Chance,
If you're adding a "large" garage to your rig (Let's say nine feet...): it's going to eat up a lot of living area...
How do we resolve this?
(Our 31 foot-long Class C has a nine foot garage: we sleep on the couch-bed...)

I was thinking about a Euro-style “garage” mostly meant for bicycles, scooter, or sometimes small motorcycle. Garage is under beds so doesn’t take extra length.

[Bob Denman]

Aha!
You meant "European Large": not the American version!

Here's what we got - the Presto MyJo - a simple solution that works with or without power, just need a heat source for your water and it takes K cups or use the basket that comes with it. Edit: I see others are also on to this great tool... I don't even drink coffee but I get brownie points for making it for momma with this!

Easy to clean and store too.

As far as other things on the wish list...

- New curtains for the front - we will probably get some of the Insul-Shine reflective batting and sew it onto the outer lining of our existing curtains.

- Dinosaur Electronics Universal Ignitor Board for our furnace

- Air fryer for making tater tots and wings

- Gun safe for my handguns

- Replacement door handles with keypad

- Smaller outdoor generator (yes, Gritz, you convinced me) for backup power (we have had our on board genny not work at inopportune times, so we were unable to do a few things because we couldn't leave the puppies in the sweltering heat with no genny and no A/C)

We just added one of these to our backsplash to keep scissors, pot holders, etc. organized:

We have lots of smaller stuff on our wish list as well. Mostly cleaning and organizational stuff.

Thanks for the coffee tip!
We don't currently use K-Cups; but I'm always open to options!

You don't NEED to use K-cups with the MyJo, it comes with a basket/filter for regular coffee. K-cups can be convenient. We get them as gifts from the kids.

Now THAT'S a different story: I'm going to be showing this one to the Missus this afternoon!

Buy BLACK+DECKER Coffee Makers | CM1609 8-Cup Thermal Progammable Coffeemaker | BLACK + DECKER

This is what I use everyday and I've had it for better than 10 years and still works like a charm!

[Bob Denman]

Thanks, Skip!

Here's a video I found that shows the MyJo in action:

Since it can only brew a 10 oz cup: it just won't fill my 16 oz morning mugs up...

Thanks Bob Looking at the link I sent you, it looks like Black and Decker changed the unit some since I bought mine. I like it because it keeps the coffee warm for at east 3 hours without having to turn the unit on. No more bitter reheated coffee.(Unless I stop at a truck stop!) And I like having my travel mug within reach filled with joe and a 10 ounce cup just would not cut it!

I could have used that coffee maker during extended hurricane power outages.

An issue I see is that to get the right coffee taste, water temperature has to be controlled accurately. With a thermometer and gas stove/grill, that can keep us caffeinated. However, with electric power, I’ll stick to tiny Keurig single-cup coffee maker.

[Skip 500]

I guess I could say I'm not a coffee snob, not saying y'all are I like mine hot and black, no flavors, or other stuff. I drink Yuban. So, I am always happy just to have a cup of joe in my hand What works for me might not work for others cause we all have our own individual tastes

[Bob Denman]

I just like all the extra caffeine that I can get!

[Chance]

I’m not that picky, but like my coffee strong and drink it black, usually buy French Roast. I found that if water doesn’t get hot enough, it doesn’t extract the full flavor/strength. A 10 F lower temperature made enough difference for us to replace a Keurig coffee maker.

I take it that we have very few fans of Kopi Luwak in here??

It's the "Monkey-Poop" coffee... no joke!

[Skip 500]

No, I'm not drinking anything that has come out the south end of a monkey, nope, not gonna do it. Ya gotta draw the line somewhere

[Bob Denman]

But I DO agree with you: I prefer my Arabica beans a bit less... processed!
