New Coffee Maker - this thing is unbelieveable!

Does anyone else here use an iced-ted machine? I got one because I figured it was cheaper than buying Snapple or 2-liters of Lipton.

I make sun tea. It’s really, really good and no special equipment needed.

I personally don’t see the importance of a thermal carafe anyway. That’s what microwaves are for. Once the coffee is brewed, I pour myself my first cup, then turn the burner off. Coffee that hasn’t been sitting around on the burner will nuke back to life quite well.

Reheating coffee can harm the flavor.

It’s a very complicated contraption called a 4-cup measuring cup. I grind the coffee like I would for french press, which is fairly coarse. Dump the grinds in the cup, fill with water, stir well, cover with a bit of plastic wrap to keep the dust out of it, and let it sit for 12-24 hours. Then strain the coffee through a very fine sieve, not forgetting to put a bowl or something underneath, and Bob’s your uncle.

Hrm. I guess I thought filtering it would be harder than that. I’d like to make large quantities at once, though.
