Home Coffee Makers
You CAN make great coffee at home, using home coffee makers that emulate the brewing methods used in professional coffee bars. We offer many home brewing options. All prices are subject to change at any time.
The Technivorm MoccaMaster
This electric coffee brewer is the "serious" version of what you may already be using. One of the keys to this brewer is the water temperature (your current home brewer probably brews at a significantly lower temperature, and hot water temperature is a key to getting a good brew). Wine Spectator calls this exact brewer "The best coffee maker in the U.S", and we sell out of them regularly. It's what Melanie and Rich use at home. (We are currently out of these and as you've noticed if you've looked elsewhere, they're about $35 more this year - nothing we can do about that. Not sure if we're going to reorder these or go to a different drip brewer.)
Renowned by experts as making some the cleanest, least bitter coffee you can make. Similar to a french press, it is a manual brewing method: hot water and coffee go in the top, and delicious coffee is pressed into the pot. Affordable, and worth it if you love pure, fresh coffee. $31.95
The Chemex
The classic for over 40 years. This is the "pour over" method -- grind coffee and put it in the special paper cone, pour your hot water and drip brew into the carafe, which has a stylish "neck band" to comfortably pour hot coffee. (We are currently sold out and are expecting a new shipment in November). $39.99
Eva Cafe Solo
This elegant, beautiful coffee maker adds immersion to the coffee making equation: put ground coffee into the filter which is then immersed into your hot water for a few minutes to brew with the coffee and hot water in direct contact for a few minutes. Delicious, pure coffee, and besides it just looks great. It comes with a carafe "jacket" for heat retention. (Also sold out. We are expecting these around Thanksgiving). $89.00
Bodum French Press
Wildly popular, so you might already be familiar with this type of coffee maker -- ground coffee and hot water go into the pot, and after a few minutes, you press the grounds to the bottom of the press with a mesh plunger. This is the often the method we use to sample coffee, and we offer a "press pot" of coffee in the store. They come in many sizes. From $24.99
Hario TCA-2
The siphon/vacuum pot brewer preferred by the geekiest of coffee geeks. Hario is renown worldwide for the quality of its glass. This is the brewer used by Simon Hsieh and the crew at Barismo.com for their novel "cool towel drop" method of brewing as the Hario glass has proven strong enough to stand up to the dramatic temperature change once the towel is applied. We've even put the Barismo brewing method onto a trifold that accompanies your purchase. $109.95
