If you drink a lot of coffee and you are looking for the best coffee maker on the market, take a look at the Krupps coffee pot that can brew 20 cups of java at a time. This coffee pot has two carafes each one with independent brewing systems. You will need to fill two filters with coffee grinds, but for an occasion where you have a large crowd of coffee drinkers, such at the office or at a meeting, the Krupps will supply your needs perfectly. This coffee pot can also make tea and coffee at the same time, so you can use one carafe for tea and the other for coffee. This will certainly satisfy everyone in attendance.
The swing out filter basket on this Krupps machine makes it easy to refill the filters when the coffee runs out. You do need to use #4 cone filters, which you can pick up at any supermarket along with the pre-ground coffee or the beans, if you prefer to grind your own. The Stop and Serve feature on the Krupps stops the drip so that you can get a cup of coffee during the brewing process. There is also a flavour selector you can use when you are only brewing small quantities.
For home use, there is the Krupps 8 -cup coffee maker and an espresso maker. The 8-cup model is perfect for making mocha coffee and this method is different from the regular drip coffee makers. Although it isn't espresso, mocha coffee has a deeper, richer flavour to it mainly because of the way it is brewed. This type of coffee pot forces steam from the water in the base through the coffee grinds and then into the top of the pot when it forms a liquid. The taste has sometimes been called "Americano", which is a shot of espresso mixed with hot water that has some of the taste of the coffee beans. To use this machine, you put the amount of water you want into the base of the coffee pot, fill the filter with the coffee grinds into the lid of the carafe, lock it in place and tarn it on. It does take about fifteen minutes for the coffee to brew, but the wait is well worth it. Wait until the bubbling sounds have stopped before you unlock the carafe.
