Beyond Coffee Grinders


Capresso Infinity Burr GrinderCoffee fanatics will do just about anything to get the perfect cup of coffee – they buy all sorts of fancy coffee storage devices, coffee grinders,    filters and sophisticated and often complicated coffee makers in an effort to craft the ultimate cup of coffee each and every time. Over the years there have been almost as many ways to make coffee as there are coffee beans – stove top percolators were replaced by electric percolators followed by drip coffee makers and then electric drip coffee makers plus there was the popular French press along with more esoteric devices such as the Chemex coffee maker; despite all of the many options it still was not easy to brew a great cup of coffee on a consistent basis.

The coffee situation took a great leap forward with the advent of the single serve or on demand brewing system – this method virtually guarantees a fresh, hot and flavorful cup of coffee each and every time and it is not only fast and easy, it is both convenient and cost effective. On demand brewing systems brew one cup of coffee at a time, directly into your cup, glass or mug so there is no coffee pot to clean and no warming plate to scorch the coffee. Waste is eliminated because you brew only what you need and not a single drop more.

On demand brewing systems use individually sealed premeasured coffee pods,   capsules or other formats of coffee insert; simply position your mug under the brewing port, select a coffee insert and press a button. The machine does all the work and brews a cup of coffee in under a minute.

Traveling Virtually

During our recent getaway, I experienced riding a ferryboat for the first time. We took a ride in it twice instead of taking the monorail transit. Both the kids and adults had so much fun!  I grew up in a coastal area and I rode on a boat   most of the  times but I never tried to ride on a ferry boat, that's why I was so happy to experienced it with my family and friends.
It is nice to have a getaway once in a while but for  an average family like us, we could only do so when  we have  an extra savings for it.  I don't how many years before my family could go for a big  getaway again  but I hope that it could still happen.    For now, I would just be contented in traveling virtually with  all the  travel site available online.
