   I have this coffemaker too! It doesnt see much action anymore because I got a simple human coffeepod brewer. I kept making too much coffee at once with the lovely cuisinart.

   For my taste, this is not coffee at all... this is something that resembles coffee but actually it's dirty water. ;)

   Everybody digs Peets except xcaballe.

   Coming to you live from Berkeley, home of the first Peets in the known universe.

   I don't like Peets either -- usually too acidic for my tastes (could be just the Peets I go to).

   Some say with this brewer if you press the 1-4 button it will brew a better pot. Something about raising the temp a few degrees.

   Peets is ok. Good strong brew. But for those of us who like their coffee in less than a soup bowl ;-) .... nothing beats a nice espresso ( ristretto) made with fresh ground Illy Coffee. oh yeah baby! Un Vero Cafe!
   xcaballe what say thee....

    Got the same coffee maker, and a matching burr grinder. I've not yet had Peets though. I suppose that's some sort of travesty, really.

    I am afraid bici is right. And the link he posted is good too. :-)
    Born and raised in Italy, I was never particularly fond of espresso when I was there, but for some reason after I moved to the U.S. I started longing for a good cup once in a while. Therefore I discovered a highly competent distributor (WholeLatteLove.com) and finally bought a Gaggia Syncrony (many many years ago). We have to thank Achille Gaggia for espresso, so I figured I couldn't go wrong. And yes, you have to spend many hundreds of dollars for a good espresso machine. Once you have a machine like this, THEN you can start telling the difference between Illy and the others. It is very interesting for example to compare the Lavazza varieties against Illy. I think the few top-level Lavazza blends beat Illy but of course being from Turin I am biased. :-)

    I make my Peet's with a French Press and a Japanese water computer:

    I love to use a French press, and I roast Yauco Selecto beans in my popcorn popper. Not too long ago I got the Gevalia coffee free coffemaker, which is DOT DOT DOT Programmable! Key feature: Hot coffee

    I am not a big fan of dark roasted beans. It always taste burnt. I prefer my coffee at a full or medium roast. That way I can drink a whole cup without the need for a sweetener or milk. I also like my coffee beans fresh so I purchase from local roasters, purchasing small amount (1/2 pound), but often (one or twice weekly). Also, those drip coffee makers take up so much space and being the only adults in the house we prefer a french press (Bodum). Turns out Peets does too.

    Do I detect a bag of the dreaded Starbucks coffee hiding in the back?

    Have you figured out how to make this coffee maching not beep when it's finished? When I make a pot of coffee at 5 a.m., I don't want it beeping and waking up my family.

    I need to figure out how to get Peets here in Thailand. They actually do grow coffee on some of the mountains out here (Suthep, Inthanon, Wawee) but it is the roasting that is key...
