Technivorm Moccamaster 10-Cup Coffee Maker with Thermal Carafe
Certified by the SCAA, the updated version of our old favorite (the KBT 741, now also $299) meets time and temperature guidelines with utter consistency. As a result, it produces a “smooth,” “velvety” brew.

Bonavita 8-Cup Coffee Maker with Thermal Carafe
Simple to use and SCAA-certified, this brewer spends most of the cycle in the ideal temperature range. Its coffee had “bright,” “full” flavor that was a bit more “acidic” than the Technivorm’s.
Why don't you simply buy a jar of Nescafé?

Thanks everyone but I have to be honest and say that I'm still stuck. I guess I want something that's not yet on the market.

To stay within the usual stereotypes, shouldn't Brits (and Scots?) refrain from giving advice on coffee or food? ;D
Any tea advice would be, however, highly appreciated.
Hiya Andrew, it seems like it's taken quite a price drop sine I got mine a couple of years back!
... Poor old Maggie went today; a great lady..
I wish to nominate the Bialetti Moka Crystal.

Oh, uh... get ready for a storm of different opinions... or shall we say a tempest in a teapot? Or is it coffee pot, to stay within the topic ;D

Tea is easier. Plus, you get a free fortune in each cup. ;)
... my preferred brew is powdered Turkish coffee made over very low heat in an ibrik...
New York (pop as at 2011 - 8,244,910) has about 70,000 more people than London (8,174,100), and one more Michelin star restaurant. Just saying.
Right, Bill. That's like judging the quality of life in third-world countries by their fenced, five-star resorts ;)
Blimey. Are things really that bad outside of New York?
He, he... nice one Bill!One ought to ask when you were last in London? Turkish cuisine has never - to my recollection - been "all the craze". Popular sometimes but .....
In all fairness, both countries are saved by ethnic restaurants. Last time I was in London, Turkish cuisine was all the craze. How many of those Michelin-star London restaurants are serving authentic English cuisine? The same question applies to NY, of course.
A small hand-crank burr grinder and a french press has recently transformed my understanding of what coffee can be. Nothing beats the convenience of setting up your auto-drip maker the night before to brew 5 minutes before you wake up—but it's a weak facsimile of coffee. When I first started using the french press I found it a bit fussy and mentally reserved it for "special" occasions or Sunday mornings. Now, I have rearranged my morning schedule to include it. For me, it's well worth the 7 or 8 minutes it requires to make it happen.
But if you really want to amp up your coffee experience, roast your own beans.
I've toyed with the idea! Glad to hear you like it, this does sound like fun. I've even hear some do this in a popcorn popper with reasonable success.
... french press! But it IS messy and more work. It takes some time to gauge how long you want to let the coffee and water live together. I read somewhere, never more then 10 minutes...
... $80 for that one you linked is obscene!
Agreed... that's why I paid only a half (whatever the promotion was at the time). Still expensive, though. There were times when I could afford it... not anymore.
But I know I won't be able to kick the coffee.I find that drinking it works better than kicking it, Rob. :D

yeah if it starts roaring at you or hair starts growing over the rim, what do you do then?
Throttle it by any means necessary
but he goes on to make an even bigger pig’s ass of it by using milk!
Two heaped teaspoons of Nescafe Classic with a spot of milk is perfect for me, easy and quick. I've given up on percolators, presses and whatever else, it's not worth the bother.
When she was in her 90s, her favorite activity was visiting the elderly in the Old Folks Home to entertain them by singing Lutheran hymns to them.
This does everything (and I use it to make Coffee as well as expresso etc):

You want a Super-Automatic. I've had this unit since 2006, still going strong. I know the French Press makes better, but if you want really good coffee after pressing a single button (which is configurable), this is for you.
Wow even on the photography site U ask how to cock or boil water.
I think I was so good been away from cucu people..this getting bad...
how I can get free stuff? I hate anything free but look like if u want to survive U need all you can get.
I do not want go there BUt I think I will have to...Lord help me to just walk away and never die, to se others die for me!
The problem and sad reality is that even today, the TV ads, many doctors, and of course the National Dairy Council still extol the alleged milk benefits.
One spoon of milk in a cup of coffee or tea won't kill you, but a more substantial intake of dairy products may.
I posted previously in several threads links about myths and dangers of dairy consumption, but now the proof is in. A friend of mine (in her sixties) who got inspired by Amy Lanou's book "Building Bone Vitality" just got back her lab results after a year of modified diet and almost unbelievably, her bone loss not only stopped, but actually the bone density has increased (exactly as the book author predicted).
Well, I've certainly no intention of spending actual money on it, so I suppose I have to accept that I'll never know for sure, but the extracts I could read using Amazon's "look inside" feature strongly suggest that it's complete drivel. Another pointer to that supposition is that none of its ideas appear to have become widely accepted in the near-decade since its publication.

Is it indeed a 51-year old lady (on the left)? Or is it a picture of her mother?...
Is it indeed a 51-year old lady (on the left)? Or is it a picture of her mother? In this case, I would say she takes it too seriously. Or she works too hard.
Could be that in addition to the butter, the good looking lady on the right also added a touch of Photoshop. Or an old-fashioned make-up. Amazing what competent make-up-artists and Photoshop experts can do.

Back on topic an Aeropress for day to day coffee and any decent simple expresso machine such as a modestly Gaggia (unless Nigella has her own brand).Thank you for moving this back to the original topic. Maybe the rest of the Off topic nonsense will cease. +1 on a Gaggia, have had one (Super Auto) since 2005, makes great coffee.
Paradoxically, the thread, dormant since 2013, has been revived by that “off-topic nonsense.”Need instructions on how to start a new topic? One that's totally different than this one which clearly is about recommendations for coffee pots? Or easier to just hijack them as we see so often?
At least our “off-topic nonsense” had something to do with photography, Photoshop, and lighting ;)If a million posts are made off topic, they are still off topic! Have you no opinions and comments about coffee or is the agenda to Hijack another topic, demanding some unsubscribe thanks to such efforts? Answer the question by going back on topic or by moving on PLEASE.
That is an unkind photo of MacKeith who suffered controversy when she came close to passing herself off as a doctor of medicine by buying a PhD in some other subject. She always struck me as a silly person out to make a quick buck on TV.
As for Nigella, yes makeup but probably not photoshop and she does wonderful soft food porn in a very tongue in cheek way on UK TV. She fits the fantasy of UK men of a certain age (ie my age) very well indeed. I sometimes watch her programs and I think my wife uses a couple of her recipes. It helps that she is very wealthy and is pretty clever.

Andrew, the question was answered in 2013.It was?
Jeremy, I am going to report you to the moderator, for off-topic comments ;)
It was?
OK, thanks for forcing me to unsubscribe, that being the case!
Andrew, the question was answered in 2013. After nearly five years of hibernation, this thread was reactivated by Les with one of his many posts linking to the quack book he likes to plug. As far as I am concerned, it has long since lost its moorings and can drift in any direction anyone wants.

'Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants.' credit: Michael Pollan
It comes back to this. "Eat food, mostly plants, not too much".
Been there done that and while it's quite fun and makes strong coffee it somehow doesn't seem quite right for me outside of the middle east. I've had delicious coffee in Turkey and Greece made this way but it seems like it's one of those things that doesn't travel well - like Ouzo, lovely in Greece but in the UK?

Hot water kettle and an Aero Press. Small, cheap, simple and great coffee.
