Christmas is coming and the wife wants to can her single cup coffee maker. I want to use this for a Christmas gift (I'm interested for myself) but I don't wamt the usual mass merchandised machine and I can't make sense of all the ones offered. Need experienced thoughts.

I needed something that I could make a nice cup of decaf separate from my wifes full-octane morning Joe. I looked at the Keurig machines but have had friends with them that had problems with pumps etc. I also couldn't justify such wasteful packaging and expense of the single cups.
My solution was combo french press/insulated travel mug. French press is the best coffee IMHO and this one has been great: http://www.rei.com/product/792857/rei-double-shot-press-mug,-marine?preferredSku=7928570022&cm_mmc=cse_froogle-_-pla-_-product-_-7928570022&mr:trackingCode=ADA3A1E3-F810-DF11-BAE3-0019B9C043EB&mr:referralID=NA&mr:adType=pla&{copy:s_kwcid}=&gclid=CK_fh72L-LMCFYp_QgodwEgAbQ Yes, you have to clean the grounds out of the mug every day, but it's not that big of a deal. |

I have a Jura-Capresso super-automatic for our regular coffee. We use a Keurig for decaf. My wife will make a few cups of decaf a week, and the k-cups don't seem to go bad. I can put ground decaf coffee in the super-automatic, but usually the coffee goes stale before we use it.

Keurig has a adapter for when you run out of the k cups or if you want to use it for regular ground coffee.

I love the super automatics. Give them beans & water, get a fresh ground cup of joe by pushing a button. Lots of settings, but once dialed in to your taste, same cup every time.
We have a Delonghi Magnifica, similar to this but an older model: DeLonghi ESAM3300 Magnifica Super-Automatic Espresso/Coffee Machine: Amazon.com: Kitchen & Dining Also have good experiences with a Saeco. |

We use a Keurig but I still like the term "french press", sounds dirty.

+1. Have had a Nespresso for a few years and it's great. Can froth milk (or not), espresso, capuccino, or regular ol coffee. Customer service is great. I believe it's a subsidiary of Nestle.

We have both "common" ones. Tassimo and Keurig. The Keurig is a better built machine but the Tassimo actually makes the better cup of coffee. I still like French pressed coffee the best as well but these are convenient.
