Coffee often times gets its name for the region in which the beans are grown; Blue Jamaican Coffee, for example. Sometimes, though, coffee is named for the country or area that brews it; Turkish coffee, Italian coffee, etc. Coffees are varied, and so are the methods used for brewing it.

Turkish Briki: The coffee that is used in the Briki is powdered. It takes between 7 and 11 minutes to make a cup of coffee using the Briki. The coffee is very strong but clear.

Starbucks Coffees 2-lb. Extra Bold Whole Bean Coffee, Italian Roast This sturdy Latin American blend is less complex than Espresso Roast and not as intensely smoky as French Roast. Nonetheless, it’s a potent, bold cup of coffee More about this coffee: Italian Roast is the coffee flavor found in Frappuccino blended beverages containing coffee.

Espresso Machine: Very fine coffee grounds are used in an espresso machine. It takes between 12 and 17 minutes to make 5 cups (4 oz) of coffee using an espresso machine. The coffee is very strong and muddy.

French Press Plunger: This coffee pot does not use any paper or cloth filter so there will be grinds and a white powder in the finished coffee. It takes between 5 and 8 minutes to brew 4 cups of coffee. Either regular or coarse ground coffee is used in a French press plunger.

Automatic Drip Coffee Maker: The coffee that is made in an automatic drip coffee maker is not as hot. It is clear, though. Fine ground coffee is most often used in automatic drip coffee makers. It takes between 6 and 10 minutes to make 6 cups of coffee using an automatic drip coffee maker.

If you are considering buying a new automatic coffee maker and you haven’t bought one in awhile, you are going to find a lot more choices that you ever dreamed were possible.

The first thing that you need to decide about your new automotive coffee maker is what kind of automatic coffee maker you want. Do you want an automatic drip coffee maker or a percolator? (One drips water through coffee grounds, while the other forces heated water up a spout and over the coffee grounds.) Drip coffee and perked coffee are two entirely different tastes.
How much coffee do you drink? The next decision is what size automatic coffee maker will best serve your needs. If you are the only coffee drinker in the household, then you only need a very small coffee maker. One that makes a total of four cups will probably be adequate. However, if there are several people who drink coffee, or if you entertain regularly and serve coffee, you may need a larger coffee maker. Liz and I have no problem going through a full, very full pot of coffee in the morning.

The next decision that you must make are the features of a coffee maker that are important to you. You can find coffee makers that have more controls than NASA. You will need to determine which features are important, and which ones are not of any value to you. Remember that each added feature adds to the cost. Have you ever been to a Starbuck’s….the choice of coffee makers is overwhelming, but take a minute and talk to some of the attendants, find a manager and ask him what makes each coffee maker different.

After talking to a knowledgable person in a good coffee shop, like Starbucks, you might decide you want the best cup of coffee possible and spend the $200….life is short and coffee is good…..I say go for it, get the best and enjoy life. It may be a lot of money for you, but don’t eat for a week
The price of coffee makers range between $20 and $200. It is important to buy one that is large enough, but it is just as important that you don’t buy one that is larger than you need.

If you love coffee like me, I hope you follow what I will be talking about, things like coffee recipes, how to make the best coffee, where to find good coffee….did you know you can buy great coffee online. Anyway, stay tuned and watch for the new recipe book I have….recipes concocted from starbucks employees….they may not be exact but they are darn close and some of the best coffee that’s ever passed my lips.

See ya in another day or two
