Review: Ninja Coffee Bar Single Serve (CF112)

Owl2020-05-09T20:06:54+00:0015 July 2019|Categories: Reviews|Tags: Single serve coffee makers|

This is Ninja Coffee Bar Single Serve (CF112) is a great coffee maker. It offers unparalleled versatility and ease of use. It brews very decent cups of coffee. We put it to a test in this CF112 review. Ninja Coffee Bar Single Serve (CF112) deliver hot, iced and specialty coffee drinks in different sizes. I loved its clean design, useful features and technical specifications. It takes a while to brew, and coffee appears a bit too weak and a bit too cold for me. Not as advanced as newer and more advanced coffee bars from Ninja. At $$$$ price point, it's an okay, but not great price to value.

Review: Bialetti Moka Express (6 cup)

Owl2019-10-26T17:56:55+00:0013 July 2019|Categories: Reviews|

Similar to a 3-cup Moka, Bialetti Moka Express (6 cup) is a great example of another no-plastic coffee brewer. It offers quite amazing flexibility in coffee brewing. We have found it sell for an average of about $30, which is just a tad more expensive than a 3-cup Moka Express, but brews 2X more coffee. It’s also made primarily of aluminium (alas). It involves some manual work in brewing, and is overall very easy and convenient to use. Overall, we were quite WOWed 😮, but also found a couple of weaknesses of this product. Find out more.

Bialetti Moka Express (3 cup) is a great example of a no-plastic coffee brewer, which offers unparalleled flexibility and ownership in the brewing process. For an average of $28, I find this Bialetti 3 cup percolator to be a very strong proposition. It can brew delicious, rich and fragrant coffee. It’s made primarily of aluminium (alas). It involves some manual work in brewing, and is overall very easy and convenient to use. Overall, we were quite WOWed 😮, but also found a couple of weaknesses of this product. Find out more.

Review: Breville Nespresso Creatista Plus

Owl2020-05-09T20:07:04+00:0011 July 2019|Categories: Reviews|Tags: Nespresso machines|

Nespresso Creatista Plus is an elegant espresso machine. Though similar to Nespresso Creatista, which we reviewed earlier this month, Creatista Plus is just tiny more advanced. Creatista Plus has a few more froth texture levels, a few more milk temperature options, some body style differences, shorter heat up temperature, and, obviously, higher price. In my opinion, the difference between Creatista and Creatista Plus is too minor to pay substantially more for Creatista Plus. Though it is a nice espresso machine, I feel that...

Keurig K Elite Review

Owl2020-05-09T20:08:31+00:0018 June 2019|Categories: Reviews|Tags: Single serve coffee makers|

K-Elite is an excellent single serve coffee maker with a very strong feature set. It is a great choice for singles and families who enjoy deep fragrant coffee. Offers a wide variety of types of coffee. I personally don't like that it is primarily plastic, and Keurig does not seem transparent about the chemicals and materials used in manufacturing. Though K-Elite may seem a little bit expensive, I find the price-to-value ratio of this single serve coffee maker to be strong.

Mr Coffee Cafe Barista review: a versatile espresso machine for many users

Owl2020-06-12T01:28:53+00:0017 June 2019|Categories: Reviews|Tags: Espresso machines|

Mr. Coffee Cafe Barista Espresso Maker is a great entry-level espresso machine with a modern design. It’s multi-functional. Brews delicious espresso, cappuccino and latte at the touch of a button, and frothing milk all by itself. Though Cafe Barista is not a high-end espresso machines, it does a pretty good job and pulls decent coffee. The machine has a body that is mainly plastic, with a few brushed metal accents. Comes at a medium price tag. In my opinion, it’s price-to-value is very strong.
