My sister does not own a coffee maker.
Even before I drank coffee, I owned a tiny, automatic drip machine for guests, mostly because my parents drank coffee.
I'm having some premium Valencia OJ this morning and boy does it taste yummy.
Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

and my BIL does drink coffee, but I guess not in the house.

I don't have a coffeemaker, but I have a drip cone and filters, and a stovetop percolater. Both of which make enough mess that I really need to have coffee to make coffee. And frankly, I live a five minute walk from a mall that has at least three coffee places in it, so I usually get coffee from there.

I went back to the cone and electric kettle method a few years ago (I think on JessiMoon's recommendation?) and I still love it. If I could afford a new fancy-schmancy espresso machine like I used to have that might be tempting, but I have no desire for a usual drip maker.

I don't know if I can take credit, but I've been a longtime user of the electric kettle + cone filter method. It's the best way I know to make 1 cup at a time fast, and the cones are so cheap that if I wanted to I could buy a bunch of extras and make as many cups at a time as I have mugs.

Happy Birthday DCJ! Happy Anniversary Jilli and Pete!
Happy Halloween!
I have a stovetop espressomaker thing like this:http://www.laprimashops.com/Bialetti-Moka-Express-Stovetop-Espresso-Maker-12-Cup_p_35-764.html but mine cost $6.00 in the Hispanic section of the grocery store, and only makes 3 cups. But preferable to drip coffee for the price, I think.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Happy birthday, Daniel! Happy Anniversary, House of Reason!
I didn't want you to go either!
Ditto that.
I once woke up in a house with no way to make anything but instant coffee. It was traumatic.

I do the kettle on the stove+ cone filter. But I only drink one cup a day.
I swear, I have something like 3 french presses, which, great when I have company, but why do Ihave 3?!! I didn't buy a single one!

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I almost never have coffee at home anymore. Extra sleep is just too tempting. The free office coffee is also really spoiling - if/when I change jobs I really hope they have similar machines.
ION - I am taking a half day today and really need to get moving so SOMETHING is done, a wasted day is not good..

I have a wee drip coffee maker at home that I love because it has a clock on it and the coffee can be ready when I get up in the morning to go out with the dog. At 6 a.m. I'm not thinking so much about quality as about just getting enough caffeine in my system to function.
