Time for a new coffeemaker

[fortyfeetunder]

My 8 YO Krups is getting electrically challenged, so it's time for me to find another 10 cup coffeemaker.

The features I am looking for are timers, auto shutoff. I don't need feature as autogrind. Any recommendations?

2. I switched to French press.

I heat the water in my electric kettle, grind the beans. Then I put the grounds in the French press, pour in the water, put on the top and wait for four minutes. When the coffee is brewed, I press and pour. the French press I own is insulated, so I make two cup at a time.

3. ARGH Coffee..... I can't open my eyeballs til I have coffe

i like a press, but at 4 am I need instant gratification

or is it instant caffineazation?

4. That is why I get my husband to start it before I get up.

Before the second child, he would bring it to me in bed, too. But those days are over. I have to haul my tired butt to the kitchen to get caffineazation now.

6. How fine a grind for French press?

I have a grinder, and a bunch of beans.

7. Coarse.

If you grind too fine, it clogs up the press.

8. is it a blade grinder? if so, save it for herbs

invest in a burr grinder for coffee ---- see website above for the reasoning.....

Makes great coffee. And a reusable filter, too.
