I would like to ask for

If that's the "T-disc capsule" machine I would recommend against it
for that reason alone.
There is a coffee machine for almost any taste or need.
What is it you want from the machine?

When you say that your french press makes a "muddy" taste, do you mean
the actual taste, or that the coffee is muddy from sediment?


The coffee that I had from the Braun machine was good. The little T-
disk are spendy. About $0.50 a cup. Supposedly you can get them on the
net and at discount places cheaper. Starbucks is even selling them
now.

The coffee pot I just threw away was somekind of drip thing that cost
$29. It made 8 or 10 cups of which only 2 or 3 were fit to drink. It
was a bitch to clean. It was the kind you would expect in a
construction trailer. It's worth the extra cost to me to get ONE cup
without the hassel and mess that goes with the old pot.

I have been grinding the coffee for the french press to fine. I am
going to try counting the beans and grinding them up in pepper
grinder. When I use the Krupp coffee grinder/ dubbing blender the
coffee gets ground pretty fine.
