Keurig Elite Single-Cup Electric Coffee Maker

Need a quick cup of coffee in the morning without much fuss? The Keurig B60 Special Edition Gourmet Single-Cup Home-Brewing System
might be just the ticket. While this is not Keurig’s top-of-the-line model it is getting rave reviews from coffee lovers. While coffee from this system is a more expensive, per cup, than coffee brewed by the pot, it is lots cheaper than coffee shop brews with no sacrifice in quality. The great advantage of single cup electric coffee makers is that there is no waste. Just brew exactly what you need.

This model has a 48 oz. removable water reservoir and uses the k-cup system for precise measuring and easy cleanup. The Keurig B60 Special Edition Gourmet Single-Cup Home-Brewing System
lets you set two brewing sizes (8 oz. or 10 oz.) There is a removable drip tray that is dishwasher safe and the nozzle is high enough that you can brew directly into a travel mug.

Because k-cups are available in a huge variety of coffees you will almost certainly be able to find one that you like. Shop online to find the best deals and varieties. The k-cups are available by the box of 24 or case of 96. Even fair trade coffees available in this format. The Keurig B60 Special Edition Gourmet Single-Cup Home-Brewing System comes with a variety pack of k-cups so you get to try a few samples before you settle on the ones you like. Tea and cocoa are also available in k-cups so if your friends are not coffee drinkers, you can accommodate them without having to change anything but the k-cup.

Zojirushi Carafe Electric Coffee Maker

There are many makes and models of coffee makers available to coffee drinkers today. One of the most popular models for brewing coffee is the Zojirushi EC-DAC50 Zutto 5-Cup Drip Coffeemaker
. This type of coffee maker allows the user to pour water into a container which then heats the water and pours it through a basket which holds the ground coffee. The basket then allows the water to slowly drip and thus brews the coffee.

The coffee then drips from the basket into the carafe which is sitting on a hot plate type warmer. This keeps the coffee at a warm drinking temperature. The trouble with this type of coffee making system is that the coffee sits in the carafe and the coffee becomes bitter. This is because these models continue to slowly cook the coffee.

Zojirushi now makes a Zojirushi EC-DAC50 Zutto 5-Cup Drip Coffeemaker
While it basically uses the same type of system to brew the coffee initially, it stores the coffee in a thermal stainless steel carafe which keeps the coffee warm for hours without “burning” the coffee and changing its taste.

The Zojirushi EC-DAC50 Zutto 5-Cup Drip Coffeemaker
makes and stores up to ten cups of coffee at a time. The Zojirushi EC-DAC50 Zutto 5-Cup Drip Coffeemaker
keeps the coffee at 144 degrees for 10 hours and at 117 degrees for up to 24 hours. Another feature is an electric clock timer. This allows the user to set the coffee to brew at a desired time. It also a pause-to-serve feature so it is convenient for serving while the coffee maker is still brewing.
