The really interesting thing about the KitchenAid coffee maker is the way it distributes water around the coffee beans. You see, most coffee makers have a single pipe with water trickling out of it, and that filters through the coffeee. This works well enough, but you often find that if you take the coffee capsule out afterwards and look at it, you can see that the particles of coffee around the edges did not even get wet. This is especially true for coffee makers in which the water enters the capsule from the side; gravity means that none of the coffee above the point where the water enters gets wet. So you've basically wasted a portion of the coffee.
KitchenAid have tried to solve this problem with the JavaSpa showerhead mechanism. This holds the coffee in a wide, broad bowl and literally showers down water on it from above, from multiple pipes.
