Is there a more discussed drink on the planet than coffee? Everyone has an opinion; it's good for you...it's bad for you... only have two cups a day... don't freeze the beans... no, wait - yes, go ahead, freeze the beans. Who knows!

What type of coffee maker should you buy; a single cup coffee maker, espresso coffee maker, commercial coffee maker, Bunn coffee maker, Senseo coffee maker... what's the advantage of using a coffee pod? Are you a gourmet coffee fan? What do you think of Gevalia coffee? What are your coffee storage habits like? Do you freeze coffee beans?... simply a myriad of questions and coffee is such a terrific conversation point.

Ever been stuck for a gift idea? Who hasn't. I have never failed to impress with a coffee gift basket. They make a wonderful gift and let's face it, it won't be shoved in a wardrobe somewhere to gather dust. A coffee gift basket can come in all shapes and sizes and believe me, you will impress.

Gourmet Coffee For The Morning Person?

What's the first thing people look for when they get up in the morning. Yes, that's right. A heart starter. So then how can it be bad for your heart? You've heard it often.. "I need a coffee. I need to wake up."

Instead of cutting down on coffee, the human race has found ways to expand on this popular drink. There's the famous cappuccino; a cafe latte; short black; long black; an espresso; a flat white and the list goes on and on. Fortunes have been made with coffee. Just look at some of the major franchises around the world. And then there's my favorite. Where can you get the best cup of coffee from? I bet you've got a favorite haunt. I know I do.

Too Many Coffee Beverages To Mention

Can you believe the number of coffee drinks available to consumers today? I don't know about you but you almost need a degree in coffee identification to keep up with the amount of flavors available. Here's a shortlist: cappuccinos, espresso, caffe latte, mocha, flat white, gourmet, iced, double shot espresso and the list goes on.

In my childhood days you had a choice; percolated or instant and we just drank coffee because it helped "blow out the cobwebs" first thing in the morning or gave you that kick you needed in the middle afternoon to get through the rest of the day.

Drive thru coffee outlets have been popular first stops for people traveling to work in American cities for a long time now and this phenomenon is starting to catch on elsewhere. Coffee is talked about in different terms with the world gourmet now introduced into coffee vocabulary.

Coffee Houses Became Common Meeting Places

Coffee houses spread across Europe and soon they became gathering places for those intellectuals who debated among themselves. In fact, nothing has really changed with cafe style shops commonplace just about everywhere in the western world today. Once settlers began to arrive in the Americas, coffee soon followed.

By the time of the American Revolution, since the patriots had decided not to drink tea in protest, coffee was actually adopted as the national drink. Since that time, it has continued its domination and is the most popular beverage when you take into consideration all countries.

In modern times, coffee franchises have become big business; Starbucks and Gloria Jeans are just two of the giants of the coffee industry. Street corner coffee vans are a popular first stop for many western world workers on their way to work in the morning.

The interesting thing with coffee is you don't necessarily have to drink it to enjoy it. A dose of fresh coffee aroma first thing in the morning is just about the closest thing to heaven for this author.

At Coffeemakerheaven.com we hope to provide as much information and news as possible on this popular conversational topic. So keep coming back often, grab a cuppa and read through the latest news in the world of coffee and check out the deals on all types of coffee makers.

Cuisinart coffee maker annoying beeping?

I am really interested in buying one of Cuisinart coffee makers. I read that it beeps when it finishes brewing and some other time and there is no way to turn the beeping off. Is this correct? Is there any model where it can be done?
I do not care that it is quite, I just do not want to have it... it would be just very annoying thing to have.

I had a Cuisinart Coffee Maker that I bought over a year ago. The beeping was somewhat annoying but I did not really like the coffee machine overall as well as some others.
I am looking into getting a Keurig as I've heard some very good things about them.
Right now, I'm still using my Kitchen Aid coffee maker which I got at Sears and works great.
Good Luck!

what is a good coffee maker with a thermal carafe, espresso maker and easy to clean?

i have NO experience making coffee so any help is appreciated

I haven't found a good coffee and espresso maker in one. I prefer the Mr. Coffee thermal carafe coffee makers for regular coffee. Easy to use, easy to clean, strong (no glass) and they make good coffee. (Being able to set things up the night before, and have fresh coffee in the morning, when I'm going to be in a hurry in the morning, is nice too.)

does bunn make a coffee maker for the home with an automatic warmer shut off?

