LOL! Cederq would be snorting ground espresso beans.
My last coffee maker was a black & decker and lasted 10 years. As a final act of love, it made a pot of coffee before dying. Now that my friends is devotion to its owner.
We easily have a couple dozen ways to make coffee (I’m too lazy to try to tally them all), from my mother’s 1950 Proctor-Silex up to my wife’s Keurig . And a half dozen alternative heat sources, including the woodstove if need be. Also a good stock in the pantry from prior to the recent price inflation. Priorities of course.
after moving up here and installing the wood stoves, I bought a old type coffee pot.
sit on the stove and perks coffee. finding a good filter is a bit of a problem though.
got around that by drilling a hole to fit the stem of the one now and still fit inside the basket. I think they grind the coffee beans too fine now for the old style basket to work well. when the power is working I use a older Cuisinart 12 cup model with a thermal carafe which they don’t make anymore or carry parts for either (fuckers! )
seems like 10 cup is the biggest you can get these days (?)
as I had this one over 10 years now, I guess I should start looking for a replacement one here soon. a good coffee pot/maker is hard to find these days
unless you want one of those stupid single cup things ?
I mean how long would it take to fill up your thermos if you did it one cup at a time ? and yes. I still have and use my old as hell Stanley thermos for the last 30 years or so now. they are well worth the money !
my dad had one that was run over one time and he needed a pick to get it out of the ground ! my brother has it still.
Stanley used to have a lifetime guarantee (and maybe still does) on their steel thermos’s. Many years ago I knew of guys who would toss their old beat up one under the track of a cat, mash it flat, and send it back, saying it was “defective, won’t hold heat”. They would get a new one in the mail, no questions asked.
I bought a steel Stanley 50+ years ago after dropping my full glass one early one morning on opening day of fishing season. Still have it. Works fine.
As to coffee pots, somehow or another I had two Mr. Coffee’s die in about 18 months. I broke out my old (also 50+) Farberware percolator using it while I decided on something new. Even using filters, there were grounds in the finished product, which I detest.
I now have an Italian made sortofa percolator that makes great coffee 10 ounces at a time. Kind of a pain, in that you have to wait for the pot to cool before loading up a fresh batch. I live with it. Stainless steel sinks make great heat sinks.
That’s one of those fancy machines. Brother gave me one, made good coffee. Daughter has it now, I will stick with my Mr. Coffee.
That is not funny! And atrocious at the same time, spelling and sentence structure be damned, eh? Two can play the grammar nazi, expert level.
He would be main lining Nescafé by noontime
Nescafe’? You are a mean, sadistic Alaskan gnome!
