Braun Piercing Unit

The coffee maker cannot operate without this Little Piercing Unit. Thank goodness it can be replaced, and so easily with a bit of help from Amazon.

this is not for the basic Bosch only for the Braun unit. The machines take different piercing units so just be careful when you are ordering one for your machine. I have searched Amazon.com and they don't seem to carry the one for the Bosch, only the Braun.

I was asked to review this item, but there really isn't much to say. This part broke on my Tassimo so it had to be replaced. The piercing unit does what it says--it punctures a whole in the Tassimo product to make your hot drink. That's really it...

Works just like new. I lost this piece when moving, was nice to be able to buy just the part that was missing and get the coffee machine back to working order. Price was not bad but could have been cheaper so 4 stars.

Hario MSS-1B Mini Mill Slim Coffee Grinder

Things you need to know before buying:

1. This product is small, very small. It is about 7 inches tall and 2 inches wide at the base. I knew it was small before buying, but cannot say that I wasn't surprised when I opened the box to see just how small it is.

2. The instructions in the package come in Japanese (no English translation). Be ready to figure things out for yourself, most notably, how to adjust the grind (it's at the bottom of the grinder, you have to manually turn a nut to adjust the grind from finer to coarser and vice versa).

3. It gives you up to 2 cups worth of grind space. Perfect if you grind you coffee just before drinking (like me), but not so if you want to grind large quantities at a time. This is very much a grind-as-you-go grinder.

4. As someone mentioned before, the finest grind takes a while to get all the beans grinded. Keep at it.

5. The grinding handle detaches and reattaches, it's not one whole product. You'll just need to store the handle near the grinder.

6. It's a great budget grinder. It grinds the beans at a consistent grind. That's what you're looking for. But, you're going to have to work for it. Be sure you don't mind the work before buying this product.

Overall, I'm a satisfied customer. I've used this grinder religiously every morning for about 4 months now.

Update (11/21/12): Over 2 1/2 years later and an additional 200+ reviews since I wrote this one, I'm still using this grinder every morning to grind my coffee.

Now this grinder's greatest asset is becoming my biggest downfall: I'm officially getting tired of manually grinding my coffee. I have lost all hope that it's going to break: the only chance I have of convincing my wife to let me buy a $200 electric grinder that can equal its quality. Such is life.

'Hope you found this helpful!

I researched for a while before settling on this product. There are alot of people reviewing it that say it is too much work and it takes too long. First of all, that is not the case. It might take 1-2 minutes for enough coffee for 2 people and it is not difficult by any means. Second, if you are looking at getting a MANUAL coffee grinder then you have to expect it to take a little bit of MANUAL labor, that's kind of the idea. I guess people are too used to their automatic, electronic kitchen devices that don't require anything more than the press of a button. On that note, electric coffee grinders have a high rate of failure, something they call planned obsolescence. With a manual one there really isn't anything to have go wrong.

If you understand what you are getting then this is a great little product. The reason I decided on this one is because it has a lid to keep the beans from bouncing out which means you can hold the grinder in your hands and at an angle while grinding, as opposed to having to keep the device planted on a counter top or table while grinding. With this one you can walk around or go sit down or whatever you want while grinding. It also has a very easy adjustment mechanism to change the coarseness of the grind and the whole thing is very compact. The burs are ceramic so they will never wear down. To me, for the money this is the best one out there.

***UPDATE*** March 2012

I've had this grinder and have been using it for about 18 months. I have had no problems and am still very happy with my purchase. The ability to change the coarseness of the grind is one of my favorite features. If I want my coffee to be REALLY strong I can grind the beans into a fine powder (which takes a little longer) or if I want it to be regular strength I can set it to a more coarse grind (which takes less time). With a little experimentation you can find the setting that works best for you. This is a solid little contraption and I would still highly recommend it.

