Kenco Singles Coffee Machine review

coffeeLuv — Wed, 21 Nov 2012 11:55:11 +0000

The Kenco Singles coffee machine is Kenco’s ‘flagship’ model and designed to appeal to a wide consumer base. Using simple-to-work capsules that simply plug into the machine the coffee maker can be easily operated by anybody, and as such it’s sold as a perfect solution for high-traffic areas in businesses such as break rooms, receptions, kitchens and the like. The second half of 2012 has also seen Kenco introduce a new look model, with a cleaner design incorporating more brushed-silver and the signature Kenco red colouring that makes the machine look more appealing and actually makes it even easier to use. It also incorporates an optional drinks and accessories rack section better than the previous model, making it look more like a natural addition and showing off the selection of available drinks far better. Ease-of-use is key when it comes to office coffee machines – if a coffee maker isn’t simple to operate it is unlikely to encourage the high-volume usage that justifies its installation instead of the simple ‘cup and spoon’ and kettle coffee solution. Kenco has hit the nail on the head in this regard, as the Singles machine’s various drinks are contained within clearly marked pods that are easily popped into the machine, which then automatically pumps out your tasty hot beverage. It’s quick and simple to use and as such works excellently for outputting a range of drinks in a rush – ideal for when business guests or meeting invitees arrive. Being Kenco the machine also supports a nice range of drinks, from Colombian roasts and Carte Noire espresso to plain old decaff; through peppermint tea, PG tips and hot chocolate. The capsule ‘pods’ are individually foil-sealed so hold the flavour nicely, and mean that a wide range of different drinks can be served up in double-quick time – again perfect when dealing with a picky office drink round or meeting. Many leading UK office coffee machine suppliers like Eden Springs and Garraways have made the Kenco Singles a primary machine in their lineup, so expect to see it doing a great job in more and more in offices around the country.

Heartburn Caused By Coffee and How to Avoid It

coffeeLuv — Thu, 08 Nov 2012 13:14:47 +0000

You really need to fully experience heartburn caused by coffee to truly understand the discomfort. Passionate Coffee fans who are familiar with this condition actually face a real catch 22 situation and ask do they sacrifice the enjoyment of great tasting coffee in order to avoid heartburn? Drinking coffee is now a massive piece of our cultural and social make up, and you'll see that nearly everybody happens to be regularly consuming the beverage throughout the day at work, in coffee shops and takeaway versions while walking along the street and malls. If you really enjoy the coffee drinking lifestyle then it does become rather difficult to eliminate this habit from your diet altogether. A perfect example is at the office where the alluring aroma coming from the direction of the coffee machine can be too hard to resist and we talk ourselves into thinking that just a single cup is not going to hurt that much. A little time later and the regret kicks in as heartburn rears its ugly head. What causes heartburn? Heartburn is due largely to stomach acid making its way up and back into the esophagus. This back wash of acid will cause extreme irritation or trauma of the lining on the esophagus wall. Which causes the familiar burn sensation, which often associated with an acidic after taste in the mouth. Caffeine is often a major trigger of this heartburn effect as it forces the stomach to make increased amounts of stomach acid, which is usually a lot more than the body really need to assist with digestion. This overload or excessive amount of acid will then leak into the lower section of esophageal sphincter. Thus is the source of that terrible discomfort and burning sensation. Hevla technique - making coffee drinking possible again Many in the past thought that to enjoy coffee without heartburn would require switching over to a weaker or inferior tasting decaf version. Not so anymore. The Hevla technique is a fairly recent solution that filters out the caffeine from regular coffee without the loss of any the flavour. It makes enjoying full taste coffee brews possible again for heartburn sufferers that have to live minus the caffeine consumption. Helva is a steaming process where coffee beans are steamed under extreme intense pressure. It's through this process that caffeine is extracted from the bean via molecules bonding to the caffeine in the steam. This is all done without any effect on the flavour of the coffee which is brewed from it. So with the caffeine removed, the coffee which is consumed doesn't trigger the excessive production of stomach acid and therefore eliminates the heartburn, while retaining the wonderful coffee taste and full aroma. Amazingly, this process of Helva is really not used a lot, however it still offers a tremendous advantage commercial wise for coffee suppliers who utilise it as they'll be able to retain of those kind of consumers who have heartburn conditions due to regular coffee but who really dislike the artificial taste of regular decaf coffee. Helva produced coffee will become available in a wide variety of types eventually in super markets where you can buy coffee. This will include whole coffee beans, ground roasts, instant granules and even coffee pods for all types of single serve coffeemakers. So people suffering from coffee triggered heartburn will never have to turn away a full flavoured cup of coffee ever again!

5 Coffee Storage Myths You Need to Know

coffeeLuv — Fri, 19 Oct 2012 12:27:18 +0000

People are passionate about their coffee. And although freeze dried and instant coffees still represent a huge portion of the overall coffee market, there is another segment that is purchasing coffee bean grinders, French presses, and coffee/espresso machines that cost hundreds of dollars. For that second segment of the coffee drinking demographic, its important for them to understand how to properly store their coffee, so that they are able to brew the best tasting coffee possible. Eliciting the full, complex flavors from the coffee beans and grinds require that you first store them properly prior to preparation. Lets take a look at some of the myths that have perpetuated around the storage of coffee. Freezing Your Coffee Beans Extreme temperatures rob coffee beans of their essential oils. It's those oils that give your coffee that rich, bold quality. In addition to the oil depletion, coffee beans are porous and the freezing process is bound to introduce moisture to the bean. You Can Store Your Beans Anywhere on the Counter-top Another enemy to the coffee bean is light. Light will also sap the bean of its essential oils and the oils are what gets released in the brewing process providing all that flavor. Additionally, there are places near the stove or above the dishwasher where the temperature is going to get too warm and result in breaking down those oils even further. Coffee Has to be Stored in an Airtight Container As with most organic material, coffee beans give off CO2. You want to provide a way for these gases to escape, otherwise they could speed the deterioration process and impact the coffee bean flavor profile. This is the reason you see bags of coffee with valves for releasing the co2 gases given off by the beans. You Can Grind Your Coffee Beans Well in Advance This scenario is similar to fresh ground pepper in that both pepper corns and coffee beans produce oils once they are ground. Over time, these oils dissipate or lose their strength. For the same reason fresh cracked pepper is much more flavorful and robust, fresh ground coffee beans are going to be at their highest flavor profile as the oils are released upon grinding. If you want all that flavor, grind the beans as needed just before brewing. Coffee Grinds Should be Kept in the Fridge Although the refrigerator temperature is not as extreme as the freezer, it is still sufficient enough to help rob coffee of its essential oils. Additionally, coffee is likely to absorb smells and flavors from the other items in the fridge. Storing grinds or beans in the fridge is not a good idea. Here are some tips for proper coffee storage.

Wait until the last minute to grind your beans
Store your coffee beans in a cool, dry, dark place to preserve their flavor
Never store coffee beans or grinds in the refrigerator or freezer.
Keep beans and grinds away from heat sources.

The only really big bad point is the cost. Unfortunately its not that cheap and your looking around the 3,500 mark. However you can get it a few hundred dollars cheaper if you buy it through sellers that are partnered with Amazon, you might be also find a refurbrished or demo version of the model (which is still virtually brand new). Summary of the Cons:

Easy to leave fingerprints on device.
Taller cups might not fit.
It probably wouldn’t be so great in an office environment, as you would have to clean it very often.
Also it is quite big and heavy, so transporting or moving it is quite hard. The flip side of that it's very durable/robust and is extremely stable.
Very pricey when compared to other coffee machines.
