Home Coffee Maker Guide
You would probably be hard pressed to find a home today that doesn’t own a coffee maker. They are in practically every kitchen in America.

The coffee maker you decide on for your kitchen should be one that matches your coffee preferences. If all that you are concerned with is making a good cup of coffee, a simple coffee maker will suffice. However, if you are regularly making a morning trek to the local coffee shop for an espresso, then you might want to consider purchasing one for your kitchen.

News: The New WMF1 One Cup Coffee Maker
This is the new WMF1 one cup coffee maker. This coffee maker is stylish in design with a straightforward loading system. To make a cup of coffee you load enough water for one cup in the the flip-up lid at the top of the coffee machine. The cassette located above the coffee mug is where you insert the coffee pod then you press a button to heat the water and brew a cup of coffee directly in your mug. The coffee maker will come in kiwi, berry, stone, silver and black colors.
I would normally avoid using coffee makers with the coffee pod system since you never know how fresh the coffee is and being stuck in the coffee pod economy, but I would give this coffee maker a go considering the excellent design. From the looks of it though you might have trouble using your favorite coffee mug with this coffee maker since it has a special niche for the supplied coffee mug. There is no word on price yet since the press release.

Hourglass Coffee Maker Review
The Hourglass Coffee Maker is a simplistic product, focusing on design. But lets look at the brewing process.
The concept of the Hourglass is simple. You put grounds to soak in the bottom, then you wait 12 hours and flip it to filter your coffee into the empty chamber.
But it’s not that simple.
The system uses cold brewing, meaning that you load system with grounds and water before waiting 12+ hours to brew. Once it’s brewed and you do the flippy part, you still don’t have coffee. You have something called “coffee extract.” So you heat some water and add two shots of the extract. And then you finally have coffee.
On the plus side, the system does promise to brew coffee with far lower acid content than traditional methods. In case you’re interested, the Hourglass Coffee Maker goes for $70.

Jura and Bosch use Claris filters which are recognized worldwide for their efficiency. Saeco and Gaggia use Aqua Prima Filters which are also highly effective in creating clear, clean water which eliminates bad coffee odor.
