Harry hasn't bragged about his much lately. I reckon it's 'cause he's making such a strong-hearted attempt to keep his posts on topic, or at least sociable. |

Warrantee doesn't mean **** on a Sunday Morning... We use the Bunn single cup maker, it's built just as well as out Bunn Coffee maker... It's not our only coffee maker, so an outage would be a slight inconvienence. The Bunn we have has had it's own issue. There's a rubber gasket in the top well that dries out and cracks, causing water leaks when filling. Already replaced it once. Yeah, used to be you could get them with the industrial innards, all stainless but they cheaped out over the years... |

Mrs.E. has gone through two or three machines in the past four years. I have a basic model in my "man cave" that I use often (meaning five or six times a day). It's over four years old and works fine. I've done the vinegar cleaning thing once on it. One thing I noticed is that it would occasionally not brew the water through the cup acting as if the pump is bad. Turns out not to be the case. The small needle that penetrates the top of the cup to inject water gets plugged from time to time. When that happens cycle the system without a K-cup in it (runs hot water through it only) and it clears the needle. Only happens once in a while. I also discovered that K-Cups vary slightly in size depending on the manufacturer. There is one brand (forget which) that the cup is slightly shorter than others and the needle that pokes a hole in the *bottom* of the cup doesn't always penetrate fully. I got in a habit of pushing the cups in by hand to ensure the needle penetrates the bottom. |

We have been using the same coffee maker for years. It is cheap, reliable, environmentally friendly, easy to clean, and last but not least, it makes darn good coffee. It's called a Melita filter cone. Just put a fresh filter in it, a few tablespoons of your favorite ground coffee, pour some boiling water, and it's good to go for pennies a cup. We start the day with a pot of it and save the leftovers for making iced coffee later in the day. |

You buy an expensive machine and you get to pay $.80 or more for the cups to brew your coffee. It takes no more than a minute to get the coffee maker setup each evening and have it on a timer to enable you to wake up to freshly brewed coffee. It has advantages. The one I use was $99 and, as I mentioned, it's over four years old and still works fine. I like it because: Faster and easier to make that first cup of coffee in the morning. Faster and easier to have a cup of Joe just about anytime. No wasted coffee to throw away. Brews a cup at a time. Each cup is sealed and fresh. Allows you to experiment with a wide range of different types of coffee. Makes tea and hot chocolate just as fast and easily. I had forgotten. I also purchased a commercial type Keurig for the guitar shop when it opened in 2009. It's still at the shop now, works fine and is used everyday. The customers like it, (it's free) and one regular customer drives a delivery truck for WB Mason. He keeps us supplied with a "lost" case of K-Cups every once in a while. |

Wide varieties of k-cups are available for .40 cents or less. I use a stainless steel k-cup and usually Maxwell House coffee from a can. I figured out once that I was paying less than 5 cents a cup for the coffee that way, and I prefer plain old Maxwell House to the "fancy" k-cups. One of our machines went teats up after three years. I called the vendor, and for a $10 fee, I was sent a brand-new machine and a return shipping label for the old machine.

Scott, the only "google" coffees I know of have names like "Gran-DAY" and "lah-TAY". I get my usual 44oz. of Bunn at the gas station every morning. That lasts me till noon!

In article om, says... I wonder if Krause still loves his. There seems to be a lot of complaints, on the internet, about them. I don't understand the the draw of the Keurig. You buy an expensive machine and you get to pay $.80 or more for the cups to brew your coffee. It takes no more than a minute to get the coffee maker setup each evening and have it on a timer to enable you to wake up to freshly brewed coffee. It's handy. And it's possible to get coffee much cheaper than 80cents a cup. And, it's always fresh. Using the SoloFil (http://tinyurl.com/o97qtwj) makes the price no more than any coffee you buy in a can or bag. |

In about 1979, I got my morning coffee at a Circle K. This store made some of the best coffee I have had. |

To me, the coffee tastes like the bean was burned. The few times I tried Starbucks, I got that impression, too. Also, if I am on the road locally and want a cup of coffee, I can get decent coffee at WaWa or some other place for a buck and change. I don't know what Starbucks gets for a cup of coffee these days, but I'm guessing it is at least $3.00. Since plain coffee suits my taste, I can't think of any reason why I'd want to pay a premium for a cup of "fancy" coffee. -- If right-wing assholes could fly, rec.boats would be an airport! |

Casey's coffee is pretty good too. They have Columbian and French roast and those are my favorites and even their house blend isn't bad. I can't stand hazelnut though...
