Bialetti 6799 Moka Express 3-Cup Stovetop Espresso Maker

I bought this and the 1 cup Bialetti. I followed the instructions and threw away the first 3 batches of coffee. I then got to enjoy my first cup made on the stove and it was fantastic! The 1 cup is small enough for me to have a late afternoon coffee and the 3 cup makes a triple shot espresso that I have in the morning. It is fast and easy! I like to lift the lid and watch the coffee come up! I am debating whether of not to get a larger Bialetti for use if I have guests. But that is another topic. This is worth the little money I spent and I know I will enjoy this for a long time.

Bialetti 6800 Moka Express 6-Cup Stovetop Espresso Maker

Works great on the stovetop, works great when you're CAMPING..!!! No plugs, no cords, no nonsense -- fill the lower half with water to the indicated mark, put your grounds in the upper basket, join the two halves, wait for it to gurgle and you have EXCEPTIONALLY DELICIOUS espresso the way it ought to be made. The device is simple and beautifully made. I'd recommend the six-cup version, the smaller versions just don't make very much espresso -- I mean, get the six-cup version if there are two of you, since that will make an adequate amount.Really a brilliant product. I wish that everything was so well-designed and robust. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

Capresso Infinity Conical Burr Grinders

I've been through a couple of burr grinders - the Gaggia MM and a Melitta, so when it came time to buy a new one, I knew what I didn't want - a noisy, dusty grinder that wears out quickly. I've pretty much found it with the Capresso Infinity. I did some reading, and depending on what you need, it's amazing how much you can spend for a burr grinder - they range up to $400 and beyond. The main features I was interested in, though, were available in the sub-$200 range. I am pleased with the purchase. The "extra fine" settings will create a fine powder that is too fine for my machine. However, once I switched to the "fine" setting, it has worked great. The amazing extra benefit is how much better the coffee tastes - the fine, even grind makes for maximum flavor extraction. So matter what grinder you buy, go for one that grinds more evenly - you'll enjoy your coffee even more. For the price, I didn't find one that had the combination of features (and less noise and dust!) found in the Capresso Infin

Technivorm Moccamaster Coffee Brewer With Thermo Carafe

Technivorm Moccamaster Coffee Brewer With Thermo Carafe - Technivorm 9587

I am a real coffee snob and have gone through at least 10 coffee makers and finally found this one. Was a three month wait to get it and finally got it. Makes great coffee and come out very hot. Brews very quickly. Don't like the carafe that comes with it. Got a Nissan -Thermos to keep it hot. Everyone who tries my coffee always asks what coffee I use. It not only the coffee but the maker also. Get this, it is expensive but well worth it for those who enjoy coffee.

KitchenAid 7-oz. Pro Line Burr Coffee Grinder, Onyx Black.

This is an excellent coffee grinder. It has a powerful, yet quiet motor and the grind selection dial is robust. The straight, vertical path of beans through the grinder makes it very trouble free. The only downsides are it is big, heavy and takes up a fair amount of counter space. This is a serious grinder, but it makes seriously good coffee.

Bodum Bistro Electric Burr Coffee Grinder, White

This grinder replaced my Capresso burr grinder. This Bodum is much, much better. It has a much more consistent particle size. The hopper is generous and can be removed for easy cleaning (good coffee beans are naturally oily). The best part is the glass receptacle, though. It's much less messy than the plastic Capresso. It doesn't have any corners that can trap grounds, and it doesn't have a static cling effect that always resulted in stray coffee grinds on my counter.

KitchenAid Pro Line Series Burr Coffee Mill

KitchenAid Pro Line Series Burr Coffee Mill, Onyx Black

After over two year's use (pretty much daily)this grinder continues to be a superior product. No problems whatsoever. I continue to be impressed with the quality of the grind 1/2 cup beans at 5 1/2 setting for medium roast beans and a 12 cup pot.
I especially like the pyrex carafe and metal toggle switch as opposed to the plastic ones in lower end grinder models we previously owned.

Breville BCG800XL Smart Grinder

This is my 2nd conical burr grinder. I used the earlier Breville grinder BCG450XL for a year, and while it gave me reliable daily service, it sure made a mess when removing the grinds container. Breville appears to have listened to its customers and totally redesigned this grinder. The grinds container is a sturdier translucent plastic with a stainless steel lid that seems to have solved the grinds sticking to the lid. There is absolutely no grinds scattering! The bean hopper holds 1 pound which is the size of freshly roasted beans I purchase at the local coffee shop. The ability to choose the size grinds and the amount is just outstanding.

Kyocera Ceramic Coffee Grinder

I really like my new Kyocera hand grinder. I wanted to graduate up to a conical burr coffee grinder but was overwhelmed and confused by all of the mixed reviews for most of the electric models. They are also quite expensive, and since I am the only coffee drinker in the house, I couldn't justify spending upwards of $100-$150 dollars (minimum) for just 2 or 3 cups a day.

Krups 203 Electric Coffee and Spice Grinder

Krups 203 Electric Coffee and Spice Grinder with Stainless-Steel Blades

This is an excellent grinder for home use and the one that I use on a daily basis. It is relatively quiet (so I can grind my beans in the morning without waking the kids) and large enough to process 8 or so cups (a full pot) of coffee. The only downside is that you have to practice the knack of when to stop grinding due to the lack of coarse control, but it makes up for it with ease of use. In my mind the quietness, ease of use and ease of cleaning (the black model is easier to clean than white) make this a must-have for coffee lovers.
