We really liked our old coffee maker, but did not like the fact that there was no jar that could be carried over to the table or people in the living room to serve coffee. Rather, the coffee stayed in a reservoir  in the coffeemaker and was served with a lever directly into cups there. That would have been fine if we could have easily transferred the coffee in the reservoir into a large coffee pitcher, but the device made room only for a cup. So Lorena went down to her favorite department store (Goodwill) and found a coffeemaker we really love. It can make coffee from grounds into a jar AND from single serving K-Cups. It also has a small receptacle that fits in the place of a K-Cup where you can do single servings from grounds. We really like it a lot. It is not one of those fancy espresso/coffee/mocha/latte automatic machines like our friends, the Douglas’s have in North Carolina, but it will have to do until (and if) we can ever afford one of those.
