How to Use a Percolator

I recently rediscovered how much fun it is making percolator coffee this summer, while on a camping trip. Ever since we returned, the coffee percolator has found a permanent home in the kitchen. It's wonderful to see the coffee perking on the stove, and the whole house permeates with the aroma of freshly brewed coffee.

1 Cup Coffee Maker

If you have not used a percolator to make coffee, you are in for a real treat. The coffee it produces is flavorful, and really hot.

1 Cup Coffee Maker

You will find that there are several different types of coffee making percolators, the most common being the stovetop percolators. Electric percolators are making a real come back as more people are discovering (just like we did!) how good coffee made this way can be.

Whether you are using a stovetop or electric type of coffee maker, the process is still the same, and it's simple to learn how to use a percolator. other than with one you use the stove to heat your water and the other you simply plug into the electric.

Filtered water is the best, because the final outcome of your coffee depends on the water you begin with.

How a percolator works

Percolators are very simple and easy to use types of coffee makers. Boiling water creates a steam pressure that forces the water through the coffee grounds numerous times in order to extract the most flavor from your ground coffee.

Coffee percolators have 3 main sections:

The coffee pot itself, and the lid The stem that draws the water up into the grounds The filter basket and the top lid to the basket

How to make coffee using a percolator

1.) Measure out 1 tablespoons of coarse ground coffee (freshly ground is best) for every cup you plan to brew into the filter basket. The coffee maker will produce better coffee if you perk at least half a pot full, a full pot ensures the best flavor from your efforts. 8 cups will require 8 tablespoons. If you prefer really strong coffee, you may wish to up that by half a tablespoon per cup.

2.) Attach the lid to the filter basket, and then put the stem up through the hole in the middle of the filter basket.

3.) Pour the water into the coffee pot and then place the stem and filter basket right into the coffee pot.

4.) Place the lid on the pot, and either plug it in, or place it on your stove over medium heat, if it is one of the stovetop percolators.

5.) It will take a few minutes, maybe as long as five depending on your coffee maker, but soon you should hear the water boiling in the pot, and then see the coffee perking up in the clear top of the lid.

6.) Once you see the coffee perking in the lid top, set your timer for 3 - 5 minutes, depending upon how strong you prefer your coffee. 3 minutes is usually long enough for a nicely flavored brew, and 5 minutes will add a stronger flavor to your cup of coffee.

7.) After the set amount of time, remove the coffee pot from the heat, and let it sit for a few minutes to settle down.

8.) Using a potholder, carefully remove the lid and take out the filter basket and stem. Replace the lid to keep your coffee hot and it is now ready to serve.

There are few things as cheery as the perking of coffee. This brings to mind visions of our grandmothers sipping coffee as their conversations flowed around the family table.

K-Cup Holder - How to Organize Your Coffee Storage Area

K-Cups Holders come in many sizes ranging from 18 to 35 cup, all the way to 80 K- Cups and beyond. Whatever your K-Cup Storage needs, there's a one that will help you find that little bit of extra organization you're looking for.

1 Cup Coffee Maker

Most K-Cup Holders are fundamentally the same. The common styles are tower, rack, basket, and carousel. A carousel holder has two or more levels and suspends K-Cups in a circle. It is also sometimes referred to as a K-Cup Tree.They allow for up to 35 plus cups to be held at a time depending on which model you choose. Tower Holders have a rectangular shape and stand vertically. Racks are mainly found in businesses and have a K-Cup capacity ranging from 48 to 244 K-Cups and beyond. Baskets are usually two level holders. They're pretty much self explanatory otherwise. Regardless of which type you prefer, it will help you keep your coffee area more organized.

1 Cup Coffee Maker

K-Cup holders can be more than just K-Cup Stroage though, they can be stylish too. Their finishes range from bamboo, to paint, to powder coating, all the way to completely chrome and more. If space is not an issue, take it as an opportunity to reflect your style, but don't forget about capacity. A large family or business may need to forgo style a bit to meet demand.

Before you decide which K-Cup holder will work best for your needs, here are some things to consider.

