Ya your problem is the Senseo. My parents have one of those Keurig machines and I have been very unimpressed by the cup at a time coffee it makes. Bad coffee combined with bad brewing.Grrr...I'm almost considering not drinking coffee anymore. I have a Senseo and I've decided it's pretty much worthless and really expensive. I like coffee in the morning, but I want more than 6oz! And I hate being limited to 5 different blends of less than fresh coffee. Not to mention, 12 coffee pods cost $5, it's hardly cheaper than Starbucks and the quality is nothing like what they claim. It's ok, but not great, and not noticeably better than a drip. Can anyone recommend a good drip maker for under say...$50? I'd grab an Aeropress but I'm back to 1 cup again. I'd rather just fill the tank, add the coffee and get like 4 cups to fill my travel mug and be done. Can I get good coffee this way or am I doomed?
(Sorry to sort of hijack the thread!)
I got this drip maker from BBandB for $24 with a coupon:
It may not be anything special, but it is a nice 4-cup drip machine that uses the Melita triangle filters (which I prefer to flat bottom ones). I am more than happy with the coffee it makes. I also like how the hot plate turns off 30 minutes after you start brewing. That way it keeps the coffee warm, without getting the chance to reduce it down, since the burner turns off before that can happen. If you think about it, you really wouldn't want to drink coffee that was been brewed ~25 minutes ago (not really fresh anymore), so it is good that it stops keeping it warm.
