Does not need to be Q related.
I need suggestions for a 4-cup coffee pot. I only drink two cups a day, and my husband likes cold brew (blech) with his Dorothy contraption, so it doesn't need to be a big pot for just me. Currently I use a reuseable K-cup and Keurig for a single cup and it's getting old to deal with cleaning up the grounds I spill trying to get them into the little cup. First World problems, I know. Reeeeee.
I just have one of those Melita cones, I boil a small pan of water, put the ceramic cone over the cup, put the filter in , and use about a serving spoon of coffee, my son bought a coffee maker because he thought i was being a cavewoman doing it that way, but I think it tastes better and there is never any waste. Been doing that for oh, 40 years or so.
I've seen those. Thank you!!!
I've switched to drinking instant coffee. Quick, no mess, no waiting time and I've grown to like it just fine.
I have a big 2-cup mug and use 1 tsp caffeinated and 1 tsp decaf + a splash of my favorite organic milk and a Sweet 'n low packet and I am good to go.
2 1/2 minutes in the microwave, and DONE. The blend of the two flavors is very good.
My current fave is T_ster's Choice, House blend.
I haven't tried instant coffee in so long.
Ninja coffee system. I've had mine going on 8 years. Love it! 4 size brews: single, traveler, 1/2 and full pot. Makes a strong full bodied brew. Steam is blasted over the grounds, then after that brews.
It's not cheap, but prior to this I'd had them all, and nothing compares!!
Great....now I'm going to have to get one. Sounds perfect. I don't know what I'd do without coffee, scotch, and classical music, but I digress...😃
Ooohh! I will look that up!
Everyone loves my coffee. I do a traveler every morning, about 16 oz of coffee. You can brew directly into your mug or travel cup
Kek. That reminds me of this:

Thank you! I don't use the disposable ones anymore.
French Press?
I have tried one, and have one, but I don't like it too much. I like my coffee piping hot and blaaaack without using a microwave.
Anything you find in good condition at a local antique store; the older the better as will generally be better quality and made in the USA.
Otherwise, if you have an Ace Hardware in your area, check the kitchen/cooking aisle and pick up the small Bunn coffee machine.
I frequent estate sales. I'll keep an eye out. Thanks!!!
Oooh!! Thanks!!