I would love to have a bunn coffee maker for my home. I am spoiled with my cheapo coffee pot's automatic shut off. I have been looking around online and cant seem to find a reasonably priced bunn for the home with the auto shut off. can anyone help?

The Bunn home coffee makers are designed in such a way that you are supposed to leave them on all the time (unless you are planning not to use your coffee maker for several days). Here is a link for a page that explains very clearly how a typical Bunn home coffee maker works:

http://www.espresso-machines-and-coffee-makers.com/bunn-home-coffee-maker.html

You will also find a useful summary of what users like and dislike most about Bunn coffee makers.

If you want to read more about the individual models then have a look at this:

Does any one have this cofee maker?

Hi everyone! Thanks for clicking!!

I didn't check the link.

But, I have used several different coffee makers. It should be keeping your coffee warm for some period of time. If this is a new coffee maker and it's not operating correctly, take it back and get another one. Sears is usually pretty good about that.

1. Read the instruction manual. Do you have to set the warmer plate to stay one. (The manual might be on line if you've lost yours.)

2. Some manufacturers have a hot line you can call for help. So, who makes Kenmore for Sears?

3. If you can't return it, or fix it an alternative solution would be to purchase an insulated coffee carafe. Those things keep coffee hot for several hours without using any energy at all.

If you are looking to buy a pod coffee maker, you may be a bit hesitant about buying the wrong one. With popularity in the single serve variety growing, more and more companies are coming out with their own versions. So which one should you go with? Read on to find out!

No matter which brand you choose, every pod coffee maker is designed to brew the perfect cuppa. No grinding up beans or measuring out grinds anymore. You just pop the pod in the machine, add water, press the button and you're good to go. And you can forget about pouring yourself a cup only to find it stale and cold because that pot has been sitting around for an hour. Now you can have a fresh cup every single time.

To help narrow down your choices, you can basically break down pod coffee makers into three different categories based on the kinds of pods that they use. They are k-cups, T-discs, and pods.

K-cups are small little pre-measured cups designed to be used with Keurig machines. They come in a multitude of varieties of gourmet coffees as well as teas and hot cocoa. They are simple to use, as you just place the k-cup into the reservoir, and press the button. When you're finished, you just toss the used cup away. The only problem is that the k-cups are only compatible with Keurig coffee makers. However, the varieties they offer are tremendous. Companies like Green Mountain offer all kinds of roasts and blends. You can even get some of your favorite name brands like Tully's coffee, or even Bigelow's and Twining tea.

If espresso is more to your liking, then Tassimo offers what they refer to as a T DISC. The T DISCs utilize a special bar code printed on the label that will tell the Tassimo pod coffee maker what kind of beverage you are making, the size, as well as brewing time and the proper temperature the water should be. Tassimo offers name brand coffees you love like Starbucks as well as Gevalia. Because of the unique bar code, you can have a steaming cup of cappucino complete with foam using a Tassimo machine.

The third kind of pod coffee maker is universal ones such as the My Cafe by Bunn or the MokAbista by Kenwood. These coffee makers are designed to take a variety of pods so you're not limited to just one type. That doesn't mean that they can use any kind, though, so be aware of what pods are compatible with what machine before you buy. For example, the MokAbista can use any Senseo, Kenco, Cafe Crema or supermarket brand pods. It does this by utilizing a dual pod system. One holder is designed to hold Espresso (ESE) pods, while the other holds Cafe Crema and Double Crema (soft pods).

There is another option if you prefer to use k-cups but don't want to be stuck using the brands that Keurig offers. The Perfect Pod Holster will allow you to use almost any kind of 55ml pod in a Keurig machine. This means that you can use a Senseo pod in your Keurig coffee maker by putting it in this device. The holster does this by use of a self-tamping spring that allows it to properly extract the coffee from the pod.

As you can see, each kind has its own distinct advantages and disadvantages. No matter which type you go with, you can agree that pod coffee makers have done a lot to simply our lives.

