You may remember our review of the Nespresso Essenza C90 in 2005, and you may even remember how much we loved this amazing little espresso and single serve coffee machine. What does the new Nespresso C100T Essenza Single-Serve Automatic Espresso Machine offer over it’s older sibling and what’s the same? In a nut shell - the Nespresso C100T Essenza Single-Serve Automatic Espresso Machine is a really nice update to an already great Nespresso machine. The price point is a bit higher than the older model, but this is a very affordable Nespresso machine at just over $220 in most places online and offline, and the new features are worth the extra money.

Quality espresso, cappuccino, latte and coffee cups can add enjoyment and anticipation to any brewing experience. You can create the feel of an old world cafe right in your kitchen with traditional thick-walled style cups and saucers, or enjoy the modern advantages of double-walled insulated glass cups to keep your brew hot longer.
Espresso or “demitasse” cups are typically sized between 2-3 oz. for those who enjoy espresso straight or possibly with a little sugar or cream cap. Read the rest of this entry »

Drip, or filtered, coffee can be made in electric drip coffeepots or simply by placing a filter holder over a pot or cup.
Things You’ll Need:
* Ground Coffees
* Coffee Cups Or Mugs
* Coffee Filters
* Coffee Makers
* Coffeepots
* Tablespoons
* Teaspoons
Using an Electric Drip Coffeepot
1. Fill the coffeemaker’s carafe with fresh, cold water.
2. Place a filter in the coffeemaker’s filter basket.
3. 2 tbsp. coffee for every 6 oz. of water. (Sometimes the cups marked out on the carafe are more than 6 oz., so check your coffeemaker’s instructions to see.)
4. Pour the water into the coffeemaker’s reservoir and place the carafe on its base.
5. Turn the coffeemaker on. Using a Filter Holder (Manual Method)
1. Boil water, then let it rest for a few minutes to achieve the optimum temperature (195 to 205 degrees F).
2. Place a filter holder over a coffeepot or cup.
3. Place a filter in the holder.
4. Add 2 level tbsp. ground coffee per 6 oz. of water, or 2 oz. coffee per quart of water.
5. Pour a small amount of water - about 3 tbsp. - over the grounds to wet them.
6. Wait a few seconds for the grounds to expand.
7. Pour the rest of the water over the grounds. Let the water drip through the grounds, but be sure to remove the grounds before the last of the water has drained into the pot or cup. Coffee grounds can overextract and get a bitter taste.
Tips & Warnings
* Make sure you have the right size and shape of filter for your pot: either a cone-shaped filter or a flat-bottomed filter.
* Filter holders are available in a wide range of sizes.
* Keep the coffee warm on a burner or hot plate for no more than 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, coffee becomes bitter. Reheating coffee increases its bitterness and is not recommended.