I bought this item because it wasn't possible to properly clean my electric burr grinder and my wife kept yelling about the noise and coffee dust. The HARIO does a good job of grinding the coffee and is pretty simple to operate but it's slow and takes effort. The directions are in Japanese but all you really need to know is pop off the handle and clear top, pour in the beans, put it back together and grind, grind, grind. My only grumble is that the HARIO is so small and slick that you have to death-grip the thing while you're cranking. I haven't experimented much with adjusting the coffee grind but that's accomplished by turning the little wing-nut thing on the bottom of the grind section. Screw it tighter for finer coffee or loosen it for a coarser grind. If you unscrew it all the way you can disassemble the device for cleaning. The bottom line...if you need a small, portable grinder for about one cup of coffee, it's worth the money. If you need quantity, speed and complete ease of use...look elsewhere. Thanks for reading my review.

I don't need to add to the overwhelmingly positive reviews that already exist. This mill is fairly simple to use even without English instruction.

In case you're a potential user, but worries about the lack of English instruction, this translation will hopefully remove your concern.

Front Cover page: nothing critical.

Back cover page: Turn the nut at the bottom clockwise to make finer grind, counterclockwise for coarser.

Inside page #1: Top: Cautions

1. Turning the handle when there is nothing inside or turning it counterclockwise will damage the burrs. Don't do it.

2. Turning the nut/dial clockwise too far may damage the burrs.

3. Small piece of coffee bean can get stuck and prevent coffee from falling down. This may result in turning the handle without actually grinding any coffee bean. Tap the coffee mill occasionally to prevent this from happening.

4. Over time, the mill wears down. When the amount of coffee beans you can grind decreases significantly, it's time to buy a new one.

Bottom: Directions

1. Grind a small amount of coffee beans to see how much you need to turn the nut/dial to get the fineness you need.

2. put 1-2 cup worth of bean into the hopper: 1 cup = 10-12 g, 2 cupts = 20-24 g (see marks on the hopper). Don't over-load above the 2-cup mark.

3. Hold the mill firmly in one hand as you turn the handle slowly. Make sure the hopper cover is closed tightly.

Inside Page #2: Top: drawing that shows individual components, pretty self-explanatory.

Bottom: Care instruction

1. You can take apart the mill for cleaning

2. The nut/dial can be removed by turning counterclockwise.

3. After taking the nut off, you'll be able to take out the inner and outer parts of the mill/burrs

4. Oil from the coffee bean will get on the mill. Wash with soap.

5. Do not put the parts in dishwasher. Do not use bleach.

6. Do not lubricate the mill with oil

I hope you'll enjoy your new grinder as much as I do.

I bought this along with an Aeropress coffee maker AeroPress Coffee and Espresso Maker with Bonus 350 Micro Filters specifically for use when traveling. The combination makes the best coffee I've ever made myself (and I've been doing this for over half a century). The combination packs into a very compact space, made it through TSA without a hitch, is apparently almost unbreakable (so I would not have worried had I checked my luggage, but I have learned to pack for up to 3 weeks with a carryon and this combination fit in very well). If this is set on the finest espresso grind it can take over 10 minutes to grind a full load (beans in the top, adjust the grind wheel on the bottom, easily used) but set slightly coarser it took about 2 minutes or less to grind enough to put through the Aeropress. I grind whilst watching TV (public television, of course) so I can take whatever time I need. The espresso grind, by the way, is a hard press with the Aeropress but it works. In short, combining this product with the Aeropress allowed me to buy beans in New Orleans and make coffee the way I like it. One must take along a heating coil if one's hotel does not reliably supply a coffee maker (mine did not); the total package along with a baggy full of coffee beans kept me going in the morning without having to pay for room service or spend time I didn't have during a conference finding a restaurant.

Bottom line: I am overjoyed with this product and with the combination I described above. Highly recommend.

KRUPS XL2000 Milk Frother with Cappuccino Latte and Hot Milk features, Silver

I used my frother for the first time this morning, so this review does not speak to durability, just out-of-the-box function. It does exactly what it's supposed to. The thing produced a beautiful pitcher full of foamy skim milk, and I am enjoying a delicious cafe au lait as I type this. It was very easy to clean, too -the agitator pops right out for a quick rinse.

