No need to wrestle with this coffeemaker

Reaching for a second cup of coffee (or third...) never requires much effort. However, making a second pot of coffee usually is a much more complicated affair, and no, it's not just because of the jitters. Traditional drip coffeemakers are necessarily somewhat bulky as they have an onboard reservoir system. Water goes in one place and comes out coffee in another.

We use it without a second thought (except when the bill comes), and enjoy the benefits of having the choice between hot and cold by easily directing the handle of the faucet one way or the other. But when it comes to hot water, sometimes hot simply isn't hot enough.

It's not a brrr grinder, it's a burr grinder

There's no better time than in the dead of winter to enjoy a hot cup of coffee, and any coffee purist will tell you that freshly ground beans taste a lot better.

But I like to take advantage of every second of sleep I can possibly get in the morning before going to work. The thought of pulling out a bag of whole bean coffee and a measuring spoon has thus far been enough to send me with my pocket change to the coffee shop down the street. In any case, it seems like every time I attempt freshly … Read more
