Daily Shot Of Coffee Recommends
One of the mostly frequently asked question is what is the best way to make coffee. There’s no easy answer because everyone likes their coffee a certain way and everyone’s situation is slightly different. However, theses are the four devices that I could recommend to any coffee drinker that’s looking for better coffee. There’s are methods, but these are the ones that I can suggest from my own use.
The French Press is a simple, yet elegant way to make coffee. It produces coffee that can’t be beat by many other brewing methods. It’s a must have in every kitchen.
Pros:
- Excellent Coffee
- Price Is The Same As Most Drip Coffee Makers
- Did I Mention It Makes Incredible Coffee
Cons:
- Fragile & Lack Of Padding In Shipment
- Not As Quick And Easy As A Drip Maker To Make And Clean
Moka Pot Stove Top Espresso Maker
The moka pot creates rich, delicious espresso. All you need is a stove top, water and espresso grounds and five minutes later you have your espresso. Maybe not a must have, but would make a great gift for any coffee fanatic.
Good:
- Makes amazing tasting Italian style espresso
- Simple to use
- Easy to clean
Bad
- Can take ten (plus) minutes long, but really I’m not going to complain too loudly about that. Good coffee is worth waiting for.
- Small learning curve

Zojirushi Fresh Brew Thermal Coffee Maker
There’s a lot of good coffee makers, but this is a great coffee maker. It creates full flavored coffee and keeps it warm all morning long. If I had to choose one coffee maker, this would be it.
The Good:
- Thermal carafe keeps coffee warm without burning it.
- Coffee brews hotter, bringing out more flavor.
- Easy to set the time and to program it.
The Bad:
- Tall, may not fit under some cabinets.
- Thermal carafe with no marking for cup measurement.
- Coffee filters didn’t fit in perfectly.

If you want ease and convenience, nothing beats a single serve coffee maker like this one. It’s perfect for those mornings when your in a rush or not awake enough to make coffee any other way.
The Good:
- Easy To Use
- Makes A Quick Cup Of Coffee
- Easy To Clean
The Bad:
- Price Per K-Cup
- Isn’t Tall Enough For Travel Mugs
- How Environmentally Friendly Is It?

French Press …
i might add, since these are as excellent as you say they are,
to find or select one with an insulated vessel.
less fragile than the glass types, and keeps the
brewed coffee hotter longer.
nice survey!
Nissan.Thermos has a double wall in stainless.
BonJour has one with glass insulation;
(double walled borosilicate glass).
Excellent suggestions. The Nissan Thermos has actually been on my list of things to test out for a while. I’ll have to check out the BonJour one too.
Mike,
As I read your reviews I picture you with 20 coffeemakers around you cords, filters, bags of coffee, cans of coffee, scattered beans, grounds etc……what is it like in your place when you are processing all this info and coming up with the results. Is it like being a “mad scientist” I just had to pull your leg! Really I enjoy every day digesting all your great news. Nothing better! Time to do some French pressing!
You should see my kitchen. I have an island counter and it’s filled with coffee gear and coffee. I also have a cabinet that has some random pieces of equipment. It’s a rough job, but someone has to do it.
