Do you have a special brew basket? I tried googling but nothing came up that helped. Please post your details. I am so interested in this.

Thank you for getting back to me. I am going to go searching now that I know what to look for. Great idea by the way. I drink one cup a day, but it is a large mug.

Just google "finum brewing basket" and it will give you a link to Amazon. Or just use that name in the search box at Amazon. That's where I bought mine about 2 years go. The picture shows the basket sitting on the lid. I let the coffee steep for 7 minutes, but you can check to see what works best for you. It hangs onto the top of your mug and you cover it with the lid after pouring in the boiling water over the grounds. The basket is too tall to use in a standard cup, so I use a mug.

I have a regular full (12) coffee maker, a 4 cup maker, and retired both
of them to the bottom shelf of the pantry.
We use the Keurig hubs ONLY likes the Starbuck's Sumatra coffee, and
I like most medium to dark coffees. I like to change it around so I don't
get bored with the coffee. Plus at home I usually only drink 1 cup.
Keurig is perfect for us.

America's Test Kitchen just did a testing on this. The top of the list was Peet's coffee. Alot of coffee makers add beans that are still green to the bag which causes it to be bitter tasting, up to 14 which I guess is a big deal. Peet's only had one in their bag. I don't drink it because I like mellow coffee, I normally use Folgers breakfast blend or one that says mild or med roast. I have the gold metal basket in mine but put a paper filter in it so that I don't get the sediment at the bottom of the cup that you get from the metal basket. This way it double filters it. The paper goes in first then the metal goes in it, this way I can use the paper a couple of times if I make more than a pot in one day.

Also have a Pfaff Ambition 1.0 and live in Pudget Sound area (Snohomish) are you the sister I never had?
