There’s more than one way to arrive at a cup of coffee, as you know if you’ve ever checked out those little icons on the coffee grinder at the super market. Each represents a different method of brewing and results in a particular grind. Here at Shopperati’s coffee klatch, we decided to investigate a few methods and tell you where to buy the equipment. The basic 10-cup drip coffee maker is the choice of many homes and offices. Procedure: Dump in water, fill up filter with coffee, press start button. For one of the best-rated (and most expensive) of this type, check out KitchenAid’s 12-cup programmable Pro Line ($250). It boasts “professional-level brewing” and convenient features such as a water filter and auto shut-off. Also check out Cuisinart’s new Cup-O-Matic single-serve maker ($199). You control the strength and size of your coffee, plus it has a 60-ounce reservoir, so you can get a piping hot refill whenever you like. Using a French press or “plunger pot” is much more interactive (read: a bit more work), but the coffee it creates is strong and flavorful. Put the coffee in the bottom of the pot and fill with water that has just boiled. Stir and let sit. After a few minutes, attach lid and plunge. The screen pushes the grounds to the bottom. Bodum makes a variety of coffee presses, like the stylish Eileen French press ($60 or $70; pictured) or the double-walled press ($60) . To brew rich, potent Turkish coffee, which takes the finest, powder-soft grind, you’ll need what the Greeks call an Ibrik ($18 to $36 for brass, depending on size). Put in sugar first, then fill with water, and top with coffee. Place on a burner and don’t go away (complete instructions available at How to Brew Coffee). To make cappuccino and espresso at home, try a stainless steel stovetop maker from Espresso Zone ($80). This one has a nine-cup capacity and a frothing wand to steam the milk.
