Nice selection Joe! I owe Will a couple of cups, will you take care of that for me? Enjoy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have the Cuisinart burr grinder which I think works well. It is noisy, but there's no one here but my dog and she couldn't care less. As for brewing, I have a French press, but it's far more trouble than it's worth, IMHO. I really like the Bunn coffee maker, about $100 lots of places. Yeah, it has it's share of plastic (the round column is the water tank, btw, and it's stainless), and yeah it burns electricity since the water's always hot and yeah, it's fairly ugly - but it brews a full pot in 3 minutes!!!! Plus mine has to be 10-12 years old and all I ever had to replace was the hot plate switch and a seal. Bunn sent me the seal at no charge. I had to look elsewhere for the switch as Bunn's UL rating apparently goes south if they sell such parts to lowly consumers!
What German Grinder do you use??? I love German cofffe ("Jacobs" )and I would like a grinder that will produce maximum flavor? Thanks...
I believe you fill the top part with whiskey, and the bottom part with coffee. Drink both before driving home! St. Croix
Some fine choices there. I love the vacuum pots too, they make great coffee and are the most fun to watch in action.
The Bodum Vacuum makes great coffee, but I have settled for a one-cup plastic filter cone and paper filters. I do like the Solis Maestro Plus conical burr coffee grinder. Does an excellent job. The French Press I used to use was [ame="http://www.amazon.com/Bodum-Columbia-Thermal-12-Cup-Stainless/dp/B0000A8VUU/ref=sr_1_8/105-3439127-8713261?ie=UTF8&s=home-garden&qid=1191172768&sr=8-8"]the Columbia[/ame], by Bodum---all steel, vacuum carafe. Doesn't break, keeps coffee hot (12-cup carafe). Very nice. I let the coffee brew for 6 minutes, though---longer than mentioned above. And I ground it just a bit coarser than drip grind.
Don't particularly like the taste of coffee. I drink tea, for me this functions the same way as your cup of coffee.
