I’ll admit, I can be prone to coffee snobbery now and again. I have just about every appliance, tool, and gadget to make coffee this way and that, but there’s one I always come back to — the Mr. Coffee.

My dad has used a Mr. Coffee basically every morning since the beginning of time, so when I got my first apartment — finally free of the “no cooking appliances” rule ubiquitous to college dorm life — of COURSE I bought the cheapest 12-Cup Mr. Coffee drip pot I could find.

^Do you see what I see? If drip coffee is good enough for Lorelei Gilmore, by gum, it’s good enough for me.

That same pot has been with me ever since (for over six years!), quickly brewing up cup after steaming cup of coffee for my roommates, friends, and me, never failing to make my morning and little better.

It has also survived many, many moves while packed in pretty precarious boxes. TL;DR: it’s also durable.

If you’ve somehow never made drip coffee before, listen, it’s really easy. Just pop in a filter, fill it with coffee, fill the machine with water, and flip the switch. Boom! You’ve got java.

Most mornings, flipping literally one switch is all I feel capable of, and Mr. Coffee thinks that’s just fine!

Is it an artisanal cup of coffee? No. But is it delicious and plentiful and quick and easy? Heck yes. I fully support making a lil’ pour-over as a treat, but for an everyday pot for yourself and every coffee drinker in the house? Unbeatable.
