Customer Reviews of Zelco Brisk Brew Travel Coffeemaker
Customer Rating:   Summary: Disappointing - sent it back Comment: I really dislike the coffeemakers in hotel rooms - I've seen how the housekeeping staff "cleans" them, and I've also seen what some guests do to them, so I avoid the hotel coffeemakers. I wanted a coffeemaker that would easily fit in my overnight bag, and the Zelco seemed like the perfect match. Unfortunately, it didn't work out. As others have noticed, the power button is a little strange. At first I didn't think it actually worked, like some other reviewers thought, but I did finally get the hang of it. The coffeemaker does a good job of heating water to a temperature sufficient for tea, instant hot chocolate, or instant soup. When it comes to coffee, the story changes. I use a coffee that is ground very fine, and I like it strong. The Zelco seems to have a problem with this. Because of the grind and the amount, a significant portion of the coffee grounds escaped the filter during brewing, ending up in my cup. I found that I would have to change to a coarser grind, AND reduce the strength, in order for the Zelco to keep most of the grounds in the filter. Non-starter for me. I guess I'm stuck with toting a larger pot, or hoping that the hotel coffeemaker isn't dirty or contaminated with some disgusting substance. Customer Rating: Summary: 5 years old and still going strong Comment: We are getting ready to go to Central America for the 5th year and once again our Zelco Brisk Brew will travel with us. This is a great little coffee maker as well as being tough as nails. It has survived lost luggage, floods, extreme heat and DAILY use for two people. It's the first thing I pack. If it ever quits working, I'll buy another! Customer Rating: Summary: This little coffee maker rocks! Comment: The Zelco Brisk Brew Travel Coffeemaker is perfect for the frequent traveler. It's small, lightweight, and brews a great cup of coffee. I'm a traveling musician, and take mine with me everywhere. I never have to worry about whether or not a hotel has a coffee maker, or what kind of coffee I'll be ingesting. I love this little brewer! Customer Rating: Summary: AWESOME!!! Comment: I bought this for a recent trip to Las Vegas, where the rooms have no coffee pots. I used the single serve coffee pods in mine and they worked great. The first cup took about 2 minutes to make, but after it was warmed up, it was only a minute between cups. It is so small and with it's own storage bag, packs easily. I highly recommend this product. Customer Rating: Summary: An answer to prayer Comment: My husband and I travel overseas a lot. The thing we miss the most is a good cup of coffee. We bought one for each of us and WE LOVED THEM! We were so surprised at what a good cup of coffee it made. We thought about buying several more to give to our friends who travel and to have as back-ups! I would recommend this product to everyone who LOVES coffee like my husband and I do. More Reviews BRISK BREW - ZELCO (ACCESSORY) 
Choosing Appliance -> Built-in Ovens The standard 60cm oven has been joined by various other sizes. Now consumers can choose from 60,70 and 90cm wide built-in single ovens. Always check the internal capacity shown in litres as well as the external dimensions. Choosing Appliance -> Food Processor This is a big ticket item, but worth its weight in gold. It will save so much time when it comes to simple chopping or more advanced preparations like mayonnaise. As with most things, buy quality-- it will last longer, be capable of tougher jobs, and give you less problems. To make the food processor easiest to use, leave it on the counter top instead of storing it in a cabinet. Zelco Brisk Brew Travel Coffeemaker
Useful info -> Kitchen tips Shelves or cabinets above the cook top can hold foods that aren't affected by warmth, such as pasta, rice, and cereal. A shelf just below these cabinets but above the cook top can transform the space into a cooking workshop, providing a handy resting place for timers, spices, cooking supplies and implements. |
