Coffee Tumblers - Why You Can't Live Without One

!±8± Coffee Tumblers - Why You Can't Live Without One

Some people, like me, cannot begin the day without coffee.

If your day basically starts with your commute to work, then taking your coffee with you in the car is a likely option, particularly if you have a coffee mug designed for this purpose. Coffee mugs which are used in cars are often shaped to be more stable, with a wider bottom, or they are designed to fit neatly into the drink tray of a car.

Take-out coffee cups are also designed to fit into your car's drink tray, and, hopefully, the cup comes with an insulting extra layer, so you don't risk burning yourself.

Additionally, you should have a lid properly placed on any coffee cup which will ride with you in your car, since a sudden move could force the liquid to overflow.

Most people prefer to drink their coffee hot, or at least warm, so if your commute is rather long, you might choose to take your coffee in an insulated mug or thermos, which will not let your coffee get cold. Many insulated mugs are built to be very sturdy, and have special mouth pieces, just in case they are dropped. These are often called tumblers precisely for that reason. The good news is that if you drop a coffee tumbler, and you have closed the lid correctly, you will not spill hot coffee on yourself or on your car seat. And probably save yourself thousands in insurance and hospital bills

Insulated travel mugs and thermoses can also be used to keep drinks cold. On scalding days, when you're stuck in a traffic jam, it is a real relief to take sip of a cold drink. Also, the temperature inside a vehicle can rise to be dangerously high if the car is parked in the sunshine. A thermos or insulated mug will keep your water or cool drink at a refreshing temperature.

One of the advantages of a well designed travel mug, is that they are often lined with a non-slip surface, so that the cup does not slip out of your hand or out of the cup holder. Some particularly well designed liquid containers are very stable, with a weighted bottom, and some other features like ergonomic handles and mouth pieces. While you are driving, always use only a coffee mug or cup which is appropriate for this purpose. This way, you will protect yourself and your vehicle, and avoid accidents.

Which is For You - The Senseo Supreme Or the Keurig Special Edition?

!±8± Which is For You - The Senseo Supreme Or the Keurig Special Edition?

 Single cup coffee brewing systems have become increasingly popular and there is quite a large variety of different models. In fact, you'll need a spreadsheet when you try to evaluate the different features of each brand. The most important consideration should be the quality of that single cup of coffee that the machine can produce in less than a minute.  As you look at different brewing systems, ask what the machine brews to produce that cup of coffee. Does it use coffee packaged in pods, in capsules or K-Cups? Some one cup machines only have limited options when it comes to coffee choices while others offer a broad variety of roasts. How do costs compare, not only for the machine, but for the pods or K-Cups? For some coffee lovers, the coffee cost is really not as important as the taste and quality of the cup that is brewed. Compare the features of these two single cup coffee brewers, priced 9.99 to 9.99.

Coffee Pods And K-Cups

The Senseo uses coffee pods, small packages of coffee, which fit into the machine. With the earlier Senseo Delux model, coffee pods made especially for the machine gave the best results.  The Supreme is able to use a variety of pods but it takes some experimenting with brands and volume brewed to get the strength you want.
The Keurig brewing systems use K-Cups, vacuum packaged small containers of coffee, designed for this coffee maker. Users were pleased with the variety of coffee available in K-Cups from roasters like Green Mountain, Newman's Own Organic, Timothy's, Tully's, and others. Vacuum packed K-Cups of teas from Celestial Seasonings, Bigelow, and Twinings, as well as, cocoa from Emeril and Bellancino are available. 
Quality of the Coffee Senseo Supreme

Many of the previous complaints about weak coffee produced by this one cup machine have been decreased by the addition of the Volume Brewed Control. This allows you to use one large coffee pod or two smaller ones while reducing water volume to brew a stronger cup.
Keurig Special Edition B60

Unanimously, all reviewers reported that the Keurig machine brews a consistently good, full-bodied cup of coffee.  There were no significant complaints while there was praise for the Keurig machine's durability and reliable performance. Consumer Reports  ranks the Keurig B60 as "the best coffee maker of all" in its review of 35 different single serving systems.
