Excellent coffee maker, June 14, 2011 By Vince
"I simply repurchased a brand new Cuisinart DBM-8 Supreme Grind Automatic Burr Mill (CCM-16PC1) once my original identical unit died once ten years of usage. i used to be happy to visualize that i used to be able to purchase the precise same unit together with stainless end. I hope to urge another ten years out this one. I highly advocate the grinder. it's additionally pretty snazzy looking!"
An attractive, efficient, and competent grinder, March 13, 2004
By Trey Harris (New York, NY United States)
"This is the second automatic hopper-type burr grinder that I've owned. the primary was the similarly-priced Capresso 551.01, that died once a handful years of use. i do not understand what the lifespan of this Cuisinart grinder are going to be however, however thus far i am very impressed with the comparison between the 2. begin with the burden, at nearly four pounds--it merely feels a lot of substantial. (The Capresso could be a comparatively diminutive a pair of lb. 9 oz.) The casing is a beautiful stainless-steel (which may be a veneer over plastic, however it actually appearance nicer than the Capresso's black plastic) and also the hopper and grind chamber are of thick, good-quality acrylic.
The Capresso had to be emptied before changing the grind coarseness, and had atiny low, finger-bruising wheel with that to regulate it, however the Cuisinart's entire hopper turns freely to regulate the grind, crammed or not. i am additionally more than happy to search out that the Cuisinart does not dirt the countertop with a sprinkling of coffee once use, because the Capresso did. The motor is not whisper-quiet by any stretch, however it isn't as noisy as several home grinders.
There are solely 2 disadvantages of this grinder, in my opinion. First, the timer will solely be adjusted in two-cup increments (minimum of four cups). It will this with a satisfying click, but still, i might wish to nudge the slider somewhat for a weaker morning brew or a stronger nighttime one. Second, the hopper contains nearly four cups' value of coffee below the visible space, within the machine. That, combined with the grinder's heftier weight, makes it a chore to empty it if you wish to vary coffees (say, if a guest requests decaf). Not solely does one got to flip this brute upside-down, however you furthermore mght got to flip it each that approach so all the coffee within the machine works its answer.
But these are minor quibbles. Overall, this is often a wonderful machine."

Best coffee I've ever had, June 17, 2003 By Stefohnee "stef" (Redmond, WA United States)
"I previously owned a (much) smaller version of this press, that created a superb cup of coffee. however that was the matter. It solely created a CUP of coffee. I typically have 2, and what if others wish coffee? It takes a jiffy, going one cup at a time.
Needless to mention, I upgraded to the current larger press, that makes regarding three times additional coffee. It makes the most effective coffee ever - I might never return to a junky previous drip coffee maker once this. Yeah, it's additional work than a drip coffee maker, but really, would you rather have fast, simple coffee that tastes dangerous, or a delicious cup of coffee that takes five minutes more?
Using this is often like steeping tea - you boil some water, grind some coffee beans (I hope you are grinding your own coffee beans!) and pour the water over the coffee grounds to allow them to steep for four minutes. Then you push the knob down, that filters delicious coffee into the water and leaves the grounds at the lowest of your pot. Then, voila! you have regarding three cups of yummy coffee, reckoning on to what extent you water your cup down with cream and sugar.
If you are one in every of those people that simply cannot anticipate their coffee, you would be comfortable obtaining a typical drip coffee maker. however if you're keen on coffee, and need it to style nearly as good because it probably will, you've got to shop for this press."
