The Simplest, Least Expensive, Foolproof Way to Make a Delicious Pot (or Cup) of Coffee
I chuckle when I see all the expensive and complicated ways people choose to make coffee in their home. Nothing is as SIMPLE and INEXPENSIVE as this Melitta system, and it makes a fine cup (or pot) of coffee! You do NOT need electronic equipment to make coffee.

I love it.
This is a basic drip funnel and carafe that uses a #4 filter.I've been a fan of steam espresso machines for twenty years, every day, every day for twenty years. The problem, the espresso machines would scale up and either need cleaning (descaling) or blow the safety valve in the lid and be rendered useless.

Easy to use, makes rich and smooth brews
For those of you saying your coffee is weak, make sure you are using enough coffee! I have found that this cone makes very weak coffee if I am trying to brew only one cup. If I double or triple the amount of coffee *and* water I get a very smooth, tasty brew every time.
