How do you wash the whole machine? Do you use paper filters made for the percolator?

It’s just a carafe with a stick in it and a stainless steel basket. All the parts come out and can be quickly hand washed. Then I reassemble it (put the stick in the hole, basket on top of the stick), put the little paper filter in (you can buy the percolator ones or I just cut regular filters down to smaller circles), dump in your coffee and put the lid on.

Moccamaster w/thermal carafe.

I love my zojirushi, it’s an insulated carafe instead of a burner which is essential imo.

Grind beans in hand grinder, pour over. Simple, costs $10.

We use Trader Joe ground. Used to grind our own. And a Black and Decker type drip. Works great.

I’m slumming it. I got a Capresso burr grinder for $100 and a Cuisinart Drip for $50 both at Costco about 5 years ago. Works for me.

Technivorm Moccamaster.

I was just complaining that my Cuisinart coffee isn’t hot enough.

Moccamaster! Closest to pour-over you can get in a machine.

I roast my own coffee beans (organic from Ethiopia) at home, grind them in my baratza+, and make a simple pour over cup. Amazing and simple.

Following. I would also love a good recommendation. I’ve had numerous Cuisinarts, which I have liked, however they seem to need replacing every year and a half or so.

We like our Cuisinart that grinds the beans.

Please recommend your sensibly priced coffee maker! I’m looking for something simple (but not keurigish - ground coffee or beans) that’s under $400, preferably under $300. A timer would be great. Thanks!
