Drip Coffee Makers — super simple, super cheap

Don't hold back on those coffee opinions! It boosts engagement :)

I feel like you’ve opened the door to explore espresso machines now. It would make for a good video anyway, there’s a lot of mechanical goodness happening inside.

As a central European: we have both an electric kettle AND a coffe maker. Since we can't decide which hot brown we want at any given day.

The look of that original Mr. Coffee machine is phenomenal.

''I add cream and sugar, yes cream and sugar because I love myself..'' What a fascinating, detailed overview of the physical components and functions of the original Mr Coffee drip coffee maker, simply enthralling... Thank you.

"Big tubs because some families will absolutely get through it in a month." I have been promoted to the status of "a family." I don't feel lonely anymore.

This man could make a whole 2 hour documentary on anything, and I would watch all of it.

I feel like the original Mr. Coffee machine is looking at me, judging silently. Surely I'm not the only one who sees tiny robot man holding a coffee pot

“Yanking gingerly.” The bane of takers-aparters everywhere.

"There are only so many things I'm willing to become an enthusiast for..." said the man sitting behind 3 coffee makers during his 2nd coffee maker episode.

That bi-metal strip to control the water inlet is just genius. I love how limitations bring innovation.

Latin American here. Pour-over coffee’s not just a fancy/enthusiast/hipster thing, it’s one of the cheapest ways to make coffee (café colado). You just need a reusable plastic or fabric filter, no goosenecks or cool glass beakers needed. A lot of us have all sort of drip machines, espresso machines and/or electric kettles (specially in the countries that drink Mate), but if you’ve just moved into a new house and you don’t have kitchenware yet or if your grandma’s making it (and it always tastes better), you’re gonna boil or microwave some water and pour :)

A decade or so ago i was in the market for a new coffee maker, and knowing about the problem of a hot plate burning and ruining coffee, i found a great solution for keeping my coffee warm: I got one with a thermal carafe. It works great.

Customer: “Waiter - my coffee tastes like mud!” Waiter: “Well it was ground only an hour ago!”

Man I just watched nearly 40 minute video about a Mr. Coffee machine and I don't even drink coffee. Something about how this guy presents things just draws me in for a relaxed ride.

Wow! I never knew a humble metallic strip and I could have so much in common. Crazy world!

Fun fact: in the Netherlands, we have both a strong tea and coffee culture, so most homes will have both this type of coffee machine (or one with pads) as well as an electric kettle

I'm dreaming of a collab of you and James Hoffmann, a man of coffee makers, electric kettles, scientific method, and good old british sass.

For years I was a daily full pourover snob, until earlier this year I happened to housesit a week for someone with an old school Mr. Coffee and was reminded how perfectly acceptable a daily cup that makes with so much less direct input. Now I drink automatic drip most days and only get out the chemex if serving coffee to a crowd (my daily is a small-carafe machine for limited counter space reasons) or if I feel like taking my time to do it "just right" on a weekend. Also so nice being able to set it on a timer and have it ready when I wake up on days when I know I'll have an extra busy or early morning. Never looking back. (Also the far bigger difference is the grind, I do feel a little silly using my hundreds-of-dollars burr grinder with my thirty buck coffee maker but really the former makes so much more of a difference than the latter)

I can't believe I've watched this not once but twice
