My $11 'Rival' from Walmart has that too. It's very useful

Or you could get a smaller one-cup sized cafetiere which removes the whole issue of coffee going cold.
At home I have a cheapo drip machine, an old-fashioned espresso machine, and a couple of cafetieres. If I'm working at home I tend to put the drip machine on and have at that through the morning, but I'll take the time after lunch (and at weekends) to make an espresso.

Of course, had I known that microwaving already brewed coffee did it no harm (as I do with subsequent cups from my jug) then I could have done that back then

I only drink tea at home as any British person should.

Now what constitutes a good cup of tea is another thread entirely of which Im no expert. London Drugs has a sale on at the moment for Typhoo tea bags. Buy one pack get one free.

One trick, if you're using an iPad (or whatever) is to set the timer for 3-4 minutes, take a sip, and then reset. It's the only way I can not end up with a cold cup when using electronic devices.

ETA: although I should declare that I am a hot drink trollop - I'll have whatever's on offer without fear or favour. Typically tea first thing in the morning, coffee after breakfast until mid-afternoon, then tea again in the evening. With the addition of cocoa, mulled wine, hot toddy, Lemsip, as seasons or illnesses dictate

Anyone who thinks instant is bad should live off Nescafe 3-1 for a month.

Tea is vile. I can't stand the smell of it and tea breath is way worse than coffee breath.
I did have a single cup filter from Bodum which was great but it's no longer made. Anyway I can't be faffed with scraping the grounds out. So once this seemingly mythical new kitchen of ours is installed I'll get a drip machine

Having read some of the comments it appears we have several coffee snobs, those who think they know about coffee, those who pretend to know about coffee to impress others and those like myself who only drink coffee at work because most Canadian establishments don't know or cant make a decent cup of tea.

I do enjoy a cup of coffee each morning but pass around 20 coffee shops (6 of them Starbucks) on my mile stroll to the office. The economics of coffee in my household/ bachelor pad/ man cave is not justified.

Don't those Hooter's girls complain in the mornings? I mean, when you have no coffee in the house to offer them.
