I prefer percolator coffee. I am currently using Savarin, but I also love Eight O'Clock. Add a little organic half & half and organic sugar and I'm set.
Coffee Pots and Coffee brands...Whats yours?

Hey Shane,
I usually drink 100% columbian...brand doesn't matter. I do love Eight o'clock freshly ground. I also like Half & Half without the disodium phosphate and Demerara brown cane sugar.
Oddly enough, the brand of sugar is distributed by Domino Foods of West Palm Beach, Fla. it's called "Florida Crystals"! LOL

I am currently using a Capresso auto-drip with built in bean grinder. It does a decent job and I bought it because it has a burr type grinder instead of blades like most others. Supposedly coffee ground with a burr grinder tastes better. Before that I had a Braun "Aromat" and most recently a Braun "Flavor Select" model. They both made great coffee and I recommend them to anybody but I got tired of the bean grinding routine and treated myself to the Capresso for my birthday a couple of years ago. I'm particular about my coffee and buy my beans from a local independent roaster. Ever since my sister moved to Berkeley and began drinking Peets over 35 years ago, I started appreciating coffee more. I avoid Starbucks religiously.
Sunbeam Coffeemaster (Vacuum Model) and Gevalia Stockholm Ro
I have been drinking Gevalia coffee for years. I have tried others and I just can't find on I like as well as the Stockholm Roast.
I used a Bunn for years until I discovered the Sunbeam Vacuum pots and how well they make coffee.
That combo gets my vote!!

Sunbeam vacuum Coffeemaster coffee can't be beat. But for a quick, equally great single cup, some 8'oclock, the Melitta #2 cone filter and filter cup that sits a top your mug makes a no-fuss brew.
Sounds so good, I'm off to fix some now!

Still mastering the CoffeeMaster but percolated is my favorite. I've had good results with my vintage Presto and SCM lighted. Yet to try my Sunbeam perc.
Straight brew Chock Full o' Nuts in the AM can't be beat : )

8 O-clock in the Silex
Whole bean 8 O-clock, burr ground in a kitchen-aid grinder, and brewed in a Silex, with filtered water.
You can notice my 2 burner commercial Silex stove on which I brew at least two pots daily. There's also a Coffeemaster which you can notice in this photo as well.
I also have a collection of various percolators, and find that each and every one of them make the coffee taste differently. Some of them are just horrible, like the Farberware pots, which absolute burn the taste of the coffee. The Sunbeam coffeemaster percolator is a good bet, though, if you must perc.
Vacuum brewed is clearly the way to go, though.

A locally roasted
whole bean decaf Columbian, ground in an ancient (1980s) Braun burr mill, and either the cup at a time Melitta, or my Krups drip. (When I am in a mood for a BIG cup, or my summer favourite, iced coffee!)
For fun, I have a Corningmatic perk. It makes excellent perked coffee, which is a different beast from drip coffee. To me, the difference is so great that perk and drip coffee are different beasts.
I was at Kohl's a few weeks ago, and I looked at all the coffee makers...all of the drip units had timers. ALL of them. I hate timers. More complex, more prone to fail.
I don't drink a lot of coffee anymore, but when I do, I want it to be excellent. Used to drink 2-3 pots a day.
The coffee at church is dreadful, even though the machine itself is decent...a small commercial Bunn.

I use a 1964 Presto perc. with Chock Full O' Nuts as my daily driver. What I like about it is the fact that can go in the dishwasher, seeing it's immersible. I found it NIB at an estate sale for a retired druggist here in Wausau. There was a GE Filter-Flo w/ suds-saver and matching dryer from early 70's. Didn't get them as they were already sold, $75 for the set. Not too bad, pricewise.
We use a 1950s or early 1960s Sunbeam electric Percolator.
We usually make the heavenly coffee, Chock Full of Nuts, either Original or Columbian.
Absolutely Delicious!

Pretty much in line with badata here.
I have a commercial Bunn at home, and a home Bunn at work (I know, I know).
I like regular Folger's coffee black and unsweetened.
Freshly brewed coffee is one of nature's perfect foods. It doesn't need additives, and it certainly doesn't need to cost $4.50 a cup.

Bokar!
For me, A & P Bokar and my Farberware stovetop perc are a great combination, but only on weekends when I have time to babysit the perc. For everyday, it's a plain old electric drip maker and Chock Full O'Nuts.

We are using a Cuisinart Drip pot (with timer) now, our Sunbeam C-30A vacuum pot is offline due to another gasket failure (this time tasting imparting a strong rubber taste to the coffee).
We have had about 3 coffeepots with timers in them and usually what goes out is either the heating element or the warming plate.
If I have an early call in the morning, I love the timer feature! Stagger down the hall to freshly made coffee!
We used to love our TOL Krups pots, but they never lasted more than a year or two. On the advice of a freind we bought the Cuisinart that came with a three year warranty (and yes we have saved the purchase receipt!)
As for coffee we buy a Guatamala whole bean from a local roaster in southwest Houston, Java Coffee & Tea. They roast on site and it's the best non-flavored coffee I can find! Smooth and delicious.
In our crew lounges we have whatever someone brings in. Usually Folgers or sometimes Maxwell House! I'll drink the Folgers. The greater problem with this coffee is "just how long has that pop sat for?" and nobody ever cleans the pot out!
Yes, I admit, I am probably a coffee snob, sans Starbucks! I never go there! But waking up to a nice pot of coffee is my favorite time of day!

We are Maxwell house people, and M thru F, we use the Black & Decker Versabrew, IT has a timer and has lasted several years. We like the timer. Its a pretty tough pot, of course i dropped the basket and the spring contraption for sneak a cup, popped off the basket the usual vex/hex, i would imagine its under the fridge and obviously all the way to the back. Still have not found that darn spring. It has been a survivor, came out of a very Dusty box, on a sale clearance when a local rite aid drug store closed, about 5 years ago, we probably paid $5.00 for it, but its been a great pot.
