Wayne, remember (you probably have one) the Sunbeam Stainless Steel Vacuum
coffee pots in the 50's. Oh, my, they made the best coffee. I don't think
I could break the seal on them now, though.
I've written this before, I know, but in Japan, it seems that each coffee
place has a different coffee pot, (hence different method) for making
coffee. They must buy the best and most expensive coffees from around the
world. You can order your cup by brand of bean; i.e., Blue Jamaican, Kona,
Sumatra, as well. Oh, it was a joy. Anyway, the gist of what I'm saying is
that I've never seen so many types of coffee makers in all my life and had
better coffee. Even though some were too large, it looked like some would
fit right on top of our U.S. cabinet counters. (This was in 1988, though.)
