Bella One Scoop One Cup Coffee Maker

As a blonde gal that is pretty picky about her kitchen appliances, I must admit that it was love at first sight when I saw the Bella One Scoop One Cup Coffee Maker in Turquoise! I actually think it is more of a teal color like one of the colors of our local Jacksonville Jaguars. I love that color so much that I painted my Florida Room in a variation hue.

I finally found a new coffee maker that has a lot of style! It is the Bella One Scoop One Cup Coffee Maker in a pretty turquoise color. I actually think the color is a teal blue, but whatever color you call this, it is extremely stylish! Perhaps turquoise is not your color? Well, this coffee maker comes in other sharp colors of red, lime green, purple, and black.

I actually picked the model in this color because it reminds me of the Jacksonville Jaguars team colors. You know, I'm JaguarJulie right?

Back in January 2012, I stopped drinking coffee after some fifty years of drinking the stuff. Yep, all those years -- I actually started at the age of ten. They say it will stunt your growth, but I don't think it had that effect on me.

So, after I stopped drinking coffee, I donated my 8-cup glass carafe unit to the Goodwill. I honestly didn't think I'd ever be drinking the stuff again. But, fast forward to two plus years and I'm back on the stuff.

I can't tell you how many months I have been looking at a variety of models, including the Keurig. I honestly wasn't sure I wanted to go the route of the k-cups ... it seems so expensive!

WHAT I LOVE ABOUT THIS

1. First of all, you know I love the teal blue!
2. Secondly, I am mad about how it is a one scoop - one cup unit! I love the ability to make that ONE cup whenever I want. It always felt odd to try and make one cup in my 8-cup unit!
3. Thirdly, it comes with a filter grounds holder - that means no buying disposable filters!
4. It's a cute size that fits on my counter next to my bean grinder. It measures 10-1/2 inches tall by 8 inches across by 5-1/2 inches wide. The power cord is 24 inches.
5. Oh, did I mention it comes with an attractive dark gray tall ceramic mug?

WHAT KIND OF COFFEE

After a two year plus abstinence, I have returned to Starbucks! I actually picked up Starbucks Dark French Roast Whole Bean Coffee.

It's got to be Starbucks, you know? And, if I can't find Starbucks, I will go for Dark Costa Rican Tarrazu, Whole Bean Coffee which I grind each morning in my Cuisinart DCG-12BC Grind Central Coffee Grinder.

P.S. Do you love that yellow and teal sunflower banner? I have color-coded it to match my unit. Plus it has beautiful sunflower blossoms from my flower garden. I love it!

What kind of coffee goes into my one cup maker? It has got to be Starbucks Dark French Roast Whole Bean Coffee! This is the actual kind that I am currently drinking. A roast that is a little dark, but oh so flavorful. Close your eyes and imagine you are in Paris, France! Ah, that's French Roast ... a darker, full-bodied flavor. And, it has to be whole beans so that you can grind your own when you need it.

How Do You Make Your Coffee?

1. A large pot of many cups.
2. A couple of cups.
3. One cup at a time!
4. I don't drink coffee.

So, what did you answer? How do you like my choice, particularly the color? Do you love your coffee? Have you seen this unit yet? What do you think of it? What kind of maker do you use?
