    Yes I do. I have one. It makes the coffee into almost a syrup. You put (for example) a 12oz. can of coffee in the brewing container. In the bottom of the container you insert a small filter, and a cork (or a small plug) Fill the container with cold water. (I always used filtered tap water) Let it sit in your refrigerator for over night. (Usually 12 to 18 hrs.) Then drain into the carafe. Then when you wanted a cup of coffee you put a table spoon or a tea spoon (depending on your tastes) in any coffee cup with hot water. It works better for iced coffee as far as I am concerned. Makes good hot coffee but seems to me to be a bigger pain than anything else.
    You can buy them at Bed Bath and Beyond. Also I think on Amazon. You can also buy them at 6Bucks Coffee shops aka Starbucks. Good Luck there seems to be an art to making good coffee with them.

    Erik Redd Lizabeth, baby, I'm comin' to join ya.

    Changed my mind when I realized the Bunn kept the water hot constantly to brew fast, doesn't make much sense for a single pot a day.

    I just ordered a Bonavita BV18000TH after spending some time researching. I don't think I'll volunteer the price I paid to SWMBO though, it's more than I've ever paid for a coffeemaker but hopefully the coffee will be worth it.

    I think you need to have a conversation with a Razor Stroop , behind the Barn or Garage, or better yet in the middle of the Town Square. I have never seen any bad reports about this coffee Maker.

    Good ol' Mr. Coffee at work but a Keurig at home (my wife doesn't drink coffee so it's perfect for just me).

    My first choice is always the French press, but I also use a Keurig with the Solofill reusable filter and fresh ground beans.

    I walk to my local coffee house and have the tattooed hipster beauties draw me a cup. I can often be found there in my bathrobe and slippers.

    We have a Mr. Coffee machine for that early morning first cup. We buy the whole coffee beans and fresh grind every morning. The Nespresso machine is the best for a late morning Cappuccino or after dinner Expresso.

    Your situation this morn is where all those Keurig, Nespresso and other 'pod' units really come in handy!

    I made a big Bodum pot of french-pressed Peet's Major Dickason for my wife & I to share over the morning paper. I love Saturday morns….

    I don't like a real light or a real dark roast. The bag says lightly roasted but it has a lot of flavor. I would call it the middle of the road. When I drink a whole pot and make another, it has to be good and this one is