The BEST!, June 9, 2011 By Annie Wagener (Denver, CO)
"Who knew? After years of coffee machines, and the latest $150 machine breaking after just 6 months, I decided to try this. Not only is the end product far superior in taste, but this is classic, beautiful design that takes up much less room than a coffee maker. I bought the milk frother as well so who needs the fancy coffee shops at $6/a cup?! Highly recommend this. "

We made not only the right choice but the Best Choice!, November 3, 2006
By Gary B. Kendrick (McDonough, Georgia USA)
"For years we've used the Mr. coffee Iced Tea makers and have purchased 2 of them. this point around we tend to selected to induce the Hamilton Beach 40911 2-qt Iced Tea Maker. albeit I/we haven't used the feature that permits you to position loose tea within the basket for brewing we tend to totally just like the Hamilton Beach methodology of brewing tea over the Mr. Coffee. initial of all the style (using Luzianne Family Tea luggage was superior to any tea we tend to ever brewed using the Mr. coffee makers. conjointly one terribly massive downside with the Mr. coffee maker is that the basket, for the luggage, sets within the reservoir and maker and most on every coffee you brew a pitcher and take away the basket you have got leakage of tea down within the manufacturers bottom that over time makes for a really ugly trying reservoir, where you place your clean water to brew your next pitcher. as a result of Hamilton Beach placed the basket directly within the Pitcher itself there's never any tea that finds its approach into the lowest of the tea maker. conjointly as a result of ridges within the bottom of the Mr. coffee maker it has always virtually not possible to totally clean the pitcher and restore it back to the clean condition at the time you initially used it. This feature alone makes the Hamilton Beach a much better obtain over the Mr. coffee however i assumed, before my purchase, that surely the 2 would build equivalent tasting tea however using each Lipton and Luzianne Family Tea luggage the Hamilton Beach not solely brews the tea faster however the style is healthier. On the Mr. coffee the strength of the tea is managementled by a sliding knob on the front of the maker whereas with the Hamilton Beach it's 3 rigid clicks of control on the lowest of the basket (mild, medium, strong), we tend to typically use Medium. We get pleasure from "Sweet-Tea" being from the South and anyone that produces smart sweet tea is aware of you sweeten it whereas it's hot at the time of brewing. Our methodology is to initial fill the pitcher to the road and fill the reservoir and refill the pitcher to constant water level and then add a pair of 1/4 to a pair of 1/2 cups of sugar and stir with a whisk till alright mixed. Once the tea is brewed you have got to stir the tea once more however you get good sweet tea every-time. If you get pleasure from tea, albeit you never thought-about an electrical tea maker, the Hamilton Beach are one purchase call you may not regret. Having 2 Mr. coffee makers before this Hamilton Beach i do not see myself ever getting another Mr. coffee unless they create several changes to their product and even then style is that the final call maker. I HIGHLY advocate the Hamilton Beach model and would gladly obtain it once more albeit it had been higher priced than the Mr. Coffee, it's very worthwhile."

Love this kettle, April 30, 2011 By pandagirl
"This was a great purchase. It is my first kettle so I don't have anything to compare it to, but I have had no problems with it. It is easy to clean, heats up fast on my electric stove, and the whistle is loud enough to hear in any part of my apartment, but might be too quiet for a house. The handle does get hot, so I use a towel or a pot older to lift it from the stove and to pour the water, but that isn't a big problem. I also love the way it looks. I would definitely recommend purchasing this product. My tea tastes great!! "
Perfect Kettle for Coffee!, March 24, 2005 By Tim (United States)
"I bought this kettle strictly for heating water for French press coffee making. Since this kettle is glass there is no chance of it imparting off flavors to the water (then the coffee). I got tired of my metal kettles becoming discolored and rusted, even with proper care. I love the idea of glass for coffee making and this kettle by Medelco is indispensable for coffee making!
It is also easy to clean (dishwasher safe) and looks wonderful. It holds 64 ounces of water when filled to the bottom of the rim, however DO NOT boil that much as it will erupt and shoot steaming water up out of the lid. I feel safe however boiling 50 to 55 ounces of water, which is more than enough for even the largest French presses.
I like to use a probe thermometer to monitor the water temp and stop at 200F, which is the ideal temperature for coffee brewing. This kettle does have a whistling lid that I use (I simply insert the thermometer into the whistling hole). The plastic handle is sturdy and remains cool (remember you can't use HIGH heat and expect the handle to stay cool, I like medium-high heat) to the touch and pouring is easy (the lid must be removed to pour). All the componets are thick and durable (especially the glass). With minimal care this kettle should last a lifetime.
