Vintage GE Potbelly Percolator and new Tassimo by Bosch
The morning coffee preparation in our house has been comical this year. We thought we had cashed in big time at Adam’s work Christmas party last year when we won a Grind & Brew coffee maker by Cuisinart. I actually made Adam trade a cordless drill for the coffee maker! I swear every time I drank good coffee at someone elses house they always credited their Cuisinart coffee maker.
DO NOT PURCHASE THIS COFFEE MAKER
Disaster from A to Z, it was an adventure every morning, some mornings we got a jammed grinder, sometimes just plain hot water, sometimes it overflowed, but everyday the door holding the filter basket would pop open during the brewing so one of us had to stand there forcefully holding it shut.
My thoughtful mom came to the rescue and bought me an amazing Tassimo coffee maker by Bosch that I love and it makes perfect coffee quickly and easily every time. Thanks Mom!! The only problem is that my tree-hugging husband does not like to produce garbage. The Tassimo does use a small plastic pod of coffee grinds to make a delicious serving of coffee. So for him I have broken out my adorable 1950 GE Potbelly Percolator which my Dad bought for me years ago at a flea market for $10 (I see the same model for sale all the time for about $50 online). The only casualty was my vintage Kitchenaid which has gone back into storage to make space for our 2 coffee makers.
