Totally NH&FR - Coffee pot

[Deleted]

My coffee pot is dead. Well, it's about to be, because I'm about to kill it for making me luke warm coffee. 

Recommend your coffee pot. I don't want a Keurig, we did that, I'm over it. I'd get the same one, but I can't find it anywhere and I don't think they make it anymore.

I'm no help. I have a french press and a Keurig. I hate Keurig coffee so I use my own reuseable filter.

French press all the way!

I love my Cuisinart Grind and Brew. It grinds the beans right into the filter. Makes a super hot cup of coffee (scalding, actually). I had my last one for 8 years before it died. I have the basic one, not the one with the Burr grinder in it. My parents have that one. It works the same as mine, but you can load beans in and it will grind however many cups you set it for. So, slightly more convenient, but for more $$.

I have a french press as well. Best coffee ever.

Jumping in here.  Does it beep when done brewing?  I have been thinking about a Cuisnart coffee pot but have been turned off by it beeping.  I don't want my coffee to wake up a toddler and baby!

We have a cuisinart grind and brew, a french press, and a chemex. The chemex is my favorite. Grind and brew least favorite.

I'll be replacing the cuisinart with a bonavita the next time we get a bb&b coupon in the mail.

I use an electric percolator. No complaints at all about the quality, plus no waste from filters and the internals are dishwasher safe.

We're as of recently on our 3rd one of these of our marriage (so, 7.5 years):

www.amazon.com/KRUPS-FME214-Programmable-Coffee-Control/dp/B0007Y6BO8 

We got the first one as a wedding/shower gift, and we've been buying replacements as needed at BB&B with 20% off coupons.  For the price, they do the job well for an acceptable amount of time.  We keep getting the same one for that reason and also because now we have a couple matching carafes.  Useful for when we a) break one (BTDT) or b) are entertaining and want to make < 12 cups of coffee to serve.

Which one? This is what we have now, kind of, and we loved it! It lasted like 10 years, minus the 3 we didn't use it much while we had a keurig.

Do you want the 20% coupon that I have now? We're not going to use it.

I have about 100 of them, you can use expired ones

It makes 3 or 4 short beeps, but that's it, and not loudly. I would say the grinding is louder. We don't have a problem with either, though. We have a ranch style house that is pretty open concept, and DS sleeps through it.

They're cracking down on that, the new coupons have "10% off after X date" instead of 20%.

I'm the only at-home coffee drinker, so we have a Farberware 4-cup model. I'll link when I get on my regular computer - linking from the phone is a PITA.  Here's the link: www.amazon.com/Farberware-FCP240-2-4-Cup-Percolator-Stainless/dp/B00008ELEA/

We've had this one since we moved here ... so May 2011 ... and its still going strong.

This doesn't help my coupon hoarding tendencies.  Now I have to hold onto my coupons that don't say anything about the 10%

I got one free from some gevalia deal I saw on brads deals. Works well and it was free... I like free

It's ok. It's not urgent. We don't use our auto coffee maker much anyway. Though maybe we would if it made better coffee? I'm cool with my chemex for now.

I really want to try this, at least for weekends. Do you use this exclusively? I was just wondering about feasibility of doing it in the mornings.
I agree- best tasting coffee!

[hannahb]

Not much to add but coffee has been shown to improve athletic performance making this very much H&F related. Not "totally NH&FR" like the subject says

We use a french press and it's not a huge deal. We pre-grind the beans and freeze the grounds, and then boiling water to pour over the grounds in the press doesn't take that long.

I don't even pregrind the beans. Once it became habit I think I put the kettle on to boil and grind the beans half asleep.

I do have an insulated french press as the glass ones lose heat faster than I can drink my coffee.

We have a semi-industrial Bunn. LOVE it. Lasts for years and years, and it only takes about 90 seconds to make a pot. I wouldn't recommend this unless you make coffee nearly everyday , because it holds water in the chamber.

[InBetweenDays]

We used to have a Cuisinart Grind & Brew and I really wasn't a fan. We had to remove the beans and clean the entire thing regularly or it would overtop and we'd have coffee all over our counter. The grinding wouldn't wake H or the kids up, but it definitely woke me up. I think we had it for about 4 years before we got rid of it. We now just have a fairly basic Hamilton Beach maker and have been happy with it.

[andrealynn]

At work I use a french press. At home I have one that can either do single cup or a full pot. The single cup side can either be kcups or just regular grind with a little basket. I love it.
