I read some of the reviews and the <a href="http://www.target.com/Michael-Graves-Design-Automatic-Coffeemaker/dp/B000FVU4A0" rel="nofollow">Michael Graves Design drip coffee maker</a> looks very tempting. I like that the water reservoir is removable, that it can be used with a reusable filter basket, that it's programmable and the price point is very appealing. A couple of my co-workers suggested that I get a <a href="http://www.keurig.com/" rel="nofollow">Keurig</a> since this is a single coffee drinker home but the K-Cups are bloody expensive and I am yet to meet somebody that uses their reusable cartridge. They all rave about how great the coffee is but it seems like a lot of counter and cabinet (for all the K-Cups that come with the unit) real estate for a one cup brewer.<br /><br />I'm going to give the French press a three month trial then decide if I'm a) going to keep drinking coffee (I had planned to quit in March but changed my mind again) b) will be drinking more than 2 cups a day c) can get over my "I won't drink coffee if it's more than two hours old" hang-up so I can brew a full pot and microwave cups as I want them. Why three months? I contemplated paying for a one year <a href="http://www.pandora.com/" rel="nofollow">Pandora</a> subscription but decided to try it on a month to month basis as I ran out of free hours; I stopped running out of free hours after three months.Kitchen Penguinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03959889812105549363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6845362659576704423.post-46744788213175738872010-02-22T14:06:41.941-05:002010-02-22T14:06:41.941-05:00I have two ways of making coffee at my house and o...I have two ways of making coffee at my house and one of them involves a french press that I also use at Pennsic. However, my usual coffee maker is the Michael Graves Design one with the big blue light in front. What convinced me to try it was that it had a removable (and washable) water resevoir and that it would produce two different strengths of coffee at a touch of a button. Yeah, it kind of looks like it should be called "Zul", but on the days I want a "chewier" coffee, I can have it and in a 12 cup quantity.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
