Factory-Reconditioned Cuisinart DCC-1200FR Brew Central 12-Cup Coffeemaker, Brushed Stainless Steel Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Would I buy this coffee maker for the full price of the new model? Probably not. But the reconditioned one is a great value.It looks great, as is apparent from the photo. Keep in mind, though, that as a reconditioned unit, it may have some minor blemishes to its appearance. Mine, for example, has a very...

Nescafe Dolce Gusto by Krups Piccolo Coffee Machine Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I bought this coffee machine yesterday at Walmart after much research into Keurig, Tassimo and Senseo units.My first impression is that it's compact and ideal for the counter top. It's much simpler than the others in that there aren't a great number of moving parts. It is basic, but I really didn't need...

Chemex Drip Coffee Carafe - 8 Cup Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Using a Chemex requires water to be heated in a tea kettle prior to brewing, and it requires a finer ground than what auto-drip machines ask for. After the water is brought to a boil, it's important to wait for it to cool just slightly (about 30 seconds) and then you need to wet the grounds in the filter,...

Toastess TFC-2T 450-Watt Personal-Size Coffeemaker with Thermal Travel Mug Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Do you live alone? Are you the only coffee drinker in the house? Do large portions of your coffee go down the drain? Then this is perfect. I gave it a 4 because I really do not like the mug, but that is another thing, you can use any mug. Measure the water with the alternate mug, pour it in, put the...

Sunbeam Hot Shot Beverage Machine Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This is a marvelous appliance because it is just so darn simple! I bought one to keep in my office at work for making tea, and it has worked out great!There isn't even an on/off switch. Just put water in it, plug it in, and a red light goes off when it is ready to pour. Put a mug under the dispenser,...

Nescafe Dolce Gusto Single Serve Coffee Machines Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I want to love this machine. If you are considering purchasing the Dolce Gusto machine I STRONGLY suggest you sample the coffee first (I think Sur La Table has demo machines). Here's what I like about the machine:* The design is sleek.* It's well made and sturdy.* The machine heats the water up really...

NespressoC100 PianoBlack/Aerocc Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)The Nespresso system is about as simple as coffee making gets - you turn on the device until it heats up (about 30 seconds), put the pod into the holder, press GO and in 20 seconds or so you have the perfect espresso shot. There are variety of pod blends available, and the machine is capable of producing...

Swissmar Mountable Storage Unit for Nespresso Coffee Capsules Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I'm someone who is pretty critical of products, and have written some pretty scathing reviews of items that I feel have let me down. But having bought two of these, I just do NOT understand the bad reviews. First, I find it astounding that even ONE person (let alone THREE) would think that the rack...

Thermador : BICM24CS 24 Built-in Fully Automated Coffee Machine - Brushed Stainless Steel Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)As someone who has owned the Miele coffeemaker, this thermador BICM24cs 24 is way better due to its straightforward design, and ease of use. I will note that the only negative is that it is a bigger unit than the miele, but if you have the space, you will enjoy the Thermador. I would have given it 5...

DeLonghi DCF212T Drip Coffeemaker with Convenient Front Access Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)When my $100 coffee maker quit, I researched coffee makers and found this model from DeLonghi I hadn't heard of before. The design of this model sets a new standard for on-the-counter coffee makers. It is incredible to be able to put the filter, coffee, AND WATER in the maker without moving the machine....

Kalorik CM-17442 Aqua Line 12-Cup Coffeemaker, Chrome/Glass Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I like the look of this coffee maker- and the removeable water tank (no water to spill while filling). It brews relatively fast, coffee tastes good, but no automatic shutoff!! The on/off switch feels flimsy and the entire base the pot sits on gets VERY HOT- (not just the warming plate, but the whole...

Continental Metallic 4 Cup Coffee Maker - Metallic Red Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This is the Neatest machine, just the right size, just the right color. But the coffee is great. It pours slow to avoid a mess and we use 'cone #2 ' filter as we don't like the used grounds in our septic tank and it makes for a cleaner mess. We may use the included non-throw-away filter at a later date....

Chemex Drip Coffee Carafe - 6 Cup Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)There is a dirty little secret that many of these appliance companies don't want you to know. Manual drip coffee from a simple cone device makes the best coffee. Here's why. You need to have two tablespoons of coffee for every cup. The water must be just below the boiling point when it hits the grounds....

Nespresso 3194-Us-Bk Aeroccino and Milk Frother Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I bought this because my wife & I wanted to add frothed milk to our coffee, but we didn't want to buy or use a full-on espresso machine and its steam wand. We use it in conjuction with our Cuisinox Roma 6-cup Stainless Steel Stovetop Espresso Maker.I was skeptical at first. I'd never seen nor heard...

Saeco Vienna Plus Graphite Espresso Machine Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)We purchased this expresso maker after our first one, which we owned for years and years, finally died on us. We decided to get it repaired, but give it to our son and buy a new one for ourselves. When the new expresso maker arrived, we were terribly disappointed. Compared to the first machine, the quality...

Dip-It Automatic Drip Coffeemaker Cleaner: 7 OZ Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)When I was going to school (Purdue) in 1955, I worked at a "fixit" shop, where we repaired all sorts of small appliances like toasters, mixers, irons, coffeemakers and other things. One day my boss came in and said, "Here, use this stuff in that coffeepot you just fixed before you tell the owner it's...
