Is it too much to find …

1. We need an additional coffee maker, as our decaf one (for parties) has sprung a leak. Alas, the Coffee Maker Biz has gone whole-hog for (a) individual mug style coffee makers and (b) internal reservoir coffee makers.

   We like having a thermal carafe, vs. a heating element (as our coffee style is to make a pot and drink it over the course of an entire morning). There are still some of those out there, but a lot of them have the world’s most awkward way of filling the maker with water.

   Oh, and the average amount of coffee I drink is a lot more than the “cup” that is touted in the ads. A 10-up pot is good for about 3-4 of our “cups” of coffee, tops. And we’re not talking about outlandishly oversized mugs, either. Again, harrumph.

   Maybe we’ll just get another carafe for our regular coffee maker, so that for those occasions where we need to make both regular and decaf, we can just do it in sequence.

2. Eh, why wouldn’t you want a grinder?

3. I have a grinder. Plus grinders add another $50-100 to the price.

   I feel about combo grinder/brewer systems the same as I feel about All-in-One printer/fax/scanner/copiers … they’re a great idea, as long as you’re willing to toss the whole thing out when one piece of it stops working.
