Those make terrible coffee! Although you want to pass boiling hot water through the ground beans to make proper coffee, you don't want to keep boiling it afterwards.

If you want a cool old school coffee maker that actually brews really good coffee, try a vacuum brewer:

I'd like to see how that thing works...but as for drinking the stuff...I only make it for the folks...I never developed the taste for it...too bitter...I could pour a cup of Joe into a 5-lbs. sack of sugar and I'd still spit it out...sorry, drinking the stuff wasn't/isn't/won't be my cup of tea...

Just the mechanics please...

Ditto -- I'll take tea, please. Now the SMELL of fresh coffee beans is a whole different story; love the scent!

I just got a milk steamer for Christmas. Mmm... steamed milk with a little vanilla syrup or just some honey. Good stuff, especially at night when I don't want the caffeine that comes with a lot of tea.
