Mom-ninja. Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 What's yours? We don't make coffee everyday but at least 4x a week. DH drinks 2 mugs (big mug) and I drink 1 mug. So I don't need a coffee maker that makes 14 cups. The one we have now is so so slow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peri Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 Nothing beats a coffee press! This is absoutely the best way to have coffee! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carrie12345 Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 I'm going to plug Keurig again. http://www.keurig.com I drink 1 or 2 cups every day. Dh has 1 cup a few times a week. I like super extra dark. He likes wussy brown water. We both get our favorites in a matter of seconds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can either use the K-Cups or buy a special insert that allows you to use your own coffee. Dh doesn't drink coffee at all, so the Keurig allows me the flexibility of enjoying one cup or three cups or whatever and each one is fresh and hot. My second choice is the French Press, because they're wonderful too. Just not as convenient. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JudoMom Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 I like my Senseo. I would've loved a Keurig, but the Senseo was a bit cheaper. I use a refillable pod and my own coffee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 For generations :D our family has always used the Farberware Percolator. I have an 8C because I'm the only one who drinks coffee in our house, but I know there's a 12C and possibly a 4C? I recently purchased a regular coffee maker and was SO disappointed. My perccolator makes HOT coffee that stays hot. The coffee just tasted better in general, too. So, I vote Percolator! ETA: The whole thing perks in about 2 minutes and we just bought a wall timer from Home Depot, I make the coffee up the night before and voila! Fresh coffee every morning at 4:45.

dawn of ns Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 I just have a cheap Black & Decker but what I love about it and what I'd look for in any other coffee maker is that the coffee drips into a pot that's basically a thermos. No burner, the coffee stays hot for a long time and it stays good for a long time. I've reheated coffee from the previous day and it's good. I imagine because it seals shut and there's no constant heat under it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jane in NC Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 I have a Capresso with a stainless steel carafe. The coffee stays hot for a couple of hours in the carafe without being boiled to death as can happen with a glass carafe on a warming pad. Very happy with this machine.

Frontier Mom Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 The Barista was until mine broke and it had been discontinued. Now I have the replacement they gave me and it does have a thermal carafe which I love. I have had good luck with it!! I just bought me a Thermos pump for my school room!! I pour all the coffee from my pot in it and I have nice warm coffee all morning. I was tired of going up and down the steps as well as pouring out the coffee each night. It's been awesome. My own little coffee corner of the world. I use the Coffee Press lots, especially in the afternoon or evening. It makes a great cup of coffee too.

Harriet Vane Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 I loooooooooove my French press!!!! It really does make a superior cup of coffee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
susie in tx Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 I used to use my french press until I purchased a toddy. Love the toddy. It makes coffee concentrate and I keep it in the refrigerator. I add water and steamed milk and have my own latte. The coffee it makes is also less acidic than the coffee made by other methods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dh and kids bought it as my Mother's Day present. I like that it makes one cup at a time. I wasted so much coffee before. I am amazed at how long one canister of coffee lasts now. It's also nice because the coffee is fresh when you want it. I can't stand coffee with that burnt taste. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mom-ninja. Posted August 27, 2008 Author Share Posted August 27, 2008 Ok, I'm undecided between a percolator and a press. I used to have a perc and loved it. That was when I lived in Europe. I love the sound and smell of perc'ing coffee. As for a press...I've never tried one and I don't own a kettle, yet the majority is voting french press.
