Give girl new coffee maker. Have girl make coffee with aforementioned coffee maker. Have girl drink all of the coffee from aforementioned coffee maker. Place camera in front of aforementioned girl. Let the hilarity ensue. Background music: “Did We Make It?” by Casey Desmond. And I STRONGLY, strongly recommend you check out her work. I’ve known her since high school and she’s nothing short of a musical genius: myspace.com caseydesmond.com (And buy her latest album while you’re at it! You won’t regret it =)) Unfortunately, these are all things that I have actually said in conversation. …Minus the ninja song. As you can imagine, I’m still trying to figure my way through Pinnacle (especially the audio part…but I think the video represents that statement best) When did I start making REALLY long descriptions?

KonaRed Coffee Fruit, made from the fruit of the coffee bush,  also called the coffee cherry, is one of the worlds most nutrient packed superfoods.  As with most dark colored berries coffee cherries contain anthocyanins – one of the substances that science has shown to have anti aging and anti cancer benefits.

Anthocyanins are a type of antioxidant, which are nutrients that the body uses in cell repair as well as substances that slow the oxidation damage to our body.

During energy production, sun exposure,  and process of the human body’s cells consuming oxygen, a byproduct called a free radical is created that can do damage to the human body in much the same way that rust causes damage to steel.  Antioxidants play a huge role in preventing and repairing the damage done by these free radicals, and science has proven that people who have a diet rich in antioxidant dense superfoods such as acai and coffee cherry live longer healthier lives. Adding  antioxidant rich foods to your diet is the way most medical professionals and scientists advise patients to protect yourself from these free radicals.

Over time free radicals can actually cause damage to the cells DNA, these mutations can grow out of controls leading to tumors, skin, and other types of cancers. Free radicals damage cells in the body when their reactive oxygen molecules interact with other types of chemicals necessary for life within the body.

Damage from these unbound free radicals can result in a range of neurological damage down to premature aging and skin elasticity degradation. Luckily nature has provided the perfect antidote to the damage caused by free radicals in KonaRed Coffee Fruit available at http://konared.com/.

Scientists have known for years that when antioxidants are taken regularly, the human body is able to repair and maintain its cellular integrity from past as well as future dame from these dangerous free- radical molecules.

Dr. Perricone is the one who introduced the layperson audience to the power of antioxidant superfoods in his book, The Perricone Promise. In this book he describes his experience with the acai berry, a great superfood, but one that has about 1/3 of the ORAC capacity of the concentrated KonaRed Coffee Fruit.

In this book, Dr. Perricone describes the acai fruit berry as containing has every ingredient needed to look and feel younger. Also, according to Dr. Perricone the fruit will help revitalize health and hinder the process of aging.  Dr. Perricone has not had a chance to study the effects of coffee fruit on the human body, but when compared to the activity and ingredients of the acai berry it is clear that users can expect better results due to its potency as well as high concentration of phenolic acid and other free radical fighters.

Do find yourself with limited counter space in your kitchen mainly due to the number of small appliances you have everywhere. Toasters, coffee makers, blends, and toaster ovens can all take up a lot of useful space. We now see more people turning to built in coffee makers to solve part of this problem and have one less small appliance on their counter cluttering everything up.

The cost of a built in coffee maker can vary from a couple hundred up to thousands of dollars. I know you’re probably thinking the same thing I did when I heard this..Thousands? You can actually spend thousands of dollars just on a coffee maker. It’s true new built in makers that are plumbed directly into your water and electrical are the peak of convenience for making coffee. Never having to add water or contend with hanging electrical wires is nice, but it comes at a price.

These single push button coffee makers only ever require the user to add grounds to the basket and a filter if needed. The water is supplied automatically, and brewing begins. Some of the more expensive built in coffee makers will even have a bean grinder built in, so you can add coffee beans, and enjoy the freshest coffee grounds for you cup of joe. All that’s needed is an added filter if the machines doesn’t use a permanent one.

Some Less Expensive Models Not Plumbed

Now since we all don’t like the lifestyles of the rich and famous there are some less expensive built in coffee maker models. For those not wanting to spend thousands of dollars, there are under the cabinet models for a few hundred dollars. If you shop hard enough though you can find a buy on a Hardwired and plumbed built in coffee maker. Brew Express makes a model such as this for around $450.00.

An easy way to have a built in coffee maker is simply a coffee maker placed in a nook cut out of the wall. The plug still connects to a regular wall plug, and most machines will need to be removed from the nook in order to have water added to brew. While this might not really seem like a built in coffee maker, it does get it off the counter top. A unique way to get your conventional coffee maker off the counter is to purchase a bracket available that mounts a regular coffee maker to hang from under a cupboard, or other surface.

Of course there are advantages to the more expensive models, then just more counter top space. A plumbed coffee maker is self filling so the correct volume of water is always added. Just add fresh coffee grounds and brew. Now another unique feature, not directly related to coffee is that many of these pre wired coffee makers will also have an additional plug built into the front adding more electrical outlets in your kitchen

The reality is that if you’re a hardcore coffee lover then a built in coffee maker that is plumbed and wired into your home could be worth while. For the average person that makes a pot when guests are over or on weekends it’s probably not the best few hundred bucks you can spend. There are many excellent under cabinet and counter top coffee makers available. Take the time to research the features you’d be interested in and shop around. Shopping comparison sites are an excellent tool to use for researching prices and features.
