Don't leave the percolator on with a thermal coffee maker.

Enjoy a thermal coffee maker when you purchase a coffee maker with a thermal carafe. This makes an excellent travel coffee pot because you can take it to work with you and pour out a cup whenever you need a refill. Customers who have bought the Krups brand of coffee maker say that the #6 grind is the best to use because with other size of grinds a lot of the coffee stays in the filter basket. This coffee maker calls for a #4 cone filter or you can order special filters directly from Krups. The fact that sometimes the coffee does not drip from the filter into the pot is a flaw with this brand that has frustrated many customers.

The thermal pot from Black and Decker has received much more favourable reviews. It has plenty of exciting features and can brew a full pot of coffee in just a few minutes. The carafe is made from heavy plastic and is lined with lead ans the water tack as 1 cup increments so that you put in the right amount of the water for the number of cups of java that you want. It will keep the coffee hot for 3 or 4 hours, but the lid has to be tight on the carafe or the the percolator will not work. The filter basket comes out very easily for cleaning and uses standard size paper filters. You don't have to specially order the filters from the company.

The Gevalia thermal coffee maker is also an excellent coffee pot to purchase. It takes a #4 paper filter and if you wet the filter basket a little, this seems to keep some of the coffee grinds from getting into the coffee along with the drip. All you have to do is swing the filter basket back in place, put the pot on the flat bottom and you're all set to go. You do have to make sure the lid is tightly secured on the carafe. With a thermal carafe, it turns clockwise to close and counterclockwise to open. Then all you have to do is push the start button to have a fresh cup of java in a few minutes. When the red light goes off the pot of coffee is ready. This coffee maker does have a pause and serve feature so you can get the first cup of coffee while you wait for the rest to drip down.

The thermal pot is a great way to keep your coffee warm for hours without having to leave the percolator on.
