Re: Coffee Machine Recommendations. Help.

doglvr, thanks for the helpful review of the Breville. I purchased the Cuisinart Grind and Brew a few years ago and it made the best coffee!  It would not work, however, most of the time. It would jam up or clog. I had to return it to BB and B. They are great with returns. The Breville sounds tempting.

I brought one of these machines during the summer. It replaced a old Breville K-cup machine. I found mine on Amazon.  I usually buy coffee on sale from Starbucks,

Re: Coffee Machine Recommendations. Help.

I've had the Ninja Coffee Bar for several months now and really love it.  I've written extensively about it on this forum before if you want to check that out.  I see that it's going to be the TSV this Wednesday.

I love your Cuisinart. 

 

 

 

Why not get a combo machine. Hamilton Beach makes a great one--it has single K cup on one side and a carafe on the other and it's not ridiculously expensive, either. It gets great reviews, has a timer and all that and is under sixty bucks. Winner.

Re: Coffee Machine Recommendations. Help.

Thanks ladies all of these products look good. One of the things my husband was insistant upon was a thermas and not a glass container. The other was that the machine could fresh grind the beans. That limited my choices. 

 

I am very happy with the Breville and like how much easier it is to open the top of the thermas verses the cuinart that was a bear for me.  It does have more features than the cuisinart. So far. So good.

 

 

 

----Worth mentioning-----------------

 

This looks good to me and I have a good friend that works for this company. But I have enough junk on the counter already. I am constantly putting the knife sharpner away and my husband pulls it out.

Sixty Second Pre-Heat Time, Folding Cup Shelf for Varius Cup Sizes, Automatic Programmable Coffee Volume, Froths Cold or Hot Milk it is 144.99 (on sale at Costco).

Re: Coffee Machine Recommendations. Help.

I LOVE my Breville coffee machine. (it's the top brand of Keurig). The warranty is longer on these models. it's easy to program the menu and you have more choices. It also holds a travel mug which was a feature that I really wanted. I also have limited counter space so I didn't want a coffee system that was larger than my other kuerig that is in the family room. The water tank is not removable but it is easy to fill. I'm a big fan of the Breville line and have the microwave and countertop oven as well.

Re: Coffee Machine Recommendations. Help.

I agree I got the 2.0 as a TSV Nov 14. and it works great. I probablly descale more than needed but I think keeping it clean keeps it running longer. Anyway I agree about the carafe, however, I cannot for the life of me find the Larger pods. I know they are probably on Kuerig website, but do you know of a B&M store that sells them?
