Coffee maker with best removable and reusable filter.
OK, this is serious.
The new room is finished to the point where I am thinking about getting a house coffee maker for casual entertainment of guests.
I want something that makes a whole pot drip style. I want that for convenience and so that I don't have to spend much time making coffee.
I have espresso and french press stuff for my enjoyment etc. but for this I'd like something that just made lots (or pots) of coffee available for guests and such over in the other building.
It seems like a great removable filter and super easy clean up is what I am looking for.
I seem to like the metal filter assemblies rather than the plastic ones with the metal screens. But that's just an impression of what I encounter when I travel and get put up at rentals... I haven't shopped yet or checked out which coffee maker brand is doing what.
Any thoughts?
Thanks.
best regards,
mike

Thank you.
I like those a bunch... but for the music area I want the process to seem less dramatic.
I don't want grabbing coffee to seem like yet another decision making process when I want to encourage guests to focus on the music decisions... if that makes any sense?
best regards,
mike

I have a coffee maker that brews small pots. A few cups, mostly since my wife doesn't drink coffee in the mornings. It has one of those filter baskets but, I started using the small filters since cleaning it out is a real PITA trying to get the grounds out of the built in basket/filter. I'm thinking most of the larger brew stations with the paper filters would be as easy as anything else. It only takes a short time to set up a new brew and a few seconds to dump the old one in the trash. The Keurig would however, allow your clients to brew one cup of their choosing when they wanted it. IMHO< that would be the best solution for the widest variety of tastes. One can have a dark roast, another decaf, and the next can have some sort of flavored concoction.

I typically just use my dirty underwear ... and I re-use them several times. Also, it adds an earthy or brown note to the coffee.

For time sake-I LOVE the Bunn my wife found.
It will make a full pot in about 2-3 minutes.
As far as cleaning, we just add a 1/2 cup of vinegar when it starts slowing down making, let it sit for a little bit and then cycle about 8 pots of water through it and its back to new.
You can add one of those metal reusable filters to it but if it was just going to be a casual here and there thing, Id stick with the paper filters.
The water tank stays on keeping the water warm at all times so I guess this is how it makes it so fast.

I used to have a coffee maker with a reusable filter, but went back to a basic Black and Decker with a paper filter. In the end, you had to throw out the grounds anyway, it was just as easy to throw the paper filter with it and was easier to rinse out. Mine is a pretty basic unit but has a programable timer. I set it up the night before and when I come out of the shower in the morning....smell of coffee awaits me.

Thanks everyone.
FWIW one reason I like the paper less idea is that I always toss the grounds out in the garden. The paper doesn't/would't hurt anything but I've been paper less with my espresso and french press for so long I don't really want to start adding paper remnants in the garden.
best,
mike

My mom has one with a reusable filter - never cared for the taste of the coffee (using the same coffee as I do). I also have one of the afore-mentioned Bunn's that hold water all the time and can brew a pot in 2-3 minutes - love it! (I'm on my third, I've been using these for many years.)

Forgot to mention what my Mom now uses (as well as several of my friends). No coffee pot or filters required and NO grounds to deal with. They all like it enough that they don't use their brewers any more.

I can't speak so much to the reusable filter as I use paper ones, but after much struggling to find an acceptable new maker after all the old ones we had ended up with either broken makers or carafes, I got one of these: http://www.amazon.com/Melitta-46894-10-Cup-Thermal-Coffeemaker/dp/B005L3NIRS The thermal carafe keeps the coffee hot/warm for hours (while using no power) and you don't have to worry about someone dropping the glass one. Couldn't be happier with it. I'd guess you could just find a reusable #4 filter that would fit.

Mike,
People have been shot over coffee down on this coast, lot'sa times.
I'm from extreme South Louisiana,*and since we rate coffee by viscosity index (i.e. 10-W-30, 20-W-40 etc), well yeah, we're serious about our coffee
Many of us can only drink it with chicory, which is a ground up and roasted weed, pretty much, and we literally have to ship French Market Yellow Stripe to those friends and family members who never made it back after Katrina.
However, I,at great cost and some peril,have found a coffee maker that's perfect here in Studio Bougalee.
It seems that old man Acme, (yep...THAT Acme), developed The Acme Coffee Making Lava Lamp just a few days before his tragic and violent death.
I was able to get one unit from Acme's grieving wife, which took a while,as she was wailing and crying and saying things about "...him and those fookin' springs...", I mean she just went on and on and on.
Bach home between high tides, I was soon able to see that while the unit made great molasses grade (weak) coffee, it could only make small batches of 55 gallons at a time. That's right, a mere drum full, which all of you can surely see is not nearly enough for me and my two studio cats Nervine and Scrotum, barely enough to bounce even a short audio track in S8.5.3.
AND even worse, it turned out to be monaural. Left channel only. Believe me, I know all about channels... at least I know all about navigation channels**
Obviously I hadda get another one fer stereo.
Fortunately,after much searching and a little light bribery, I have a second unit coming, as well as great investment opportunity, from a really nice gentleman in Nigeria, so all is well.
Hope this helps,
Tony S

Needs Bunn filters also, since they are just taller than other coffee filters.

Mike I think if I were looking at a bigger brewer I would look for one with a reusable filter, maybe a spare so you could run one through the dishwasher while using the other.
I tend to agree with the idea of a Keurig. I am cheap so I bought a reusable system for mine and I grind my own beans, but if your hosting several people who drink coffee and using a Keurig you would never need to clean another coffee pot or empty another filter. The guests could choose whatever they like from a selection.
The commercial Keurig machines are even more maintenance free. They have a water line attached so you never need refill water either.

These are good;  'Senseo' by Phillips. They take coffee 'pods' in a variety of strengths and the machine adds a 'crema' layer. The 'dark roast' has been a favourite here for years now.

gold coffee filters make the best REUSABLE filters.
but the best flavor comes from unbleached paper
melitta makes the best cone filters
the paper takes the bitter oils out.
the reusable ones, let them through.
some folks like bitter.

I hope you plumbed a separate bathroom too Mike. 10 coffee drinkers can be a handful, Eric cup full, Eric pot full know ant I mean.
Reminds me of the time I went to an auto repair in the country and asked for the bathroom( called a loo over the pond) anyways he pointed me to a corner where a curtain was hung and behind it.........was a funnel through the wall. Would I make something like that up?

Huh. So that's probably why I prefer my paper filters to my Mom's gold, reusable. It's definitely a different, more bitter, taste in my opinion - sounds like there's some reason to that!

There is a lot of coffeemaker to choose from in the market today. Before I bought my coffee maker machine, I used to read and search for several reviews online, and I’m glad I found the great information here at www.coffeemakerslist.com.
