Review: Melitta One:One Coffee Pod Brewer

The folks at Melitta sent us a red (we called it the Ferrari for the two weeks we tested it) One:One. I have to admit - even though my first single serve machine was a Senseo, the Melitta was in the US market before it.

Bodum Expresso Machine at Apartment Therapy

We covered this earlier - but this new picture and shot really shows the beauty of this Bodum expresso maker.

"Sticker & caffeine shock. Espresso machines are never truly cheap, and this new one from Bodum doesn't buck the trend, but it does do a few things that others don't. First of all it is SMALLISH, second of all it is SHINY & CUTE, and third of all it has a REALLY COOL water system that is much easier than other machines to fill up (it fills up with a regular bottle of Evian or Poland Spring....). $499 at the Bodum Store (212.367.9125) or online.

Tassimo Site Launches

The Tassimo site in English and French has launched finally. Looks like it makes a perfect cup of expresso, hot tea, coffee - you name it - maybe even chicken soup!!!

It uses a cup system - like the Keurig - but of course different as the Keurig is patented. There is no information on where to buy it - or when it's available unless I'm not smart enough to find it on the web site.

It also appears in the picture that Braun is making main brewer - with Kraft making the cups.

Does anyone else know any details?

Bunn Jumping Into Single Serve Coffee with My Cafe

Bunn is jumping into the Single Serve Coffee craze with their My Cafe Professional grade brewer for coffee and tea. I would assume this will use a similiar pod system like Melitta or the Senseo - however - they do claim "professional grade" - and this makes me think there may be more to this machine than meets the eye.

Tribest Personal Iced Single Serve Coffee Maker???

Well - okay. It doesn't make coffee - but having a personal blender would make for a pretty nice cup of iced or mocha java frappe for the summer don't you think? We try to think outside the box us Single Serve Cofee drinkers and Tribest might just keep us doing that!

Making a Cup of Senseo Coffee

Brewing a cup of Senseo coffee is pretty darn easy. You simply fill up the water, put in the pods, put the cup under the spout, and push the brew button. But - what does that coffee look like? I brewed a nice cup of dark roast coffee for you to see the color and body of the coffee, the froth, and then the final mixed cup of cream and sugar. You'll quickly see that even after the cup is brewed the froth is very rich and thick. Each of the thumbnails below holds a small avi video clip. I apologize in advance for the first two not being rotated properly - but we're on a budget at Single Serve Coffee.com. :-) You'll need Quicktime from Apple or Windows Media Player.

Toddy Cold Brew Coffee System

This looks like a cross between a coffee press and a single serve coffee nightmare. Has anyone used this thing?

"The Toddy brewer produces a low acid, espresso-like concentrate - good for about 32 cups of HOT coffee per batch. Just add water for a distinctively fresh, smooth taste that has delighted connoisseurs for some 40 years. And, refrigerated, there's no waste - Toddy can be made one cup at a time."

Tassimo from Kraft

Kraft has a very unique looking entry into the Single Serve Coffee market. Tassimo makes tea, coffee, and espresso. Don't expect Tassimo in the US anytime soon - it's rolling out in France first.

"With Tassimo, your wish will be granted in seconds...whether it is an exquisite espresso, an indulgent cappuccino, even a gentle cup of tea or a rich hot chocolate - all using quality brands that you know and love. Whatever you wish for, the Tassimo hot beverage system makes it simply perfect...at the touch of a button."
