[Electronics-talk] Accessible Coffee Makers

[Chip Orange]

If you would consider one of the "cup at a time" types of coffee makers, Bed Bath and Beyond sells one of these called a Tassimo (where the hot beverage is a little pod with barcodes on it), and it just has one button you push to start the process.

It's different from the Kureg (sp?) in that it can handle pods of milk and chocolate syrup so that it can make frothed capachinos or lates or hot chocolate, etc.  I have been extremely happy with this brand, the choice of drinks, the ease of operation, the quality of the drinks, etc.  Let me be clear, you must buy Tassimo T-discs, it will not use K-cups (although they amount to the same thing).

Now, when a friend comes by he can have an espresso and I can have a pumpkin spice late, and it's all ready within 2 minutes or so.

You can also order these from Home Shopping Network and Amazon (my wife orders from HSN because they carry a white countertop model, while mostly I believe they're black).

I've seen several different models, which only varies in how much water they held, and they were all around $100 with $50 or $75 worth of free coffee pods (I think the HSN is the best place to get this kind of deal).

HI,

 

I would like to give an accessible coffee maker to my friend as a holiday
gift. She would like to be able to set the clock, the timer, the brew
strength, etc. independently. I see that Mr. Coffee makes a Wifi-enabled
model, called the Mr. Coffee Smart Wifi-Enabled WeMo 10-Cup Optimal Brew
Coffeemaker, model BVMC-PSTX91WE. Has anyone used this model? Does it make
good tasting coffee? Is the iPhone app accessible? Is the appliance
well-built? Comments on this or other similar models welcome.

 

Thanks for your time.

--Doug
