(Every 6 weeks or so, I run vinegar through it to keep the workings clean.)
Very good advice. Although that's chick work. |

We have a Cuisinart that we received as a wedding gift. The built-in grinder is nice, but VERY loud. The one thing that I don't like about it is that the carafe is a pain to pour out of. I thought I was doing it incorrectly, but when we had people over for brunch, other people were spilling coffee while pouring, too. I don't notice a difference in taste from my old, trusty, cheapo, Mr. Coffee model that got me though many a long night.  |

Mine is having problems. I want a new one. I am the only one that drinks it. Recommend one to me. Cheaper the better but I like a good cup of coffee. Being that there's just one of you drinking coffee I'd strongly recommend a french press. My wife is like wichi ([threadjack]Raven hair and ruby lips. Sparks fly from her finger tips.[/threadjack]) and prefers instant so a 10 cup coffee maker does me no good. I have the Bodum pictured below. Throw in a grinder and fresh beans and you're in heaven.  http://www.bodumusa.com/s...A4AJ29L3AWG3J8LRKSL599FQA |

I drink a lot of coffee every day and I'm satisfied with the least expensive coffee maker on the market. I've never noticed any difference in the taste from one coffee maker to the next.

I'm the only one in the house who drinks coffee and I've been looking for a new coffee maker. This looks very intriguing. |

What I actually said was that listing To Sir With Love as one of your all time favorite movies was absolute proof that you are, in fact, a woman. The instant coffee thing, however.... Now, I have used freeze dried espresso as a dessert flavoring before.... |

But the bottom line is, you will never have a better cup of coffee, than that made from a french press. |

A french press does indeed make a helluva cup of coffee. I have one at work (the *feces* in the break room sucks donkey *8==>*) and one that I use for backpacking. Definitely a good option.

I gave a Lexan french press to my buddy for his birthday. I assume that's what you're talking about. He loves it. Uses it daily at home as well as on the trail. REI rules. |

Beats the *feces* out of the percolated crap we'd been drinking for years, and it's a lot smaller and lighter. |
