In recent years, we’ve seen a decline in the rate of numbers of people who skip breakfast in Canada. That’s a good thing, since nutritional and weight-loss experts both agree that breakfast is essential to health and fitness goals. We are a busy bunch though, with 80% of Canadians preparing breakfast in 5 minutes or less. It makes sense, then, that Hamilton Beach – a leader in innovative kitchen products – has figured out how to help Canadians get out the door faster, with food in their stomach to start the day.
In the drive-thru, coffee is still the number one item ordered in the mornings but breakfast sandwiches are a close second and is the fastest growing breakfast item ordered. At my local favorite stop, a large coffee and breakfast sandwich is an even $5.00. Multiply that by 5 days a week after the school drop-off and you’re looking at $100/month on coffee and breakfast sandwiches alone. Ouch!
The Hamilton Beach Dual Breakfast Sandwich Maker
Back to coffee (“Back? I’ve never left you, coffee!”) – preparing coffee at home seems like a no brainer but many of us still seem to stop at the drive-through for our java even though, cup for cup, it costs more and the waiting time in the lines can be pretty silly. The Hamilton Beach 12 Cup Programmable Coffeemaker makes it so easy to make your coffee at home, you pretty much have zero excuse to hit the drive through line. After all, what can be easier than having your coffee brewed and waiting for you when you walk into the kitchen in the morning?
Of course, the snazzy metallic red color helps draw me to having a coffeemaker at home too – in addition to the savings!
Going back to a carafe-style coffee machine means figuring out your ideal strength (1 TBSP per 8oz of coffee or 2?) but it also opens up the opportunity to grind your own coffee at home as well with the Hamilton Beach CustomGrind Coffee Grinder
On-the-go breakfasts is an emerging trend for 2015/2016 and Hamilton Beach has you covered. Another new product that’s just hitting the shelves is the new Breakfast Wrap Maker! While I haven’t had the opportunity to try it myself, this post from Steph at Life In The Suburbs has me craving wraps! Psst, you can win one at her site too!
