Coffee

You're right again. About the only consumer drip machine makers that make consistently great machines are Technivor and Capresso, and you've got to drop close to 200 bucks for their lower end machines.

The BEST coffee I ever made was in my old glass Chemex drip that you had to pour the water through after it boiled. It used heavy laboratory grade filter paper and the coffee it made was unbelievable. Haven't seen one around since the 70's. Would LOVE to find one of those again. You could even refrigerate the coffee and it would not cloud at all! It would taste fresh brewed when rewarmed slowly. The handblown ones from Germany were put into the Smithsonian because of their design.
