I doubt I'll ever have a problem with a coffee pot. I use a Melitta cone and a hot water pitcher. Simply put the coffee in the filter you place on the cone, add boilng water and you have a good cup of coffee. add sugar or whatever sweetener you prefer. Me? I put the sweetener (Splenda) in the filter and the fresh ground coffee on the sweetener. I live alone so no need for a regular coffee pot. Want another cup? Put the sweetener and coffee in the filter you just used. For some reason cup number two is even better, I've tried doing a third cup with the original filter and it still tastes good but takes a longer to finish brewing.
Even when my wife was still alive she almost never drank coffee. Maybe if we were out for breakfast or as an after dinner drink at a resterant but othewise she just wasn't interested. Funny thing. on the rare occasions she had me make her a cup, she thought it was just fine. She just never cared all that much for coffee.
