4 cup Mr. Coffee....with computerized timer. I'm in the process of unwrapping it now....a brand new one. I wouldn;t have mentioned it apart from the fact that I think this is one of those machines that make modern life possible. |

You don't have a grind and brew? You set the timer for the morning and it grinds the beans and then brews your coffee.
So fresh! |

I almost bought it. Kinda. I thought about it. It was right there on the shelf. I don't usually endorse manufactured products but the Mr. Coffee is right up there with the wheel. |

Are you going to change your handle to "Agent Baristiere" ???
PS: why are men so obsessed with totally useless gadgets??
What is wrong with a perfectly simple cafetiere??? (You can even make coffee with one in the office when there's a powercut, piling furniture up and setting fire to it....) |

Only drawback to my machine is it's freakin' loud'; like chainsaw loud. That thing goes off at 6am and it sets off car alarms and all the dogs in the neighborhood bark like mad.
Coffee tastes excellent though! |

4 cups? I'd need to make 8 pots a day!
I have a Krups. 12 cup pot. I go through 2-3 pots a day. We have one of those Bunn in line water thingys at work. Brews it right into an air pot. With all the cops stopping in to fill up their thermoses n stuff, we probably make 4-5 pots a shift.
Emergency services are fueled by java.
Whenever my Krups dies(I've had it for almost 20 years...), I'll be getting one of those grind & brews. My parents have one and it makes really excellent coffee. |

Krups? Is that the mail order deal that supplies the coffee too? The only complaint I've got about this Mr. Coffee is the burner doesn't keep the coffee hot enough.
But it seems like I'll have to check out this grind and brew.

Probably. I think Krupp supplied munitions in WWII as well. Probably some with financing arranged by Prescott Bush. |

You must have ordered the venti.
This is why so many Americans are fat; we do not know what normal sizes are anymore. |

fuck mr coffee in the ass
in like the last 2 years I went through 2 mr coffees, first one just went to shit, the 2nd had the fancy caraffe thermos that you'd always not screw the lid on right when you were in a hurry and wind up having to clean grinds n shit off all over the counter, plus you had to unscrew said lid everytime you wanted to pure a cup, and it seemed to brew really slow.
So I ordered one of those freeby Genovia(s?) coffee makers, they'll send you the coffee maker plus some packages of their gourmet brew, u might pay s/h, don't recall, but it'll put any $40-$60 Mr. Coffee rig to shame. I've had one before, the only reason I quit using it was because I got the mr coffees as gifts

The only problem is that beans grounded too fine can make the coffee a little too smooth in texture and taste. Watch it.

Bean through a few machines over the years! Currently on a Senseo. Very efficient but I miss the freshly ground taste so have ordered some kind of plastic pads in which i can add my own grind to the Senseo. So! Back to my grinding machine. Its a Bodum. Amazing machine (just for grinding beans). Select type of grind. Select number of cups. One serious drawback is the bloody mess it makes. It takes on a static charge and the grinds fly everywhere when you take them out! Even the manufacturer has been unable to overcome 'fault' |
