Your coffee maker

Tell us about your coffee maker?

I've had a Keurig mini for over 15 years now...maybe 20??...and it didn't work very well this morning. So I might be looking at getting something new.

Hard to believe the Keurig has been around that long now.

We've got a cheaper Mr. Coffee coffee maker that came from Walmart. We've also got an espresso machine, if we want to put a lot of effort into pulling it out and such.

Senseo. Little coffee pads. Love them.

I got a Wilfa drip coffee maker which works like a charm. I also got a small Nespresso machine, but I don't really use it that often.

My Keurig.....I don't use it all the time. I actually don't drink coffee. I use it to drink hot chocolate during the winter time.

I believe mine is a Cuisinart if I remember correctly that has a side to brew pots of coffee and a side just to do single serve. I got it a few years ago on Black Friday for a pretty good deal with the intent to make more coffee at home to save some money, and it works pretty well from a standpoint of making coffee. It's been having a few issues here and there, but overall it still works. It'd probably work better on the saving money front if I actually used it for making coffee on more than just an occasional basis.

Mostly, the single serve side is what gets used the most since we can't really justify drinking entire pots of coffee between two people, nor do either of us ever really drink coffee at the same times, but occasionally, we do use the side that makes the pots of coffee to make enough for both of us or if I'm wanting to make iced coffee. I like having the option though.

I had a Keurig, but it went out. So, I got a cheap Walmart one for a temporary fix. In all honesty, it works, and I don't need anything else.

I quit using k-cups. I'm not a hippie by any means, but they're bad on the environment and they tend to cost more.

I buy the Black Rifle Beyond Black coffee in a bag. It works for me. I can make a bag last a few months.

I've got a French Press, I'm the only one that drinks coffee and I don't like the Keurig stuff. For whatever reason it just doesn't taste good.

I ended up buying another Keurig. Our old one was the mini and wow, that thing lasted forever. I kept it clean, whereas I know a lot of people don't bother to clean their machines. I can't imagine all the goo that is inside theirs.

This new Keurig has a water container to hold enough for 2 cups of coffee. I guess that's okay. I've noticed that no matter which selection of cup size I choose, that the coffee is weaker than from the old Keurig. One way to combat that would be to buy the Universal Re-usable filter and pack my own coffee inside??? My mini didn't have that option.

One good thing is that I got a coupon for 50% off of k-cups from the Keurig website and it truly was an excellent deal, and I got free shipping. I don't need to buy anything now for MONTHS!!

Nespresso coffee machine and pods. I'm thinking of looking at other options because the pods are hardly environmentally friendly.

Whatever the cheapest one is at Walmart, lol. It's not good, but it makes coffee.

I brew my coffee mostly in a turk and drink it with milk or whipped cream but now I am kinda on a diet so I drink it without milk or with soy milk. Love it. Also close friend of mine recommended me to [link removed] better diet results. Has anyone have heard about that?
