And you had to be the lucky one. Maybe you should run out and buy a lottery ticket right quick

Yeah, I'll get right on that!

For for the last 4-5 years our coffee pot had just died.
So I told Dh I wanted a peculator coffee pot so it won't quit working on us anymore.
It's crazy to spend 50-60$ a year on a disposable coffee pot! And we bought some good ones.
So we ordered on off Amazon for 19.99 and it got here yesterday.
I made the best coffee I have ever tasted this morning! So happy with my new pot!
I will never buy an drip pot again.
Here in AL. we have so much limestone in the water that it clogs them up and
they quit working.

My grandmother used a coffee pot like the one you pictured, and yes it made the best coffee. The thing is, it is best with a coarser grind, and the coffees nowadays are finely ground for the drip coffee makers.

The basket is now made for the coffee. I dampen the grounds and it works perfectly.
I have not had any grounds in my coffee yet.

We had hard water too but now we have surface water--water comes from lake Shasta via the Sacramento river. The water is great now!

For making coffee I use a Chemex and a vacuum coffee maker. They are both manual and do not get clogged up with minerals. I do have to de lime the tea pot that I use to heat the water though...I did before the water change but not now.

This is the vacuum coffee maker on my stove. It makes great coffee!

Ron that's a nice coffee pot. But I really like this one. I can also take it camping and not have to worry about it getting broke.
I love the taste also. I filter my water but it still clogged up the old pot's.
I am sure I will have to de lime this one every now and then. But hey at least I wont have to buy another one.

I have taken my Chemex coffee maker camping. I also have a camping percolator too.

I have a lot of ways to make coffee! It is very important of course

I have one just like this for camping and when the power goes out. It's a drip and works great. Also have a perk but prefer this one. Just heat the water up and pour in reservoir up top, coffee ground holder snaps on underneath. When it's done the reservoir comes of them put the lid back on.
I bring my Stanley thermos full of boiled water, still super hot next morn to add to pot, heats up super quick.
