Yul Lose Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 The coffee maker that we’ve been using for the last 15 years or so finally died and Mrs. Lose bought one of the dual mode models. It will make 12 cups in a carafe or a single cup using the pods or ground coffee in a filter pod. I used it yesterday to make a single cup in the afternoon and I was very impressed. Anyone else using one of these? Ours is Hamilton Beach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perro Del Diablo Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 I have a carafe coffee maker and a Keurig I use both. The single cup pod is good for in a hurry and only need fill my 20 oz tumbler. My coffee of choice is black rifle coffee company CAF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc X Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 Was just looking at a similar machine from Keurig this morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyrus Cassidy #45437 Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 We have one at work, and I'm constantly buying a stash of Keurig cups. At home we use a traditional carafe. However, my camping gear includes an old fashioned percolator. I swear, the percolator makes the best coffee!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With this one we have our choice. One thing I especially like is the easy cleaning of the needles. The Keurig we had before this got clogged up to where I couldn’t clear it out. A side note. I’m sure many know this, but for anyone with a K cup type machine. DO NOT LEAVE THE USED CUP IN THE MACHINE. As the machine cools it will suck up the grounds into the top needle and the water channel above the needle. Once the grounds are dried in the upper channel it is a b...ch to get them out. I found our last Keurig was impossible to disassemble enough to reach all the piping. Finally trashed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chili Ron Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 Howdy, The press type coffee maker is my favorite. Ive used it in the woods of Upper Michigan, camping and in my kitchen every day. The glass ones can shatter, its quite a mess. Now they are available made of steel. INsulated. And I grind coffee beans as needed. Make a quart a cup or whatever. Once the coffee is brewed I pour my cup and store the rest in a preheated thermos, also steel. If the coffee cools, a few seconds in the microwave heats it nicely. Ive tried a lot of different makers. Best CR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subdeacon Joe Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 We've had one of those for about 20 months now. Great little rig. One issue to be aware of is that the tube from the reservoir to the head is held on by a rather weak clamp at the top. It is a bit of a pain to get to it to fix it if it slips off. Check YouTube for DIY videos for how to get the back open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henry T Harrison Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 Since I’m the only coffee drinker in the house and I seldom drink more than one cup the K cups make sense to me. Even a small 4 cup pot was a waste. I’d like to try Black Rifle Coffee but it’s out of my price range Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Utah Bob #35998 Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 I’m convinced that a French press makes the best. But my wife seldom drinks coffee anymore so I switched to a drip machine that makes 1 cup...also a Hamilton Beach. I use AK from Black Rifle with the coffee club monthly subscription. Free shipping.

Utah Bob #35998 Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 I compared the price of pods to loose coffee. No pods for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a small basket that you use for loose coffee in place of the pods, works great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD Lud Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 If you're feeling brave read on..... Wife has wanted an espresso type machine for a while and I am a believer of buy a bit over the top shall we say. Between her and 2 daughters and a million Starbucks and other coffee shops around me I could make a car payment with latte money. Alas, a few moths ago I signed up for a bed bath and beyond 20% off coupon and when I was in Oregon (no sales tax) I picked up the Breville Barista Touch for her. She loves that thing, use it tons, and she doesn’t like the taste of Starbucks anymore compared to her own (like me and my smoker). Now I only drink coffee....but I make the Americano on this and it’s much smoother than drip....i haven’t turned the coffee pot on since having it. expensive but paying for itself....probably already...

Clay Mosby Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 Yul, we have the same machine and love it. We buy the pods at Sams Club and the cost is reasonable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Too Tall Bob Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 Get these if you have a k cup machine. You can fill them with what ever coffee you desire. 1 for single cup the other for your carafe. Made by Eco-Carafe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