I know...I shouldn't review something the very first day that I own it, but this is special! I have tried to steam milk into existence as cappuccino foam for YEARS and it NEVER worked. So I bought this beautiful little gadget -by the way -it's only 6 and a half inches tall as it sits on its electrical connector. I poured in 2% milk (not the zero fat milk that my steam foamers required, and I pushed the cappuccino button and in about a minute and a half the thing stopped and I took off the lid AND THE MACHINE WAS FULL UP TO THE LID WITH HOT, FIRM MILK FOAM. I spooned this into two cups that had some leftover strong morning coffee (sumatra -good stuff) and a little sugar and a sprinkle of cinnamon and WE HAD THE BEST TWO CUPS OF CAPPUCCINO since the last time we were in Starbucks. This Krups (made in France) XL2000 Milk Frother is WONDERFUL ! I promise that after I've had the thing for a year or so that if it gives trouble or breaks I'll say something in this review but for right now I heartily recommend it!.

3rd Day:

It's EASY to clean. Just run water into it. The inside surfaces have a finish that is particularly resistant to stuff sticking to it. The finish appears to be in the metal itself and not an applied plastic. The milk doesn't scald in it so you can wipe the inside with a paper towel and all is clean. My 2% milk gives me a good foam that I can pour out of the machine instead of having to spoon out firmer foam. I haven't tried skim milk in it. Skim milk would probably make firmer foam but I like what I'm getting.

I have been using this product at work for a while now and it honestly transforms my afternoon coffee from a boring pick me up to a fantastic cappuccino! It creates very, very thick rich foam (here's a hint: skim milk actually makes the best foam. Not sure why something to do with milk fat in whole milk....) for cappuccinos and lattes, and is awesome at heating up milk for hot chocolate, vanilla steamers, etc.

I just got a unit to use at home for my morning coffee and my wife's chai tea lattes. This is really a fantastic product!

I currently live in sydney, lived in seattle for 20+ years and can be a little snobby about my latte. So when I first saw the frother on our sales floor I thought, who'd pay that much for something like that, then we got one in our break room... Everybody loves it and it is used constantly. It's easy to clean and we've had no problems. So I picked one up for the house. Only problems I've had with it is that everyone that visits from the states falls in love with it and we buy more milk than we used to. Amazon was the only place I found that I could buy one that works in the states.

Hamilton Beach 47900 BrewStation 12 Cup Dispensing Coffeemaker

I just received this coffeemaker directly from Hamilton Beach after my previous Hamilton Beach coffeemaker (purchased from Amazon) died after less than one year. Hamilton Beach replaced it under warranty after some bickering. I'm still chuckling about Hamilton Beach's request that I cut the electrical cord on my old coffeemaker & mail it to them, then mail them a photo of the cordless machine (which I did). Luckily, I was able to search for the order & I e-mailed the date of purchase to Hamilton Beach. The HB before that one lasted seven years, but I guess those days are over with cheaper manufacturing & outsourcing of parts. I have always liked these carafe-free coffeemakers & the coffee always came out hot enough--provided you preheated the unit by running water through it before brewing coffee.

One of the supposed "upgrades" or "improvements" is the detachable water reservoir. I have never had trouble filling the old non-detachable reservoir, so I don't find this feature especially useful.

The worst (and dumbest) thing Hamilton Beach could have done is to make the round filter in the coffee tank non removeable. With the previous models, the filter is removeable. I always left it off because it filters out too much coffee flavor & the coffee comes out weak regardless of how much ground coffee is used. Besides, I always use filtered water anyway. I just made a 12-oz cup of coffee & I used 5 tbsp. of coffee which should make pretty strong coffee. The coffee came out weak. I prefer coffee with a little cream & sugar, not cream & sugar with a little coffee.

I bought a $10.00 Hario Coffee Drip from Starbucks & made better, stronger coffee using less grounds than with this machine.

Had I paid for this machine, I would have returned it.

If you like weaker coffee, you'll like this coffeemaker, otherwise, buyer beware.

