How to Make a Great Cup of Coffee...

So how many different coffee pots have you had over the years?




The CLASSIC:

I think I always purchased Mr. Coffee brand.





The KEURIG:  

Of course, I've always had the "Go BIG or Go HOME" model


Let's get honest, these don't last.  Luckily the company supported their product and sent free replacements.  However, I think they aren't quite as accommodating as a few years ago.  Get out your paper clips to try to fix it.

MR. COFFEE ESPRESSO MAKER:

At one point, I thought espresso was the way to go.  It is pretty good if you take the time to steam and froth the milk.  I still have it, but only use it once in awhile.  It is good if you are going to travel for the day...more caffeine less liquid intake. :)

The ELECTRIC PERCOLATOR:

I never had one of these, but my father-in-law always gave me coffee out of one.
 I remember it being pretty strong, but it was always hot all day long.
Honestly, the coffee grounds on the loose kind of scare me.

BACK TO THE BASICS:

I was looking into these coffee pots, and come to find out...my mom had one from years ago!  I guess I don't need to buy one.  It makes a great cup!  All you need is hot water!






Here is a more expensive, yet very modern and appealing version.  It essentially does the same thing as the black mug my mom gave me - but on a "more caffeine" scale.
