In fact, I find mine to be quite good. I use it to make three to six cups a day. It's been in service for over two years now and is still plugging along as reliably and efficiently as the day I unpacked it. I estimate I've made somewhere north of 3,000 cups with it. > because, > it's very difficult to adjust it to the strength you like, > just for starters Not really. I personally like strong, dark coffee, and usually use pods made with dark Italian or French roast. But you can easily find pods made with medium and light roast coffees. > then, > i don't think you can grind your own [fresh] beans Yes you can. Just get reusable pods that are available from any number of sources. They even make paper liners for them to make cleanup easier. You can use them make any kind of coffee you like, including fresh ground, or that nasty stuff they sell in plastic cans at the grocery. This will also allow you to regulate the strength if you drink really weak coffee. > etc etc > it's for somewhat lazy people, IMHO Your opinion is wrong. I still own, and frequently use my burr grinder and french press to serve coffee to my dinner guests...but that's more drill and ceremony than I want on a day to day basis since this method was developed. Convenience has value. |

Convenience has value. I had a FP too, but the second time I used it the glass broke. Too many grounds the first time I used it -- I assume I was doing something wrong. -- Cheers, Bev ================================================================= "The federal government has taken too much tax money from the people, too much authority from the states, and too much liberty with the Constitution." -- Ronald Reagan |
