Brugo - double tippy sippy cup

November 27, 2006

If you need a complicated $20 mug to get your coffee at the right temperature, Brugo may be just the mug for you.

Available in about 12 eye-watering colors, the Brugo mug will (if you set the dial on the top correctly) allow you to spill some of your hot coffee into a cooling chamber in the lid to cool down to drinking temperature, while keeping the rest of it toasty warm.

This is all in support of what Brugo calls the “Perfect Temperature Zone”, or “PTZ”. The site is full of multimedia showing graphs of how long it takes properly brewed coffee to come to this temperature and how fast it falls below it.

Or you could just brew (or order) reasonably-sized cups of coffee, which cool down to the right temperature quickly, and drink them before they get too cold.

I’m just sayin…

Presto Scandinavian Coffee Maker - ReviewThere's a lot to be said for a device that does one thing, and does it well -- and even more to be said for one that does it cheaply -- plus it's even somewhat attractive. The Presto Scandinavian Coffee Maker falls right smack into the middle of this definition. It's not fancy, and it doesn't have a lot of features, but it brews coffee well, and the price (under $50, most places) is tough to beat. Pros Temperature - The Presto Scandinavian is one of the very few consumer coffee makers that actually brews at the right temperature. At a measured 200 degrees F, the Presto extracts coffee from the grinds without the bitter burnt taste of overcooked coffee,...


Philips Senseo Review I don't want to come off like I'm a Coffee Snob, but the fact is, I probably am. I drink enough of the stuff that I've gotten rather picky over the years about what it tastes like. A couple of years ago, I recieved one of the Cuisinart "all-in-one" brewers, which I truely enjoyed at the time - the thing even ground its own beans.. Due to various circumstances, I'd been drinking some rather hideous coffee at the time, and it was a nice step up. Lately, I've come to loathe the thing, though, and I'd hoped that the Philips Senseo would be a decent step up... Really, really good coffee is dependent on a handful of factors. In...


Zojirushi EC-BD15 Fresh Brew Coffee Maker ReviewI finally ended up with a decent "backup" to my Starbucks Barista Aroma drip brewer - the Zojirushi EC-BD15 Fresh Brew. I've been a fan of Zojirushi for awhile now -- they make the rice maker for cooking sushi rice (or other kind of rice). Given that their other big product lines are some very fine thermal carafes and hot-water dispensers, it's not a real surprise that they make an excellent thermal carafe coffee maker as well. Unlike their fuzzy-logic rice makers (which are smarter than many of the computers I've ever owned), the Fresh Brew is about as basic as a coffee maker gets -- the only piece of programmability on the thing is a timed brew feature, and...


The Coffee FAQ Looking for the last word on the hows, whys, and techniques of coffee? You need look no further than The Coffee FAQ, kept up-to-date by the bug-eyed denizens of alt.coffee. According to the International Coffee Organization, 101,324,000 sixty kilogram bags of coffee were produced by exporting countries in the crop year commencing 2003. Yet, the vast majority of people have probably never had a good cup of coffee, let alone an excellent one. Even with the rise of "specialty coffee" over the last decade or two, the overall quality of brewed coffee is poor. There are many possible reasons for this: uncaring vendors, an attitude of convenience over quality, uninformed consumers... the list could go on. A great brew...


Bodum Pavina Double-Wall TumblersSince I was downtown on business the other day, I figured I'd drop in the downtown Apple Store (I usually go to their store in one of the suburban malls.) An Apple Store is usually an expensive enough experience for me (mysterious minor iPod problem not solved, another bag full of accessories bought *sigh*), but in the height of cruelty, someone decided to put a Bodum store right next to it... I'm a serious sucker for Bodum's coffee and tea wares... I love all of it, and have too much of it... I went in (ostensibly) to buy a replacement for a broken Assam Tea Press, but we all know how that works. I did manage to narrowly avoid buying...
