You can never have too much coffee…
Seems I’m a bit late to the game reporting this, but…if you own a Tassimo Single-Cup brewer, it’s been recalled due to a burn hazard. Bosch models numbers TAS100, TAS200, TAS451, TAS46, and TAS651 are potentially affected if their date code is in the range of FD8806 through 9109, as is the Tassimo Professionl TAS6512CUL […]
Keurig has a new machine out (the Vue System), and are leveraging social networking to help promote this. They’re taking applications for free Keurig House Parties. They provide the machine, coffee, etc, you provide the people. Sounds a bit like Tupperware. Note though that this new Vue system isn’t compatible with current K-cups.
The single-serve coffee machines seem to be everywhere you look; my local movie theater even uses them! They do offer fantastic convenience and consistent quality, but it comes at a price…according to the New York Times, the cost can be as high as $50 per pound (and that’s not taking into account the cost of […]
Don’t get too excited (or scared)…this is just a concept! It’s definitely unique…a beautiful concept for brewing coffee and tea, though not without some functional issues. Check it out at Yanko Design.
I love coffee made from my AeroPress, though don’t like having to use paper filters (though they’re great for the compost pile) and having to remember to take them when camping is a pain. Well, there’s a nice reusable alternative now, this stainless steel filter from Coava (available on Amazon). Pretty cool. They also make […]
I gotta admire the persistence exhibited by the developer of the UglyRoast coffee roaster, a home-grown coffee roasting contraption. The project ended with the purchase of an off the shelf coffee roaster, but the website is still a good read for those of you interested in building your own. You can check it out at […]
The new Bodum pour over coffee machine is quite remarkable. I say that because, well, I don’t get it. $250 for what appears to be an enhanced drip coffee maker? Sure, it looks cool. Nice design. Nice materials. But $250 for a drip maker? I don’t quite get it. Maybe I need to try to […]
Fresh ground coffee is tough to come by when camping. How to grind it, though? There are hand crank grinders available, but these are large and not well suited to camping. Well, the people at Mountainize.com came up with a very clever solution. They found pepper for sale at Trader Joes in a container that […]
Before you get too excited, know that growing your own coffee can be very difficult depending on where you live, I speak from experience! Still, even if you never end up with a giant fruit-producing tree, smaller coffee plants are still beautiful houseplants and great conversation starters. I came across a nice starter kit over […]
The popular website Kickstarter is proving to be a great way for entrepreneurs to launch product ideas, and the latest that caught my eye there is this new espresso machine. It uses a PID controller to more precisely regulate the temperature of the water (or steam, depending on what’s desired). It’s a great idea, and […]
