Looking for recommendations. My Cuisinart programmable coffee maker got knocked off the counter by my cats. It still works, but is probably ready to be replaced. I really love my Chemex, but there are many days when I just don't have the time for it. So I'm looking for something more automatic that will still produce a great cup of coffee. What say you?

aeropress isnt automatic but its fast

tho im sure there must be some ~best~ drip machine, iirc the problem with most drip machines is the temp isnt controlled/hot enough

lag∞n, Thursday, 3 August 2017 15:17 (eight years ago)

I will buy pretty much whatever the Wirecutter and the Sweethome tell me to in most product categories so here you go

bialettie moka pot is fast and very low maintenance

marcos, Thursday, 3 August 2017 15:33 (eight years ago)

cheap too

marcos, Thursday, 3 August 2017 15:33 (eight years ago)

i don't know why but i suck at making coffee with drip machines

marcos, Thursday, 3 August 2017 15:34 (eight years ago)

its because drip machines are bad

lag∞n, Thursday, 3 August 2017 15:42 (eight years ago)

Bonavita is great. Also low maintenance.

is a mr coffee style machine actually any quicker than an aeropress? you have to wait for the water to get hot then let gravity pull it through. w aeropress you force it through in approx 20-30 seconds. also i feel weird just making one cup , or even two cups with a coffee machine.

yeah a coffee machine is definitely for 5+ cups imo

mh, Thursday, 3 August 2017 18:12 (eight years ago)

which you're gonna drink anyway but it's fun to use the aeropress every once in a whikle

mh, Thursday, 3 August 2017 18:12 (eight years ago)

imo a really coffee lover should have all the machines

What could you program it to do?

illegal economic migration (Tracer Hand), Thursday, 3 August 2017 20:42 (eight years ago)

Old tricks iirc

Kind of thing

My cats and I are not amused.

Aeropress is too manual and doesn't make enough coffee. I already have the Chenex for that.

two months pass...

I got one of those expensive light roast “geisha” coffees as a birthday present, roaster is called Paradise. Honestly it’s good but I feel like there might be a horseshoe theory with this at one end and fresh diner coffee at the other.

I fucking love coffee but I had to quit. Too corrosive for my stomach, full stop. Thankfully, black tea is a marvelous substitute.

After seven years of strategic incompetence that resulted in coffee being served to me by spouse, I am now actually making my own cappuccinos with the Silvia machine. Still working on my technique, particularly milk texturizing.

I can't believe I just typed "milk texturizing."

A labor of love. I miss it. The La Pavoni has been out of commission for a couple years and just isn’t practical with little ones around. But it’s the best coffee.

had a brief panic attack because my brain thought I was looking at a coworker's computer and they were looking at ilx

mh, Thursday, 7 December 2017 16:08 (eight years ago)

i get uncannily weirded out by views of ilx that are not based on old.css

The coffee place downstairs from my hotel appears to make a cappuccino-style drink with frothed hot orange juice instead of milk and I’m 20% intrigued and 80% disgusted.
