What the hell are you doing to your coffee maker?
I have had a Keurig for 6 years and never had an issue.

Not descaling it?

No, I have city water and I filter the water in a brita pitcher.

I meant - perhaps he wasn’t descaling?

I do that but not as frequently as I should. Plus, our water might have too much minerals. Wife has been wanting a water softener but I don't care for soft water.

Yeah, our water is pretty hard - I switched over to filtered water and that has helped with coffee.

Oh, and the other thing is that this particular model lasted less than 1 year with the first one we had. They replaced it under warranty. Perhaps Keurig isn't always top quality?

Almost any other coffee maker is better than a Keurig. But I prefer a French press. I may have gone a little overboard though, as I now have three of the things, small (1.5-2 cup) medium (3-4 cups) and large (6-8 cups).

I switched from French press to pour over. Will never look back.

A big downside to the press was dealing with loose grounds and cleaning it up after use. |

Has anyone tried the Yeti French Press?
Like all Yeti products, it is overpriced (~$100), but their products are sturdy. It has insulated walls so coffee stays hot, and they claim some filtration system that halts brewing. Wondering if anyone thinks its worth the price?

What's it cost? I have the Stanley press. Actually my 2-cup version is also Stanley, so I have two of them. They also are both insulated (double-wall construction) and made from stainless steel so very durable. And less expensive. Just not as pretty.

We like the Nespresso machines / coffee. Can make espresso shots or a full cup of coffee. Pods are not overly cheap, but good quality.
This machine is great - I have one at the office that's lasted 6+ years with near daily use. Nespresso Inissia Espresso Machine by De'Longhi,24 oz, Black 139.95 |

We've loved the Bonavita Connoisseur.
NYTimes Wirecutter currently has the Bonavita Enthusiast as one of their top choices, but it costs $250 vs $180 for the Connoisseur. |
