[Electronics-talk] coffee makers

Tue Feb 4 19:19:11 UTC 2014

I have it and that's what I'm using, but I'm not thrilled with it.  Even the 
Dunken Doughnuts coffee I buy for it is bitter.  I have the Kcup filter, but 
that's not that good either.  It's just a quick way to get a cup of coffee, 
but it doesn't really taste that good.  I've tried differenc kinds of coffee 
for it, but still not so good.  As for flavored coffees, I don't drink them.

I guess I will add, the only way to fly, not necessarily for blind, but easy
is the keurig.  Only button in rear, open it up on top.  I push a button to
make a bigger cup, yet you don't have to.  Put the little K Cup in and buy a
big box from costco, push big button at bottom.  Been brewing coffe for
years, this is perfect and can switch flavors all day.
Their probably $100.

Good, then if there are buttons, you should be good to go.  Pam.

Darla,
All of these suggestions have helped me out a lot. The coffee maker I have
is one that grinds the coffee first. There are several steps involved with
the cleaning and several more to prepare the coffee. I think that with a
little practice it will become second nature for me. It is also
programmable, but my dad just cleans it out and puts the fresh coffee in
each morning. The buttons are actual buttons and there is only one button to
press to start the whole cycle. I'll get you the make and model info later
if you want. Take care

Drew

Hi Serena,

I hate coffeemakers that have you pour through the slots; never could do it
without making a bit of a mess.  Wish I had thought of the funnel then.
I have a Keurig now; when it dies, I am considering a coffee maker that
grinds the beans before brewing.
Wow; lots of coffee drinkers, eh?

Mine is a Hamilton Beach that I recently got for Christmas.  It has a pot on
one side and a single serve component on the other.  The filter baskets come
out easily and the button to start the brewing process is a round button
that's easy to find.  I'm sure there are other features to it that I haven't
figured out yet but so far it meets my needs.
Also, Tracy's right, it does take a bit of prep work to make coffee and a
bit to clean up.  With my old coffee maker I used to use a funnel to pour
the water in to it because I kept pouring water on to to the counter.  If
the issue is that you haven't done it a lot all I can say to do is practice
and keep practicing.  I'm totally blind also and it took me years before I
could make a decent cup of coffee.  My dad is sighted and has been making
coffee for years and still makes a huge mess.
If there's a touch screen involved maybe there's a way to mark it with puffy
paint or Braille markings.  Good luck and happy coffee drinking.  :) Serena
