题目内容:
根据以下材料回答:More people than ever are drinking coffeethese days-but in small quantities than they used to. Some manufacturers ofcoffee makers are trying to make advantage of this trend by developingdiminutive machines that brew( 煮 ) smaller amounts of coffee. Two U.S. appliance companies--Black& Decker, basing in Towson, Maryland, and Toastmaster Inc. of Columbia,Missouri--has recently introduced "drip" coffee makers that brew oneor two cup servings of coffee. Neither of the products brew the coffee directlyinto a cup or mug, eliminating the need for a separate carafe. Since manypeople make a pot of coffee in the morning and drink only a single cup, the newcoffee makers should reduce the wasted coffee. Black & Decker'sCup-at-a-Time spends $27, while Toastmaster's Coffee Break retails for $20.
Black & Decker also makes a coffee maker dripscoffee directly into a carry-around thermal carafe. The carafe, a glass vacuumbottle, is supposed to keep the coffee fresh for hours. The product, called theThermal Carafe Coffee-maker, comes with a built-in lid that opens during thebrewing process, closes when it is completed. There are several models, includingone that fits under the counter, ranging from $60 to $110 at price.
