Disclaimer: this post is not for everyone and intended for info and our opinion only. Knowing that we like just real good-tasting coffee regardless of how it is brewed will help you understand that we don't have to have one of the $500 - $1000 espresso-pumpin', latte-frothin', whooptie-doosey machines.
Just a simple cup of joe will do for us.
just sayin'...
I have resisted those cute little K-Cups since they first came out. Why make just one cup at the time? Well, there ARE times when Deb wants a cup in the afternoon or early evening.
Anyway, HB recently brought this product to market and we fell for it. Our initial response is "GREAT JOB, folks". Just what we wanted.
Three ways or more to brew...Full pot or half pot, etc.; for those times when you want just one cup - K-Cup; for travel mug size - got it covered; for two cups - got THAT covered.
I read the mixed reviews - they are ALWAYS folks that skew the results because they don't take the time to read the 'structions. But we decided to try it knowing we could return it if not happy.
We're happy. The K-cups work great (pretty quick) and measured temp of 177* per the lightning fast
orange thermapen.. The carafe side brews quicker than our Cuisinart and hot as we want it. It has a mini-basket for brewing enough for a 14 oz travel mug or a couple of cups for just the two of us.
Now we have plenty of options when it comes to coffee time.
PLUS...we had the 20% discount from Bad Breath and Beyond.
