Black & Decker Thermal Carafe

Capreso espresso machine

French Press

It duplicates the brewing process of a French press and then seperates the coffee from the grounds so that brewing doesn’t continue.

Bunn, with a steel tank.

Kept breaking carafes until I got a used Krups carafe. Others seemed to break at the slightest excuse.
