Starbucks Barista Utopia

The Barista Utopia is a great machine if you are a coffee enthusiast. It's kind of like the old percolator style, but with a modern twist. But becasue of the brewing process, you get the full flavor of the coffee, instead of just a "drip through".

When the system heats up, it pushes the water up the tube where the coffee grounds are waiting, then it boils the hot water and coffee grounds in a flurry of bubbling coffee goodness, then when the grounds have given all the flavor they could, the machine knows when to click off and "whoosh", all the coffee surges back into the carafe for your drinking pleasure.

It's quite a show to watch. It's great for entertaining. The only drawback is it takes a little more to clean it than a regular coffee maker. But the little coffee show is totally worth it.
