Sanyo Coffee Maker - A Product From An Environment Friendly Company

Sanyo coffee maker is a product from a well known and established name.

Sanyo was established in Japan in 1947 under the name Sanyo Electric Works.

Over their years in the industry, Sanyo has worked with bicycle generator lamps, home electric appliances, whirlpool action washing machines, televisions, radios, and cordless electric products to name just a few.

Working toward using renewable energy as much as possible, Sanyo is developing products that use various kinds of energy including hydrogen and solar energy.

One of these accomplishments includes an agreement with Ford Motor Company to produce batteries for their hybrid electric vehicles. They have also established working relationships with Haier Group Company, Samsung, and Eastman Kodak Company in an effort to promote environmentally sound options for consumers.

Very unique among energy researchers is the Sanyo Solar Ark. This is a huge photovoltaic power generating system which generates current and/or voltage when illuminated by the sun. They have also opened the Sanyo Solar Lab which is actually a solar energy museum. Both of these are in Gifu, Japan.

Sanyo Coffee & Tea Makers

Sanyo has also created a Coffee and Tea Maker with a built in grinder, ensuring fresh coffee taste each and every time you brew coffee.

With a capacity for six cups of coffee, you will be able to have coffee for breakfast and then on into the morning. The water tank fits snugly into the machine and is calibrated for your convenience. There are also calibrations on the water tank to follow if you are going to be brewing for iced coffee or tea.

The Sanyo Coffee and Tea Maker has a soft shower drip system through which to dispense your coffee or tea for superior flavor. It has a charcoal filter for your water so that your coffee and tea taste fresh. The keep warm feature keeps your beverage at the perfect temperature until the unit is turned off.

This machine is unique in its tea making capacity. To make the tea, there is a specifically designed tea basket which will capture the true flavor of the tea as it passes through the brewing system. The screen in the tea basket will allow you to use your favorite loose tea leaves as well as tea bags. This basket allows the water and the tea to circulate in the basket so that the full flavor of the tea is poured into the carafe.

Another important point for tea drinkers is that because the tea basket is separate from the coffee grinding container, the tea and coffee flavors do not mix if the carafe has been cleaned since the last coffee brew.

If you really like tea and you really do not like coffee, you may want to order a second carafe for the machine if you are going to be using both features on a daily basis to avoid having to really clean to get the coffee taste out of the carafe.

This Sanyo Coffee Maker has a charcoal gray exterior with accents of stainless steel. No need to worry about crowding your countertop – it’s the perfect size to fit under your cabinets and to fit alongside other favorite appliances.

Information about how the iced coffee and iced tea feature works is very difficult to find as are reviews from people who have used this function. One reviewer who did comment on the feature stated that it really isn’t designed to put the ice in the machine anywhere and that the keep warm mechanism automatically kicks in, making it hard to cool the brew down for the iced tea and iced coffee drinks.

The online product manual states that you simply pour the tea or coffee over the ice in your glass. This is not really very much different from making tea on the stove and pouring it over ice except that the carafe pours easier than does a soup pan.

If you are looking for a machine that makes iced coffee and iced tea all in one step, you will probably want to look elsewhere.

Reviews Of Sanyo Coffee Maker

Reviews for the Sanyo Coffee and Tea Maker are mixed. One tea drinker reviewer was very pleased with the way the tea maker brewed a nice cup of tea while another tea drinker was disappointed that there was no input for tea type and no way to vary the steeping times.

One coffee drinker who reviewed this Sanyo Coffee Maker made mention of the fact that once the coffee is ground, you have to manually move it to the filter basket while several coffee drinkers were thrilled with the grinder and the coffee brew.

Sanyo offers a toll free number for service on its tea & coffee makers as well as a website for Sanyo coffee maker parts & service. There is a one year limited labor and parts warranty should you have any problems with which you need their service.