All the features I wanted in a coffee kettle and add to that a fantastic price. Although inexpensive this kettle does not feel cheap. A wonderful value! "

The best home coffee maker!, May 1, 2011 By Deanna Jones (Seattle, WA)
"I absolutely love the Keurig! It's so simply and easy. You really only need a minute to make coffee with this machine. Make sure there's water, turn it on and after the water heats up, you're ready to go. Put your K Cup in, select small or large portion, and after less than 30 seconds you have a great cup of coffee.
Once you've gotten your Keurig, I recommend trying the My K Cup, then you can use ground coffee and are not limited to only using K Cups (though there is quite the variety out there, including Caribou flavors.)
I also love that there is no clean up. Just take the coffee (or tea) K Cup out after you've made your beverage and discard, that's it. "
Do your research, then use your head., June 5, 2009 By Peace Frog "Aktur" (Bakersfield, CA)
"I read every single Amazon.com review for this item. And then read them again. I went to the Keurig website and researched the B40. Came back to Amazon and read the reviews one more time. If I was going to pay $100 for a coffee machine, I wanted to be sure I knew as much as possible about it. I finally purchased the B40, and after getting it today and having brewed four cups of coffee so far, I offer the following review (from a BLACK COFFEE drinker, no milk, no sugar):
I think the people who claim this machine is too loud and complain that it vibrates too much are your normal "Mr. Coffee" people. Yes, the machine makes noise. It's pumping pressurized hot water into the K-Cups. Of course it's gonna make noise. I counted each time the noise was made. It lasts five seconds each time, at most. And it's MUCH quieter than my Melitta Mill & Brew, which grinds the coffee beans with a high shrill. This machine also vibrates. But again, it's well worth the minor noise and moderate vibration. You shouldn't be shelling out this much money for a coffee machine if you expect a Mr. Coffee coffee maker. You are buying a "gourmet" coffee machine, and it has some cool features that require hot pressurized water to be pumped through the machine. Not a big deal!
I think a lot of the negative reviews that I read, and maybe all of them, referred to an older version of the B40 that only had one cup size setting. Indeed, when I purchased this machine at Target today, the display model for the B40 had only one cup size. I had to triple-check the box to make sure I was getting the B40 with the TWO cup sizes (and I was). So maybe they have improved the machine since that version.
I read negative reviews about this machine making weak coffee. I was so freaked out about those reviews, I wanted to brew every K-Cup (even the Extra Bold) on the small cup setting. As I was brewing the third cup, I put in a "regular" K-Cup and hit the "large" cup setting. I immediately went into Panic Mode, worried that I just wasted a K-Cup, because my coffee would be too weak to drink. Not true at all! Yes, the coffee was not quite as strong as I would normally like, but it was a very decent cup of coffee. I will not worry if I ever hit the large size on a regular pod again. Although I plan on buying all Extra Bold cups, so that I can brew a bigger cup.
I am extremely pleased with this coffee machine. So much so that I plan to buy two of this same model (or the B60 if it's on sale) as Christmas gifts for my mom and uncle.
As a former coffee house Assistant Manager and an avid fan of "gourmet" coffee, I highly recommend this coffee machine. Probably the best $100 I have spent in at least five years. One of my biggest concerns was that the beans had NO TIME to brew properly in such a short amount of time. But I was completely wrong. This machine brews a nice, bold, rich cup of coffee. Slightly less bold and rich if you brew the regular pods on the larger cup setting; but still very drinkable. I was also concerned that the pods would leak after removing them from the machine, but they are almost dry. I haven't had a single one drip on the way to the trash can, and I remove them seconds after brewing. I'm extremely pleased with the ease and cleanliness of using this machine. No filters to deal with, no messy coffee grounds, no dirty coffee pots to wash (and filter baskets). The convenience of the machine alone is well worth the minor noise and vibration.
