While we're at it, if you're adding water to the loose dried plant, waiting four minutes, and then filtering the water out, you're making TEA, not coffee.

Apparently the Mr. Coffee Brand 4 cup Permanent Filter is considered and Extra, some models include them. Mine did not. That and Mr. Coffee Brand 4 cup Basket Style Paper filters and coffee scoop can be purchased at 1-800-672-6333. I purchase Melitta Super Premium Coffee Filters 200 per package, $2.59 ( natural). This info is in the Manual that came with my unit. LMG

To the best of my knowledge, yes. I bought mine at about $20, before the price spike. Rather small, but gives you tea or lemonade very quickly.

Yes, it's worth buying for only one person :-). The last Mr. Coffee it had lasted 5 years before I had to replace it.

Yes it is price for one straw replacement. It's almost as much as a new cup.

It's the price for one. I have four and use one each day then wash them in the dishwasher. They don't sweat and liquids stay nicely cold. I've been using the ones I have for over a year and there has been no fogging or leaking. When I originally ordered them one came with some sticky stuff at the bottom I couldn't get out. Amazon was great about accepting the return and sending another glass.

After careful consideration of both items, this differs from the Thermos Nissan bottle in which how the lid is designed. This design has two tops, you unscrew the top lid, which also serves as a cup (the selling point for me), then you unscrew another cap to pour the beverage. Also, note that cleaning appears to be easier, then the TN bottle, which has a smaller opening. Although, this item has been promoted for beverage use, a week ago, I actually put a can of progress chicken soup in it, with no problems, and it was still warm 6 hours later. If you prefer the convenient access of one uniformed lid, then perhaps the TN bottle is good for you. Just consider the ease of cleaning the product as well. On a final note, I can voucher for the Thermos Nissan Stainless King 16-Ounce Compact Bottle, Midnight Blue because I own it and beverages stay hot/warm for hours and it's a breeze cleaning it. I hope this helps, if you have any other specific questions, I will be happy to answer any questions.

Around an hour. The plastic lining changes the flavor of coffee however, I would highly suggest a thermos with a double walled stainless steel lining.

I uses it with mine, it's a bit tight as it's a smidge taller but the handled flexed over it without breaking and I don't remove the glass to wash it out. I owned 3 bodum single serves as it cost about as much to replace the beaker as purchase a new one in our town when I broke a beaker. When I found these online, I ordered 3 beakers. It seems silly to have so many but works great when a few friends are over. Every one can have the our style of what is a perfect cup of coffee for then - Every Time. :O

Publicus is dead right - you want water at 190F+ for optimal extraction with the drip process. If you're spending over $10/lb on beans, it's a bit of a waste if you don't get all you can from them. Try it yourself - boil the water in a pan, take it off to cool for 30 sec, pour it through the coffee/filter. I do this right into my mug, which nicely absorbs the excess heat and warms up as it cools the coffee. The hot mug keeps the coffee nice and hot a lot longer. (FWIW, nearly all coffee makers use the same method of heating the water and pumping it out at about 170F. I checked a bunch looking for one that was hotter, to no avail.)

did not want to pay a new bottle price for a replacement part, so I called Thermos. Thermos offer replacement for $1 each. I just got 4 this morning, costing me $7 total including shipping. 1-800-831-9242

It depends on how hot the water you put in the thermos is. We use keurig water, which takes about 5 minutes to get a 4 oz bottle warm.

Sure, you can make just a single cup if you want. Just put in a single tablespoon of coffee grounds, coarse ground, and pour in the amount of hot water that you want.

Two benefits that I can think of: 1. It's easier/faster to dump the filter into the trash and start a second pot. 2. You could boil water and pour over filter without need for the coffee maker (probably only useful if you lose power or if you want to experiment with pour over coffee). I do want to warn about the exploding thermal carafe if you are looking at the thermal version.
