One of my favorite subjects to talk about is….. COFFEE! But you probably knew the right? Well, my friend Elia from Conservamom helped gather together some cool bloggers like myself so we could all talk about coffee. Read on for more info.
Single-serve coffee systems have become very popular but many suffer from a few drawback : weak coffee, the ability to brew only a small cup at a time, and most notably, flawed coffee capsule designs and water heating systems. Touch Coffee & Beverages is re-inventing the single-serve coffee platform with the release of its ground-breaking Touch® T526S brewer and re-engineered capsules. Not only do Touch’s easy-to-use systems brew superior-tasting, coffee shop-quality coffee in significantly less time than current machines, but they are also open platform. This means that the brewers are fully compatible with any cup at all—from existing Keurig K-Cups® to generic cups, in addition to Touch’s ground-breaking XBold Cups™, XLarge Cups™ and reusable Refill Jumbo Cup™.
According to the National Coffee Association USA, the brewing water temperature for a good cup of coffee is “between 195-205 degrees Fahrenheit for optimal extraction.” The Touch® T526S brewer reaches this ideal temperature by using its Flash Heating system and starts brewing in under 20 seconds after being off all night. Plus, Touch heats just enough water for the selected cup size as opposed to the entire tank of water, and the machine turns itself off after using, making it more energy efficient than its competitors.
Compared to most K-Cups®, which only fit up to 12.5 grams of coffee, XBold Cups ™ pack up to 15 grams of coffee and XLARGE CUPS™ provide up to 18 grams of coffee. Flavor Grooves swirl the coffee grinds to release bold aromas and flavors. The Refill Jumbo Cup™ packs up to 40 grams of your favorite coffee grounds—ideal for filling a carafe or large travel mug.
With Touch, you can customize your coffee experience and brew larger cups of coffee without sacrificing flavor. The T526S brewer allows you to choose from eight cup sizes (6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, or 18 ounces and carafe). Plus, its removable 90-ounce water tank has a greater capacity and is shorter in height than its counterparts, meaning you will be refilling less often, and it will be less awkward when you do.
