Keurig or ideas for a new coffee maker
Anyone have one of the very popular single serve coffee makers? I never a new maker because my very expensive and supposedly well built CUISINART
coffee maker took a crap last winter.
I like the idea of single brew and the fact that they have caribu coffee and starbucks brand cups. I'm just concerned that the temp doesn't get hot
enough to extract the best/most flavor.

I have a Keurig, believe me...the coffee is very good...this is from someone who stops at Caribou every morning before work.
Plus with the better ones you can select the "cup size", so you're one serving can make a little espresso size cup for a quick stronger drink or a
full mug for a sipper.
Obviously the single serve is more expensive, but you can get bulk deals on eBay where even the Caribou brand cups are like 40-50 cents each. Not
terrible.

I had a roommate who had one. It worked well but I never found any coffees I really liked, granted I only tried a couple.

That may be a hair cheaper, usually the eBay bulk auctions are for 100.

I'm in the market to get a new coffee maker, but one that does whole pots with a built in grinder perhaps.
My girl's brother has on and his coffee always tastes better than anyone's and he uses the same beans i use..
any recommendations?

When I make a cup of coffee, I MAKE A CUP OF COFFEE. I have a 24oz mug so the Keurig would not cut it for me. I would need almost 3 of those to
make a decent strength cup of coffee and by that time I am about $1.50 in for the cost so fuck that. I just have a Kitcen Aid regular coffee pot the
wife got me last year for xmas and I love it! The one feature I wanted that I got is a detachable water tank so I can throw it in the dishwasher. I
made the mistake of looking in the water tank of my old coffee maker one day and it was not pretty (even after cleaning it with vinager process) so
from no on, detachable tank for me.

We have one of those coffee makers at work. I like it.
Have you ever noticed how crayons are a lot like M&M's? All the colors tend to taste the same.

DO NOT BUY CUISINART. Mine was over $130 when I bought it and it took a shit in 5 years. They are not repairable. At least they do not do repairs on
them. Since it was after the supposed 3yr warranty they offered nothing. Basically a go fuck yourself with your $130 non-working coffee maker.

My grandmother has one of those. No clue when she got it but I know its older than me.
Personally I use a French Press for my coffee.
