Coffee versus coffee makers

Posts tagged with "compare coffee makers"

These are things and sometimes it might just not be that important

, ,

It takes a moment to make me realized that what I am looking for and what I have been thinking might just not be that important. What I am looking at -coffee maker ratings.

You can give me that incredulous look. Comparing coffee makers is the only thing that I have done throughout the weekend. It is immature?

I guess so. When there are disaster going around the world and people are fighting or rallying for a higher cause, and all I can do is to help people find best coffee maker.

Think about it, I feel lame and probably should do more. But, at least I am not a person that complain. I simply do nothing.

Worse are the folks that have the mental capacity but yet the only thing that they do is to go around complaining to the whole world that it just is not fair.

For folks that are following my blog about coffee or coffee makers (sorry not such article today), I just saw the news and have some thoughts about it...

No companies would do this

, ,

Can you imagine keurig calling another company product, specifically coffee brewer to be some top rated coffee makers? You don't think so right?

In actual fact, this would never be done. The top rated coffee makers, best coffee maker would always be their own company product. If they do not support their own product, who would?

And that would stop at that, they would go on and highlight perhaps how good their coffee machine compared to the rest of the world.

This is okay, acceptable, only thing is, when the whole world does this, which one should you trust?

Suddenly, you are bombarded with thousands of coffee maker all touting to be the best, but which is really the best then?

I am not going to make any judgment or any argument in this article, I am merely going to leave you with this thought: which company would say that their company coffee maker is not top rated?

I hope this would bring you to a different mental mind set when looking and searching for your next coffee maker...

This is really marketing 101

, ,

Good or bad coffee makers are decided by their management. Why do I say that? Well, how many automatic coffee makers can you remember? Not many right?

You probably can count them in one hand. There would be bunn, mr coffee, braun and maybe that is about all you know if you are not really that into coffee.

Of course, there are many more automatic coffee makers brand, it is just that they did not communicate enough to get your attention.

This the crust of the whole situation. If the management decided to blast some advertisement, the brand would at least be known. whether they would be accepted in the long run is another matter.

Of course, acceptance can be supported by marketing activities as well, if your pocket is deep enough, you can generate enough buzz...

No, I do not have anything against marketing and neither do I think the companies are out to cheat anyone, I am just thinking that if everyone would to jump on the bandwagon and talk about their coffee makers, what would happen?

It would be an equal playing field, new mechanic would have to be deployed to be heard...

well, make sense to me...

Maybe it is more subtle that those blatant TV advertisement, but no less interruption. I am talking about the thousands of consumer reports coffee makers can be found in.

An article make a very good point that these consumer reports might not be so trust worthy after all, and I think it is very valid.

This is because of economic reason. No one would turn down money, so similarly when companies offered sponsorship to these consumer reports, do you think they would turn it down?

I doubt so right? Now, if they take money to evaluate coffee makers, tell me, what is so different from TV advertisement...


Would you take 10 days to compare coffee makers?

, ,

Some call it the cooling period, but I simply call it weird. Now, if you need to take 10 days to compare coffee makers, then don't buy a coffee machine.

Because, if you can survive somehow 10 days without a coffee machine, why would you still want to buy any coffee brewers? I was just trying to be a middle man for a friend when this lady actually told us that she need a cooling period of 10 days before she can make any decision.

No offense, but that coffee brewer was like $30! It is probably the amount you would spend on a decent dinner in town. If that took her 10 days, I wonder how long it must have taken her to decide before buying a house!

Here is my thought, not everyone need to brew coffee at home, some of us do extremely well without any coffee machines. Maybe you can accept instant coffee, and some of us simply do not mind spending money in starbucks.

Whatever it is, coffee is to be enjoyed not something to be agonize over...

My take on cheap coffee makers...

, ,

Do you think a $50 coffee maker can be included in the range of cheap coffee makers? I can assure you that with this question, many of you that are reading it would be split into two camps.

One camp would be talking about how cheap and good deal it is, having being accustomed to buying coffee machines that are a couple of hundreds of dollars.

Another group would be surprised that a machine at $50 can be considered as cheap coffee makers. This group has been using french press and braun aroma that is retailing at below $20.

So, similar to best coffee maker where it is difficult to identify which is a best coffee machine, it is not easy to brand a coffee maker cheap or economical pricing.

I guess when it comes to shopping for appliances and anything, it is personal preferences. Nothing else come close...
