How many coffee makers do you own?

In My Humble Opinion
1

I got thinking about this yesterday when a woman I work with asked to borrow my coffee pot because she was going to be entertaining and did not own one. :eek:

I own an old fashioned percolator that my grandmother gave me. A one cupper that makes a cup right into a travel mug. A combo toaster oven/4 cup coffee pot. And a regular 12 cup pot. I almost forgot, I also have a French press and a cappuccino maker.

So, she and I seem to be one extreme to the other. How many coffee makers do you have?

I own two- the one with the timer that sits on the counter that I use every day, and the one that sits on the shelf in the closet in case of emergency.

:confused: I don’t know. Let’s see…

Only 3.

An automatic drip that we use every day.
A small Krups cappuccino/espresso machine.
A 3-cup stovetop aluminum moka.

5

Oops - forgot the French press I keep at work.

:smack: Okay, I have eleven.

  1. Electric, no timer, six cups or so. It gets used once every five years or so when my grandmother comes to visit. It was free, as it was the old one from my mom’s office and wasn’t big enough once they hired more people. For some reason, though, I’ve got like 6 million coffee filters.

Okay, I like coffee, but it seems I’m just a n00b when it comes to caffeinated hot drinks.
I’ve got two machines at home, one auto-drip for everyday use and one auto-drip/espresso/capuccino-combo for Sunday morning kickback coffees.

At work we got some plumbed-in monsters which produce high-caffeine waste-oil sludge that keeps us climbing to the walls well into the evening, so I don’t require much caffee at home during the week.

-Tama.

1 12 cup Krups
1 espresso maker

10

I have a 4-cup drip, a 10-cup drip, and two French Presses.
I use one FP for coffee and one for tea.

11

One stovetop percolator
one 12 cup auto drip pot
one Krupp expresso maker

12

I have an electric percolator (I love perced coffee. I don’t know why.) and a non-functioning espresso machine on top of the fridge that I haven’t been able to get a new seal for. I really need to pitch it.

13

I don’t own…I lease. :smiley:

I’ve only got one. Looks like I am an amateur around here.

14

What a great idea. I’m going to have to try that.

15

Two. One at the office (free Krups from Gevalia (wretched coffee)), and one at home (it has a timer, so I can have fresh coffee when I wake up). I mostly drink the coffee they provide at work, now that they’ve switched to a decent brand.

16

I have a Mr. Coffee with a timer that started leaking all over the counter after about a year so I can’t really use it with the timer function anymore. (It’s not the pot that leaks, it’s coming from the machine).
I have a small 4 cup coffee maker packed away somewhere.
I have at least one microwave percolator that I never use, I might have two but I think the second one is missing some parts.
I have a stove top coffee maker thing my mother gave me that’s probably for espresso but I use it for regular coffee.
I also have an electric espresso/cappuchino machine.
So at least 5 or 6.

17

A giant espresso/cappuchino machine. It’s a $500 oversized paperweight.
2 French presses, never get used.
A 4 cup auto drip, just bought.
Me, learn my lesson? Never.

18

Ummm. Let me start counting…
Three espresso machines (only one of which is in use).
Two French presses, somewhere, never used.
One ‘regular’ coffee machine.
Three or four ‘drip-o-laters’ of varying sizes. (One of which is a 15 cup one, IIRC.)
Three moka pots, of various sizes.
And… er…

At least a dozen percolators (including a Pyrex one) that range from ‘makes barely a mouthful’ to ‘Oh My God’.

Admittedly, I do collect vintage percolators, so it kinda skews the results. :wink:

19

Wow, am I the only person here who’s just got one? A Zojirushi 4-cup electric drip.

I drink a lot of coffee, and I’ve always wondered if those very expensive machines are any good. Toshiba makes one where it grinds the beans, and makes the coffee…it is around $180.00. Is the complexity worth it?
