5-Cup Mini Brew

My newer Mr Coffee (5 cup) is starting to die on me after only 2.5 years. I had an older version that lasted a long time without issue; lost it in a move. The older models were superior to the new.

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

I've had a simple Mr Coffee 5 cupper for almost 7 years. Still works great, I clean it with vinegar about once a month. I've also had French Presses that have lasted forever. Those are nice in case the power goes out.

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.

Depends on your budget, really. I gave a multi-function Ninja one to the weddings I was invited to one year, every one of them got lots of thanks. I also have a Mr. Coffee plain-ass drip machine that cost $12 and has lasted longer than one of my used cars.
