee maker is over-priced, but it is a quality product. If my frustrations below were corrected, it would have earned a 5 instead of a three. It is ideal for the person who enjoys an occasional cup of freshly ground coffee, without a need to make 2-12 cups at one time.
One is suppose to be able to adjust the coarseness of the coffee, but turn after turn of the dial to adjust the coarseness yielded little difference. Eventually, I stripped the knob, after only about 4 sessions, trying to make the beans more coarse.
A major of frustration is a single line in the manual that left me misunderstanding how the grind feature worked. The manual indicated, "... add the right amount of beans." What does that mean? It led me to believe that I had to add the appropriate amount of beans given the number of cups I wanted to make. Which, I just figured out is not the case at all. You basically fill the hopper to the top and it grinds the number of beans based upon how much water you put in and whether you want mild or strong coffee. Outside of that one line in the manual, I applaud the company for the simple instructions in the manual.

Equipped with a built-in burr grinder, this personal drip coffeemaker automatically grinds and brews up to 4 cups of exceptionally flavorful coffee. The unit's grind-control dial makes it easy to program the amount of coffee to grind, while its strength selector offers a choice from strong to mild coffee flavor. Freshly brewed coffee dispenses into a 9-ounce stainless-steel cup. For sneaking a quick sip midbrew, just remove the cup from the machine--its automatic non-drip valve prevents coffee from dripping onto the base. In addition, user-friendly push-button controls ensure simple operation. Push the "auto on" button for automatically grinding and brewing, push the "grind" button for grinding only, and press the "brew" button for brewing with pre-ground coffee. Other highlights include a permanent stainless-steel filter, safety photo censors that stop the brewing process if the cup or filter holder are out of place, and a "coffee ready" signal. The grinder removes for easy cleaning, and a travel-cup base attachment to fit into a car cup holder comes included. The cup, filter holder, permanent filter, and coffee grinder should be washed by hand, and the plastic parts of the appliance and the base can be wiped down with a soft cloth as needed. Designed in Germany, the sleek-looking 750-watt coffeemaker measures 11 by 9-4/5 by 16-1/2 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.

Kalorik EXP-20737 Aqua Line 1250-Watt 15-Bar-Pump Espresso Maker Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)For the price, this is a great machine. Aesthetically, the units chrome and stainless looks adds greater appeal than the normal cheaper black plasic items that you find in this price range. I have used this unit numerous times to make both espresso and cappucino, and the coffee comes out great after you get familiar with its operation.
The only negative item that I can mention is regarding its manual. In order to find out how to properly operate this machine, I had to do a bit of research such as reading the manuals from other manufacturers. In addition, I have sent Kalorik some questions regarding the fiters mentioning the fact that the manual was lacking in any detail. Kaloriks response was to send me a PDF of the manual.
For the customer that mentioned that they where unable to get the machine to produce hot coffee, this again is due to the lack of information in the manual as I have had that as an initial experience and was first very disappointed by the machine. The item missing from the manual is the fact that you need to prime the machine prior to making the coffee, especially if this is the first time using it. The manual mentions that this is a cleaning process which is partially true when the machine is new, but you also need to do this to prime the boiler whenever you use the machine. Bascially, this just involved opening the steam valve for a short time to purge the water, and then let the pump put out some water. After this step, you will find that the coffee output is very hot.
Bottom line, a very good machine, but an incomplete manual.

With user-friendly controls that even a novice can master, this 1250-watt espresso maker brews cafe-quality espresso from the comfort of home. The unit provides a maximum pump pressure of 15 bars so that each shot comes out with a thick layer of golden crema. It also comes with two stainless-steel filters (1-cup and 2-cup) and a steam nozzle for frothing milk when making cappuccinos. In addition to brewing excellent-tasting espresso drinks, the appliance also makes a sleek-looking addition to an modern kitchen with its polished stainless-steel housing, chrome base, and decorative frosted glass control panel and top cover. It's definitely an appliance to leave out on display.

A dual-function measuring spoon and tamper tool comes included. The espresso maker measures approximately 10 by 8 by 10-1/2 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.

Kalorik EXP 25022 800W 4-Cup Espresso Maker Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Nice design, well-made, easy to clean, makes mediocre moka (not real espresso) quickly, and is very quiet. Not enough pressure to produce any "crema", and doesn't heat the water sufficiently. Here is what I found that helps a bit:

(1) grind the coffee extremely fine, tamp and re-tamp hard.

(2) pre-heat the water in a "HotPot" or something similar -- it helps a great deal to make better moka.

Not quite as good as my old "Maxim" espresso-maker, but a lot faster and quieter.
