Wake Up And Smell The Coffee…In Your Kitchen!
Wake Up And Smell The Coffee…In Your Kitchen!
There’s no doubt about it, coffee’s popularity has grown dramatically over the past couple of decades. Ever since US sitcom Friends introduced many of us to the notion of waking up and heading for their own versions of coffee shop Central Perk, we can’t seem to get enough of our morning brew.
Whatever your favourite – be in a blast of espresso, a skinny latte for the health conscious, a cappuccino, or something else – hoards of coffee shops were spinning up on every high street keen to fuel us for the day ahead. You only need to look at the number of Starbucks or Costa Coffee to know that it’s big business.
But, wouldn’t it be great to have that perfect coffee in the comfort of your own kitchen, rather than drinking on the go?
Maybe you should have a look at a built-in coffee machine in your kitchen?
Sales of these appliances have rocketed over recent years…and it’s to hard to see why. Now it’s easy, quick and convenient to make a coffee that any barista would be proud of, from the comfort of your own modern kitchen.
But that’s not the only benefit. Ever counted how much you spend on coffee each month? Well, let’s say you were to buy three cups of coffee a week, at a price of £2.50 per cup. That’s £7.50 per week. Times that by 52 and it’s just short of £400 per year. That’s a large amount of money for your morning ‘fix’.
Buying coffee to make in your new built-in machine is a much more cost effective way to drink. Sure, you’ll have the initial outlay of having one put into your kitchen, but it’s an investment that is going to last you for years.
Plus, you’ll have lots of fun perfecting your favourite drink…guaranteed.
Not enough benefits for you? Well, how about this. These machines are so sleek, so stylish and so sophisticated, that they’ll be a real stand-out feature in your kitchen, whether you are designing your kitchen from scratch, or simply want one built in to your existing kitchen. They add a real wow factor to a kitchen design.
And, as an additional plus, because they are built-in appliances, they save you from added clutter on your work surfaces. So, there’s more room to prepare food on, instead of a having a traditional worktop coffee machine.
Many built-in coffee machines come with LCD display panels, meaning they are very easy to use. That’s pretty handy if you need a coffee in the morning before you can function properly!
Plus, many machines have custom made settings, which means you can programme your machine to brew your favourite type and strength of coffee. And don’t worry about them being difficult to clean. That’s really a doodle, too.
And what’s even better news is that because of their recent surge in popularity, coffee makers are fighting for your business, meaning prices have fallen.
Our favourites? Well, we particularly like the Hotpoint HCM15, with touch pad controls, a coffee bean grinding programme and customisation options. It’s size means you can brew in anything from small espresso cups to large mugs.
Other machines to look out for are Smeg’s CMSC45, which comes complete with a milk frother arm as well.
But if you need any more help, advice, or just want to know if you can put one of these great machines into your kitchen, give us a call at My Beautiful Kitchen on 0141 771 3640
We’ll help you wake up and smell the coffee…..just as you like it.
