When you think of what the idea of the perfect coffee maker do you think of one that cost hundreds of dollars? What do you think of when you think of that perfect cup of coffee? To me the concept of a free coffee maker sounds best because its - well, free. Stop and ask yourself what a $500 coffee pot can do for you that a cheaper free coffee pot can’t do? Hopefully you answered; nothing.

I’ve seen hundreds of coffee pots and coffee makers deals that I simply cannot understand. The idea of a coffee pot costing hundreds of dollars to me just seems absurd. Don’t get me wrong I understand that art of a classic espresso machine with all the bells and whistles. I also understand the concept of a french press coffee maker as it allows the coffee to become silky smooth. What I could never figure out is why someone would buy a coffee maker that costs hundreds of dollars outside the specialty pots. I mean what can an expensive regular coffee maker do that a regular free coffee maker couldn’t?

The concept has been around for years, mark up sells. You might be asking, what do I mean? Its a precieved value and thats merely it. It is believed that a free coffee maker must be useless and cheap. The belief also holds true that an expensive coffee makers makes better coffee. Again barring specialty coffee makers, a coffee maker is simply a coffee maker. Whether free nor paid they both would achieve the same results. You pour the coffee into the coffee pot add water and brew the coffee withing 10 minutes as there is no difference.

We are taught at a young age about perceived value. Perhaps we’ve seen all the scams out there and are simply afraid that something labeled as free really isn’t free. You may even feel that a free coffee maker is going to somehow be sub-par from the expensive ones. Could it be the design of a coffee maker that could be the draw? Look at Gevalia a company that has been around for years giving away a free coffee maker. Gevalia offers stainless steel coffee makers that match the look of the fancier expensive coffee pots. Or even look more recently to companies like Cafe Belmondo that bring value and a good coffee pot to the table free and have thousands of customers a year signing up to get theirs. No matter how you look at it a free coffee makers is just as useful as a expensive coffee maker. Besides in todays market everyone offers a refund if you don’t like something you purchased - even if its free.

In the world of printers there are two major types: Inkjet and Laser. While there are other subcategories for each type, these are the major distinctions. Each printer uses a different type of cartridge to make them run: for an Inkjet printer you need an ink cartridges, for a laser printer you need a toner cartridge.

Ink Cartridge

Inkjet printers are the more commonly used printer, due to the fact that they are usually several times less expensive than a laser printer. One drawback to inkjet printers, though, is that the cartridge will need to be replaced more often than with the toner cartridge of a laser printer.

When printing with an average inkjet printer, ink is moved from the cartridge and very gently applied to the paper, to create whatever text, pictures, etc. the print job calls for. The ink itself is in a liquid form, and thus one danger is that the ink may dry up. For most modern ink this is not a major problem unless the printer lies in disuse for extended periods of time.

A cartridge is basically just a little box that holds the ink. They are generally fairly small in size and rectangular in shape. However, as each printer holds its cartridges differently, the exact size and shape will vary.

If you are using a black and white printer, you will require only one cartridge for the printer. For color printers, however, you may require two or more cartridges, depending on the make and model of the printer. Some printers will hold all of the ink in separate pouches of a single cartridge. Other models will provide a cartridge for black ink, and a second cartridge which contains the colored ink. It is also possible that a separate cartridge is provided for each different color. The number of colors used by your printer is usually three, although it can be larger for higher quality color printers.

A relatively new type of ink printer is the solid ink printer. As the name suggests these printers use a specially developed solid form which is then essentially melted onto the page as printing requires. Solid ink printers do not require a cartridge instead the ink comes in solid sticks that are placed directly in the printer.

The price varies widely, however it is usually somewhere in the range of $20-$60. They usually have a lifespan of a few months or so.

Toner Cartridges

Unlike inkjet printers, laser printers don’t use ink, they use a special powder referred to as toner, like is used in a photocopier. Laser printers are several times more expensive than their inkjet counterparts, but print much more quickly and quietly.

Although a toner cartridge will usually last much longer than a cartridge, they do eventually run out of powder and must be replaced. Toner cartridges are much larger than ink cartridges, often almost as long as the printer itself.

Just as laser printers are more expensive than inkjet printers, so are toner cartridges more expensive than ink cartridges. While an average ink cartridge will cost somewhere between $20 and $60, a toner cartridge will cost usually at least $100. However, a toner cartridge will generally last much longer than an ink cartridge, a couple of years if not more, depending on how often you use it.
