Squirt-gun Coffee Table - Battle for Coffee Island
The Squirt Gun Coffee table comes with an entire set of squirt guns, so if someone's looking to spill your coffee - you'll be right there squirting. We're not sure how much weight this $350 table can take, so we'd use it for shelter instead of leaping on top with guns a blaring.
What's the Best Nespresso Capsule? Single Serve Espresso Knows
We get this question all the time as well here at Single Serve Coffee, but leave it to Scott over at Single Serve Espresso to give an amazing answer. We too prefer the richer Ristrettos, but also like the light Cosi from time to time. From Scott:
I get this question all the time, which capsule is best, and what should I be drinking? I think the best thing that Nespresso does is to include the full assortment with each machine so you get to try them and see what types of flavors are out there and which capsules you'll end up loving with your machine. The only thing better would be to include two of each! (I turned my sample holder into my capsule holder inside the cabinet door)

Drink Selector Mug Ensures Perfect Single Serve Coffee in Every Cup
The mug features three different rotating bands that will unveil your drink preferences to you, your spouse, or whoever is seeing or refilling said coffee cup. The top band determines whether coffee or tea is your preference, and we know it's coffee - come on! The middle band determines the the milk preference, and the bottom band determines the sugar preference. The Drink Selector Mug is available for $24, and should ensure you don't get a bad refill or first fill of single serve coffee every morning. It might even be a good way to remind those of us who wake up hard what we should put in our coffee.
Coffee Pod and K Cup Trash Can - Clean Up Your Single Serve Coffee Mess
Standing just over 7 inches tall, this mini trash can works great on a desktop or kitchen countertop for those everyday smaller items such as wet coffee pods or K Cups. We use ours to store up our K Cups or coffee pods, what we either compost, or sprinkle into the house plants.The trash can offers a 2/5-gallon capacity, and its swing-open lid helps keep contents hidden and odors contained. The unit's lined interior means there's no need to add a plastic bag, just wipe clean as needed.
Our Canadian correspondent S.H. has a another insightful review of Canadian T-Discs for Tassimo...
Nabob has 3 different espresso-based T-Disc flavors on the Canadian market... Espresso, Latte & Cappuccino. The 2 latter varieties both use the same espresso disc I'm reviewing here today with the only difference being the milk discs they include in their packaging. I'll have a review of the Nabob Latte T-Disc soon, but for now I wanted to start off with the most basic of the 3 selections.
One thing which seems to be consistent with Nabob's coffee has been to "expect the unexpected" (maybe they should use that as their new slogan?). Their Café Crema T-Disc surprised me with its mellow taste and bittersweet finish, so much so that I thought it compared well with their 100% Columbian in these regards. I figured to expect the same from their Espresso but once again, I had a unique experience awaiting me.
Bottomless Coffee Table - Get Vertigo While Drinking Coffee
The Bottomless Coffee Table will either produce vertigo in most single serve coffee drinkers, or a sense their cup of coffee goes on forever and ever. Swedish design firm Offecct has created this illusion by using two-way"spy glass" as well as an additional pane of mirrored glass on a lower shelf. With these two pieces of old school technology perfectly aligned the table offers an illusion of bottomless depth. And you know that vertigo we were talking about, it also happens to be the name of the coffee table.
Review: Keurig Mini B30 K-Cup Single Serve Coffee Maker
The Keurig Mini B30 will come in white, black, and red.
Keurig recently introduced the Keurig B130 commercial hotel and office coffee brewer, and we were disappointed it would not be available for consumers to purchase. We are disappointed no longer, as Keurig has revealed the Keurig Mini B30 designed for home and commercial use. The Keurig Mini B30 is very much like the Keurig B130, but it comes in red, black, and white colored casings, and also is My K Cup compatible.
We received a red Keurig Mini B30 - can you say hot!
