Best Coffee Maker Ever!

Published by simplywriting at 11:16 am under Reviews Edit This

Best Coffee Maker Ever!Is this seriously the most beautiful thing ever? This was one of my Christmas gifts this year from my mother who always tries to get me whatever is on my wish list every year. This year I totally did not expect it because the coffee maker was a bit more than what we usually spend for Christmas all by itself.

So I get this baby home (it’s a Melitta ME1MSB Smart Brew), and I am SO excited to get rid of the $12 temporary model I was using and plug ‘er right in. Imagine my surprise when all of a sudden I’m looking at the weather, the three day forecast, the wind speed, sunset/sunrise times and so much more. All that and it brews coffee too! And just for the record, if anyone ever tells you that a coffee maker is a coffee maker - ha! I can totally prove them wrong - this baby makes one heck of a cup of coffee. The reason I wanted this specific model is because it is an upgrade from my former coffee maker that took her own life about a year ago. (pictured below) - it grinds and it doesn’t require filters because there is a built in filter. It’s simply beautiful. So how does this little miracle get all this information to you everyday? It connects to an invisible FM signal (and no I didn’t have to set up a thing - all I had to do was plug ‘er in!) and she downloaded straight from MSN Direct.

Seriously this is the best coffee maker ever and my mom gave me the best Christmas present ever!

Oh, and this picture is my former coffee maker that died last year (like as in 2007). Same brand, lesser model - retired now. I loved her once, but now a new baby’s in town!

    Darlene, I’ll totally take the blame. But seriously if you are looking for a long lasting coffee maker (I had my other one for about 7 years before it just kinda died on me) - this one is it. I didn’t even want it for the MSN Direct stuff, though that was pretty cool too - but just the idea of a great cup of coffee, built in grinder for the occasional pot of fresh ground coffee and the fact that I no longer have to buy stupid filters was enough to sell me on this model. I love it. Thanks for the comment and sorry for enabling!

    That’s awesome, the only thing that’s missing is a talking feature. Now that would be cool. I just got a new one but, it’s an espresso and coffee maker combined and I spent way to much but, I use it all the time.
