Subdeacon Joe Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 For everyday a Hamilton Beach Flexbrew. And we use either Folgers or Yuban, whichever is the less expensive when we need more. When we want upscale, it's Peets in a French Press. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie Harley, #14153 Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 Pour-over through a cone filter in a basic plastic filter holder. My wife was doing it that way when we met. She likes a potent cup. I like mine a little more mild. I make one cup for each of us in the morning. No K-cup waste. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rip Snorter Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 If it was just me, I'd get a smaller percolator. I have a Bunn with a gold plated filter in the back of a high cabinet. Last time I ran it was when we had contractors on site. Easy to put up the coffee at night and turn on a burner in the morning. I can remember my Grandfather grinding beans by hand in the morning and firing up the pot. I still have his grinder, though I haven't used it in years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpo Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 (edited) I had one of those bunnamatics. Actually, I had three of them. The old lady took one of them when she left. And then oneWHEN number three decided to leak everywhere (by then it was about 12 years old), I went down to get another one. And they had increased from $35 to $150. And I decided it wasn't that good of a coffee pot. Edited August 19 by Alpo 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pat Riot Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 We have a Mr. Coffee coffee maker. It’s got a clock and you can set it to brew at a certain time, but we don’t use that function as we get up when we want. Occasionally and in the winter I break out my old aluminum camping percolator and make coffee on the stove. I make fairly strong coffee whenever I make it or set up the coffee maker. My wife used to make less strong coffee, but she has come over to the dark side these past few years. Her coffee used to be medium (I think that is the best word for it). It wasn’t weak but it wasn’t strong. Funny story about my ratty old aluminum percolator. When we were moving from CA to WV my wife and daughter were in the garage. I had walked out our front door and was coming up to the front of the garage. The roll up door was open. I heard the following exchange: My wife said “ What are you doing?” My daughter; “I am getting rid of some of these old things like you asked.” ”Oh No, No, No don’t you put that coffee pot in the recycling bin. Your Dad will have a fit if that coffee pot gets tossed out.” ”But Mom,, this thing is hideous.” ”That's okay. That’s your Dad’s coffee pot. He loves that thing.” ”But this thing is old. It was old when he bought it for a dollar at the swap meet. It’s all dented up. You could just get him a new one when you get to West Virginia.” ”Okay, you can toss it, but first you have to tell your Dad that your tossing it.” Silence… ”Mom, do you want me to pack it with the kitchen stuff or the camping stuff?” I will take a photo of it in the morning and post it on here. It’s the best coffee pot in the world. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 Depends on which one I pick each day. A Hamilton Beach electric percolator is usually the one I grab first. After that is a Mr. Coffee or a Magic Chef super fast water heater( that I use for tea or instant coffee. Once in awhile I use the Magic Chef to make soups or instant meals.) Then there is my favorite, but seldom used, French press. It makes the best coffee when I get lucky enough to get the formula and procedure down right. Once in a while I luck out. I got one when I was in Iwakuni, Japan and found a little tiny Japanese coffee shop, with a lady small enough to fit the image of the place, and she used one. I went out and bought one just like hers. and the little darlin' tried to teach me how to make coffee. There may have been a a language barrier that I could get passed. It didn't survive the trip home and I've had a half dozen others since. The Waffle and More down the street, Jen's, and Nana's all make great coffee. Two places I go to because I belong to groups that use them are Denny's and Zeke's Eatin' Place, and mom and pop cafe over by Safeway. All of them make really GOOd food, but mediocre coffee. Got to go make some coffee before I take a road trip in about an hour. (You know, I don't really like coffee but I need something to make the sugar easier to eat.) 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colorado Coffinmaker Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 KEURIG K-Cup machine. However, I refuse to use those disposable K Cups. Mine are reusable K Cup things that take a paper filter.

Superb coffee you betcha. My reusable K-Cups have a permanent screen filter in them so I don't need the paper. I have dozens of them and its just a different kind of reloading. I then use the used coffee grounds as filler. My pods cost 8 cents to fill Vs the cheapest I can get on Amazon at 25, or Starbucks at well over a dollar each.

J.D. Daily Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 Prior to retiring I used a Starbucks brand espresso/cappuccino machine to make a double wet cappuccino. The misses would make a cup of Maxwell House Cafe Francis instant coffee. After retiring I'd make the double cap & cafe americano using the machine. She didn't like it so we used the Mr Coffee to make 8 cups. I have a Mr Coffee and a coffee press in the motor home and a Melita drip pot, insulated french press and a macchinetta the off grid Martin family cabin. I guess per Modoc's meme I am not into abstract art (true), subscribe to the New Yorker (NOT!), faking fancy (not), believe vinyl produces best sound quality (not), am a geratric Italian (geriatric yes, Italian no). The macchinetta was given to me by a 1st generation Italian American so I could make a cup of cappuccino off the grid. I found that a french press makes better tasting coffee than drip in small batches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife's dad had worked at one of the NIKE sites on the Marin Headlands, Site 88, back in the '60s. Eventually it got shut down as a military base and transferred to the Golden Gate National Recreation Area. Fast forward to the late 1990s. Site 88 was being turned into a museum/working display, with one launcher restored to being able to take a dummy missile and raise it on the platform, etc. We went down for a work party - weeding, cleaning, painting, etc. Potluck lunch, but pastries provided for breakfast. We knew it would be cold, so we had something to heat up for lunch, so we brought our folding camp kitchen, Coleman stove, and most of our camp cooking gear. There was no water (although we had brought 10 gallons) and no electricity. Worst of all - NO COFFEE! A lot of these people came from military families and NOBODY THOUGHT TO BRING COFFEE. Well, at about 0815 our camp kitchen came out, stove got started, and our good old WareEver percolator (similar to this) was filled and started doing its job. Must have made 5 or 6 pots that morning. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Riot Posted August 20 Share Posted August 20 @Subdeacon Joe quite often on my old hunting / camping trips I made new friends via the smell of fresh perked coffee wafting through the campground. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