The title of this article may seem silly at first glance. After all, how difficult is it to heat water? On the surface, the answer to this question is obvious; however, there is more to heating water than just placing a saucepan on your stovetop, particularly when the water will be used to brew coffee. Because most people drink coffee first thing in the morning, time is of the essence, and waiting for the water to boil on the stovetop is simply not acceptable. Another important consideration is the temperature of the water, since coffee is best brewed at a temperature between 195-205F. Temperatures outside of this recommended range will likely produce a poor cup of coffee, since the extraction process will be negatively affected. The solution to these issues is the electric kettle - a device that can boil 16 ounces of water in just 2 minutes. As with most coffee-related devices, there are many different options when it comes to electric kettles. The following article will list the important features to consider before purchasing a kettle.

Corded vs. Cordless

I have owned both models and vastly prefer the cordless model for ease of use and for safety reasons. A cordless electric kettle can be transported around the kitchen or the office, which comes in handy when the electrical outlet is located away from your French press or other manual small coffee maker. When holding a vessel containing boiling water it's also a good idea not to have it attached to a cord that can easily become tangled or tripped over. Cordless electric kettles are also much easier to pour than corded models, since they allow for freedom of movement.

Fixed or Variable Temperature

Because coffee is best brewed within a specific temperature range, purchasing a kettle with specific temperature set points is a good idea. While most electric kettles will heat water until it's boiling, kettles with individual set points can be programmed to heat to nearly any temperature. Kettles than can be set also come in handy when heating water for hot cocoa or tea, which don't require boiling water.

Automatic Shutoff

For safety reasons it's important that the model you choose contain an auto shutoff feature that will automatically shut off the kettle once the water has reached the boiling point. While most electric kettles now contain this feature, there are models available that do not. Be certain to look closely for this in the product reviews or literature.

Choosing an electric kettle can help you brew coffee more efficiently and at the proper temperature. Before purchasing your first electric kettle it's important to consider the factors mentioned above.

Have you ever walked into a coffee shop or the coffee aisle at your grocery store and felt overwhelmed by all of the choices? There's a million different things to choose from, including the type of roast.

I've definitely been there. I've been known to walk into my favorite coffee shop and go eeny, meeny, miny, moe to pick a coffee. I always drifted towards darker roasts because they were so much smoother and sweeter. However, I've learned that the lighter roasts pack all of the caffeine and anyone that knows me, knows that I need as much caffeine as I can possibly get in ever sip.

I knew that the bean color was determined by the way they were roasted, but that was just about it and I really didn't know what it all meant.

I started to do more research and talked to several coffee "experts" so that I and now you could get the best tasting cup of coffee.

One of the first things that I learned, is that the darker a bean, the longer it was in the coffee roaster. A darker roasts tastes smoother because it has less fiber and has a more sugary flavor.

A lighter roast, that spends less time in a roaster has more caffeine, but also has a slightly bitter taste. It also has a stronger flavor because the aromatic oils don't get destroyed during the short roast.

Here's what you need to know so far:

Dark Roasts = Smooth and Sugary. Light Roasts = Bitter And Chock Full Of Caffeine.

A more in depth look:

The creation of coffee starts with raw or unroasted beans that are green. If you have a coffee roaster, you can roast your own beans and you're probably way too overqualified to be reading this article. For the rest of us, green beans are pretty much useless.

Light Roast:

Light roasts usually equals poor quality coffee because the beans are acidic, but they are full of caffeine.

A few examples:

• New England Roast
• Half City Roast
• Cinnamon Roast - The cinnamon roast has a dry surface with no oils and the flavor is light bodied.

Medium Roast:

When they keep it in the roaster a little longer, you get a medium roast.  It's traditionally a breakfast coffee with good level of acidity and clean finish. It has a balanced body of flavor, which I'm told is a good thing. You can find it in grocery stores and is good for drip coffee makers, or other words, it's an every day type of coffee.

• Breakfast Roast - Slightly sweeter than a light roast
• American Roast - Not as dark as European roasts and generally considered to have a good aroma.
• City Roast - Slightly darker than the American Roast

Medium Dark Roast:

Beans that are roasted for a longer time are considered a Medium Dark Roast. They're roasted long enough to bring out the natural oil of the coffee to the surface of the bean. They have low levels of caffeine and acidity. They have a bittersweet flavor with a full body. It's commonly used in cafes and coffee shops.

• French Roast - Also goes under the name dark roast. It's used to make espresso.
• Continental Roast - It's slightly lighter and has a spicy body.
• Viennese Roast - It spends slightly longer in the roast than American roast and has a rich, chocolaty body.

