I was talking about the AeroPress coffee maker to one of my co-workers yesterday. He asked me how I got the water as close to 200° F without boiling the water. I told him about my Upton Tea variable temperature electric water kettle, and scurried off to send him a link. I was aghast to [...]
I review the Keurig B-40 Elite Gourmet Single-Cup Coffee Brewing System. It might be a good choice for you if you only want one or two cups of coffee at a time, but a good coffee machine and thermal carafe are a more economical — and ecologically friendly — choice.
