Review: Bunn My Cafe MC Model Pour Over Single Serve Coffee Pod Brewer

The BUNN MC My Cafe Home Pod Brewer is a modified single cup pour over brewer with a reservoir refreshed with each cup you brew by adding from 4 to 14 ozs of water each time you brew. The Bunn My Cafe MC Model coffee pod brewer uses coffee pods and tea pods and features both a standard brew mode and a pulse brew mode for tea and darker coffees. The BUNN MC My Cafe Home Pod Brewer is also very compact and has a stainless steel exterior. Unlike the older Bunn My Cafe this brewer comes with one pod drawer for brewing that can be used for tea and coffee.

Key features of the Bunn My Cafe MC Model coffee pod brewer include:

Customize Your Cup – choose coffee or tea pod and choose your brew strengthAroma – Enjoy fresh coffee aroma with pods as they brewFast – Great hot coffee or tea in under a minuteBuilt to Last – 2 year limited warrantyPulse brew option – extracts bolder coffee flavor; preferred setting for teaPatented Jet Action Sprayhead – propels water through the pods to release flavor and aromaPod Drawer – compatible with hundreds of coffee and tea pods plus tea bagsStainless Steel Hot Water Tank – keeps water at 200F the right temperature to brew without bitternessThe Bunn My Cafe MC Model coffee pod brewer comes with an assortment of coffee pods and tea pods so you can start brewing right away.

You remove the drawer and the brewer will start to heat
up. Inserting the coffee pod is easy to do and you can
use the holder to compost it after use.

Trying a Variety of Coffee Pods and Coffee Roasts with the MC Model Bunn My Cafe

We tried all of the coffee pods and tea pods that came with the Bunn My Cafe MC Model coffee pod brewer. We have to say the variety and selection was excellent. Anytime you can sample right from the box some of the best coffees you can get in coffee pod format makes us a true believer.

SDC11971.jpg

Some of the coffees included:

Reunion Island Coffee pods – Donut Shop, Vanilla Hazelnut, Sweet Unity Farms Mahale HIghlands and moreWolfgang Puck Coffee Pods – Sorrento BlendCity Steam Single Serve Gourmet Coffee Pods – Various blends including City RoastOrgana Tea Pods – English Breakfast and Others

We are dark coffee drinkers, and even a milder roast has to be really well brewed. There are two modes on the BUNN MC My Cafe Home Pod Brewer and in just about every case we chose the pulse brew method. Why? Pre-wetting a coffee pod makes for a much better cup of coffee. You can pre-wet and use the non-pulse brew mode, but the pulse brew does it for you by first wetting a little, then pausing, and doing this several times until you get a rich cup of coffee. We think the pulse mode is the way to go for most coffee drinkers.

SDC11979.jpg

The non-pulse mode is also great for just making a cup of hot water, and using it for something like hot cocoa. We also did find light coffee drinkers preferred this mode with a french roast coffee. They got the extraction and flavor but the coffee was not as dark.

How good is the coffee?

Hot and good. The head brew temp claims to be 200 F in the tank, and we found at the brew head exit this to be in the 197+ range. So that means inside at the coffee extraction point we have a really high temperature at around 200 F. The coffee extraction on all levels is well – stunning. The flavors from the coffee pods are rich and delicious and have regular brewed coffee notes.

SDC11982.jpg

We did some cross comparison with the Wolfgang Puck Sorrento Blend K-Cups and the Wolfgand Puck Sorrrent Blend coffee pods and found the coffee pod flavor to come out just a little ahead.

SDC11992.jpg

Composting Coffee Pods and Tea Pods

We think you’ll like how eco-friendly coffee pods are. You an compost just about any coffee pod as it’s just paper and coffee grounds. You’ll want to get a coffee pod trash can like this one. It will help you make sure you recycle those coffee pods.

The Power On Feature of the Bunn My Cafe MC Model

This is the one feature you have to get used to and takes about 1/2 a day. There is no “power switch” the brewer goes into standby mode after 6 hours and keep the water in the tank on demand hot for that time. After it goes into standby mode when you pull out the coffee pod drawer the brewer heats up and is ready for use in a few minutes. At first we were used to having our brewer have a shut off but then after the day and many days after that – we were really into this.

