I got the simple porcelain ceramic pour over coffee maker 9 years ago and it has yet to fail me.

There are many reasons why I love this method and I’ll list them:

• Compact form, easily stored in a cabinet.
• Excellent tasting coffee
• No moving parts to fail
• Saves lots of money over crappy Keurig coffee (I’ve yet to have a single Keurig made coffee that wowed me)
• A simple toss of the paper filter into the trash and rinse and it’s clean as a whistle and ready for the next use

I want less stuff on our counters, not more.

Here’s a link to purchase one- https://amzn.to/3FskLMF

I use it with a small electric water kettle that stores away easily as well, link to purchase here- https://amzn.to/3Ietns1

9 years going and I make at least one coffee a day in it. By my calculations it’s saved me thousands by home brewing at a cost of under 35 cents per cup to brew at home.

The flatter surface is difficult to click on the new clickers while the older clickers are much easier to use. I’d recommend you hold on to your older clickers rather than “upgrade”.

The slightly raised arrow buttons are more of a miss when clicking them than a hit which can be frustrating and lead to a less enjoyable user experience.

Keep your head on a swivel out there folks!

Slow season…

I recently ordered this rack from Amazon for a little less than $50. The sale included an offer for “expert assembly” costing an additional $125 (you read that right…$125 to expertly assembly a towel rack…) I offered Jim a beer and it was assembled in about 10 minutes. It’s a crazy world we are living in……gotta wonder who orders $125 expert assembly for a towel rack? I will admit, there have been some late Christmas Eves when I would have gladly paid for toy assembly…….but not a towel rack. Really Amazon? C’mon…….
