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.

There are many leading brands of coffee makers available in the market, Bunn coffee makers being one of them. In this article, we will elaborate on all the factors that need to be considered when buying Bunn coffee makers.

Here are the various kinds of Bunn coffee makers, which are classified according to the type of brewer that they feature:

• Pod coffee maker: The coffee is brewed by the cup and not by the gallon, and coffee pods are used instead of ground coffee.

• Thermal: The coffee is brewed into a thermal carafe. Because of this, the coffee stays hot for longer periods and thus fresher. As these Bunn coffee makers do not feature separate warmers, it is possible to use the thermal carafe at other locations.

• Drip: The coffee is brewed directly into pots. It is then kept hot by the warmers. The drip coffee maker is the oldest type, which is why there are plenty of models to select from.

• Satellite: This type of Bunn coffee maker is great for offices or other commercial applications as it can brew large quantities of coffee at a time. These are generally available with capacities of half to 1 gallon of coffee. You can use several servers with the brewer, which can then be kept hot by pacing on any warmer.

• Airpot: In this type of coffee maker, the coffee is brewed into an airpot. The main benefit of an airpot is that it allows you to keep the coffee warmer for longer periods. These too do not have any warmers. Some models of airpot Bunn coffee makers also have a gourmet funnel. This means that you can brew gourmet coffee easily as the funnel is large enough to hold the increased quantities of coffee grounds that are required to make gourmet coffee.

• Liquid: These bunn coffee makers use liquid coffee concentrate to brew coffee, and not grounds or powder. They are great for brewing large amounts of coffee.

• SoftHeat: These coffee makers are also ideal for brewing large amounts (up to 1.5 gallon) of coffee. SoftHeat refers to a unique server that has heat control which shuts off the unit entirely once the desired temperature is achieved. These bunn coffee makers also have an electronic grinder interface that automatically conveys to the grinder the precise amount of coffee that is required for the amount of brew needed.

• ThermoFresh: This coffee maker is also suitable for volume brewing. It can also store different coffee recipes, thus making it simple to brew various kinds of coffee.

• Urn: If your coffee brewing needs are enormous (11 to 19 gallons every hour), then this type of bunn coffee maker is the perfect choice.

There is nothing like the aroma of fresh roasted beans that wafts out of a gourmet coffee shop. The irresistible smell just beckons you to come inside. Once you step in there are so many choices it is difficult to choose. Although this beverage has been around for 100s of years it is only during the last century that specialized forms of this drink have become so popular.

There are literally 100's of different types of Gourmet coffee. They range from the strong tasting Columbian beverage to the milder flavored varieties. Columbian coffee has a strong bold taste and its pungent aroma will make any coffee lover succumb to its temptation. If you want to try something a little out of the ordinary then you can try one of the flavored varieties. They come in a wide variety of choices. Some of the most popular ones are French Vanilla, Toasted Almond, Cookies and Hazelnut.

Seasonal varieties of are fun to try, like Pumpkin Spice, that resembles the taste of pumpkin pie. This and similar ones will appear around the holiday season and can really give you a warm festive feeling on a cold winter's day.

Gourmet coffee can be found in many places now as it grows in popularity. Some of the most common places to find your favorite beverage are, doughnut shops. Who would ever dream of having their morning doughnut without this stimulating beverage?

Starbucks and Coffeebeans are some of the most popular and innovative homes of this beverage. It has become popular as a family gathering place and in turn a meeting place for the younger generation. They have all sorts of incredible flavors just waiting to be tried.

However these specialized shops are not the only places you can pick up a wonderful brew. Events of all sorts and sizes always have a place where you can sip your favorite beverage. You can get a surprisingly good cup at some of these small places; so do not miss out because they are not a big name.

Gourmet coffee recipes can also be enjoyed at home alone or with other coffee lovers. You should always start with whole beans and grind them just before brewing. This will give you the freshest coffee possible. Try to use fresh spring water, light cream and sugar if you wish. You can experiment with different flavors and ingredients to brighten up your day with your favorite beverage.

How do I make gourmet coffee drinks like Starbucks?

I usually don't drink coffee. However, when the holidays are round around the corner, I HAVE to have gourmet coffee. I would appreciate it if you can provide recipes for cappucinos, lattes, espressos, etc.

1) Keep a variety of CoffeeMate & International Delight flavors in the fridge. Or you can buy those syrup pumps. Possibly in bulk on eBay or Costco.

2) Coffee + Ovaltine & either 1/2 & 1/2 or heavy whipping cream make the dreamiest mochas.

3)Stock some additives; powdered baking chocolate, Sweet n Low (the only sweetner that really tastes good in coffee) extracts, like vanilla, almond, etc.

4)When you're feeling creative, don't be afraid to put coffee in the blender with some solid things, like white chocolate chips.

5)Remember that Starbucks coffees are fattening & that fattening ingrediants always taste better.