SDC11989.jpg We also tried the Dunkin Donut coffee pods. Result?
Excellent cup of Dunkin. Excellent.

First of all the water tank is small and keeping it hot is like having an instant hot dispenser so not that eco-unfriendly. And secondly we love how quick we can get another cup.

Conclusions

We really have to say there’s little not to like about the coffee pod brewer from Bunn. The MC Model My Cafe from BUNN MC My Cafe Home Pod Brewer is really hard to beat for a little coffee pod brewer that creates amazingly rich coffee. We love the foot print and think you’ll like the results from the brewer.

Pros

Small footprintTwo brew modes for light and darker coffeeOn demand coffee brewing with 8 oz pour over methodGreat extraction on coffees and teas100s of coffee and tea pods can now be yours to brewEasy to use coffee pods and coffee pod drawerSimple ControlsCoffee in about a minute when the brewer is onFresh coffee or tea each time because you always fill with new water and keep the brewer reservoir in a cycle

Cons

No water reservoir – you have to pour over a cup each time (for some a pro for others a con).

We want to thank Bunn for providing the Bunn My Cafe MC Model coffee pod brewer to review.

The suggested retail on the BUNN MC My Cafe Home Pod Brewer is $99.99 to $139.99.

How does the coffee compare head-to-head with the older BUNN MCP or MCA pod brewer?
Posted by: Eric B. at December 3, 2010 9:29 AM We think right on par.
Posted by: Jay Brewer at December 3, 2010 9:34 AM Does this unit allow the use of LARGE pods? Oh, and can you make a single brew cycle generate a cup of coffee larger than 8oz?
Posted by: B.S. at December 3, 2010 10:07 PM Yes, it will, up to 14 oz. of water. The unit will also take a 12 g. pod easily plus your own homemade pods.
Posted by: Pat at December 4, 2010 3:34 PM I was ready to throw my cash at the MC to replace my Senseo, until I read the part about no water reservoir. With that, would this have been a good replacement for the Senseo (original)?

Coffee: The Bad And The Good Sides Of Drinking It

Posted on | January 1, 2011 | No Comments

A lot of people think of their coffee habit as an unhealthy indulgence. It is not surprising since it is the advantages of gulping coffee that always receive the magnification. Well, there are many of them and they could be alarming but if only everyone begins to see the ample goodness of coffee, they would not be too guilty sipping a cup or 2 of it every day. Having mentioned a cup or two, aren’t you tired of your old coffee machine’s regular servings of bland coffee? It’s time for the big switch Nespresso Citiz C110 Coffee Maker could be the one you need.

Mayo Clinic’s associate professor of the Preventive Medicine and Nutrition Donald Hensrud says that while the common presumption that coffee is harmful could be true, it is not always the case. The professor said that there are over 2,000 different chemical components in coffee actually and some of these components include the ever popular antioxidants. He quoted a study which found a connection between coffee consumption and reduced risk of cirrhosis and liver cancer And remembered to mention that in another study released recently, Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia risks of development have been found to be lowered down by caffeine consumption. Coffee is abundant of caffeine.

Hensrud added that coffee can be a relief to some people suffering from migraines but he warned that coffee drinkers who habitually drink joe at work each day may suffer from withdrawal headaches should they failed to extend their habit on weekends. He also said that it is not a healthy idea to load up on sugar and cream as they contain loads of calories and fats. He specifically asked pregnant women and people suffering from anxiety and insomnia to be cautious with their coffee intake. Do not put up with the dull coffee your old coffee maker is always serving you. Have it changed now by Nespresso Citiz Single.

The goodness we can gain from coffee have been pointed out by Hensrud but it does not mean excessive drinkers of it are safe already because they are actually at risk of having bad breath, yellow stains on teeth, anxiety, jittery, insomnia and increased blood pressure to name a few. If you’ve ever heard of the saying too much of something is bad, that applies in coffee consumption so watch out how many cups of coffee you take inside your body. In search for a better coffee machine? Make Coffee Makers Guide as your reference point. You’ll find great coffee machine brands and deals at the site.