How many K-Cups are used a day at home or work? If you're at home, multiply this number times 7. If you're at work, multiply this number by the amount of days in your work week? How many different flavors do you keep in stock? This is a factor to consider when you're trying to decide what size holder to purchase. How much available counter space do you have? After figuring out how many K-Cups you use in a week, you may be a little shocked! If you're a little cramped on counter space, a tower or mini carousel may be the best choice for you. If you're not cramped for space, it's going to be more of a style decision for you. Whose task will it be to keep the K-Cups stocked? If it's mainly you, how much time do you have to devote to filling your holder each week? Obviously the smaller it is, the more attention it will need. How much money do you want to spend? A K-Cup Holder can range in price from twenty dollars to around fifty for basic home use Keurig K-Cup Holders. Business size, large capacity holders range from fifty to several hundred dollars.

Listed below are some of the most commonly purchased home holders on the web. As you begin your own research, we recommend looking up these models first.

Black Friday Senseo 7810 Single-Serve Gourmet Coffee Machine, Black Feature

• Single-serve coffeemaker brews up to 8 ounces in less than a minute
• Works with pre-measured sealed coffee pods that come in a variety of flavors
• Simple push-button controls for size selection and power
• No messy grinding or flavor cross-over; dishwasher-safe parts
• Measures 12 by 8-1/2 by 13-1/2 inches; 1-year limited warranty

Black Friday Senseo 7810 Single-Serve Gourmet Coffee Machine, Black Overview

Senseo black single serve coffee appliance has a unique patented pressurized brewing system that brews a fresh cup of coffee in just 30 seconds.

Black Friday Senseo 7810 Single-Serve Gourmet Coffee Machine, Black Specifications

Uniquely designed, this coffeemaker brews a single serving of fresh gourmet coffee at the touch of a button. Because the machine uses premeasured coffee pods, the system is hassle-free, is easy to clean, and guarantees a flavorful, fresh brew each time. Measuring 13-1/2 by 12 by 8-1/2 inches, the coffeemaker is shaped like a curved cylinder with a round base. Two pod holders are included: a shallow holder that holds one coffee pod for one cup, and a deeper filter that holds two pods for two cups (or one 8-ounce mug). After filling the removable reservoir with fresh water to the "max" line, the pods are inserted and the lid locked into place. A simple push of the "on/off" button and either of the one- or two-cup buttons starts the brewing process. Up to five 4-ounce cups can be brewed on one reservoir of water. Cups are not included, but almost any 4-ounce cup or 8-ounce mug will do the trick. All the removable parts--the pod holders, reservoir, coffee spout, plastic drip tray, and metal cup tray--are dishwasher-safe. The coffeemaker carries a 1-year limited warranty and a variety of coffee pods are available separately. Also, Senseo was awarded the ChefsBest award for best performing single-serve coffee appliance. The ChefsBest Award for Performance is awarded to the brand rated highest overall among leading brands by independent professional chefs. --Ann Bieri

From the Manufacturer

The Senseo coffeemaker combines an integrated brewing system from Philips Electronics with high quality coffee pods from Sara Lee’s Douwe Egberts brand, one of Europe’s premiere coffee brands for more than 250 years, to create a perfect cup of coffee. The result of over 7 years of research and development, this coffeemaker brews a consistent, balanced cup of coffee each time with a unique frothy coffee layer. Brewing a sensational cup of fresh, gourmet coffee every time, at the touch of a button, the Senseo is perfect for coffee lovers of all varieties. The Senseo's mild pressure system heats water to 205 degrees fahrenheit in a boiler consistently every time. Via the mild pressure system, the heated water is forced through the machine and is evenly distributed over the pre-measured coffee pod(s.) Exiting through a pinhole in the pod tray, the newly brewed Senseo coffee is projected into the base of the patented "frothing chamber" where it is lightly aerated to produce the frothy coffee layer. The machine brews at 1.2 bars. Espresso machines typically brew at 9 bars or higher and drip brewers do not use pressure. The machine then distributes either individual or double servings of gourmet Senseo coffee simultaneously--the whole process taking on average only 45 seconds.

