15. Sorry. I gave up on electric coffee makers long ago in favor of the Pour-over system...

Mon Mar 16, 2026, 11:45 AM

Yesterday

Since I have had a hot water boiler (from Zojirushi) for nearly 15 years with zero issues that lets me set the water temp of the water (different sizes but mine is 3 liters) and to use filtered water, I'm all set. Tea, coffee, hot chocolate, cooking needs--all there at a push of a button. My little ceramic pour-over device (Bee House makes mine--from Japan) with a paper unbleached filter gets the coffee ready in 2-3 minutes at most. I use Arabica coffee but not the most expensive by any means as I tend to buy pre-ground coffee.

I highly recommend this.
