De’Longhi Espresso Machines: Manual or Bean-to-Cup?

A De’Longhi espresso machine comes in two very different flavors: manual pump machines where you dose, tamp and steam milk yourself, and fully automatic bean-to-cup machines that grind, brew and froth at the press of a button. If you enjoy the ritual and want the most control for the size, go manual. If you want…

George Foreman Indoor/Outdoor Grills and Compact Alternatives

If you want one George Foreman grill that handles both a balcony cookout and a rainy night on the countertop, get the 15-serving Indoor/Outdoor Electric Grill with Stand.

Igloo Self-Cleaning Ice Makers: Which Countertop Model Fits?

Every Igloo self cleaning ice maker in this roundup makes the same headline amount of ice: about 26 pounds in 24 hours, with a batch of nine cubes ready in roughly seven minutes. So the choice is not really about output. It comes down to tank size (how often you refill during a long gaming…

Weber Grill Liners: Which Drip Pan Fits Your Grill?

The right Weber grill liner depends entirely on your grill’s grease tray. Most Spirit, Q, Genesis and Genesis II 200 and 300 series grills use the smaller 6415-size tray, which takes an 8.5 to 8.6 by 6 inch disposable foil pan. Larger grills like the SmokeFire, Summit 400 and 600 and Genesis II 400 and…

Keurig Espresso-Style Machines: K-Cafe Smart, K-Crema and K-Mini

If you searched for a Keurig expresso coffee machine, here is the honest answer first: Keurig does not make a true espresso machine. Real espresso forces hot water through finely ground, tamped coffee at high pressure, while Keurig brewers work with K-Cup pods. What Keurig does offer is espresso-style drinks. The K-Crema uses higher-pressure brewing…
