Great coffeemaker
As a kid in the 70s and 80s, my parents had one of these. Not being a coffee drinker, I always thought it was embarrassingly low tech. Now that I’m an adult (though still not a big coffee drinker), I wanted something inexpensive that wouldn’t take up a lot of counter space, would be easy to care for and would make decent coffee. After looking at various options, I finally settled on this one, and I’m glad I did. Not only does it work perfectly well, as advertised, it also makes great-tasting coffee (which is more than I can say about the little stovetop percolator I tried before investing in this one). It’s also easy to store in my cabinet when not in use.
Two additional notes: The coffee maker calls for size 6 filters, and those are great to have when you’re making a full pot. But if you’re just making coffee for 2-3 people, I’ve found size 4 filters work fine, and they’re cheaper and easier to come by. I’ve also found that the coffee filter cone will also work with…
Simply the best coffee ever
After my last coffee maker died (the fourth or fifth one in just eight years), I was sick of the electric coffee pot. This very simple set-up was inexpensive and doesn’t have any electrical parts to break.
The best thing, though, is that this makes the best coffee ever. Seriously. Here’s the method: I grind my beans right before brewing. I pour boiling water over the grounds, just enough to soak them. Then I pour again to fill the filter with water. And I stir with a spoon. Pour and stir, pour and stir, until all the water has gone through. Simple, easy, and amazingly good coffee. It’s way better than anything I got from my overpriced electrical machines.
Great Coffee Maker
We’ve used one of these for years and love the simplicity and the quality of the coffee. I was quite upset when we left our last one behind while on vacation, but found them for sale here on Amazon. The biggest problem with them is finding the No. 6 filters if you need to make more than a couple of cups – they are almost impossible to find in any of our local stores. You can find the No. 4 filters, which will do two large cups, but that is all. If you come across the No. 6 size, you had better stock up.
