JVPM1B JUAN VALDEZ POD COFFEE MAKER Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I paid only $15.00 for mine and I love it! My husband and I really enjoy a really good cup of coffee. The ease of this machine and way it brews makes for one incredible cup. The only time I have ever had leakage is when I used a new brand of coffee and didn't pack the edges of the filter down all the way.
No complaints, only a great taste and lot's of ease making it!

Swissgold KF300 1 Cup Pour Over Coffee Maker Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Swissgold is best known for their 24K gold permanent filters. I use one in by Bunn drip brewer because unlike paper filters the gold filter does not impair any filter taste. I purchased the Swissgold KF 300 to use when I just want a single cup but to tell you the truth it makes a better cup of coffee then my Bunn drip brewer. The reason for this is because coffee should be brewed at a temperature between 200 & 205 degrees. My Bunn brewer unfortunately only reaches a temperature of 190.
You heat the water on the stove until boiling point take it off the burner and let it set for 30 seconds or so to let the temperature drop a little and then pour it into the KF300, it is as simple as that. The only negative thing I can say about the KF 300 is I wish it brewed a little more coffee at a time. When you fill up the reservoir it holds about 8 oz. I cheat a little and add a little more water when the level drops because I use a 12 oz mug. If you want a single great cup of coffee I highly recommend this brewer.

The Swissgold KF300 is a one cup pour over drip coffee maker featuring the famous swissgold permanent coffee filter. Popularized by Melitta, pour over drip coffee makers are a favorite brewing method for many coffee aficionados. Simply put ground coffee in the filter, position the filter over your favorite mug (fits most common mug sizes) and pour hot water over the grounds. An insert in the filter mechanism has holes spaced out to regulate water flow and create a shower head brewing effect for even coffee grounds saturation and extraction of full flavor. If your current drip coffee maker is not brewing hot enough, this may be the way to go since you control the temperature of the water used for brewing. The filter pieces come apart for easy cleaning. Another quality product from Swissgold.

Grindmaster OPOD PrecisionBrew Pod Coffee Maker With Adjustable Brew Strength Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this to replace my Bunn pod brewer.I liked the Bunn, but after going through three in two years, I figured it was time to try another brand. The Grindmaster is somewhat of a commercial-grade product and hopefully it will last longer.
Grindmaster pros include:
- Quickly brews good-tasting and very hot coffee (adjustable)
- Works with every brand of pods we've tried
- Has a large water tank, and can be plumbed for automatic fillup
- Reasonably good looking, although a bit larger than others
- Lets you program the unit to exactly fill your favorite cup
On the negative side, about the only thing I've noticed is that the unit is a bit loud when running, and there's no way to turn off the (relatively bright) blue water level indicator lamp on the front of the unit.
I'd rate the overall quality as somewhat above the Bunn and other brands, but it's not necessarily in a completely different league.

Melitta U S A Inc 640007 Perfect Brew Filter Cone Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I like this product. It is inexpensive, has filters that can be found anywhere, and provides real coffee taste in instant coffee quantities and time. This is great for me, because I do not drink more than 1 cup at a time, and making any more would just waste coffee time and money.
This cone allows you to come up with your own perfect brewing recipe without wasting pounds and pounds of coffee. The way the beans are roasted, the quality of those beans, the amount of coffee grounds you use and how they're ground, the temperature of the water: all of these have a bearing on the taste of your coffee.
First, the water:
The industry standard for the ideal cup of coffee begins with a water temperature of 195-205 degrees. This is not quite boiling, which is why the "Monsieur Brew" brands make such bad coffee. Brewing with water at the boiling point over-extracts the beans, making for an overly bitter-tasting result.
Use a food thermometer to find this temperature range and use it with 2 tablespoons of coffee per 8 ounce cup of output as a starting point. Then vary the amount of grounds and water temperature as you see fit.
Now for the grind and blend of your coffee beans:
Melitta recommends that you get a coffee ground a little finer than the standard drip grind. You can easily get this done in one of the better supermarkets that has a coffee grinder for specialty coffees.
As for the blend, I'm not going to recommend brands, but the hallmark of inferior blends of coffee is that they start tasting sharp and nasty as they cool down. If this still happens with your Melitta filter after you've used the right amount of coffee and the right temperature of water, then you can blame it on your daily grind. With this filter you will quickly find which brands are good and which are bad in a matter of cups, not pots.
After this, keeping a couple of brief notes on what you do and how much stuff you use per cup will lead you to the best recipe for your kind of coffee in a relatively short period of time.

