help!!! I need a coffee maker!

[Anonymous]

Capresso
Bonavita
Moccamaster
They all brew at the right temp and have smaller models that slow the drip from smaller batches so the brew time is correct.
Yoh don’t want something that brews too fast at a lower temp and then covers the coffee hotter on the warming circle.

I have been eyeing this for a long while but it’s expensive. Do you like it? Worth the $?

If you have the extra time. Day to day automatic with a timer you can set the night before is the way to go.

French Press (Frieling stainless steel) or Moccamaster for daily coffee making.

Definitely French Press. Otherwise it tastes like plastic unless you have a very pricey machine.

Cheap Mr. Coffee for us.

I love my Zojirushi coffee maker. Its compact design saves space, it makes great-tasting coffee, and you can buy the water-filter discs on Amazon.

We also use a cheap Mr. Coffee.
But what we do after the pot of coffee is brewed is we pour the coffee into thermoses. One 12 cup pot fills up 1 and 1/3 thermoses. The thermoses keep the coffee hot and fresh tasting for 24 hours.

P.S. -- I am newly retired with too much time on my hands. A couple months ago I calculated out how much a cup of coffee brewed at home costs. It came to 11 cents per 10 ounce cup. 9 cents per cup for black coffee with no creamer or sugar.
I counted how many pots of coffee I was able to make from a regular sized canister of Folgers. I measured how many ounces of coffee I was getting from my pot (Turns out that the "cup" size markings on my Mr. Coffee are actually for 5 1/3 ounce size cups of coffee).

Ha Ha! Yeah I figured it must have been recognizable. DH and I were both career military. Now we both sit at home collecting our military pensions, which we can live on just that if we live frugally. That gives me plenty of time to surf DCUM and also calculate random expenses.

+1. My favorite. I put a smart plug on it. I can start it from bed in the morning or after my shower. I love coming downstairs to freshly made coffee. You need a machine with a toggle switch for on/off, not a button you push to start.

+2 for Mr. Coffee! I bought it as a back up to my Chemex for when we have company, but now I use it most of the time. Pretty sure it was less than $20. Chemex just took too long once I had kids!

Love the smart plug idea!
