I've used a Mellita for years. I have no rotator cuff in both
shoulders and that has weakened both arms. It is becoming dangerous
to lift the pot of boiling water to pour over the coffee grounds.
Mellita is a drip through a paper or stainless steel cone. IMO, makes
really tasty coffee. I've never had anything but watery coffee from
Mr. Coffee.
