On the principle of low cost, minimal clean up, and one or two cups a day is enough, a decent coffee (ground from beans in small batches) and a small cafetiere is the best compromise for me. And I've tried a few ;-) -- Cheers, Rob |

I also grind the beans I'll need for that mug of coffee daily with a burr grinder. |

I make a full pot with whatever Mr. Coffee I bought at the last estate sale (they don't last forever so I always have a backup out in the garage) and Costco french roast beans ground with a yard-sale blade grinder. I turn the machine off when the coffee is done and heat it up in the microwave one cup at a time until it's gone -- generally two days. It may be noted that I once drank half a cup of plain hot water in a black cup at the office before it sank into my brain that the coffee was AWFULLY weak today, so I'm pretty sure I don't qualify for a Gourmet license. In my defense, I've tried a French press and one of those little aluminum stove-top espresso makers and didn't think either was any better than what I normally do. -- Cheers, Bev ----------------------------------------------------------- Psalm 137:9 Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stones. |

When I make coffee in this Brew 'n Go I put the creamer and sweetener packets in the cup before starting the machine. Once I made coffee and after stirring, but before tasting, I thought that coffee sure is milky looking. I looked at the coffee grinder and there were my freshly ground grounds waiting on me. > aluminum stove-top espresso makers and didn't think either was any > better than what I normally do. > Cheers, Bev I've thought of trying both makers you mentioned but I can't bring myself spend the extra money just to see if I'd like either one better. Especially when I'm already happy with the coffee maker I have now. |

People use can tops like Pringles. Substitutions?? yes of course. medical grade tape is inexpensive, and very strong. make sure its double sided. Then experiment with whatever plastics you have. the plastic gives the spring effect, which will open the nostrils. i need a third nostril thou honestly. stupid allergies |

People use can tops like Pringles. Substitutions?? he only said in article "A number of sources could be used for the plastic spring. you must experiment, i kno credit cards work sort of, try cutting from whatever plastics you have at home. |
