I own the old-fashioned Melitta cone that fits over a coffee cup, that utilizes a paper filter of size. I, either, heat up water in a Pyrex measuring cup, or my Corningware teapot.
I watched this machine come out on QVC, touted as the latest means to brew coffee, and now more, for the ridiculous price of $100.00. Those k-cups, of late, have been seen on the shelves, for $14 for 12. A standard container of ground coffee, which renders, at one scoop each, 30 or more cups, at the most I’ve seen is $7.
As it was, i watched all those machines go flying off the QVC warehouse shelves, at that ridiculous price, for something to brew coffee!!
Now, the creator of this invention, doesn’t use it, and has regrets creating it.
Actually they are pretty good machines; my wife bought me one 6 years ago when I retired up to the farm.
She also got me these little one cup screen filters to go with it, no paper filters to mess with and they can be washed and used over and over.
One 3 pound can of Folgers lasts me about 2 or 3 weeks.
I prefer my coffee one cup at a time because every time I would make a full pot by the time I drank it all it tasted burned and like crap.
