Mr. Coffee - 5-Cup Mini Brew

5 cup Mr coffee machine. Supercheap, Walmart akwasy has them and it's reliable, easy to maintain. It's small so it could go anywhere you want in your home. Anything else is rather large and consumes too much space in most apartment kitchens or pantries

I have 2 ways depending on my time and inclination: 1). AeroPress, this little gadget will make a single perfect cup of coffee. It will take you a bit of experimentation to find the right amount of grounds for your taste (I use 2 level tbsp for 1 mug of coffee) but it is fast and easy. 2) I have a small 5 cup Mr Coffee that I got from Walmart for about $19. This makes 2 mugs of great coffee, but it takes a little longer than the AeroPress. I drink the hot coffee once made, the other cup goes in the fridge for Iced Coffee the next day.

I’ve had a $20 5 cup Mr. coffee for 10 years - still going strong. Makes my daily coffee with no whining. I use filtered water (under sink filter) so that helps keeps it from scaling. The bigger version is probably just as good.

It might be slightly better, but the thing that’ll make the highest difference is the quality of your beans and grinder. I wager I could get a good cup out of a $15 Mr. coffee with my setup.

American who visited family in Poland: why do y'all use that instant coffee stuff where you add a spoonful to a cup of hot water? It's like the worst way of having a coffee. At minimum do yourself a favor and get a Mr.Coffee or a French Press.
