Who's The Coffee Drinkers Here

if you drink a pot in about an hour, you could give a press a try or maybe a tea pot press. Even Folgers/Columbia tastes A LOT better through a french press or metal screen drip filter instead of paper. The paper tends to filter out a lot of the oils that make coffee taste good.
The Bodum Columbia is a great 12 cup french press if you can finish it before an hour as the thermos will likely start to cool.
The Bunn BTX is a nice carafe (doesn't burn the coffee like a percolator or glass coffee pot), while it's only a 10 cup, it brews in 3 minutes, that's QUICK! But it does use a paper filter, not a screen.
I know both the BTX and Bodum Columbia are both normal size but they're both pretty quick and won't burn the coffee, the Columbia press is awesome because it's a 12 cup press insulated carafe, so you'll get all the oils/flavor and it'll keep it warm for a while.
I've been looking for a larger pot, press or carafe for our shop but anything more than 12 cups gets you into the commercial/industrial lines and it's prohibitively expensive, like a couple hundred to a few thousand dollars. For that price I can brew several batches a day and it's always fresh.

I'm into simple. To be real honest I don't even know what a coffee press is. I got a grinder and i use a screen filter in my mr coffee but that's about the extent of my know how.
And I'm tryin to choke down some Folgers Gourmet Columbian stuff right now that somebody gave 5 pounds a beans of, this stuff is nasty. My normal is the Eight O Clock Dark Beans, the cheap **** that's my flavor.

I go days without it when I'm on the road or it's just not convenient to have it around but when it's here i drink it. But I also drink almost nothin as far as soft drinks. It's either coffee or water unless I'm out to dinner and then it's tea.
I also don't know how they measure the cups on the coffee pots. I got a half dozen mugs I rotate through and they all hold about 8 cups in each filling according to the pot numbers. So in my world I get about a 1 1/2 cups out of a pot.