I highly recommend this machine. Just do your research and make sure this is the coffee machine you are looking for. It takes time to research, but it pays off in the end. I couldn't be happier with the B40, and don't see why anyone else wouldn't be just as pleased.
Time for me to make another cup. "

excellent product, surprisingly sturdy, April 9, 2006
By Amalfi Coast Girl (Mid-Atlantic, USA)
"I purchased these when seeing them on the Bodum.com web site. I admit the cool issue lured me in. The cups maintain the temperature of a cappuccino for as long because it takes me to induce to rock bottom of the cup. Additionally it's nice to not would like coasters (especially if you've got men or youngsters within the home). The nine oz cup is a smaller amount than four inches tall, creating it work perfectly beneath the fill spout of my super-automatic Saeco espresso machine (which I additionally love). My husband and that i have had four of those cups for over half dozen months and not one in every of them has broken. I mention this as a result of the nine oz cups appear to be way more durable than the twenty one oz Pavina ice tea glasses. we tend to broke one in every of the twenty one oz cups with the primary ice cube that went into the cup. we tend to broke a pair of others within the initial 2 weeks. Bottom line, I cannot advocate the twenty one oz Pavina. However, the nine oz Pavina cups are terribly robust, having survived half dozen months of daily use with but dainty house owners. i feel you may be very happy together with your purchase of the nine oz Pavina cups.
UPDATE: JULY 18, 2006 All four of the nine ounce Pavina mugs are still intact even with frequent use. I still advocate this product."
Use these glasses from morning to night, April 28, 2011
By Virginia Kuchta "RN retired now cooking hobbyist" (Palmdale, Ca)
"Love these glasses. I have been using them for over a year. I use one for hot coffee or tea in the morning then move on to iced coffee or other cold drinks in the afternoon. I like the fact that there is not any condensation expressed so no marks on the tables nor sticking to coasters. I don't like drinking out of the metal insulated cups, so these are perfect and the size is just right. These glasses can be used in the microwave to heat up lukewarm items. Unfortunately they are quite fragile, so be careful when washing and between uses. My husband is not allowed to wash my glass - one already shattered. "

looks good AND works like a charm! (updated Feb. 2011), January 1, 2008
By Eduardo Nietzsche (Houston)
"It's not often that one finds a product that's both visually attractive AND functionally satisfying. This kettle is one of those rare items: the shiny stainless steel body is beautiful to look at, and it boils water very very quickly! It features a nice big and sturdy handle which is very comfortable, and the spout is perfectly designed so that you'd have to be a real klutz to spill things. The cordless feature is wonderful, I tried a cheap ten dollar "Hot Pot" for a day or two and hated having to deal with the cord, plus that model doesn't have automatic shutoff despite what it says on the box---huge fire hazard! There is also a power-indicator light and water-level indicator gauge which are both handy, and I like that there is no exposed heating element inside which would be a pain to clean. Instead it's all smooth clean lines, inside and out!
Sure the outside of the kettle does get a little hot so you probably don't want to have this within reach of toddlers or anything, but if your toddlers can get up on your kitchen countertop then you have a LOT of other problems as well! I appreciated not having to deal with how plastic inevitably gets dirty-looking and sometimes leaves a funny taste in the water.
My only slight concern is that the lid needs a little bit of force to shut completely...probably some kind of insulating seal that shortens the time needed to bring water to a boil, but makes me wonder how durable that part of this kettle is going to be. Oh well, will find out in a few months or (hopefully) years, I suppose!
*UPDATED 2/14/2011: Still going strong, no complaints at all. I use it at least twice a day, most days. The lid has held up well. Highly recommend! "
great for making coffee, April 20, 2011 By Mr. EL
"I bought this to use for coffee and it is excellent. The just-after-boiled water is the perfect temperature for coffee, and much hotter than almost any commercial drip coffee maker can ever attain. This makes a huge difference to making the best coffee. This hot pot heats very quickly, shuts off reliably. It is great for its price. "