Update: 10-13-12: After contacting Hamilton Beach & asking if I could remove that filter without damaging the unit, they explained that I could not, because if I did remove it, coffee would leak from the tank. So, I tried an interesting trick: After making the coffee, I lifted the coffee tank & poured the coffee directly into my cup instead of using the dispenser lever. That bypasses the filter. The coffee came out a bit stronger but still rather weak. WARNING: If you do it that way, you have to be very careful not to touch that metal heating plate at the bottom of the tank. Yeah...it's very HOT.

UPDATE: 10-28-12. I found my older Hamilton Beach Coffeemaker & made an interesting discovery that further explains why the coffee is so weak regardless of how much coffee is used. On my old HB coffeemaker, there are NINE LARGE HOLES, spaced far apart in a large shower-head design that allows the hot water to fall on ALL the coffee in the basket simultaneously. This is ideal. On this new coffeemaker, there are only SEVEN SMALL HOLES close together (like a hose nozzle) so the coffee can't possibly be completely saturated by the water. This is likely a much bigger issue than the permanent filter in the tank. MAJOR FAIL on Hamilton Beach's part. If you use expensive coffee in this machine, you're wasting money with each cup.

For our last 4 coffee makers we purchased only Hamilton Beach Brew Stations. This latest is the best so far due to the separate water tank. While I agree with others that a light would be helpful under the fill spout, the only thing that really concerns me is the percolating sound it makes for the entire 2 hours that it is keeping our coffee warm. None of the other models over the years have made this continuous noise. It sounds like the coffee is still brewing when it clearly isn't. I've never seen a review that mentioned this problem, so maybe it's an isolated issue. If anyone has input I'd like to hear it. Other than that, once again we're satisfied with the brew station.

This is the third BrewStation we've owned. The first one had that horrible leaky tank problem... the second one was pretty good and lasted us for a long while, but still had the issue w/being difficult to fill, plus the serving spout was too low for filling travel mugs.

When the second one died w/o warning (still not sure what happened), I purchased this machine. I really like the look, the removable/refillable water tank, and the higher dispensing spout. The coffee is very good and stays drinkable until the end of the pot. The features of this machine (timer, customizable 'keep warm' time) are the same as the last machine I had, so nothing new to remark on there, but it works well. I particularly like the fact that the 'program' button glows brightly and is easy to see across the room when I'm not quite sure whether or not I've already set it up for the next day (don't ask, I'm getting old.)

I purchased this coffee maker after my beloved Chemex was broken, and my husband begged me to get a "real" coffee maker with an automatic timer. Otherwise, I'd have bought another Chemex.

This one had all the bells and whistles my husband wanted, and I was pleased by the assertion that my coffee wouldn't get that nasty scorched taste that I've associated with most drip coffee makers.

Right out of the box and a quick wash, I brewed 4 cups of Ethiopian, same as I used in my Chemex this morning. The taste wasn't as good as the Chemex. However, it was a nice good cup of coffee, and plenty strong for my taste.

However, just like the regular brewers, this one keeps the coffee too hot, especially if you only have a cup or two in the warmer. Their assertion that you won't have scorched coffee isn't really true, so I can't give it more than three stars.

Want Hamilton Beach 47900 BrewStation 12 Cup Dispensing Coffeemaker Discount?

I like the idea of the brew station, but after a few days I returned it to the retailer. There were two issues. First, even on the "BOLD" setting, it require more coffee than my old $20 pot to get a good flavorfull cup of coffee. Intead of 12 tbs as recommended, it needed 14-15 to get a strong enough brew. Most importantly, it would not keep the coffee hot enough in the on-board pot. Even after being in the resevior for 30-40 minutes, I still had to microwave each cup to get them piping hot.

I don't know if I go a lemon, or if this is normal for a Brewstation. I didn't take a chance on another. I'll go back to a conventional coffee maker.

Forever All In One Stovetop Cappuccino & Espresso Maker - "Miss Combi Duo"

First, my review is based soley on making cappuccino, as the only espresso I've made are the three pots you are instructed to make and throw away to "season" the pot before using. When I first opened the instruction booklet, I was overwhelmed by the diagrams and instructions. However, the English instructions are very clearly-written, and they are easy to follow if you just take them step-by-step. Once you've gone through the process of seasoning the pot, you will be quite comfortable with the parts and the process, and it will go quickly. There is also a good troubleshooting section.

