    This is one of my favorites, a Silex "2-cupper". Introduced in 1942 as a way to extend one's coffee ration. Instead of making a full pot (and risk wasting what wasn't consumed), this little gem makes two 5-ounce cups at a time. Just enough to fill my cobalt mug...

    a friend of mine has a similar setup...a 2-cup maker. Yours looks nice.

    Fresh ground Peet's Aged Sumata in a single serve machine. While less acidic than my usual Peet's Sumatra, I don't think the aging process adds enough value to justify the extra cost.

    I'll try it in my Bodum French press later, to see if there is enough difference to justify keeping it around (the coffee, not the French press).

    I felt lazy today, so I just whipped one up with my 10-year-old Braun KF-12...

    Ethiopian Makambo via Kalita Wave pour over. I changed the grind from setting of 10 to 15 for a larger grain and resulted in a smoother cup of coffee with the Makambo.
