Do you want to wake up and smell the coffee every morning? This article provides some simple tips in using a coffee-maker, so that you can wake up to that freshly brewed coffee aroma every day.
At the end, I give a recommendation of a nifty, inexpensive coffee-machine that can make it happen.
Why Own a Coffee-maker? If you have never owned a coffee-maker, go out and treat yourself.
This is a feature of every modern kitchen.
Quite simply an all-in-one, compact machine that lets you convert whole coffee beans into steaming cups of freshly brewed coffee.
The main parts are the bean chamber that holds the whole beans, a grinder that grinds up the coffee, a water unit that boils up cold water and then pours it over the ground coffee and, of course, a pot to catch the fluid.
The coffee-maker also has a heating pad to keep the coffee warm.

A special feature: you can also program it to shut down when you choose -- either right after brewing or up to two hours later.
