Posted in Kitchen on April 3rd, 2010 by Jim – Comments Off

If you’re currently in the market for a new coffee machine and are less than thrilled with the stuff you’re seeing on the market then perhaps you should consider a red coffee maker to add a little spice to your kitchen. Although the standard black and silver machines work great for some people, sometimes one just needs a bit more excitement in their lives. Apart from just looking different, red coffee makers allow you to add decorative value to your kitchen. After all, decorating your kitchen can be difficult enough, so why not makes things easier on yourself with some colorful appliances that you were going to buy anyway.

If you’ve searched at all online or in your local retailer for these brightly colored machines then you know that they aren’t necessarily easy to find. In fact, in preparation for this article we could only find a handful of machines and most, if not all, were from well known brands like Cuisinart, Hamilton Beach and Mr. Coffee. We also noticed that there doesn’t seem to be any great consensus in terms of the best red coffee maker.

If you’re curious to hear what other people are saying about these machines then you would be wise to head online to sites like Amazon, which not only sell a bunch of different coffee brewers, but also have an extensive list of user reviews to browse through. These reviews are great because people aren’t afraid to tell you what they really think about a particular product as they aren’t trying to sell you anything. In terms of bestsellers on Amazon, the top honor goes to a Hamilton Beach machine – the ‘43253’ 12-cup model, but you might also want to check out the Tassimo coffee maker which makes your coffee brewing as easy as possible.

Ultimately, buying a red coffee machine is a great way to differentiate you from the millions of people that stick to the ordinary black, white or silver small coffee pots. Not only can you enjoy great tasting coffee every morning, but you can do it in style, just remember that you will need to get a quality home coffee grinder to go with it if you wan the best results.

If you love a great cup of coffee at the coffee bar, and wonder why your cup at home does not measure up, a Capresso coffee grinder can bring that perfect cup of joe to your own kitchen. The Capresso Company has utilized Swiss technology and superb modern designs bringing coffee house magic into homes all over the world.

There are two types of coffee grinders, blade grinders and burr grinders. Blade grinders are small cylinders about that are about the size of a coffee travel mug. A stationary blade inside resembles a blender or food processor blade. You can grind enough coffee beans for a pot of coffee. Blade grinders will grind your beans fine enough for a pot of coffee, but not fine enough for espresso. Capresso blade grinders have a deep stainless steel well that helps eliminate heat build up while grinding your beans. This gives you a fresher tasting cup of coffee. The great thing about blade grinders is they are reasonable in price for about $19.00 and up you can bring one home.

Many home burr coffee grinders can produce the same results as their commercial coffee house counterparts. Capresso produces a variety of burr coffee grinders. Their counter top model has a hopper for the beans and an adjusting wheel to make the grind from coarse to fine. There is also a setting dose for up to 12 pots of coffee. If your brewing choice is the French press, a coarse grind will be perfect for that pot of coffee. For a regular coffee pot, you may want to experiment with the grind a bit. Start with the medium setting if your want the next pot to be a little bolder roast, adjust down a notch to a little finer. For an espresso machine, usually you want a fine grind, but depending on the quality of your machine, you may have to adjust it a little coarser.

Capresso Company also offers a sleek coffee brewer system that has the grinder built right in. It contains a charcoal water filter built into the unit. The beans dose right through the water filter into a gold cone coffee filter and begin your brewing. The machine has all the bells and whistles including a programmable brewing timer. They also offer an espresso machine with a grinder that has the same top of the line amenities.

Capresso coffee grinders have changed the flavor of home brewing. Coffee lovers can now enjoy the real coffee house brewing taste with every cup of coffee at home.
