[Electronics-talk] coffee pots

[Shannon Cook]

Hi,

In response to several lines on this topic, I am only sending one email.

I had a Cuisinart Grind N Brew for many years, but the grinder did break way before the rest of the pot gave up the ghost.  We use a regular, no frills, 10 cup coffee pot for mornings before work now.

We also have a Keurig that we've had for 4-5 years.  It has options for 6, 8, and 10 ounce cups.  It is one of the first models early on with buttons.  It has a screen, but we don't need it to operate the machine.  We love it!!  We mainly use ours on weekends and in the evenings if we want a cup.  Some of the best prices we have found are on Amazon and at Sam's, but Sam's selection is very limited.  We descale it with white vinegar twice a year to keep it working well. When funds run low, we use the My K-Cup to use our own coffee.  We have gotten two to be able to get one ready when the first is brewing.  We often ask for K-Cups for Christmas, birthdays, etc.

I also got a Hamilton-Beach single cup pod brewer from Amazon for $20 to use at work.  I can order the pods from Amazon as well.  They are very inexpensive as compared to the K-Cups, so clean up is super easy with that too.  The only button on it is the on button.  Once the cup is brewed and pours into a small coffee cup, it shuts itself off.  It only makes an 8 ounce cup of coffee, nothing larger.

Drinking coffee has become quite a pastime in my adulthood.  So much so, that my husband and I named our first dog Coffee. We enjoy it in most forms, except instant.
