Coffee machines

Due to the limited spaces on most counters what is the best solution for coffe machines?

  • Since DH drinks decaf and I don't, for years we used two four-cup Mr. Coffees. They sat side by side on a tray on the counter. They didn't take up any more room than one big pot. We have since gotten a Keurig and we each have our own coffee. That works well. On the same try, so it is the same footprint actually.

    Do you have full electric, or are you using the stove top? Do you drink a lot of coffee?

    For limited space, it is hard to beat a French Press for making around 4 mugs of coffee at a time - and tastes great!

    For a lot of coffee, we use a 14 cup stainless percolator on the stove top.
  • Hi,

    I found a 4 cup drip type maker with a metal pot. Draw is 400 watts and it uses about 7 amp-hours for a brew.
  • I use the one or two cup versions. work great and take up less room.
