www.singleservecoffee.com for reviews, discussions, etc.

Personally, I wouldn't buy any of these one-shot coffee makers. I really
like the enhanced aroma of freshly ground coffee -- no pre-ground coffee
(in packets or otherwise) for me.

Never heard of em, but they sound expensive.

My Mr. Coffee does just fine.

OK, lemme know how pouring hot water through coffee grounds is rocket
science. The coffee is more important than the thingy that pours the
hot water. IMO.

My coffee: Community Dark Roast (whole bean)

If it's all so simple, tell us how to make espresso by just pouring
water through coffee with a simple Mr. Coffee?

The question referred to: "coffee brewing systems."
If it axed about "espresso makers," I wouldda kept my opinions to
myself.

Last time I checked, espresso is coffee. And at least the Tassimo,
the only one I'm familiar with, will make espresso.

As for the coffee being more important than the brewing system, I would
agree with that. However, that doesn't mean that all brew systems
produce equal quality coffee. Most serious coffee folks swear by using
a French press. And personally, I think they do make a better cup of
coffee than you can get out of a std drip coffee maker.

Right, and I think that if they were interested in espresso, they
would have said.

But, you had to jump in and show how elite your taste is by bringing
up espresso.

Sheesh!

I don't think it's elite to think that someone considering high end
brewing machines, many of which can make a variety of coffee beverages,
would be interested in espresso. If you think espresso is elite, you
obviously won't know much about high end brew systems. Maybe you
should stick to instant coffee.

So that's how it is?
Either espresso or instant.

I bet yer one of those who thinks only cavemen drink blended Scotch.

(Don't give a **** about "high-end brew systems.")

Then why do you start commenting in a thread asking a question about 3
of them? Are you like that other fellow with the same initials that
has to have his way and stick his nose in places it doesn't belong?

Where did he say "high-end"?

He said single-cup systems.

Those are anything but "high-end".

For the most part they use very ordinary coffee, likely stale.

What is "high-end" about any of that?


Like everything else, it's defined as high-end by price. These systems
sell for $169-200+, when you can buy a Mr. Coffee for $25




It's the latest coffee fad,
but, unless you like Folger's supermarket coffee, you would NOT find
them to be "high-end".
