Recomend me a new coffee maker

[legendboy]

I have been using a starbucks single brew coffee maker for about 8 years and it finally quit.

Can anybody recomend me a good single cup (traveler) brewer?

Also, recomend me a good full size coffee maker too if you have a great one

After my espresso machine died, I've simplyfied and gone to a french press.

^^dude i need that second one. where do they carry them in calgary?

[Unknown303]

Almost everywhere really. Sears, Williams Sonoma, Home outfitters, Bed Bath and Beyond, and probably a lot more I can't think of right now.

[legendboy]

looks like canadian tire has it on sale

why do you recomend?

[Unknown303]

The second one uses a burr grinder so once you have it set to a certain grind it will do it like that every time. Plus the obvious points I guess including that it has a bean hopper with with a gasket door to the grinder so you don't have to worry about moister getting to the un-ground beans.

I've owned a few Cuisinart coffee makers now and have never been disappointed with the build quality. These ones also use a thermal carif so your coffee stays fresher much longer.

I actually pre-heated my carif this morning at around 11am when I brewed my coffee and I'm still now enjoying the last cup from it and it was still really hot and tastes like it was just brewed.

If you really enjoy your coffee buy the Technivorm Mochamaster



Its one of the few coffee machines that can heat water to the right temperature for brewing coffee. Its seriously the best out there. You can buy them at Phil and Sebastien on Marda Loop.

If you like coffee, but arent a huge fan then the Cuisinarts are nice...

^^really? i've had all kinds of coffee makers, and while I LOVE coffee, I find percolation to be the best in terms of convenience AND taste. to be honest, i think french presses take too long and are a PITA in the morning. to each his own, i suppose.

[RY213]

I actually use a french press every day, it is the best! Why do they take so long for you? You boil some water, grind some beans while youre waiting, pour, stir and youre good to go.

[Unknown303]

Yeah I can FP coffee in the same time it would take my coffee maker to pump out a pot.

[Guillermo]

cause i have literally like 10 minutes from the time i get out of bed to the time i leave the door, and i'm not gonna spend precious time worrying about whether or not water is boiling, or how long my coffee has steeped for. grinding the beans is enough work for me in the morning haha.

[revelations]

You can grind the beans the night prior.

FP is my next purchase.

[Guillermo]

i've got 2 collecting dust in my cupboard hahah

I have a Tim Horton's brewer I've had for 9 years, it's great, and brews a pot in less than 5 minutes.

I have that higher end cuisinart coffee machine mentioned above. It is good and i like it a lot except for the canister. It is hard to pour out of and clean compared to the cheaper ones.

It holds the heat much better though.

I saw them recently at xs cargo for $100 instead of the 200 at canadian tire.

Going with a 10 cup cuisinart with thermal carafe. Buying a standalone burr grinder.

Thanks for all the opinions
