5-Cup Mini Brew

I have a 5 cup all plastic Mr.Coffe I've used for 11 years without issue and it's still working like new. I finally said screw it and bought a Mochamaster just because I wanted one lol.

It’s just ok. Good beans in a basic machine will still taste nice. If you’re getting a good cup and have great beans I’d save your money. I like my machine ok. It’s made well and I like the idea that it’s repairable, but I was getting a good cup with a $19.99 mini Mr Coffee. Tbh when I go back and use that machine with my favourite beans, i actually prefer the cup I get with the Mr Coffee. So maybe if your machine is broken, then sure, get a Moccamaster. If not, then I would definitely at least wait for a good sale.

Fresh beans and a burr grinder. I have a Mr Coffee mini, which makes three decent cups in about 10 minutes. Also have a coffee sleeve/metal filter that I use to make cold brew. Aaaand we recently got a Casabrews espresso machine. Pray for me.

Nope. Pour over is a great way to make a single cup of coffee. I use a Chemex and a Kone. At the end of the day, it is just another way to expose ground up scorched coffee seeds to hot water. A lot of the machines have a minimum volume they can brew. M6 Bunn is 20 oz. For instance. But there are machines that have small batch settings (I believe the Precision does) and there are small machines like my son's Mr. Coffee 5-cup that will make a single cup. The only drawback to pour over is that you have to attend it for 3 minutes or so to do the pours where a machine is fire and forget. Keep in mind that you have to take this sub with a grain of salt. People here are really into the deep specifics and precision, which is fine, and often required with light roasts, but for the rest of us, just grab a V60, a Chemex or whatever dump your ground coffee in, fire up some hot water, do a bloom to soak the grounds, then maybe 3 more pours and coffee. Then, if you're me, dump in a bunch of sweetener and creamer. Excellent.

The only thing to worry about the Mr coffee maker is that the hot plate gets way too hot after brewing and will burn your coffee. Turn it off the moment its done brewing and if it gets cold just microwave it

I have a 5 cup Mr. Coffee and it makes coffee just fine! I wanted to spend the least and i don’t regret it!

Mr. Coffee 5 cup dripper $20, does the job
