You know, I love gizmos. I love 'em. Sometimes, I can't resist them.

It is with this in mind that I was very happy to accept one of the most gizmo-laden coffee brewers you can find on the market today: the Capresso CoffeeTEC coffee brewer. This brewer is a swiss army knife of coffee brewers. It brews. It heats. It froths. It times. It filters. It dices. It slices... okay, it doesn't do those last two things. I would need a grinder to do that.

It sure is cool looking though.
