well i use to have a problem with having to make many pots a day..................so i got a wife and she is pretty good at keeping up on it for me, i am the same way, i drink it with everything. guys at work can't figure out how i can drink hot coffee instead of water when its as hot as it is now. just dont' bother me much i guess. hits the spot better.

 

Get you one of those thermal pump top carafes. Some will hold 2+ pots. They'll keep your coffee hot and keep air/oxygen out. Coffee starts going bad right after roasting, then brewing starts the process again. The key is to keep oxygen away from the coffee for as long as possible.

 

clearly the answer to keeping oxygen away is to put your coffee maker in a welding chamber filled with inert gas! No really, I've thought of that before now, too.

 

I drink about 2 pots myself.. and chew. Usually at the same time. I will drink whatever kind of coffee is around, as long as it is hot and black. I'm not big on the fancy stuff, tho. The stronger, the better!

 

I get the same thing Chad, its from the caffeine, I get the same thing from drinking soda pop......I havent drank soda regularly for 8 years now, if I do drink it its in very limited moderation, like 1 or 2 cans, then I may not have it for a few months......


I work with guys that will stand outside in 140*F weather and drink steaming cups of hot coffee all day long, whats sad is that if you leave a bottle of water outside when its 120 like it was yesterday the water will scald you its so hot......Trust me on that one, I tried washing my hands yesterday with a bottle of water that was laying in my truck bed.......

 

I finally got me one a these pots. If you drink coffee for the taste, stick to the Bunn coffee makers, but if you drink it for the fix you can't beat these things.

I can make coffee twice as strong with the same amount of grounds with this thing it's great. You get used to the taste after the first few pots. I got it down to a science now. It's a 14 cup pot. A handful of grounds, and I mean that literally, just stick your hand in the can and pull out a good handful of grounds and throw it in the pot, set the timer for 10 minutes on high flame and then turn it down as low as the flame will go after that. I don't use anything to settle the grounds so it takes about 20 minutes of simmering but by then all the grounds have sank and it's ready. It can sit on the stove on that low flame for hours and still taste good.

 

coffee around my house the wife and dogs don`t get near me til I have my first cup o coffee
My coffee is 2 cups per pot but I also have a coffee pot that I can use in the truck all tho small (6 cup) and slow it does the trick

 

So in my world I get about a 1 1/2 cups out of a pot.

I don't understand that either???

 

Which one did you end up getting? i'm a little lost.. was it the camp style percolator?

 

All of em I found came with the percolator parts, I just don't use them.
