One of the things that I’m SO glad to have in our kitchen is a programmable coffee maker. You load it up with water and coffee grounds in the filter basket and then, just like setting an alarm clock you program it for the time you want it to start brewing.

I set it to start brewing about twenty minutes before my alarm clock is set to go off so that it’s finished and all ready to pour. I’ve had plenty of the garden variety “turn it on manually” type, and If that’s what’s available I’ll use it without hesitation but that programmable unit is worth it’s weight in plutonium.

There’s a surprising variety of coffee making tools and machines around depending on what variation of the universal morning elixir you prefer. From espresso machines to cappuccino makers, coffee grinders for those who prefer the purity of buying the whole beans and having the freshest possible grounds to use. How about percolators? I remember way back when, my mother used one and a bunch of years ago my brother and I had this really great 45 cup pot that would make enough in one batch to keep both of us in coffee for an entire day.
