I have an electric French Press Coffeemaker. It is super safe! You fill the carafe with cold water, then put it on the hot plate that heats the water to just the right temperature for French Press coffee and turn the switch on the handle of the carafe on. When the water readches the right temperature, the heating element turns off; you can hear the click. Then, you pour in the coffee and stir it, allow it to set for 4 minutes, and then use the plunger to plunge the grounds to the bottom of the pot. The coffee is absolutely delicious!

You can buy this pot at www.cooking.com, and I have seen one-cup models at Target.

Enjoy.

It's not that bad. The kettle I have has an elongated spout that I line up
with the pour spout on the glass press. Start pouring and I just judge the
fullness by the sound. As it gets fuller the sound changes. I have gotten to
the point where I pretty much judge the amount of water to boil exactly, so
I usually never over fill. On occasion I do under fill though. But that just
gives me an excuse to make another pot. <Grin>

I wouldn't want to fuss with trying to pour boiling water into a coffee
maker.

Keith the french press how does that work? I put four heaping scoops of
coffee in my coffee maker but I was wondering if you make it the same
way or
what? How much quicker it would be just to put coffee grounds in a pot
and
then boiling water and press and done. A talking coffee maker would be
rather nice as I can preset the timer to go off as I'm taking my dog out
and
come back to a nice hot pot of coffee. mmmm good for these cold winters.

I had to think about this one for a few minutes as well. <grin>.

I can only assume that it is an automatic coffee maker that you can set
the start time and other functions using voice feedback.

I prefer my French press to an ADC style coffee maker. But I suppose
that this could be useful.
