This is the Coffee Room, right? Mrs. George is looking for a coffee maker that makes individual cups - preferably one that takes those little packets, so you don't need to measure. Any suggestions? |

Do you mean something like this? http://www.tassimodirect.com/home.aspx That one uses bar-coded discs so the scanner in the brewer customizes each drink. |

We bought ours when Braun was making them, now it's Bosch and they're a bit more, but with more model selections. There are other brewers like that, but I think Tassimo has the best brands and variety of drinks. The barcode thing is pretty clever. It will make a regular coffee or really kick up a velvety foam for my Jacobs sanft & mild coffee, I like that customization. |

I thought some people here recommended Keurig not long ago? I have no personal experience. I did try some Starbucks instant that I thought was pretty dang good though. Edited by Kincaid, Dec 2 2010, 02:39 PM.

Quirt has the ultimate coffee maker. It makes individual cups from prepackaged ingredients, just like Mrs. George is looking for. I can't remember the brand/model. [edit] I looked it up. I believe it's Keurig B70.

I said kruups earlier George - but I meant the Keurig. Lots of folks here at work use the "coffee pod" system, and swear by it. They're obviously not in the coffee club... Edited by KlavierBauer, Dec 2 2010, 03:06 PM.

That's what I do, but the Mrs. wants something else. I found an individual drip maker at Brookstone for $40. |

Just pop in a filter, and pour hot water through? |

Yep - put in as much or as little coffee as you want (I put in lots, some people want less potent coffee), and slowly pour hot water over. Basically works like a drip system - but you get to spread the water a lot more consistently. Pouring into those steep sides mixes up the grounds quite a bit, and ensures that you don't get the strata associated with normal drip machines, where the top gets just a quick soak, and the bottom gets all the water. |

Yes. That's the type we use every day here. We use the big one for the two of us. We are Minnesooootans, therefore we are coffee drinkers. (decaf now )

I know it's not as easy as a Keurig, with coffee pods - and it requires more "participation" - but it does make one darn good cup of coffee. |
