For a while now, I have wanted to be able to make coffee for an occasional treat or to serve to guests (we're not regular coffee drinkers). I assumed we'd eventually end up getting a drip coffee maker -- maybe a small one that wouldn't take up too much counter space.
Unknown to me, Joshua started researching how to make the best coffee. (I love it when he does all the research for me!) Drip coffee makers, while convenient, just don't make the best coffee. A French Press can be a good option, but leaves some sediment and can make bitter coffee.
I was pleasantly surprised when Joshua gave me an AeroPress coffee and espresso maker for a birthday gift this year! It is really easy to use and makes a perfect cup of coffee. I am picky when it comes to coffee, but the AeroPress makes very good coffee -- even with a novice like me making it.
Compact. (I love small appliances that do great things!)
Re-usable paper filters. (Just rinse and lay flat to dry.)

It's not fair to have a bad-luck day the Friday before a Friday the 13th. But we are often told that life is not fair, to deal the hand you're dealt, to make lemons into lemonade and other clichés.
Friday the 6th was a bad-luck day.
For the first time, the Life section was missing from my newspaper. How could I start my day without my funnies? How could I test my mental state without word games and crosswords? But life would be fair again. A call to the Express-News circulation department restored my optimism; I'd get my paper ASAP. It was at my door in less than 30 minutes.
But life was not being fair when I prepared my first caffeine hit of the day. As I poured boiling water into my favorite extractor coffee maker, I heard a crack. I'd heard that sound before but since the container didn't leak, I figured it wasn't totally broken even if the plunger gasket was worn and leaked coffee grounds into each cup. Fiber is good for you.
Sadly, this crack was the container's death knell. I kept it despite the first crack because it was a gift from someone special, and I like the quote from Charles Lamb printed on it: "A book reads better which is our own, and has been so long known to us, that we know the topography of its blots, and dog's ears, and can trace the dirt in it to having read it at tea with buttered muffins." I have treasured books that match Lamb's description.

Does anyone know where I can find a coffee maker like the ones at the gas stations, that make the coffee in the bottom and you can warm a 2nd batch on top. any links will be appreciated thanks.
You can buy it from

Hope this helps
Good luck!