Hamilton Beach Personal One Cup Coffee Pod Brewer

41C1XNGcuML._SL500_AA300_.jpg

Looks like Senseo is touting another brewer, and not from them but from Hamilton Beach. We’ve seen these Hamilton One Cup brewers in various hotels we’ve stayed, and they’re okay but not the best coffee pod brewer you can buy. The Hamilton Beach One Cup Coffee Pod Brewer will use just about any coffee pod in the 62 mm and 7-9gram weight, but bigger 14 gram pods might not work. It’s interesting Senseo didn’t brand this with the Senseo brand, and instead have partnered with Hamilton Beach to bring a one cup only brewer with no reservoir to market.

If only it wasn’t rediculously expensive to ship to Canada…. :’(
Posted by: James at November 30, 2010 10:38 AM @James… I hear ya. There are however a few options available for Cannucks who want their GMCR fix. SingleCup.ca (based out of Calgary) currently carries most of the GMCR line-up. Another choice would be select Tweed & Hickory retail stores… they’ve recently added several GMCR flavors including (gasp!) 2 of the Celestial Seasonings iced tea K-Cups! They also introduced the SunCafé pod brewer and a load of Kienna coffee pods. Both retailers have flat rate shipping across Canada after you order a certain amount of products.

Sarah Lee to Sell Nespresso Compatible Capsules in US

SaraLeeCapsulesforNespressoMaker.jpg
The L’OR Brand of Nespresso compatible capsules sold under the Douwe Egberts brand name.

Single Serve Espresso and Bloomberg have reported that Sara Lee, one of the major coffee makers in Europe may start selling their Nespresso compatible capsules in the US through a mail order system as they look for ways to expand their distribution of this coffee format.

What are the savings? About 4 cents a capsule from Sarah Lee making their capsules .29 a pop and Nespresso’s .33. Doesn’t sound like a lot but it adds up. While Nespresso/Nestle feels that their capsule and machines are well protected through a layered patent process, Sara Lee believes that they have successfully circumvented the patent protection and have been offering their L’Or capsules in France online and at retailers since April, and in the Netherlands just this month.

They have reportedly sold 90 million capsules to date.

I think the price comparison is euro cents since regular capsules cost US$.55 in the US. When I bought capsules in Paris this Fall, I saved about $1/sleeve. I think Sara Lee will have to undercut Nespresso in the US by at least $.50 to make inroads.
Posted by: GeoffreyM at December 19, 2010 7:59 PM So you tried the L’Or Espresso capsules? What did you think of them relative to Nespresso?
Posted by: jbviau at December 20, 2010 12:45 AM They will have to do more than undercut by $1 or $2 per sleeve, for me. I get my Nespresso capsules overnight (I order two-day shipping, but apparently they now have a shipping warehouse in Tukwila, WA, near Seattle, so I always get my orders the next day now since I’m in Seattle), so the only improvement that could be made is to be able to get same day service. If Sara Lee can get me the beans faster or undercut the price more, then I might have an incentive to buy them. I wish Nespresso would just go ahead and open a Seattle shop.

Seattle’s Best Introduces Coffee Level System To Help Find The Right Coffee

Seattles-Best-Coffee-Introduces-New-Level-System-Range-To-Help-Consumers-Find-The-Right-Coffee.jpg

You know this just makes sense, and we’re surprised it hasn’t been done before in the coffee world. Seattle’s Best Coffee, a Starbucks owned brand, is launching a new line of packaged coffee with a “Level” system that makes it easier for consumers to find the coffee that fits their taste profile.

The new range is numbered from Level 1 to Level 5, each with its own ‘character profile’ on its package so that people can easily understand the flavor and blend of each level and make an informed choice. The entire line of coffees from 1 to 5 will debut next month. We think some K-Cup, Coffee Pod, or other single serve coffee roaster should do this and get people to try different types of blends with a system they can understand.

Review: Solofill Cup Refillable Single Serve Coffee Filter for Keurig Brewers

Review Single Serve Coffeesolofill_packaging.jpg

The Solofill Cup Refillable Single Serve Coffee Filter for Keurig Brewers is like the My K-Cup reusable filter or EZ Cup that allows you to use your own coffee instead of using just K-Cups. Using the Solofill is really easy, because unlike the My K-Cup reusable coffee filter, you do not have to take out the brew sleeve in your Keurig brewer. Like a K-Cup the Solofill Cup Refillable Single Serve Coffee Filter for Keurig Brewers fits in the brew slot where you’d normally put a K-Cup.

