Lots of Variety Among the West Bend Coffee Maker s

As one of the most recognized names among small appliance brands, the West Bend Coffee Maker is a great product to have on your kitchen cabinet.

The original company was formed in 1911 and has recently united with the Back to Basics Brand to form the Focus Electrics LLC. West Bend Housewares, LLC, has recently turned it focus to small kitchen appliances such as the West Bend Coffee Maker, blenders, toasters, etc.

Not only do they manufacture products that kitchens in America would not be without, but they also seek to introduce American kitchens to exciting international products such as fondue pots, woks, and the Raclette Party Grill, a special cooking stone and grill top which allows guests to cook a special Swiss cheese known as raclette with a variety of meats, seafood, and vegetables.

West Bend Espresso Maker

West Bend manufactures several coffee makers. The most expensive coffee maker in the line is the West Bend 3 in 1 Programmable Coffee Maker. It starts at about $121.00 and will brew up to four cups of Espresso and up to 10 cups of coffee AND it can do both functions at the same time.

This West bend Espresso maker is programmable so that your coffee or Espresso is ready when you are, either for getting out of bed in the morning or for your mid-afternoon coffee break. It has an automatic shut-off feature, as well. The backlit LCD display makes clock, timer and display easy to see and use.

The steam nozzle for frothing the milk on the West Bend 3 in 1 Programmable Coffee Maker swings out for use in cappuccinos, lattes, and mochas and then back out of your way when you are not using it. The Espresso maker in the machine has an adapter that allows you to brew two cups of Espresso at a time.

The coffee maker also has a convenient pause and brew function that allows you to remove the carafe and grab a cup of coffee even while your coffee is still brewing.

West Bend Single Serve Coffee Maker

Another category of coffee machines for West Bend is the West Bend Single Serve Coffee Maker. This coffee maker comes in black or red, making a striking statement on your kitchen counter. The dispenser in this coffee maker quickly and efficiently heats 12 oz. of water for your favorite hot drink.

And this machine is very versatile in that it accepts ground coffee or coffee pods, tea bags or tea pods. It also will simply make hot water for chocolate or instant soup.

Starting at about $25.00, this West Bend coffee maker will accommodate a 12 oz. cup yet it is the perfect size for travelling. It doesn’t take up much space on your countertop, saving room if you take it to the office or your dorm room. For the price, the size, and the convenience, most reviewers were thrilled with this little coffee maker.

Some mentioned that the West Bend Single Serve Coffee Maker doesn’t always brew the full 12 ounces of water that you put into the machine while others didn’t have this problem at all. Another reviewer suggested that the drip line be cleared before making your coffee or hot drink each time while no one else mentioned this problem.

West Bend French Press

One other West Bend coffee maker that we want to feature is the West Bend Electric French Coffee Press. This coffee maker starts at about $40.00. It features black and brushed stainless housing and brews fully flavored coffee or tea.

Most French Pressed coffee features 4 ounces as a full cup. This machine brews four cups of regular sized French pressed coffee. If you are looking for a coffee maker to make four-six or eight or even 12 oz. cups of coffee, this one will not do so.

With a French Press Coffee Maker, the coffee is in the pot and the hot water is poured over it. The “press” pushes the coffee or tea to the bottom of the pot when it is finished brewing and the coffee or tea is ready to drink.

With this West Bend French Press Coffee Pot, the hot water temperature can be controlled easily making it perfect for brewing the best coffee. It can not be programmed for your wake up time and takes a few minutes to brew once you start the machine.

However, for the wait, if you prefer the French Pressed coffee or tea, you will be very pleased with your purchase. It does have an automatic shut-off for your safety. The plunger filter is stainless steel and the carafe is cord-free.
