Coffee Maker’s….What You Got

[fat rat]

Is there an ultimate coffee maker, you know a must have item. Getting ready to make a purchase. I looked at the pod machines but they seem to be expensive to operate. Any recommendations?

 

[Javajoe]

I have had them all but ended up using Kerig Pod everyday. I like the single serving and it’s fast. I make 2 and fill up my cup and off to work I go. At night I can make a cup and not waste a full pot

 

[Paradox]

I swear by my Jura S9. It makes awesome coffee and decent espresso. I’ve got two, one at home and one in the office. Will likely get a third for Havasu.

I bought them used well over 10 years ago. Other than a full service once every 5 years or so, and regular de-scaling and cleaning, I’ve had very little trouble with them.

Kureg, the pods are expensive and that's why we don't use them. We use a Kcup and fill it with our own coffee grounds

 

[Icky]

I have the ninja coffee bar at home and a keurig in my toyhauler. I only use them to make ice coffee, none of the other fancy stuff.

 

[monkeyswrench]

How much coffee do you drink? Pods are okay for the lightweights, but I'd need a belt fed version. I'm cheap, so use an old Mr.Coffee with a timer for auto start before I get up, and another pot in the afternoon. My friend's wife is LE, she has one with a dedicated water line, and stays hot, almost a commercial Bunn.

 

[buck35]

Bunn for us. 3 minute pot.

 

[Sleek-Jet]

Jura... $$$ but the wife is happy.

I used a grinder/espresso maker similar to the Jura S9 shown above for a dozen years, enjoyed it, makes good strong coffee, but, it makes "espresso shots", not a big cup of coffee, so, I'd make three shots, then add my cream, then microwave the coffee cup to get to temperature. Not as daunting as it reads, but likely not for everyone. I have a Keurig pod machine at work, is perfect, as when someone wants a cup, I don't have to make a whole pot. Then, I was enlightened. We went on vacation, and in the hotel room was a Nespresso pod machine, similar to a Keurig. It makes a lot stronger, more flavorful cup, than the Keurig. We immediately bought one, but it, like the big Jura, makes shots, or small doses, so, multiples for a big mug of coffee. Then Nespresso came out with their "Vertuo" pod machine. It had choices, one ounce pod up to a 7.7 ounce pod. It also spins the pod l, making a nice foam on top. Bought that one, it's great on flavor, but the pods are about double what the Keurigs are. It works for me, as I use two pods in the morning, then head to work. Bottom line, I loved the Jura big machine, because, it's a piece of machinery, it's cool, but the pod setup is just easier, and it's "fun" to get flavored pods (wife likes coconut, peppermint in winter), I just like plain & strong. If you're a multi cup/ half a pot guy, stick with the old fashioned coffee maker. I get one of those out ($29.95) when my daughter and her husband come to visit, as that's what they like. Coffee is a damn personal thing !

 

[monkeyswrench]

@hman442 , that's what makes everyone's coffee needs so different...it really is a personal type deal. I used to get coffee off a roach coach, or whatever greasy spoon was open. I drink my coffee relatively strong, and black. (No "Airplane" movie comments) My wife doctors her's up, but also drinks ice coffee in the warmer times...I drink a about a pot and half a day hot, year round.
I may have a drinking problem

 

[BabyRay]

I’ll second Jura. They are expensive, but they make a GREAT cup of coffee. I bought one over 20 years ago and it’s still going, though I did pay $300 to have it rebuilt about 5 years ago. I can’t vouch for current production, but I’d still buy one if needed.

You CAN make a full cup. It’s just a matter of the settings. You can also set the strength to always be what you prefer.

Was one cup a day until recently, got back up to two cups. I like coffee flavored coffee and the wife likes the foo foo shit. I drink mine, she drinks hers. We don't entertain, so never have need for a full pot anymore.

I did that for a bit, but really, what's expensive? I found K-cups I like for .32 a round and spend as much as .65 a round for some of the wife's. Still far below ANY Starbucks or whatever coffee shop.

 

[liquid addiction]

Cuisinart that has the grinder. Put the whole beans in and it grinds and brews fresh. I’m on my second one after wearing out the grinder on the first one after 10yrs. The new one has the k-cup maker built in.

 

[Markus]

The one to get is a British espresso machine called the Londinium.

Google and you will find.

Had one of those in the 90s. I noticed the grind chamber would get steamy sometimes. Then they had a recall, so I sent it in and they sent back a coffee pot and a grinder. I was PISSED. I paid for an all in one.

 

[RiverCruiser]

I have a cuisinart that does both. We are happy with it so far.

 

[samsah33]

Cuisinart, got one for my wedding and it's been going strong for almost 20 years (except for the broken carafe, but that was my fault...). Saw the same model at a thrift store a while back and got it for a rental unit.

 

[Tank]

Electric kettle. Stainless press. Every morning.