Key Features of the Solofill Cup:

No need to remove or swap out the filter holder.No filter to replace!Reusable – Environmentally friendly.Save money while reducing our environmental impact!Use your own favorite gourmet coffee.Easy to use – Simple 2 steps process.Innovative Octaflo-Plus hot water distribution system for a superior tasting cup of gourmet coffee.Easy clean up – Unique one piece design with integrated hinged lid and stainless steel micro mesh filter for easy clean-up.Brewing a Cup of Coffee with the Solofill Refillable Single Serve Coffee Filter

We’ve been using the Solofill over the past 3 weeks, and right away we found the Solofill Cup Refillable Single Serve Coffee Filter for Keurig Brewers is easy to use and makes a great cup of coffee. We also really liked hot easy the flip top-lid was to open and close, along with it being attached. No more lost lids, and the color being red is also excellent as we didn’t throw it away because we were used to throwing away K-cups.

Brewing a cup of coffee using your Keurig brewer was very easy. You simply open the flip top of the Solofill, fill with your favorite coffee, close the lid, and put it in the Keurig brewer K-Cup slot. The lid is self tamping, so all you need to do is close it and you’re good to go. Next you’ll have a pretty amazing cup of coffee using your own coffee.

Before filling you have an empty brew sleeve. 41YMlsMtPjL._SL500_AA300_.jpg
Fill with your favorite coffee. We’d use our own shot but taking
a picture with two hands filled is challenging. :-) IMG_8392.jpg
Insert into the Keurig brewer K-Cup slot. IMG_8395.jpg
Brew and enjoy your cup of Solofill filtered coffee.

We found different grinds to produce better results – the finer grinds tended to work the best with the darker roasts. We settled in a on a French Roast from our local Whole Foods and found the coffee tasted amazing. We did a side by side comparison using our Aeropress, and found the coffee to be on par with the Aeropress coming out ahead.

The Solofill Cup Refillable Single Serve Coffee Filter for Keurig Brewers has an “octoflow” path that the water flows over the beans. The extraction is produces is excellent, even resulting in a little coffee froth at the end (not froth or crema but good stuff). We also found after brewing clean up was a breeze. Simply pop open the top, and wash out the grinds.

Trying Coffee Pods in the Solofill Refillable Single Serve Coffee Filter

We did try puncturing a coffee pod and using it in the Solofill. Results were mixed but dumping out the contents of a coffee pod did produce good results, however this defeats the purpose. If you’re going to attempt to use a coffee pod stick in the 7-9gram range and puncture it at the top so the water can brew through. As with everything you try – try again and you’ll get better results as you figure out what works with the pods you have. The Solofill however is made to work with ground coffee, not punctured coffee pods but it was worth a try.

Conclusions

We really love this little gadget for our Keurig brewer. Like the My K-Cup Reusable Filter, and the EZ Cup it allows you to use either ground coffee or coffee pods in your Keurig brewer. We think if you like having a little experimentation in your single serve coffee life, then you’ll enjoy the Solofill Refillable Single Serve Coffee filter.

Thanks again to Robert from Solofill for sending us the Solofill to review.

