Coffee Maker Reviews
A good 6 cup coffee maker no one would recommend.
It is because this 6 cup coffee maker is not well known, that is the reason why people are not recommending? Well, I can assure you that this is definitely not the reason, this is a coffee machine that is very well known.
If most of the folks that are giving feedbacks on coffee brewers are having the mindset similar to mine, then it would be a case of not taking this machine seriously.
Well, to start with, this maker does not even look like it can really works, it look so cute! But, it has to be cute, because this is the hello kitty brewer.
Now you would have to agree with me that this is one machine that is on par, if not better known than your usual Bunn or Senseo. And if you agreed with me on this, then you would also be nodding your head agreeing that this fellow looks more like a toy than a coffee machine.
And, it is after trying it out, that I think this fellow needs some positive feedback as it has been grossly misunderstood! This is not only a good looking 6 cup coffee maker, it brews pretty good coffee too!
For people that have been reading my articles on coffee machines, I usually award high marks for brewers that are good looking, and of course, this hello kitty machine would definitely score high with its pretty pink theme and matching kitty mascot.
And using a removable filter basket, its primary value add is the saving on filter paper and of course most environmentalist would agreed that this is a green machine by not wasting paper.
Its set-up is similar to that of a very basic drip filter brewer, and with the right temperature, soft water and well maintained machine (especially the filter basket), this machine does as good a coffee as any other machine.
What surprises me is the attention to details that the Sanrio folks invested into this coffee machine, that it even comes with a anti-drip feature. This is a value add, I think only higher priced machines would have.
I always like things that are easily measured and this hello kitty coffee brewer has a water tank that comes with easy to read water marking that would satisfy this area.
Of course, belonging to the drip filter genre, this machine also comes with a warmer plate. While, warmer plate is not my personal favorite, as I do think they are useful in keeping coffee fresh, I see it essential in this instance.
Just imagine how weird or out of place a pink hello kitty theme would like, with a thermal carafe. So, the usual carafe would have to be in place to ensure that the integrity of the pink look and feel is maintained.
So, should you get this coffee maker? Well, retailing at just $40, personally, I think this is the perfect gift for ladies especially those that loves these cute stuff. Of course, they also must like to brew coffee. Then, it would make a great gift for this group of folks.

Between the struggle to fold a sport jacket so it doesn't wrinkle, the 45-minute wait on a security line if I'm flying, the price of gas if I'm driving and the worry either way that I left the coffee maker on, I thought I was pretty well versed in the inconveniences and stresses of domestic travel. Hardly! Things could be much, much worse, namely...Read more...
