Vanilla Bean Doughnuts

Coffee and doughnuts have always been a favorite breakfast of mine. While I don’t indulge in this meal often, it’s nice to splurge every once in a while. The best way to enjoy it is early in the morning before the kids wake up while reading emails. Because if you’re a mom and a blogger than you know how valuable this time frame is. ;)

While in New York I met a Hamilton Beach representative who demonstrated the Scoop Two-Way Brewer and it was love at first sight. Have you heard of this new coffee brewer? I recently tried it out and let me just say, it’s everything you could ever want in a coffee machine! The single cup ability is perfect for me since my husband isn’t a big coffee drinker and I often only drink a cup. With my new Scoop Two-Way I can now enjoy a single serving without brewing a whole pot of coffee. But on occasions when I have friends over I still have the option to brew a whole pot. It’s a win-win with this coffee machine!

The Scoop Two-Way is easy to use and doesn’t require any extra cups or pods that some single serving brewers do. You simply use the scoop to measure out exactly how much you need, it even has a minimum and maximum line to help you determine the right amount. If you prefer pods then you’ll be happy to know that it works with senseo pods as well as coffee grounds. Once you have your coffee and water added, select your brewing option. One of the things I noticed is that the machine brews very HOT coffee, unlike any other coffee machine I’ve used. Another great feature is the capability to pause brewing to serve yourself a cup then resume the brewing. It’s also programmable and has an automatic shut-off.

 

Disclosure: Hamilton Beach provided me with the Scoop Two-Way Brewer to review. All opinions are my own. Trust me, you’ll love this coffee machine as much as I do!
