Quiet Coffee Pot

May I suggest a French Press? It's not drip coffee, but I love it and other than my timer going *ding* after four minutes, most certainly quiet.

You are welcome to PM me if you need directions on using French Press to make an excellent cup of coffee.

Veruca-- easy-peasy french press cleanout-- I simply pull out the plunger, soak the parts at the bottom (the screen and the other metal pieces which hold it in place and wash by hand, only fingertips on the screen). The carafe-- I fill it with hot water and then all of it through a fine mesh strainer (how I clean my loose-leaf teapot each day), let the strainer catch the grounds then pound them out into compost bowl or trash. Until I got the strainer, yep, life was harder.

Oh, and they have 8 cup presses. (I have one, makes four standard cups of coffee.) I have a "2" cup (makes one standard cup), a four cup (two standards) as well... When we have company, all can be in use or backups for the decaf folks.

French Press.
It makes GREAT coffee and not acidic at all.
VERY easy.
And you never have to go and buy filters for it.
Very low maintenance.

I would never use anything else.

you can't get quieter than a french press. i compost all my coffee grounds, so for me it's no harder than cleaning out the filter of my mr. coffee (whose happy burbling noises please me.)

We use a french press. No noise at all, save for the kettle.

Do you want a drip maker? Are you looking for one with a timer?

When is it making so much noise? The alarm?

When we did comparisons of coffee makers years ago.. It was the Krups brand, that we found performed the best, the longest, and made a good cup of coffee. This was the drip machine with the gold filter. No timer. If you want a timer, purchase a separate timer that plugs into the wall and then plug your machine into it. Coffee pot timers are notoriously a problem. They over heat all of the time.

I have to agree with the ladies, I use a French Press, unless I am making more than 3 cups of coffee at a time.

I hate using a french press. I've owned and used on off and on for over 20 years (primarily when we go camping any more, but it was my primary coffee maker for a long time). Yes, it's quiet. It's also really hard to clean up (unless you put the grounds down the garbage disposal, which you're not supposed to do).

I have just a little four cup Mr. Coffee and other than the coffee dripping, it doesn't make any sound.