A few things to know before you purchase this pot. The instructions say not to use finely ground espresso. I asked my local café to grind their high-quality espresso beans on the more coarse espresso setting. The result tastes exactly like what we had on a recent trip to Italy.

Don't pat the coffee down in the coffee holder, and don't tilt the pot after you screw the top and bottom together. I did this once to make sure it was screwed on straight, and the milk didn't foam because the ground coffee shifted in the coffee reservoir. If you want foam, you must use whole milk. I used 1% the first time, since that was all I had when I received the pot. The result was a nice latte, but no foam. Also, the instructions say not to use vegetable-based milks (soy, almond, rice, etc.).

The instructions say not to use an induction cooktop. I have a glass top range, and I set the burner on #7. It takes 4-5 minutes total for cappuccino. The pot produces two smallish cappuccini. If you are drinking alone, and have a larger cup, you could certainly drink the entire amount yourself. In fact, I'm so pleased with this pot and the ability to make cappuccino easily at home (after spending the equivalent of $4 for one cappuccino in Italy), that I'm going to email the company and suggest that they make this pot in a 4-6 cup version.

Jan 28, 2013 Update: Since I wrote my original review, I've had mixed results with this pot. About the half the time, I end up with latte instead of cappuccino. I am following the instructions, and making sure the valve is clean after each use. Filling the coffee reservoir to the brim may be the cause this, so I've been trying to use a little less coffee. The English troubleshooting section of the instruction manual is titled, "When the pot is naughty." The title in the Italian section of the manual uses the Italian word for capricious. I would say that capiricious is accurate, since I can't figure out why I sometimes get foam and sometimes I don't. When I get foam, I am very impressed with how easy it is to make real cappuccino at home. When I don't get foam, I still enjoy a delicious latte, but it's somewhat disappointing. I've reduced my rating from 5 to 4 stars as a result.

I bought this in hopes that it would make a decent cup of espresso, and cappuccino. Followed the directions for pre-cleaning it. Even while cleaning, I could see that the process was very nice, using the little pressure valve. Holds the water in the coffee, until the pressure is up, and then WHOOSH! fills the top pot. This little pot brews a wonderful espresso, with nice crema, and a nice frothy cappuccino. WOW! My only wish is that it was bigger. Perhaps a 6 cup model. If you want a good espresso or cappuccino at home, this will give it to you. Easy to use, and quick. No big bulky machine on your counter, and to clean. This thing cleans up fast, too. VERY HAPPY with this purchase.

This coffee maker is easy to use and makes nice cappuccino. It's similar to a bialetti, but you put milk in the top and as the coffee steams, it froths the milk. I've had it about a month, and have found that you have to be careful to use the correct amount of water, coffee, and milk: it's overflowed a couple of times. But most of the time it works well and I'm very pleased with it.

I am not a Espresso expert but do know if my cappuccino tastes good or not. Although I do want to have a machine that gives me strong espresso with good crema and thick bodied milk froth, yet I am not ready to dish out the money on a 15-bar barista machine especially when a lot of these mid-range machines costing $500 or more don't last more than a year or two before requiring expensive repairs. This contraption of a moka pot sort of gives me an inexpensive way to start off on my path to a barista. I have tried out a couple of different coffees and grounds but am not totally satisfied with the results as yet (more to do with my inexperience with making an espresso than with the pot). Sometimes I do get a thin layer of crema in the pot but it disappears soon after pouring it in the cups. I am also not sure about how much ground coffee I need to place in the filter. With the given measure of water (which is hardly enough for 2 small espresso cups)I feel the coffee comes out too strong or bitter if I top up the filter with coffee (wihtout tamping ofcourse). Diluting with more milk or water once the espresso is made doesn't really work with Cappuccinos. I guess I need to play around with different coffee types and grounds to find my sweet spot. Can't blame the utensil much for that since it pretty much does what its supposed to do. It actually makes a great milk froth if I only use water for steam and the filter left empty without the coffee... but that defeats the whole point of making a capuccino with espresso in one go. Anyways I think the pot is better than regular moka pots as it does induce some steam pressure on the filter grinds for better extraction.

