Emergency - dead coffee pot.

<font color=red>Oh my... this thread is deteriorating... conical thingies and synthetics...</font color=red>
Deteriorating???
It hit bottom when Bird mentioned pouring <font color=red>"too fast"</font color=red>
That's the problem - a thread about an implement that can't keep up with normal TBN pace.

Paper isn't a problem for most coffee drinkers provided it's unbleached and not flat bottomed. (Cone shaped gives you better extraction, i.e., more coffee particles in the water.) But when you get into the beans with delicate flavors (exotics and ultra-fresh) the paper tends to absorb some of the stuff that imparts the flavors associated with the coffees. I want my coffee in the cup, not stuck to the paper.

LOL! I'm convinced my wife married me at least in part because of my unlimited access to free coffee! Let me try to sneak out of the house before she awakes and I'm followed by her plaintive wails. "Caffeine!" she bellows. "I need caffeine and you don't love me if you leave me without fresh coffee!"

/w3tcompact/icons/shocked.gif/w3tcompact/icons/crazy.gif Oh No..
I would scoot down to your local kitchen supply store and look around purchase a darn good stainless steel coffee make that has a brand name.

I just got in and made a pot /w3tcompact/icons/grin.gif that I saw the post /w3tcompact/icons/shocked.gif a fellow TBNer w/out a coffee maker /w3tcompact/icons/frown.gif kinda like getting a new tractor w/out the key. /w3tcompact/icons/sad.gif

<font color=blue>Mr Coffee is a joke</font color=blue>

I was beginning to think I was the only one that thought so. I hate to bash any product but I guess I've had too many overflows (like the ones you mentioned, Bird), and bad tasting cups of coffee with the Mr. Coffee machine. You might say I'm.......bitter /w3tcompact/icons/blush.gif about it.


<font color=blue>Cone shaped gives you better extraction, i.e., more coffee particles in the water</font color=blue>

Now that makes good sense, even if it is a little gearheaded.

Terry all I use is a white westinghouse, We have had it for 2 years and works good. The best coffee I tasted was from my Mother in laws purculator coffee pot. /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

Mine says, "Mr. Coffeeman, I need coffee!". If that doesn't work she threatens to make a pot of Folgers!

BUNN....ours is going on 11 years old, and still pumping out 5 to 6 12 cup pots a day. It is a two burner commercial type, and has the internal water storage/hot tank...pour a pot in the top, and two minutes later be pouring fresh coffee. Of course, it was spendy @ 219 bucks, but sure beat replacing them other thingys every few months.

Why not just drink COWBOY coffee? Just throw the grounds and the water all there together in one pot and put it on the stove. No paper, no nothing in there to take away the flavor. Yuck!! Reckon Louis Lamour was telling the truth?

I have to say that I agree with the Braun or Krups recommendation. Until I bought these brands, I was getting a new Mr. Coffee, Norelco, Black & Decker, ect... about every 6-9 months. The Braun and Krups units have always given me 5+ years of service and better tasting coffee too. Sure they run about $100 + but that's cheaper than always replacing the other brands.

<font color=red>COWBOY coffee?</font color=red> thats not cowboy coffee! real cowboys never had time for a fire so they just shoveled in a spoonfull and chewed.

Terry go check the loading dock or warehouse at your local WCOM facility, I'm sure there are plenty of un-used coffeemakers there

It's been a few years, but we used to do that when camping and fishing all night 'cept we didn't use a pot; just used an old coffee can with the water and coffee grounds and set it in the campfire./w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif I actually believe that might be about the best coffee. When it's ready (starts to boil), you can remove it from the fire and drop just a spoonful or so of cold water in it and most of the grounds will promptly settle to the bottom.

That's what I'm looking for at the next auction... /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

Every try some so call hunters coffee..yuck /w3tcompact/icons/tongue.gif
After spending chilly night in the woods and the early that morning you bring the water to boil than add some Helmlock needles than mix the coffee,that first cup you will want to wash your mouth out w/mud /w3tcompact/icons/crazy.gif
The second and third cup not so bad for your eyes are wide open and your ready to go...got my first taste in Montana.

Hey everyone, thanks for the replies. /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

Went on a mission last night to scout out the stores with the family in tow... /w3tcompact/icons/eyes.gif A few sidebar stops to calm the troops and a little slower pace to let the oldest daughter get some drive time so that she can get her license (where do you get new door panels for a Windstar van after squeezing my hand imprints into it /w3tcompact/icons/crazy.gif). I found a replacement. Its a Cuisinart Brew Central (see attachment for picture). Has a lot of the features of other brewers and a 3 yr warranty.

I seriously considered the Bunn but have reservations about the preheated water feature. Looks like that feature consumes 800 watts to keep the water warm. Not much really, but it goes on and off all day. Since I'm the coffee drinker in the house and typically only have coffee in the morning, I figured that the feature vs cost wasn't that critical to me. The CFO cast a weary eye at the feature also.

After reading the posts, I really looked over the possibilities. Man, there is some real junk out there. So again, thanks for the input.

I would have to go to a vo-tech school and learn how to operate that sweetheart. /w3tcompact/icons/grin.gif

I love that kind of coffee Bird!!!!!I have heard it called "HOBO" coffee.

 

[jimmoore]

Ahh shucks! you fellows are to picky about your coffee. When I load the old Kaywoodie with Half and Half and get a cup of mountain grown from that old stainless steel perculator and go sit on the patio and watch the sun come up, LIFE IS SWEET!
