You can buy the French press at TJMaxx or Marshalls for $10 and makes the best coffee for 1 or 2 cups. I would suggest to use the brown filters when you pour into a cup.

Thank you all for your suggestions. I really do not drink much coffee and if I do, it MUST be decaf....already two strikes against me from real coffee drinkers....LOLOL. My 12 cup Mr. Coffee does a great job if you want a pot of coffee, but it isn't so good for a smaller number of cups. I have a couple of months before sis arrives. Will most likely wait to see what single serve maker goes on sale and try to decide at that time.

Thank you all once again, appreciate your answers.

I just saw the bed bath and beyond mailer and Keurigs are on sale this week
