REVIEW – For many years I have been a casual coffee drinker, but over the past 3 years I have become used to having 2 or 3 refills of my large mug every day at work from Monday to Friday. French Vanilla has become my favorite flavor, and I like my coffee strong/bold and for …

REVIEW – Not long after having reviewed the original Aeropress Coffee Maker, I was provided the opportunity to review a pre-release sample of AeroPress Go Travel Coffee Press, a product billed as being more lightweight, compact and portable than its predecessor. Having been very impressed with the original Aeropress, the idea of Aeropress Go immediately …
REVIEW – I’m a daily coffee drinker, but I suppose not as sophisticated a connoisseur as some coffee aficionados. Because the free coffee at my work is an abysmally-flavored near-poison, I’d been considering the purchase of a French press with the intention of brewing my own coffee there. A few colleagues had mentioned a type …
NEWS – Making coffee when staying in hotel rooms is easy. Making good coffee is darn near impossible. The tiny electric drip or pod based machines typically provided are generally not capable of making a good cup of coffee. Does it get the water hot enough? Who knows! How clean are the insides? Hard to …

As I’ve gotten older, I’ve not only picked up a coffee habit, but I’ve started understanding the differences in types of brewing methods, beans and how a good barista can take a decent cup of coffee to greatness. That’s why I got pretty excited to see the GEESAA – Your Home Barista announce it is …

NEWS – I’ve seen these little pour-over brewers before. They’re basically just a funnel with a filter inside; you dump all the water in and coffee quickly collects in your cup. Oxo’s Pour-Over Coffee Maker with Water Tank claims to make a better cup of coffee because of the way it distributes water over the …

They’re any number of ways to make a fresh cup of coffee these days. If you’re like me, an old-fashioned drip coffee maker does the trick. But I’ve often heard that the best way to make a cup of coffee is to use a press. The Palmpress single-serve coffee press is a portable take on …

REVIEW – I have spent most of my life growing up and living in the greater Seattle area and am without a doubt a coffee snob/connoisseur. I detest Starbucks and will go miles out of my way to find espresso that isn’t burnt and bitter. On my travels finding good/tolerable coffee on the fly is …
I recently discovered the joy that is cold brew coffee. I like it because it’s more flavorful then iced coffee and being someone with stomach issues I love that it’s less acidic than a regular cup of Joe. The problem is it’s also more expensive to buy at your local coffee shop. And buying a …

Most of the cold brewers for coffee that I’ve seen lately take 12-24 hours to brew a pot. With the Cuisinart DCB-10 cold coffee brewer, you can brew a pot in as little as 25 minutes. Like other cold brewers where the coffee sits in the water and slowly extracts, the Cuisinart machine starts with …