Bunn My Cafe Pourover Commercial-Grade Pod Brewer Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased this brewer in December of 2008 and it has worked perfectly every day. Here is the review I wrote on 26 April of 2009 for an older Amazon listing of the same coffee maker:
"I read the reviews about how unreliable this machine was, but I figured that people who are satisfied with their purchases are less likely to write a review than people who have problems. So I took a chance.
My only complaint so far is the difficulty of the start-up procedure. I had to use a baster to force water into the reservoir pump to get it started. I learned this trick from another reviewer on this website. Bunn would do their customers a great service by including a similar tool more suited to the task with each MCP they sell, along with the accompanying instructions. I have used this coffee maker everyday for five months and it has worked perfectly. Yes, it is noisy, but who cares? I finally have a GOOD, HOT cup of coffee in the morning!
While researching coffee makers I went to the Bunn website and discovered a helpful page called "Bunn Coffee Basics" which explained how a good cup of coffee is made. Bunn says that the water temperature during brewing should be between 195 and 205 degrees and that the best flavor comes from the beginning of the brew cycle (brew too cool and too long and you get bitter, acidic coffee). These are two elements of brewing that that drip coffee makers get horribly wrong. Conventional drip brewers never get hot enough, and to make matters worse they take a very long time to brew because they heat their water on the fly. The Bunn MCP pre-heats its water in a stainless steel tank. When I first set-up my MCP I tested the temperature of the water after brewing and it was consistently above 190 degrees (some temperature is lost during the brewing cycle).
I justified the high cost of purchase in two ways:
1. The convenience of brewing at home cannot be overstated. I get my coffee when I want it, the way I want it.
2. Coffee pods cost about 20 to 25 cents each. Starbucks or Dunkin' Donuts coffee costs a dollar thirty and up, depending on where you live. For me this machine will pay for itself in less than a year."
Nothing has changed about my opinion of this brewer. It makes hot, great tasting coffee fast.

Toastess TFC-326 Personal-Size 1-Cup Coffeemaker, Black Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I love coffee. And, I'm kind of an elitist when it comes to coffee. I can only use really good beans-- right now I'm using Lavazza, but my every day coffee is starbucks brand. The problem is, I cannot produce a good POT of coffee for the life of me. I don't know why. I use filtered water. I clean out the carafe. My regular every day machine has a water filter. I don't know why my pots of coffee are horrid compared to my husband's pots of coffee, which taste as if they came from the local coffeehouse/espresso bar.
So, after getting a free senseo (YUCK!), and giving it to a friend, I bought this little coffee maker. IT makes a really good cup of coffee I have not messed up even one time. And, I use it 5-10 times per day. It is just excellent. I've been looking at the higher priced one cup makers, such as the Tassimo, but I'm not sure I need it. With freshly ground good beans, this little coffee maker does the job.
This coffee maker, by the way, makes a hot cup of coffee-- definitely as hot as every full-size coffeemaker I've ever had. I'm wondering if the other reviewer just got a machine that didn't work too well. Or, maybe he just likes it from boiled water. Whatever the case, if you're used to drinking coffee made from regular drip machines, this one is fine.
I've had this coffeemaker for at least two months now, and I literally use it 5 to 10 times per day. I keep expecting it to break, because it's definitely not made expensively, but it keeps going. I think it's a great choice for someone like me or someone in an office.
This comes with a durable reusable gold-colored metal filter.

The perfect size for home, office, RV, or dorm-room use, this single-cup coffeemaker quickly brews one delicious cup of coffee at a time--no more wasted, leftover coffee turning bitter in a pot. Brew directly into any favorite mug--most will fit inside the compartment--or brew into the ceramic 10-ounce mug that comes included. The unit accommodates a variety of mug sizes and comes with an extra base to fit large mugs. In addition to making coffee, the appliance also produces hot water for tea, hot cocoa, instant soups, and more. Other highlights include an illuminated "on/off" switch, a water-level window for easy filling, a permanent nylon filter, and a small footprint that takes up minimal space on the counter or desk. The personal-size coffeemaker measures 5-2/7 by 6 by 8-2/7 inches and carries a two-year limited warranty.

Senseo 7810 Single-Serve Gourmet Coffee Machine, Black Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I received the Senseo coffee maker as a birthday gift 2 years ago and use it almost daily. I'm the only coffee drinker in the house and hate to waste a full pot of coffee if all I want is one or two cups. Making coffee with a Melitta one-cup filter is just too much work compared to the simplicity of the Senseo coffee maker.
The Senseo coffee maker has a reservoir that is easy to fill, and the pods are very convenient to just drop into the pod holder. Two tips I picked up from a single-serve review web site:
1: Pre-moisten the coffee pod so that the edges seal better to the holder, and
2: Preheat your milk so that the milk doesn't cool the coffee when it pours into your cup. I preheat my milk for 30 seconds in the microwave, easy to do while the water is warming up.
I like being able to make a quick double for my travel mug when I'm running late--much faster than driving to Dunkin' Donuts or Starbucks and not knowing how long the line will be.
I love to show off my machine for company. I can accommodate everyone, whether they want regular or decaf, mild or strong, etc.
My only wish is that there could be more varieties to choose from. Plus a little hot chocolate would be nice--especially with the foam on top that the machine makes with every cup. K-cups seem to own the market on variety.
Yes, my machine was one of the ones that was recalled. While I had no problem with the old machine, Philips made it very simple by shipping the new machine by FedEx and requesting that the old one be shipped back at their expense in the same packaging. And I was surprised with a pretty white one which replaced the old black one. The white one goes better in my kitchen, a silly thing to obsess about, but I like it.
All in all, the Senseo is quick, easy, fun, and convenient. It's also a lot cheaper than buying on the road.
