You'd be wrong Tom. It's an old Nordic Ware stove top iron.But I'd bet yours has a fancy-dancy electric cord connected to it!
Wow, 87 replies in 3 days... some strong opinions on coffee!
Folgers not only has a taste-to-price ratio that keeps the peace in our house, it comes in plastic jugs that have many uses in the garage (soaking bolts in WD-40, catch cans when spraying stuff under the car, trash can in the car -- and the lids are great mixing trays / drip trays too). I have a stack of empties 4' high next to the garage door.
Daily machine is a simple Cuisinart, fanciest feature is a clock so you can set it the night before and wake up to brewed coffee. We're currently on our third of the same model. (BTW, we haven't had to use the "descaling" process since we switched from tap to bottled water several years ago.)
For fancy mornings or lazy weekends, we grind beans from wherever -- we received a subscription to Grounds & Hounds for Xmas one year, a niece-in-law sends us Kauai Blue Mountain for birthdays, and I recently discovered Drive and Texakona which are now my favorites. We grind using a cheapo Mr Coffee grinder which has lasted a couple of decades. If we're feeling REALLY fancy we'll use a French Press.
And if we're just not in the mood and only want the caffeine, we have a Keurig and a supply of Starbucks Via instant capsules.
FWIW, she insists on drinking it black while I invest in Torani syrups and half-and-half. Not many brews can stand up to both.

For anyone who shops Costco and used a Keurig machine, Costco's San Francisco k-cups are a pretty darn good deal relative to other options, plus they containers are biodegradable. We usually have Black Rifle, but occassionally get this Costco brand and really like it.

as do we all.
check the auto shutoff switch on the bottom.
No such switch. Perineum clear. Had to use a mirror to check.
