Specialty coffee is popular among Millennials, the 2015 National Coffee Drink- ing Trends Report finds, and KitchenAid's Siphon Coffee Brewer, De'Longhi's Pump Espresso, and BUNN's trifecta MB all offer means of ensuring that specialty coffee stays special even at home. This year the rising pop- ularity of tea among Americans has possibly spurred the incredible amount of new electrics kettles that debuted this year. Capresso, SMEG and Kenwood all came out with new kettles, while OXO's new Barista Brain 12-Cup Coffee Brewing System includes a borosilicate glass removable kettle for those who want to drink their coffee … and tea too. GN Capresso H2O Steel PLUS The Capresso H2O Steel PLUS is a premium elec- tric water kettle that enhances the tea experience with variable temperature control.

The beautiful stainless steel housing makes this 57- ounce capacity kettle a focal point in the kitchen or at retail. The smart design will initiate heating if cold water is added, keeping water at your desired tem- perature. A pause-and-pour function allows you to interrupt the heating process for up to a minute to pour a cup without waiting. Heating resumes when kettle is placed back on the base.

The intelligent microprocessor monitors time, temperature and volume from start to finish en- suring the precision of hand-crafted coffee. Water is heated to the optimal temperature for coffee brewing as defined by the Specialty Cof- fee Association of America (197.6 - 204.8 de- grees Fahrenheit) in the borosilicate glass removable kettle, and precisely maintains the temperature throughout the entire brewing process. Water is measured by an integrated scale and pumped to the brew basket in per- fectly timed cycles, starting with a short cycle that allows coffee to bloom for full flavor extrac- tion. When coffee is finished dripping into the double-walled, stainless steel carafe, a fresh- ness indicator on the LED screen counts up to 60 minutes (the maximum amount of time a pot of coffee is supposed to sit). In addition, the re- movable kettle has the ability to act independ- ently to heat water.

Suggested Retail Price: $99.99 KRUPS 973.736.0300 www.krupsusa.com KitchenAid Siphon Coffee Brewer The new KitchenAid ® Siphon Coffee Brewer fea- tures vacuum technology that fully immerses the grounds in water to create a more complex flavor profile. The brewer uses vapor pressure to create a vacuum and draw hot water from the carafe, up through a stainless steel siphon tube, and into the upper brew unit. Here, the grounds are fully im- mersed and evenly saturated with hot water, ex- tracting the coffee's full range of flavors. When the brewing temperature is reached, the heat turns off and vacuum is lost, causing the freshly brewed cof- fee to stream down through a reusable stainless steel mesh filter and empty back into the carafe.