Easy to Use, Flavorful Results

The Senseo is simple to use--start by filling the handy removable reservoir up to the "max" line. Then, insert the pods you are using, and lock the lid into place. Next, push the "on/off" button and the brewing process begins with either one or two cups. You can brew up to five 4-ounce cups on a single reservoir of water. To make clean up easy, the removable parts, including pod holders, reservoir, coffee spout, plastic drip tray, and metal cup tray, are dishwasher-safe. Senseo offers a varied selection of blends and flavors. In addition to the first four original blends, Mild, Medium, Dark, and Decaffeinated, you can also choose from Paris Vanilla Bistro, Killarney Irish Creamery, Vienna Hazelnut Waltz, Senseo Sumatra, and Senseo Cappuccino. Senseo Cappuccino‘s specially designed pod contains premium coffee with a separate layer of creamer housed in an innovative "honeycomb" to ensure it blends evenly with the coffee. The result is an extra luxurious cappuccino, at the touch of a button, with no extra steps involved.

Senseo Features

• The first single-serve coffee system that delivers a fresh, consistent cup of gourmet coffee in under a minute
• Fast and easy to use
• Brews high-quality, great-tasting premium coffee available in varieties to suit every taste

How To Fix Keurig Coffee Maker Problems

If you have ever researched purchasing a single serve coffee maker you no doubt have discovered the Keurig line of coffee makers. These machines are a wonderful addition to any kitchen and provide a large selection of single cup coffee blends and flavors.

1 Cup Coffee Maker

Keurig coffee makers range from the Keurig B31 Mini Plus Brewer to the Keurig Special Edition B60 Gourmet Single Serve Coffee Maker to the top of the line Keruig Platinum Brewing System. While these are great machines you will soon discover that there are a number of complaints by consumers posted on the internet.

1 Cup Coffee Maker

The most common complaint is that the machine simply quits working after some period of time. For example, reviews on Amazon show that about 10% of purchasers have complaints about the units they received while the remainder of the reviews is very positive, giving the machines an overall satisfaction rating of 4 out of 5 stars.

It appears that most of these disgruntled consumers return their unit for replacement, and in some cases the replacement works no better. However, it appears that the problem may be related more to the quality of tap water used than any other factor.

If you use well water it will be full of a variety of minerals including calcium which can build up within the thin water lines and filter of the Keurig coffee maker. While discouraging the problem can be fixed quite easily, and it may be better to use bottled water which has most of those minerals removed.

If your Keurig coffee maker quits here is how to descale and clean the machine:

Pour undiluted white vinegar into the brewer's reservoir to the fill level mark; Place a coffee cup on the drip tray; Make sure the lid is closed and then run a brew cycle; Pour the contents of the coffee cup back into the water reservoir, run a second brew cycle - HOWEVER, this time turn the machine off as soon as it begins dispensing the liquid into the coffee cup! Let the brewer stand for 30 minutes after disposing of the contents of the coffee cup before continuing; Fill the water reservoir with distilled water and then run another brew cycle into a coffee cup throwing the contents of the coffee cup away; Repeat the previous step until the reservoir is empty.

Once you have accomplished the above you may find that there is a nasty taste to your coffee left behind by the vinegar. In that case you will need to run multiple brew cycles with just distilled water before resuming use of your coffee maker.

In addition to these problems there have been some reports of leaking from the Keurig brewer water reservoir. This is generally caused by a blockage in the filter or water lines which does not allow the water to flow through the coffee maker and into your cup.

Again, the best solution is to thoroughly clean the machine until the leak is stopped and the brewer works properly. As with all mechanical devices your Keurig coffee machine requires periodic maintenance in order to make sure it continues to work properly.

Some Instructions On How To Use Your Espresso Machine

The word espresso literally means an extraction of coffee using high pressure from a special espresso machine. But you may need some special espresso machine instructions if your machine is different from some of the other types of machines are available, but basically to make an espresso is much the same no matter what machine you use.

1 Cup Coffee Maker

Below are some hopefully foolproof instructions, which will help you to make the ideal espresso.

1 Cup Coffee Maker

1. It is important that you have a good quality machine. If you can purchase one that comes with a built in grinder (as the finest ground beans make the best coffee).
2. Get some cold clear water and pour this into the machines water tank. Then make sure that the boilers cap is secure. For one shot of espresso use one ounce of coffee for a double shot use two ounces of coffee. Some machines will give as much as four shots in one go.
3. Place the basket of coffee in the filter holder. If you want you can place a little pack in the ground coffee and the filter has a measure which will tell you the amount for the type of espresso you are preparing.
4. Brush off any grounds from the top and sides of the filter and then place the filter holder inside the machine.
5. Place the glass carafe that comes with your machine under the spout and then turn the machine one. The machine will warm the water up to the correct temperature and then force it into the coffee grounds. This should take between 15 to 20 seconds and as the coffee starts to flow into the cup the foam starts forming on top. This foam is brown in color and is known as Crema but once this foam becomes white in color then the best tasting liquid is not flowing any longer and you should stop the machine now.
6. Remove the cup immediately and your cup of espresso is now ready to drink.

