BLACK+DECKER 5-Cup Switch Coffee Maker

BLACK %26 DECKER 5-cup Switch Coffee Maker. My husband doesn't drink coffee; it's just me drinking BREVE coffee. I only drink two cups of coffee a day and was trying to find a perfect coffee maker. This one is great for me. Coffee: 1 TBLS of ground up beans or regular ground coffee, 2 ounces of cold water per cup. I place the coffee into my trimmed coffee filter. Tea: 1 tea bag or 2 sachets, 2 ounces of cold water per cup. I place the tea directly into the pot. This also allows the tea to seep for 7-8 minutes, after brewing, to get the full flavor of the tea. Most of the time I go ahead and make a full pot of coffee or tea. I just double the amounts above. Regular mugs do not keep my coffee or tea hot enough for me so I pour the coffee or tea in an insulated coffee mug. I believe I prefer “slipping” rather than “drinking” my coffee or tea. Just in case your wondering, I have a larger coffee maker I use for family gatherings. This allows me to keep my 5-cup coffee maker on the counter, at my drink station near the sink. With family here, I bring out the larger coffee maker, which I keep stored under the counter. TIP: After looking at the cost of coffee filters for 5-cups, I refused to pay that much. I take 10-12 regular coffee filters placed all together, trim off around 1 inch from all around the top, and I have my coffee filters. I save money, which most of us are looking to do today.
