[Electronics-talk] coffee makers

Wed Feb 5 18:42:52 UTC 2014

Hi there Valerie and all those who use a cure egg
Want to know, can you make a larger cup of coffee. How large cup can you make?
Also, what do you mean by no cleanup. Don't have to clean out the water pot.
Not quite sure how they work, but I'm curious about getting one.