Update: Improving the rating to 4 stars as I think I am now getting better results with a different grind and coffee. Using starbuks medium roast fine grind filled all the way to the brim of the filer, I am getting better crema and coffee is smoother too. I am frothing the milk seperately now using a small hand held milk frother. That way I can have more milk to reduce the strength (the pot only holds frothed milk enough for one cup) and keep the froth white in the cup as well. Going to try Lavazza Crema e Gusto Ground Coffee now to take it up a notch!!

So Overall I am amazed on how good the Cappuccino is and the valve used to make it happen is better than the one used in the other better known brand with the cow symbol. The overall machine is really well made. The issue was that upon arrival and opening the first thing I noticed is that it appeared to be almost new and not a new coffee machine. I say almost due to the fact that I would have not notice that it was used if it wasn't for the dried coffee stains left on the side of the coffee maker. For what I can see it seems like someone used it probably one time try to clean it really fast and put it back in the box trying to make it look all new but since they didn't pay attention to detail had left proof of their mischievousness. I have decided not to return it since I am not a picky person I clean it and is all well. The seller was CashClock but they may not be the ones to blame since I had also ordered some filters for my humidifier from a different seller at the same time and they got send together by amazon fulfillment services, where at least they should have done some quality check (although I don't know how their mail system works)and notice that the box looked like it had been open before and do something about it. The only reason I mention all of these is that I would had been really angry if the same had happened with a more important item like my baby's new bottles or an expensive electronic device that looks like it was tampered. In other words something did not happen or something happen in between me placing my order and receiving it at home. But hopefully I am wrong, and just wanted to inform you all for your knowledge in case these helps at all. Surprisingly enough I do recommend the coffee maker since is an excellent device and works so far great. If all above mentioned had not happened I would had gave it a 5 stars.

KRUPS XP100050 Steam Espresso Machine with Frothing Nozzle for Cappuccino, Black

I meant to give it three and a half stars, but I rounded up.

I got this machine as a gift from my employer for 10 years of service. I could have chosen a tent or a Dirt Devil upright vacuum cleaner instead.

The espresso that comes out of this machine won't make you forget about Stumptown or Blue Bottle, but it produces a nice, rich, dark cup of coffee. It's really more similar to what you'd get out of a Bialetti moka pot than to coffeehouse espresso. The steam wand lets you froth milk so that you can jazz things up into something like a latte or a cappuccino.

The main advantage of this machine over a stovetop espresso pot is that you can control the amount and therefore the quality of the coffee that it makes by controlling how much water you put into it. If you fill the carafe up to the "2" marking and use that to brew, you'll get a much stronger, more rich tasting cup than if you fill it to the "4" marker.

Also, it's pretty quick to set up and take down. I've timed myself at 20 minute for the whole process, with semi-hasty consumption of my beverage included. It cleans up pretty fast, with a minimum of unscrewing and fiddling, although it will be hot when you first begin.

I don't use the milk frother that much, and part of the reason is that it isn't really positioned very well. It can be difficult to get a cup up under it for starters, and it splatters the milk if you don't submerge the nozzle head deep enough. If you can figure that part out, however, it does produce a nice foam.

The bottom line is that this could be an enjoyable and practical addition to your home coffee-brewing arsenal. It has a small countertop footprint, and more or less hassle-free maintenance. The rest of our home lineup includes a moka pot, a french press, a pourover filter and a big bucket of instant mocha mix. I need a good smallish drip machine with a timer on it too, for purely utilitarian versatility, if not pure enjoyment.

Having said that, I"m not familiar with other budget espresso machines, so I can't really say if this is the best option if you have to pay for it yourself. I don't feel as though I'm missing out on that tent or that Dirt Devil though.

We have been using this about five times a day for four months. it makes great espresso. reviewers who had leaks should just empty the water out and put in the amount of water indicated on pot. works great, steams great, great deal.