I’ve found the Solofill to be far superior to the MyKCup – less hassle since you don’t have to remove the insert and screw around with a separate filter basket. It’s superior to the E-Z cup too – with the cost of the E-Z Cup filters, you might as well buy the regular K-Cups. Solofill is nice if the flavour doesn’t exist in a K-cup or you have extra time. From a time standpoint, or if you’re pumping out multiple cups for a crowd, processed K-Cups are still the most convenient. Then again, if the price keeps creeping up, you’ve got an awesome second option with the Solofill.
Posted by: Purcell at December 10, 2010 1:11 PM Will this also work in the Cusinart SS770?
Posted by: Geoffrey Chambers at December 12, 2010 11:15 AM Your picture shows the Cuisinart Brewer using this SoloFill, but both Amazon’s page and the SoloFill site say that this is not compatible w/ the Cuisinart. I had this ordered from Amazon but cancelled the order because I was afraid it wasn’t going to work in our machine? Can you confirm it does work with the Cuisinart?
Posted by: Rebecca at December 12, 2010 1:53 PM I am using the solofill without any problems in my cuisinart brewer. Not sure which model my brewer is, but it looks just like the one in the photograph and was purchased from costco last month.
Posted by: Jon Clayton at December 16, 2010 8:45 AM K-cups are punctured on their bottom by the coffee machine. How does this not damage the coffee maker. What happens to the bottom spike when this is put in the machine.
Posted by: Donna at December 18, 2010 12:39 AM I received both a Cuisinart SS770 Brewing System and a SoloFill Cup for Christmas and I love them both! I was experimenting and used the SoloFill to brew iced tea using Lipton tea bags. I cut open and emptied out the contents of the bags into the SoloFill cup. It worked perfectly! The only issue I have (and this is probably why SoloFill does not specifically list the cups as compatible with Cuisinart SS770s) is that the head of the machine does not close/lower fully. The machine thinks that the head is closed though, as the screen reads “Ready”. I checked the fit to make sure that it is not putting any stress on the top or bottom needles, as I was afraid of damaging them, but I really don’t think the SoloFill is coming into contact with either of them. I think what is preventing the head from closing all the way is that diameter of the hole in the top of the SoloFill cup is not large enough to accommodate the diameter of the rubbery gasket around the upper needle of the machine.
Posted by: Laura at December 26, 2010 5:16 PM Looking forward to receiving one of these, as Keurig’s own MyKCup was a complete disaster and I have returned mine. I should not have to jerryrig the KCup as your other readers have suggested elsewhere.
Posted by: LAprGuy at December 28, 2010 12:51 PM Tried to order one direct from their webpage and it was out of stock until 1/3. Ordered from Amazon and it won’t arrive until 1/31-2/6. Whoever is producing these needs a larger operation. High demand and no supply. I can go buy a “my k-cup” at any BB and B or Best Buy today. All that said, there must be a reason why they’re selling out and this is the only product of it’s type I’ve seen with all positive reviews and no catastrophic defects.

Clean Drinking Water: People Prefer Using Various Systems Because Of Unsafe Water

Posted on | December 29, 2010 | No Comments

It is important to have Clean drinking water to be able to get the necessary requirements of water people need. But clean drinking water really isn’t easy to create. Drinking water comes in different types that you may decide to consume and some of them are claimed to be safer than the others. There are those people who choose to drink filtered or purified water. Other people decide to use water filtration systems or distilled water systems to solve the problem.

Everyone has his or her own way of handling the situation. But even with all of these different ways to create clean drinking water, the condition of getting clean drinking water is still difficult, especially around the world. People in the United States have alternatives and they can decide to have clean drinking water whenever they want. You can learn more about the water filtration systems I just mentioned by visiting DitchTheBottle.com.

In the United States, especially throughout the world, the issue of clean drinking water has been a grave problem. In order for drinking water to be considered clean and pure it is important that it comply with very strict standards. These standards are what make the water safe to drink and people can experience a number of long-term negative effects if these standards are not met. These negative effects are the ones that drive these people to decide using other types of water.

The only problem is many of them turn to drinking bottled water, which can also be unsafe, mainly because the bottled water industry is not regulated. Of course, there is no way that you would not risk any chances of drinking bad water, would you? You can gain access to various water filtration systems when you visit DitchTheBottle.com.

Meeting the state and local water quality standards in order for drinking water to be considered clean is very important. The reason why this is necessary is because just about all types of water, which have not been cleaned, usually contain high amounts of contamination such as pathogens and other dissolved solids. If people were to consume these pathogens and dissolved solids it would cause them to become very sick. Even though in the past, there have been a few incidents of pathogens and dissolved solids getting through, the problem has been regulated in this country.

Unlike in the United States, clean drinking water isn’t readily available in other countries around the world. As a result people in those countries suffer from chronic illnesses simply because of drinking bad water. However, some of the purest water in the world can be found in the United States. But this should not make people feel safe and relaxed. In order to ensure the water they are drinking is safe, many of them chose to use water systems.
