that thing looks like it takes up counter space , call me when they learn how to incorporate it into my cupboard space

They did have a built in one there for a comparable price. Just have to have it where you can run water lines.

Is there any other way to drink coffee?

maybe if youre still living in 2008

After going through countless drip machines over the years that die we finally just bought a 20 cup percolator. (like community halls use). Second to none coffee, have it on a timer. New pot every 3 or 4 days. Wrapped it in fuel line(non flammable) insulation, stays hot as hades.

Nah, more like about 1969. It was a good year. As far as black coffee goes, beats all hell out of adding some chemically flavoured creamer and sweetener. Same as putting some sort of sauce on your over cooked steaks.

Always best the 2nd day....if it lasts that long. Depends on the size of your coffee cup.

Went ot a SB in Detroit, once, wife went in brought back 2 coffees. I go to put in a pkg of sugar and the damn stuff looked like crystal met, so shes goes back in to get reg sugar,,,well she comes back and says lets go
?????
She said she was a bit huffy when she ask the colored server for white sugar, got a dirty look lol
I said yeah lets go

For work we were in Chicago and ordered sandwiches and one of us asked for white bread. She stopped, looked long at us then asked "soooo where you all from...." we say Canada, so she explains around hear it's called wheat bread. And the guy who ordered, still not getting it, asked why! He got a kick under the table...we did get good service, and we left a big tip.

$40 Sunbeam basket drip filter, basic controls on the bottom.. They seem last about 5 years or so for us, and we make a full pot everyday, twice on weekends. My little 'trick' is to let a 1/4 cup water drip through before adding the coffee to preheat the drip basket and pot, then I add the coffee.
We had the $100 fancy one from Costco for a while, it still broke in 5 years.

I also use a Mellita single cup drip, cone filter, at work but haven't been there in a while.

12+ cup, put it on the fire and just add water and coffee when needed. Much better than instant.

youre not making any sense

I have my great Grandma's percolator by Corningware, great for camping. I don't use a drip machine but love my expresso latte machine, and use it every day, and it was under 200.00 bucks.

Just bought my wife an electric percolator after the keurig died. Had great reviews and was a reasonable price.
Was going to get another keurig for her but the reviews weren't great. Common complaint was it only making a half cup. We had 2 K machines pretty much go at the same time so I felt it may be time for a change.

Not as convenient though if in a hurry but not bad.

You can fix that, at least temporarily by manually resetting the pump. There's lots of videos on youtube on how to do it. I've done it many times and it does work for varrying amounts of time. Once you can't be bothered anymore it's time to get a new machine.

Mr. Coffee five cup. It is all about the coffee you use and a balance between the amount of coffee and the amount of water you use.

 

[Lincoln]

we had the same coffee maker for like 20 years. It just died about 2 months ago and we bought one on Amazon called a "Ninja". So far it's working well.

The one didn't owe us anything as it was about 10 years old.

I've been quite pleased with the Heritage drip that I bought for about 80 bucks at Canadian Tire a couple years ago. Having said that I tend to get about 3 years out of a maker no matter how much I spend. We stayed with a good friend a few weeks ago and he had this monster:

Grinds the beans on demand and makes all kind of variations of drinks. The coffee it made was very good but I'm quite happy with a $6 can of Maxwell House and a $50 machine. I drink a lot of black coffee and find the most important factor is how much you use in the basket - lots 🥴 .

Often how long a coffee maker lasts has more to do with your water quality than the coffee maker quality. If you’re only getting 2-4 years out of a coffee maker, you might consider investing in filtration instead of a more expensive coffee maker.

So it will make sense to you, "As far as black coffee goes, it beats all hell etc., etc." There, that better for you now?

They are among the best and seem to get passed down over the generations.

I swear, coffee is one of the true wonders of the world.

Anything bonavita. One button, constant temperature, built like a tank, little to no moving parts.
