Coffee Maker: Pros & Cons of the Traditional

Now it’s time to give fair attention to the traditional coffee maker despite my new found love of the Keurig!  So here we go with some pros and cons…

The Pros:

1. You have a whole pot of coffee if you’re a big drinker in the morning or hosting a group of people.
2. It’s cheaper.

The Cons:

1. Messier
2. Usually end up throwing some away.
3. Have to have filters on hand!
4. Only one flavor at a time.
5. Only does coffee (or hot water for tea).
