Life is so hectic, but coffee is a crucial piece of your fast moving life. Making it through the day without those 2 or more cups of delicious, heart-warming coffee would be so totally unimaginable. You have just moved, finished unpacking and your new place has a very tiny and not so manageable kitchen. Unfortunately, there's room for everything else, the toaster oven and the microwave, but the huge coffee machine. What can you do? Should you budget for a cup from your coffeehouse every day? That's crazy. It would cost you a fortune. Your best bet is to buy one of those coffee makers that saves space and look attractive too. This type of wonderful machine is the perfect solution, but you need to know which one to buy.
There are many of these space saving machines available. What about the reasonable drip coffee machine? They are one of the most reliable varieties for everyone and some can be mounted under your cupboards like a microwave. The trick is finding the right filters - nylon, gold or other permanent types. The permanent ones ensure that your coffee beans' oils get into your water and infuse the flavour perfectly. They also don't taint any unnecessary flavouring into your beloved brew. It is best to clean them after every use, but despite the extra effort, it is worth the time.
You could try the hand and French press types. Some experts claim that these make the best coffee, otherwise just stick to instant coffee. They are also known as cafetieres. You can buy them in your local coffeehouses quite cheaply. You simply put in your grinds, add boiling water, steep for a few minutes, plunge, and pour. Simple, eh?
The new ones are the exciting pod-variety. They speedily shoot boiling water through coffee type pads, that results in a cup of smooth java that is claimed to be pretty close to the European style coffee house brews. Some say that in order to make the supreme brew with your space saving coffee machine that you should use an espresso one. These are similar to the pod-variety, but the grinds in the espresso one are fresher and easier to clean up. Ultimately either one gives a flavoursome cup of coffee.
Turning to the space saving coffee machine is a wise move. You will definitely reduce the clutter and still get that early morning coffee. However, the real trick is getting a quality one to purchase.

Fantastic short story with a big moral.
By: Oron | 31-10-2007
Hi,A group of students at M.I.T decided to meet after 20 years at their beloved professor's house (yes like at the famous story by Edgar Ellan Poe). All remembered to come. All changed (got grey, ballheads, belly..... ). The professor brought a tray with lots of mugs..... a whole veriety of mugs: from plastic cheap mugs to very expencive chineeze porcelain mugs.... and asked them to help themselves. Each one took a mug and prepared himself his favorite coffee. The professor stoped them and said: "Please look, each one of you took a nice, fancy, expensive mug.... all simple cheap mugs still remain on the tray..... What you really want is coffee...... the mug is only a tool to enjoy the coffee..... Your lives are the coffee.... all the rest (work, career. money, job, title.....) are the mugs..... you do much to your mugs and less to your coffee (life). W-o-w ! - a lot to learn from this old professor.And we can have a nice lesson too !. Hope you all like it and adopt it as a way of life. Best regards,
