Capresso SG300 Coffee Maker

When it comes to coffee makers there is only one brand MamatheFox has looked at countless coffee maker reviews so it’s fair to say we know what’s good and what’s not! More often than not, Capresso is our favorite brand. We have been brewing coffee from their machines for years now and have only nothing but wonderful experiences. The machines are extremely high quality and very easy to use. For the SG300 MamatheFox was able to set up the clock and the auto timer without looking at the manual! This new model has a few bells and whistles that very much appeal to me. First off is the compact design. It easily fits on my counter without taking up too much precious counter real estate. It comes with a GoldTone reusable filter, so I no longer need to worry about buying filters and the waste they create. It comes with a charcoal water filter removes up to 82% of chlorine and other impurities from tap water. Then the 2-hour keep warm with auto safety shut-off is great as I often forget to turn off my machine when running out the door to get the kids to school on time. I never worry “did I leave the coffee machine on?” any more. MamatheFox drinks coffee daily, but her husband only drinks it on the weekends, so with this machine we are obsessed with the special setting it has to maximize flavor when brewing 1 to 4 cups. If you have a coffee lover on you holiday list then do then a solid and get them the new SG300.

Honey

I use honey often – but have you heard the buzz about Manuka honey? Manuka honey contains unique properties known to support digestive and immune health and help soothe coughs and sore throats. Comvita’s honey is traceable from hive to shelf. Each BPA-free jar of creamed Comvita Manuka Honey is non-GMO, Halal, Kosher certified, and always measured against UMF standards to ensure quality. Their honey comes from the nectar of the Manuka flower in the pristine forests of New Zealand. Comvita is certified UMF™ – Which is the gold standard. Every batch of Comvita Manuka Honey is independently tested by the UMF™ Honey Association. Only UMF™ measures the three signature compounds (Leptosperin, MGO and DHA) found in genuine Manuka Honey. Brands labeled as “Active”, “Bio-Active”, “5+” (without UMF™), or “KFactor” don’t comply to the same level of quality standards. If you are looking to impress a foodie this holiday season, gift them a jar of Manuja Honey from Comvita and drop a few of these facts.