Dark Roast:

Italian Roast - This bean spends the longest time in the roaster. It's roasted until the bean is almost jet black so it has a smoky, well roasted taste and masks the natural coffee bean flavor.

One last note. Just because they're called French or Italian roasts, doesn't mean that it's actually from there, it's just referring to the type of roast.

What is the best coffee maker? Let us compare three drip coffee makers to help find the best coffee maker for you.

First, let us take a look at the Zojirushi EC-DAC50 5 Cup Drip Coffee Maker. Zojirushi is known for making quality coffee machine, and this one is no exception. It looks distinct and very compact, and it is very attractive. This is pretty expensive though, and the most expensive among the three coffee makers that we are looking at in this article.

This is probably the reason why this coffee maker is so well made. Instead of using words to label the control buttons, Zojirushi opted to use symbolic icons, which are easy to understand. The coffee filter sits inside the lid of the pot and not attached to the coffee maker itself, which makes it easier to see and use. The filter this coffee machine uses is a cone-bottom one, which helps make better tasting coffee than a flat-bottom filter.

The concealed water reservoir is removable so refilling it is easy and mess-free. The water reservoir also makes use of a charcoal filter, which removes impurities in the water, such as chlorine. The charcoal filter lasts about 2 years with regular use. This coffee maker has a heating plate as well, ensuring that the last cup is as hot as the first cup.

If you are looking for a quality 5 cup drip coffee brewer, and willing to spend the extra cash, the Zojirushi EC-DAC50 5 Cup Drip Coffee Maker is highly recommended.

Second, let us take a look at the Hamilton Beach Aroma Express 5 Cup Coffee Maker. This is a low-cost brewer, despite being low-priced, is packed with features. It has a large wide-mouthed water reservoir, a swing-out filter basket and also a heating plate that keeps your coffee hot. And the filter basket and the carafe can go in the dishwasher, making this machine very maintenance friendly.

Sadly, the Hamilton Beach Aroma Express gets somewhat mixed reviews. The problem usually stems from its filter basket. It appears that the filter is hard to remove, and it is also hard to insert into the coffee brewer. And, if you pour water into the reservoir too quickly, you will spill water all over the counter. There are also complaints about the carafe spilling if you happen to pour coffee too quickly. Therefore, a lot more care is required when handling this machine. This is a low-cost machine and you have to adapt to it a little to compensate for the compromise in quality. Taken as a whole though, for a low-cost machine, it does act upon what it promises.

Finally, let us take a look at the Black & Decker DCM18 Brew 'n Go Coffee Machine. This is a drip coffee maker that caters to those who want a low-cost single cup coffee brewer. The striking feature about this machine is the travel mug. The travel mug fits most car cup holders, and has a non-slip handle. It brews coffee fast, and it brews coffee directly into the travel mug and automatically shuts off after brewing, so if you are in a hurry to leave, just take the travel mug with you without having to worry about leaving the machine on.

It also comes with a reusable filter as well, so you do not have to worry about disposable filters. This brewer also heats water for instant soup, tea, hot chocolate, or oatmeal.

This coffee machine generally receives positive feedback from those who have used it. Most complaints stem from misuse and from using finely ground coffee beans. For example, it is hard to find a replacement for the travel mug if you happen to lose it. And avoid using very fine ground coffee beans or else the grounds will reach the water reservoir. Overall though, for a low-priced single cup coffee maker, this is a great machine.

I'm looking hard for a coffee maker that makes good, and hot coffee. I have bought, and returned many?

I like coffee to be piping hot. I tried Senseo. 5 different Mr. Coffee machines, GE, Perculators, even a $100 Bunn. They all make coffee that is only warm to me. So who is really happy with their coffee maker? What is the hotest brand out there. You can tell I'm very into my coffee. It is the first thing I care about in the morning, and I have about 8-10 cups a day, so its only natural that I want it my way.
I suspect that the manufacturers produce their machines to work with lower temperature water for safety reasons. But all elecrtic kettles, stoves and ovens go to propper temps. Why should my coffee suffer? Do I need to pay $250 for a commercial brewer?
Thank you for your time on this.

I know your problem, my fix has been to pop my cup in the microwave for about 30 seconds and give my cup an extra zap of heat.

You might also try warming your cup before you fill it with coffee by running it under hot water for a minute.