Besides having the smallest footprint of all the Keurig brewers, the Keurig Mini B30 single serve coffee maker is also very quiet. And yes - it's compatible with all K Cup coffees, teas, and other hot beverages including hot cocoa. So are there any issues? Is this brewer priced at $79 for everyone, or should one purchase a larger Keurig brewer?
Is soy coffee any good? Right now we have no idea, but just came upon it the other day, and found the proposition interesting. Apparently the "coffee" produced is both mild and of course organic - that's if you're looking for a coffee alternative. We're gong to try and track some down in the next few weeks, and get a cup or two brewing in the Keurig and Bunn My Cafe.
Have you tried soy coffee? Is it any good? Sound off in the comments and let us know. Also is soy coffee supposed to be soycoffee or soyfee? And what's so different about their french press in the video below? It's all so confusing.
Godiva Crème Brulee Coffee - Single Serve Coffee Pods
The Godiva Crème Brulee Coffee Single Serve Coffee Pods for Senseo and other single serve coffee pod brewers are available now for preorder and will ship by August 15th. They are packed in 3 - 16 count coffee pod bags. We expect these coffee pods to weigh in per pod at 7 grams each.
So how hot is the brew temperature exactly? With a K Cup in the brewer you get a coffee exit temperature from the brew head of 187 F, and with no K Cup in the Keurig Mini B30 brewer you get a solid 192 F to 193.5 F.
We'll have a full review soon of the Keurig Mini B30, but we thought we'd clear up this misconception before we post our final review.
Internet-connected Single Serve Coffee Maker has Security Issues
The Jura F90 Super-automatic espresso and coffee maker
can be hacked because the espresso machine can be accessed via the internet
for diagnostics and setting up the espresso machine.
We truly live in modern times when your single serve coffee maker can be connected online and hacked to make weak coffee. We've reviewed other models that didn't have the ability to be connected, but think it's pretty wild this $2,000 Jura F90 coffee maker can be connected to the Internet for remote control of the settings and be hacked. This can open up your PC to remote attacks, a security expert says. Once connected to the Internet the Jura F90 lets you set the strength of your espresso or coffee and get remote diagnostic info over the internet that would be used to send to the company if there's a problem.
"I don't know if many people would target this particular vulnerability because there probably are not a lot of coffee makers at the moment that are Internet-connected, and in my case it's behind a firewall," the owner who found the issue said.
With internet enabled kitchen devices becoming more widely available, expect more security issues in the future. We think having someone hack your single serve coffee maker isn't the end of the world, but perhaps we'll keep our larger appliance like the oven disconnected.
Top 10 Best Selling Single Serve Coffee Makers - June 2008
It's the middle of June, and time to sound off the 10 best selling single serve coffee makers here at Single Serve Coffee. You can see the Aeropress with all it's manual pressing is still a big seller, followed by Keurig,taking over the 2-4 spots this month. Tassimo is up a notch from May over Senseo.
We wanted to let you know of a machine that's more espresso than single serve coffee - the new Capresso 302.01 Mini-S 4-Cup Safety Espresso/Cappuccino Machine. Single Serve Espresso recently did a review of the little wonder and really liked it, and it's starting to sell out all over the internet.
Do you think these coffee makers represent the best selling or the best? What single serve coffee makers do you think should make a best of list regardless of sales? Sound off in the comments and let us know.
Cuisinart Single Cup Coffee Pods Arrive for Review
We've just received a sampler pack of the Cuisinart Single Cup Coffee Pods in both regular and decaf. These coffee pods are from a European dark roast coffee, and each pre-portioned coffee pod weighs in at 9 grams.
That's right folks - wake up and just smell the single serve coffee, because you don't even need to drink it to get the effects of what it has to offer. An international group of scientists (we're hoping single serve coffee scientists) reports inhaling the rich, warm aroma of a hot cup of coffee alters the activity of genes in the brain, reducing the effects of sleep deprivation with no drinking required.
We like drinking our single serve coffee, but we do always notice how much the aroma of an extra bold or extra dark cup of coffee picks us up sans drinking. Perhaps coffee snuff is not too far off?
