Allowing for Various Coffee Grind TypesThe scoop coffee maker doesn't need pre-packaged K-Cup packs or coffee pods, which can get expensive, and not to mention stale, over time. Instead, it comes with a mesh scoop filter that gives users the choice of any flavor (caramel, hazelnut, vanilla, etc.), any brand (Starbucks, Dunkin Donuts, etc.) and any strength (Regular or Bold) pleasing to their taste.Differing boldness levelsWith The scoop coffee maker, versatility is key. Whether you decide to go with a mainstream brand coffee or stronger premium-brand coffee, you need a machine that understands and quickly adapts. Use the regular setting for a quick basic, automatic drip coffee, or get an upgrade and choose bold for more fine grinds, decaf or stronger flavors premium-brand coffee like Starbucks or Melitta. Just remember that the finer the grind, the longer it takes to brew. For bolder coffee, the water passes through at a slower rate, but allows more contact time and better flavor extraction for a better-tasting cup when done brewing.Measuring Proportions AppropriatelyNot sure how much coffee to add when brewing? No worries -- each scoop filter is labeled with two measuring lines for exact serving amounts. And more isn't necessarily better, in this case. Overfilling the scoop doesn't allow room for brewing and water can overflow and spill over, ultimately meaning weaker coffee.Adjusting the Cup SizeBefore brewing, adjust the L-shaped cup rest to make sure your cup is as close to the dispensing nozzle as possible. For travel mugs, fit the cup rest against the coffeemaker and place your mug on top of the drip tray.Award-Winning DesignThe Scoop Coffeemaker was awarded the "2012 Good Housekeeping Very Innovative Products (VIP) Award" by Good Housekeeping Research Institute. In addition, the Industrial Designers Society of America (IDSA) gave it high rankings for its ability to use coffee grinds, instead of packs or pods, and simultaneously give users the freedom to choose their own flavor, strength and cup size for their coffee.Product Feature BenefitsCosts pennies per cup, compared to leading competitors' single-size packsProportions coffee exactly with single-serve scoop filterBrews an 8 oz. cup of coffee in less than 90 secondsBuilt-in adjustable stand holds standard-size cup and taller travel mugsOne steel mesh scoop filter included; no need for paper filtersWide drip tray on base acts as a spill-resistant drain for excess coffeeSettings for regular (automatic drip) and bold coffeeDurable, stainless steel features ensure coffeemaker's longevityAutomatically shuts off after brewing
