it occurs to me to return the favor. But doing so leaves me troubled: just how does one return the favor? One runs vinegar through a coffee-maker. But vinegar through the dishwasher seems vaguely inappropriate. And yet it seems...

basket when brewing 4 cups, the alternate is to use coffee pods....UGH. The coffeemaker is built like a Sherman tank, it has a automatic shutoff after 1/2 hour and a line cord that rivals those on most power tools, this cord does...

with just about every aspect of brewing and concluded that roasting (too much trouble) and grinding just before bewing and using a coffeemaker with a vacuum carafe make the biggest differences. I don’t think plastic filter...

Although I never did this, I once read about putting the bowl of chocolate on the warming plate of a drip coffee-maker, which is just the right temp for this task. I am absolutely loving the 1.5 qt silicone mixing bowl and set of...

Not stainless, but we’ve really enjoyed the Chemex glass water kettle at the bottom of the page http://www.chemexcoffeemaker.com/Coffeemakers.htm It’s much more sturdy than you might imagine. It’s already...

at which to brew it, vigorous admonishment against using a coffeemaker with a hot plate] that the angry anti-elitist in me was really looking forward to being underwhelmed. Long story short [too late], easily the best coffee...

Yes, but what Allstonian was saying is that you told the OP “Get the Bialetti.” Both of the coffeemakers he was asking about ARE Bialetti stovetop models, so no matter which he gets, he’s going to get a...

Anything in particular that you’re hoping to get, or that you’re planning on giving? I’m hoping for a new good coffeemaker, maybe a good rolling pin, and looking around for other ideas. Definitely giving a...

in intuiting that most drip coffeemakers don’t get hot enough, a percolator gets too hot: it works by boiling the coffee. (Okay, if you live at an altitude of 5,000-7,500 feet, your water temperature will actually be okay,...

I bought a Technivorm a few months ago and it is, by far, the best coffee maker on the market. In spite of the price, even Cook’s Illustrated agreed. No bells, no whistles, just the only drip coffeemaker that delivers the...

- which never seems to consistently come out right for me. So here’s what I did today and the tea came out perfectly. I used my electric coffeemaker. I measured two cups of water into the Braun unit and then placed a paper...

i just remembered this tip a friend who used to sell coffeemakers to commercial institutions told me (when she would do a demo): you can use fewer grounds if you use two filters at once, making the coffee sit on the grounds a...

Every time this question is asked, I sing the praises of my Capresso grinder/coffeemaker. I make a 4-cup pot when it’s just me (that’s two or so mugs). I like the choices this coffee maker offers. In addition to...

If by “stovetop espresso maker” you mean a moka (the two-part aluminum thing that screws together with the water in the bottom and the coffee in the middle), that takes the same coarser grind as drip coffeemakers.

coffeemaker. I find that undergrinding has a poorer result than grinding too finely. Good Luck!
