August 13, 200817 yr I know that java-fi will probably have my head, but I need a good auto coffee maker for the morning. Yes, I have a French press, but I just don't have the time in the morning most days. So, here's what I need: a reliable coffee maker with a timer that makes good joe. Flavor over looks and not too expensive. Help me.
August 13, 200817 yr I've been using one of the Cuisinart 12-cup Grind & Brew models for about 4yrs now. I occasionally use the timer and it's never failed me but since it only takes about 10min. to brew a pot and the fact that the grinder is loud enough to wake me up I tend to leave it till I'm already away. Cuisinart - DGB-550BK

August 13, 200817 yr My recommendation is just to install an instant hot water tap in your sink, costs about $200 installed. And get a decent burr grinder for about $50. Set the number of cups, start the grinder, then get the hot water, add grounds, mix, wait 4 minutes. Great french press coffee quick and easy.
August 13, 200817 yr My housemate has an automatic coffee maker -- it's called a car: she drives to Starbucks.
August 13, 200817 yr Starbucks is what you drink when you need caffeine and can't get coffee or energy drinks
August 13, 200817 yr i need to get an espresso machine, at some point. You'll be first up against the wall when the revolution comes!
August 13, 200817 yr Starbucks is what you drink when you need caffeine and can't get coffee or energy drinks Wouldn't know -- I don't drink coffee.

I like this idea, but as lazy as it sounds, the French press just doesn't work for me during the week. Getting out of the house with The Little Monkey is hard enough as it is that I need to be able to just throw a switch. However, you've reminded me that I should be using the press every weekend.
August 14, 200817 yr I had a Zojirushi at home and have one at the office. The one at home had some issues but the one in the office that probably makes 4 or 5 pots a day has been perfect. It meets my two requirements, hot coffee and no warmer.
August 16, 200817 yr Well, not cheap, but one of the best you can get, imo JURA's coffee machines: IMPRESSA and SUBITO ::
August 16, 200817 yr Author HE DOESN'T HAVE TIME TO STIR AND PRESS A LEVER AND WAIT A FEW MINUTES! Precisely! You all know how infinitely precious my time is! I have time only to press a lever, none of this stirring nonsense.
August 19, 200817 yr dirt cheap and the best coffee I have ever had every time fast too. [url=http://www.aerobie.com/Products/aeropress_story.htm]Aerobie
August 19, 200817 yr What they call new isn't new at all. Very well known La Pavoni needs some hand work as well and I think the idea are pretty close to this simple AeroPress. If I were you, I would take a look at this one as well, NESPRESSO. https://secure.nespresso.com/precom/sima/selector_us_en.html dirt cheap and the best coffee I have ever had every time fast too.

August 19, 200817 yr That link is bad, and I can't find any models at nespresso.com that match that picture.
August 19, 200817 yr Seems that I can not change anything in my post:confused: Try this one pls, choose your country and here we go... And the machine on picture isn't NESPRESSO, it was an example of Italian handcraft La Pavoni http://www.lapavoni.com/ vs.. Aero thing, kind of.. Coffee machines and premium blends by Nespresso (The Netherlands)
August 19, 200817 yr I didn't have any trouble finding their website, and I still can't find a model that looks like the one from your picture. What model are you talking about?
August 19, 200817 yr Can you find it now? La Pavoni Official Website I didn't have any trouble finding their website, and I still can't find a model that looks like the one from your picture. What model are you talking about?
August 19, 200817 yr Can you just say what model you're talking about, instead of posting links to corporate websites?
