Just tossed my drip counter top coffee maker in the trash (kept the carafe) because it leaks.........found out the hard way.
Now, drip coffee makers are cheap enough. College type, you can pick them up for under a Jackson. So replacing it is really not much of a problem.
BUT.............................do I really need to do that at all?
Last month, I picked up this campfire coffee pot (after a weekend trip with no coffee and cold mornings) and I've been using it since for coffee and to boil water.
So what's the problem, what's the issue? I just feel sort of old fashion, which is not a bad thing really, making coffee this way, on the stove top. But, as said, I kinda rather like doing it that way for some reason.
Others have started for the past two years or so to warn me away from using the microwave from just about anything because it does funny things to the structure of water (maybe it is an electron thief which is not good). These days, I use the stove top, oven, for almost everything (melting the butter, chocolate for cookies is about the exception).
So I cook at the stove. Now that's not as primitive as making coffee that way but it is in the same vein. So......do I really need to get another drip coffee maker?
I think not, just another thing to clutter up the counter, another place for the bugs to hide under.....and in.
Besides, I am thinking about getting a second campfire pot......for those mornings on those trips when some want coffee but some want hot water for cocoa.