In order to get the best results from your espresso machine you should select beans that are specifically for making espressos. These can be found in many coffee specialty shops as well as your local grocery store. If you want to get the best espressos then I suggest buying an espresso grinder, as this is efficient enough to produce a fine grind for making espressos with. Also use filtered or bottled spring water, as tap water is too hard.

Hopefully by following these espresso machine instructions you will be able to produce that perfect shot of espresso that you always wanted.

The Health Benefits Of Drinking Coffee

You may not know it but the cup of coffee you take every morning with your toast actually does your body a lot of good. And contrary to what you might think, drinking coffee everyday is actually a very healthy habit.

1 Cup Coffee Maker

In 2005, the University of Scranton released the results of a remarkable study showing that coffee is the number one source of anti-oxidants in the American diet. Anti-oxidants are components in your food that serve as your body's defense against many diseases including diabetes, cancer, stroke and other heart diseases. It is known to control free radicals that cause cell damage in the body, slowing down the ageing process and its effects and thereby resulting in a longer life span.

1 Cup Coffee Maker

Some studies have also shown that coffee intake resulted in increased alertness and information processing by as much as 10%. Additional studies show that coffee results in decreased depression, anxiety and generally uplifts the mood of the drinker. So if you are feeling down, downing a cup of coffee might just give you that perk you need.

Still these benefits should not be incentive enough to take too much coffee. Coffee is known to raise blood pressure, so try to spread out your intake throughout the day. Drinking one or two cups of coffee a day is advisable. If you must take a lot of coffee, choose decaf, as the study also shows that both caffeinated and decaffeinated coffee contain the same amount of anti-oxidants. If you have high blood pressure, however, it is best to cut down on your intake.

Enjoy your coffee!

Start Off Each Day With The Best Coffee Beans In An Aromatic Cup Of Coffee

If you are a coffee lover, you will appreciate an aromatic cup of coffee to start off the day each morning as well as a freshly brewed cup of coffee at the end of each long working day. However, in order to get that taste of perfection, you cannot simply consume any coffee, you need the best coffee beans.

So how do you get the best coffee beans for that perfect cup of coffee? Having the best coffee maker is not enough, you must also have the best coffee seeds and to achieve that ideal result, it really depends on how the product is being cultivated.

Yes, you may be surprise but you need good quality soil and great climate in order to grow the best coffee bean. So in that case, which is the most ideal country to grow that perfect coffee seeds then? If you have Brazil in mind, you are correct because it produces the best coffee seeds you can find anywhere but Brazil is not where coffee beans originated from.

You can find coffee seeds cultivated in many other countries besides Brazil but to get the best tasting coffee, you are most likely to buy from Brazil, Columbia, Hawaii, Mexico and Indonesia as these are the countries known to produce the best coffee beans. If you have ever tried the coffee produced by these countries, you probably would never settle for anything else!

Why are these countries so successful in producing the best seeds? Apart from having good quality soil and a great climate, having a suitable altitude is also vital to producing the best results. Brazil is a tropical country, full of sunshine and rain, thus it undoubtedly produces the best and most coffee seeds.

As altitude is important to growing good quality seeds, Columbia should be gaining top spot in best beans produced but unfortunately the country's poor economy is holding it back. Without the necessary infrastructure, it is almost impossible to transport the products down from the mountain top to be exported out of the country.

As for Hawaiian coffee, you are probably right if you have voted for their coffee to be one of the best because they have a conducive environment for production. With large amount of rainfall, hot sun and rich, fertile volcanic ash, you cannot help but get the best products. However, they only produce in small quantities.

Indonesia is another conducive environment for growing coffee seeds because of their humid and improving technologies. As such, they are able to cultivate coffee beans even in remote areas such as Sulawesi and Java.

Ultimately, the key reasons why a country is able to produce the best coffee beans is a result of the environment. A lot of hard work is being put into cultivating these seeds. Now I believe we have a better idea how to choose the ideal seeds when we want to have a freshly brewed cup of coffee at the end of a long working day.
