Default Coffee makers...

I've got an old Mr. Coffee maker that needs to be replaced.

Has anyone bought one recently that they're pleased with?

I don't really need a high-capacity version.
4-6 cups is all that's needed (actually, 4 or less).

WM sells a Farberware 5 cup unit for around 15 bucks . The current one I
have has auto-brew , auto shutoff , and a clock , none of which I find
useful . Makes enough coffee for me to have 2 big cups and a little to
share with the dog . He likes extra milk in his .

I use a French press, which is simple and preferred by most coffee aficianados.

I have a 12 "cup" Mr. Coffee. It makes perfectly adequate
coffee. I think it was $13.99 on sale at a Walmart-like
store. Its (identical) predecessor lasted about 4 years.
No bells or whistles.

Mr. Coffee's idea of a "cup" appears to be about 6 ounces.
My coffee cup holds 20 ounces, so I can get about 3 cups
out of a pot (leaving a little headroom so it doesn't
spill when I walk around the house).

I'm using a 12 dollar coffee maker from Dollar General, must have
made at least a couple of thousand gallons of coffee with it now.
Simple on/off switch. I run vinegar through it to clean it. Gawt
Damn... here it is ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oa6cEl1tkp8 ..
everything is on youtube now days. I splurge and buy paper coffee
filters.

Consumer Reports rates this as a Best Buy:
Hamilton Beach 12-cup Programmable 49465R $25. It rated a
79 compared to the top rated Cuisinart
DCC-3200 which scored 84. The Cuisinart is $100.

I have the identical Mr. Coffee. Just bought a couple of months ago to
replace one that lasted more than 5 years. I noticed minor
improvements. I put what is graduated as 7 cups of water in it to get
the two large cups (actually 2 cups in each).

My wife uses a Keurig mostly for tea. Nice machine but individual
disposable coffee or tea containers are pricey. You can buy refillable
containers cheap and use your own coffee. Only makes individual cups
but only takes a few minutes to make a cup. The large setting is not
enough to fill my big cup though. Keurig machine costs nearly 5X Mr.
Coffee.

The Hamilton Beach 46205 (now the 46201) 12-Cup is the best. You can choose to
brew down to 1-4 cups, but have capacity for guests or dinner parties (if ever
needed). I had one of their Brew Stations for most of this century and it made
any coffee the best it could be...amazing actually.

However, I couldn't find a new Brew Station model when the 1st finally died,
so I went with a $20 Black & Decker. Which, has been perfectly fine since I
had switched to Folgers Black Silk, I don't think that stuff can be made bad.

My coffee cup also holds about 20 ounces, and I have a 12 cup Mr Coffee too.
But I pour the water in from my cup, making a cup at a time.
My wife does the same with her smaller cup. She drinks a different brand, weaker coffee.
Filters are cheap, and once you find a measure of coffee that suits you, you're set.
Only time we make a full pot is when we have company.

That's pretty much the standard used by the industry, 6 ounces
of coffee is a cup. For example, if you buy dinnerware, the
coffee cups typically are sized to 6 ounces too.

I use a mug, so I'm at least a full 8 ounces in even the smaller mugs.

When I get really over the top I get green beans from Sweet Maria's and

After years of dark roasts I've found I like a lighter roast. More

I've never met a coffeemaker that I like.Â* The built-in hotplates give the coffee a burnt flavor after an hour or two of use.


Turns out a simple coffee filter funnel, a #6 paper cone filter and a 1 liter thermos bottle will make perfect coffee and keep it hot and fresh tasting all day.

mix their dark italian espresso with columbian peaks 50/50 and grind

prefer a burr grinder over the whirling blades , much easier to get a
uniform grind .Â* Only downside I've found is that restaurant coffee most
of the time is pretty weak - as my friend Wally said the other day "You

I usta.

I usta work right aroud the corner from their original Emeryville, CA,
location. Even once sold a NIB Poppery I. Now I have a Poppery II, but no
longer roast my own. Jes buy it from a local roaster.

caffeine too


More caffeine is usually a matter or whether it's a robusta or an
arabica, rather than the roasting/brewing method (some exceptions). I usta
drink straight Starbucks from our company cafeteria. Not cuz it
tasted good (ick!), but cuz it was a cheap robusta and had lotsa
caffeine to keep me awake in front of my computer.

Try Nestle's Instant Iced Tea mix. Wire you up, good! Jes make sure
yer close to a restroom.

I have French press, a Melitta pour-over cone also much touted by the experts, a percolator, a coffee maker that you put your own cup under, and a coffee maker that fills the carafe.

For the family I use the last one, about $10 at Walmart. I did buy a permanent filter rather than use the paper filters, because every once in a while the paper would fold over and drop grounds into the pot.

For myself I use a one quart mason jar. I put coffee and water in it, let it cold brew on the counter 24 hours, filter it through a coffee filter, and it keeps in the fridge. Mix with equal amount of water, microwave for 90 seconds, and I have a cup of much better tasting coffee than I can get with the other methods.

For some reason you triggered a memory.

Went into the woods on a hunt with BIL. After midnight. Before dawn we
were up making coffee. He called it John Wayne coffee. "Pour the
grounds in boiling water and strain it through your teeth." (G).

Pretty interesting.
What amounts of coffee + water do you use for the best results?


I looked at a lot of sites before I tried this.

The amounts varied a bit, but basically converged on 1 part coffee to 4 parts water if you measure by volume, 1 part coffee to 8 parts water if you measure by weight.

After a little experimenting I standardized on 10 scoops of coffee into the jar and fill it up with water. This is a standard coffee scoop supposed to make one cup. It holds 7 g of coffee if you're into metric. I stir it, wait for the bloom (that crust that forms on top), stir it again, and close the jar until time to filter.

Filtering is a bit of a pain because the grounds clog the filter. There's probably a better way but I just use a Melitta pour-over filter.

This makes concentrate, you want to dilute it 50/50 with water when you make it. It will keep a couple weeks in the refrigerator without a decline in quality.

LOL odd you go to an alt.left site for coffee information....NOT!


Do the politics of the source matter? It's coffee,
for Pete's sake. My first three Google hits for
"cold brewed coffee recipe" were the New York Times,
Chowhound, and simplyrecipes.com. On duckduckgo,
it was Allrecipes, Chowhound, and NYT, in that order.

The 8 o'clock has no bite at all. Excellent coffee otherwise, but I'd drink it like water
if brewed alone. That was 30 years ago.


8 O'Clock is still around? My mother always shopped at the A&P but I was
raised on Bokar. 8 O'Clock was acceptable in a pinch but Red Circle was
floor sweepings.