 

[wzuber]

Kuerig for us. we have 3 of them. I prefer the kcups and fill my own, wife typically likes the ready made stuff. It's good if you like a variety of coffee and don't drink a half pot a day...You can get the on sell at Macy's typically for around $100.00 for the multi-cup water caraff.

 

[yuppie]

AeroPress with freshly ground bean never disappoints!

When I find a good spot for it, I'll probably be grabbing one of these Rocket Appartemento's. A while back they had a collab with Carhartt.

 

[boatpi]

My Jura E6 is the best I have ever used. Worked perfect for 3 years.

 

[Racey]

I do this but with an Aeropress, almost impossible to beat and cheap AF

Cheap, quick and easy.

 

[lbhsbz]

Getting coffee in me is more important than the type of coffee or how it tastes. We have a cheapo keureg...I walk out and turn it on, then go take a piss and get dressed, then 20 seconds later I've got a cup of coffee.

I've also been known to use hot sink water and instant crystals (folgers aren't bad) if the rack is empty and I can't find where the wife put new K-cups in 5 seconds...lol

 

[C_J_J_C]

$99 Hamilton Beach.
Full pot for the morning and the pods if I need an afternoon or night cup.

JURA IMPRESA XJ9 Professional

I'm a little spoiled with this thing.

My kid runs a Starbucks too, so we are fucking rolling in the good shit.

 

[Flatsix66]

We have been buying the full automatic coffee makers from Costco for the last 15 years or so. They are super expensive for the shitty quality they are. After a few years they break, call the importer and get the run around…. Then return them at Costco for a full refund. Rinse and repeat.

 

[Done-it-again]

Nespresso. Have both series but prefer the original line.

 

[pronstar]

Mueller K-Cup machine.
I’m cheap and buy the K Cups in bulk when they’re around 25 cents each

 

[HBCraig]

Nespresso for me with the dark cups. Traveling to Europe ruined me for coffee. I came home and shit canned the coffee pot

 

[MK1MOD0]

We have a Miele espresso machine. Not cheap but simply makes a perfect cup of espresso or coffee.

 

[Xtrmwakeboarder]

Nespresso. Have both series but prefer the original line.

2nd this. We have the Vertuo line.

 

[Shlbyntro]

my 15 year old Black and Decker shit the bed about a month ago. I replaced it with this badboy. It was a little pricey, even at its sale price of $7.50 but it makes a damn good pot of coffee

 

[wzuber]

A mention about kcups for newbies going that route.....
Get the scoop that measures and packs the coffee into the kcup. Very handy and makes a better cup of coffee by slowing the water perk thru the cup.

 

[RadMan]

We just bought the low on the scale ninja 14 cup it makes delicious coffee compared to the high dollar bean grinding cuisenart it replaced it was $80 at bed bath and …

Reminds me I told my wife that my parents were getting her a coffee maker for this christmas and she was pissed, then when she didn’t get one, I told her I cancelled that shit, she was pissed again

Try Medaglia D'oro instant, it's unbelievably good

 

[CarolynandBob]

I like our Ninja. Mainly because you you don't have to pour the water in. Just fill reservoir and put it in it's spot.

[Gramps]

I put one of these "away" a few years ago somewhere in my shop.....I might go on a hunt today and try to find it.

 

[DaytonaBabe]

I don't like having appliances junking up the kitchen counters, so we opted for the Keurig in the fridge deal. GE Café

 

[sirbob]

French press

And a Nespresso for when I want just an espresso.

 

[WildWilly]

I've been looking to step up our coffee game. I was looking at Breville barrista models but this post has me looking at Jura's now. Currently we have one that has the whole bean grinder on the top and it makes a decent pot of coffee but want to also do shots and lattes too

 

[Dan Lorenze]

Frieling Stainless French Press and a Lavazza Espresso machine.

I’ve used those pink deals, they work a few times then....
“Sorry, this pod is not compatible with bla bla bla”

Aftermarket sucks in coffee world.


So, we use a real Keirig pod.

We grind whole bean, usually the Bougie Panamanian single source stuff my wife buys online.
It is above par, by a great deal.



And then there’s camping.
I go cheap on coffee, Don Francisco usually.
I tried percolating and what a pain in the ass.

So, I ran across this a few years ago.

It’s everyting ol Kent says it is.
And simple. No percolate deal, no filter, or other things needed.
A pot, water, coffee and heat.
Perfect for camping.

Really, I've been using that one through 2 keurig machines without an issue. And I probably just fuked myself

Maybe it’s just my luck?
Horrible experience with those fuckers!
Nothing will piss me off more than something fucking with my morning go juice.
No issues with the brand name re-usable unit.

Did you try telling it to fuck off

 

[Zed]

If you want a drip style coffee maker there is only one worth buying....Moccamaster by Technivorm
Get that and a good burr grinder to grind you fresh roasted beans. Grind just enough for each pot just before brewing. Pour over quality brew from a drip machine.

Quite a few creative expletives
