Wash all the removable parts thoroughly in the dishwasher or by hand with soapy water. Coffee can leave behind an oily residue that builds up over time and gives a bad taste to your beverage. While you are getting two appliances in one, the SS-15 does cost twice as much as and take up more counter space than most single-function brewers. Before you shell out big bucks and clear counter space, make sure you really need the double functionality.
The Flexbrew, however, boasts a third way to brew using a reusable filter cup on the single serve side. If you’re going to brew Cuisinart Coffee one cup at a time, using this little gadget is your best bet. You can use your favorite coffee beans and grind them fresh.
According to a Secura representative, the small hole on the interior allows steam to reach the bottom interior of the unit, where the temperature control is located. We found, however, that cleaning in between the walls of the kettle would be impossible, so we dismissed this model. We appreciated the reasonable price, intuitive controls, and clearly labeled temperature settings of the Willow & Everett Electric Gooseneck Kettle.
We used an AI tool to analyze thousands of customer reviews, eliminating any kettles with higher-than-average premature failure rates. We’ve also tested some of our picks for years, and many long-term testers report on the dependability and convenience of their Cuisinart PerfecTemp kettles. We tested eight new kettles, and the Cuisinart CPK-17 PerfecTemp still came out on top.
Coffee or tea, hot or cold, serve your brew up in style when you shop coffee mugs and cup and saucer sets that give your brew the presentation it deserves. If you’re limited by space or don’t need to brew more than a few servings of coffee at once, this brewer from Krups is arguably the best 5-cup coffee maker you can find. It has a simple on/off button to start brewing or power down the machine, a warming plate, and pause-brew capabilities, so you can pour a cup of coffee before the full pot is ready. The machine’s water reservoir is easy to access via the wide lid, and a permanent filter makes purchasing paper filters optional. Like the Mr. Coffee, this is a simple pick that doesn’t have any involved features like a scheduling setting or a bold-brew mode, but it’s easy and perfect for small volumes. For single-serve machines, our engineers evaluate the temperature and size consistency of individual cups of coffee.
The coffee maker has an LCD display that allows you to choose the grind setting, grind time and number of cups to make. There are eight strength settings, along with the option to use pre-ground coffee for those times you don’t have whole beans on hand. This sleek coffee maker from OXO is decked out with high-tech features to help you make a better cup of coffee.
Heck, Cuisinart even throws in a few samples for good measure. Putting a paper filter in the reusable one will most definitely cause the brew basket to overflow. There’s also a removable drip tray to fit your travel Cuisinart Coffee cup under the brew head or easily clean up any accidents. Which of these you prefer to use is a matter of personal taste, but if excellent tasting coffee is your priority, opt for coffee grounds over K Cups.
But the biggest problem was that after boiling, the water had a slight plastic taste and smell. The KitchenAid KEK1722 Electric Kettle was a runner-up pick previously, but after long-term testing, we were beyond irritated by its excessive Keurig K-Mini beeping. Also, the kettle always defaults to Celsius; for Fahrenheit temperatures, you have to change the settings every time you use it. For our 2022 update, we repeated the boil speed tests , as well as the temperature accuracy tests.
