Which coffee pot?

[reelecstasy]

We have used ours for the last year+, everyday...It is the best one I have ever used. Plus with an insulated carafe you don't have that bottom "burner" burning the coffee...You do not need to grind the beans you can also just use the filter basket like regular coffee makers as well...

and if you want it totally pipping hot, just fill the carafe with hot hot water then empty it and start the coffee maker, so hot you won't be able to drink it. I was serious about the fact that most days when I wash the pot at 6 p.m. it is still warm/hot from 5am..that impresses me everytime...

Get a french press. Make it as hot as you want with whatever # of cups you want.
Great coffee beans makes great coffee. Get the Jamician Blue Mountain direct from Jamacia. Nothing better in this hemisphere

Yep, the best part of the stainless carafes is that they don't cook the coffe on a hot plate...but they do need to be warmed before use.

This is also where the sealed system of the Cuisinart model I mentioned is a real benefit. Brewed coffee only has about 30 min before a reaction with oxygen starts to turn the flavor. If the coffee enters the carafe without much exposure to air, it can hold much longer with optimal flavor.

Instant is best when you chuck some in your mouth and take a mouthful of water from your canteen and swish it around a little. Just the boost you need at about 60 hours awake.......

Hamilton Beach Brew Station - this is what we use at work and I got one for home, no carafe to break and keeps the coffee piping hot.

I don't have the bunn you speak of. We have the $100 dollar version and
it's awesome. Water always hot. Grind your beans with a BURR grinder (not the little ones with the spinning blades--generates heat and starts to break down flavor) just before brewing. They come with a seperate tupperware container for filling the reservoir because the second you close the lid the coffee comes out fast and hot. When this one breaks I'll get the same one with a stainless carrafe ($139)for the reasons mentioned above. I also have a french press and they make an awesome cup of coffee as well. Just adjust your grinder to make larger grounds.
