Need one for home for regular coffee and espresso as well.  Prefer more than one cup made at a time.

Thanks in advance

Well that is a pretty broad question.  Any further help to narrow this?
Price range, how do you like your coffee?

We're Keurig fans in our home. If you buy two of them, you can make more than one cup at a time.  :biggrin:

Keurig works great for us as the wife is a decaf drinker and I need my caffeine.

I drink mine with just a bit of cream. She will warm milk on the stove and whisk until it's foamy. You can buy the syrups coffee shops use at Walmart.

I have a dual unit with a pot on one side and can take k-cups on the other.  Handy for me as on the weekends I like to brew a whole pot, or when people are over.  But if I just want a cup at night or quick in the morning, I can pop one cup at a time.  I usually make coffee at work, so I don't use it every morning.  But hey, I am just a cup of coffee guy, nothing fancy.

Probably doesn't help if you want espresso though.

Like they said the dual systems with k cups or loose grounds and filter for a pot seems the way to go. Other options maybe a French press or if you didn't have the more than a cup part an aero press.
You should hurry up and acquire the cigar habit. It's one of the major happiness's. And so much more lasting than love, so much less costly in emotional wear and tear.

Maybe it's like becoming one with the cigar. You lose yourself in it; everything fades away: your worries, your problems, your thoughts. They fade into the smoke, and the cigar and you are at peace.

Thank you all so much.  I'm not much of a coffee drinker myself but like espresso every now and then.  The hamilton beach and stove top espresso maker look like just the right things.

My wife uses a Melita auto drip and I use a French press. Same beans, same grinder ground at the same setting.  The Fench Press tastes way better. Why is that?

I would try one of Chris and Megan's pots out of curiosity
