Again the extra work amounts to rinsing the grind cup and holding a button for 12 seconds.

Obviously you love espresso in the morning, it seemed to me that the OP wanted a coffee maker that maybe has espresso capabilities... or maybe not. That's what I based my recommendation on. coffee. If you add up the time rinsing the grind cup, holding the button for 12 seconds and scrubbing your tongue so you don't have to leave home with espresso-tongue, I'll have already downed my coffee and been out the door

It is not. It is a coffee maker. Did you read the title to this thread or the OP's original post?

My new Keurig (POS) went back to Costco tonight. Broken, of course.

No more high-tech coffee makers for me. My simple pour-over brewer, Frieling French press, and gooseneck kettle (w/thermometer) are all indestructible, fast, cheap, and make really yummy coffee.

Lesson learned.

Has to be some middle ground between a pour over and marginal automatic brewer.

My biggest issue with pour overs and presses is they usually are single or double serve solutions. I want to brew at least 3 or 4 servings.

For exactly that reason, I own two sizes of Frieling presses. When I want 1-2 cups, I use the smaller one; and when I need 3-4 cups, I use the larger one.

The Freiling open spout is a weakness though if you're trying to keep things warm for longer than half an hour or so. If I need more than my 32oz Freiling, it's actually easier to just do two or more pour over batches and put them directly into an insulated carafe. Plus you don't have the mud of a press so guests are less scared.

Well, you might not want the grounds in a Frieling to keep brewing for that long, anyway. It could make your coffee stronger than some guests might like, no? Two tips related to premature cooling: You can try preheating your Frieling, so that it'll retain heat much longer; just fill it with very hot water for a few minutes before you begin the brew process. And, try wrapping a small towel over the spout to lock in the heat better. BTW, you may get fewer grounds in a cup – especially true for the first cup or two – if you just do a shallow plunge (try just 1-2"), and then pour slowly. There's never a reason to do a deep/full plunge, IMO.

You probably knew everything I mentioned, but maybe some others here can learn a few handy new tricks.

I have this at my office "Capresso 465 CoffeeTeam TS 10-Cup Digital Coffeemaker with Conical Burr Grinder" and we love it. Have been using it for a little over a year and we get compliments all the time from our clients.

At home I use the baratza encore grinder and do a pour over and love that as well. Pour over is a little more hands on but it is worth it.

I'm in love with my coffee maker. Five feet tall, 118 pounds, small c cups and an amazing ass that jiggles when she makes coffee. I have stopped drinking coffee but I love watching her make it.

Some people just want to push a button and watch the magic happen, I am not one of those. If you can boil water, measure coffee and use a scale then perhaps a Chemex is for you. About $80 for the Chemex, filters and coffee will get you started.

Is the Chemex even needed if going that route?

No, any pourover will do. I use a Bee House into a thermos. I've tried glass carafes but they just cool off too fast. But if I'm honest, I dislike the paper filter and generally rotate between press and espresso. Pour over and drip are too tea like, even when heavily over dosed.

The unique Hario is my pick for a quickie one-cup pour over, but it's for emergencies only since any paper filter will inherently remove the beans' flavorful oils and leave the coffee too simple tasting.

For everyday brewing, nothing beats a Frieling double-wall stainless French press. Fast. Easy. And foolproof.

Last year, I bought, tried, and returned a pair of K-cup machines which couldn't come close to the Frieling for flavor. The cost and complexity of specialty machines don't appeal to me, either.

Here's my entire arsenal. Two sizes of the Frieling, a gooseneck kettle with thermometer, a Capresso burr grinder, and the Hario.

Need an extra stainless Capresso (the one with a grounded plug)? I have one sitting around. Been using my Orphan Lido 2 for everything. The Capresso just makes me mad with espresso since I've switched over to a non pressurized basket.

I have a 36oz Frieling, I think it's 15 years old, haven't had to replace a thing. The screen is a little worn, but still going strong. I used to keep a smaller Bodum around but got mad at how bad it was and smashed it.

Rereading the last two paragraphs, it appears coffee makes me mad.

For one cup, it's tough to beat a Clever, although you do have to boil water. It's like a melitta cone with a built in stopper that releases when you set it on your cup. Steep for 4-5 minutes and you have a full bodied cuppa free of debris.

This is the same setup that I have. I actually keep the Chemex on one of my burners, at the lowest setting, to keep it hot.

I highly recommend Breville Oracle Touch if you are willing to spend $2500.

I had Jura, Gaggia and Gaggenau machines before and like the Breville the most.
