There is nothing like walking into the kitchen thinking that your coffee has been brewing and is ready for you only to find that the coffee filter was not in correctly and you have water sitting in the filter and half a cup of coffee in your holder… sigh…
I use the Gevalia “Gevalia Coffee for Two“ since I am the only one in this house that drinks coffee. (Got it for free when I joined their club – actually this is my 2nd one been using this coffee pot for about 2-3 years now). It’s easy because I don’t have to make a whole pot of coffee. I can make one of these jumbo cups just for myself. The coffee maker also takes regular coffee (not those pad things) so I can use whatever coffee I want. I tried those single cup makers that came with the pads awhile back but hated that I couldn’t use my own coffee.
I have never actually used the right side of this coffee maker. lol! I only make myself a large cup. I see they have a personal maker similar to this. Not sure you can get that one for free though.
