Coffee is on...
Well for Christmas I got my self an under cabinet coffee maker (Black and Decker) Because the wood is so thin I reinforced it with some 1x3's. I decided to take the photos before I made the inside cabinet "look pretty" so you could see how I did it...

Nice job. We had a under counter model that was very convenient. Moved it to my new rig and had problems with it. The model I had was no longer available so we tossed it and went back to a counter model.

Good job, Sean.
I'd like to install an under-counter coffee maker, after the present one dies.

That looks good Seann. I bet you found those strips of wood on the Slabs somewhere, didn't you?
I'm sticking to my Folger's instant for now, even though it doesn't taste like real coffee. It's so much easier to make, and no cleaning of the coffee pot afterwards. But it still wakes me up in the morning!
BTW, I'm staying at the Imperial Dam LTVA down by Yuma now. If you feel like taking a road trip, come on over and visit.

Sean,
With all the lights on the top it looks like a larger version of my dsl modem. Now that you fortified the cabinet for the coffee maker, the only thing left is to fortify the coffee.

Looks good, Seann. I do like my coffee, drinking some as I type this.

Hey Bill
Darn right I found them here...
I was in Yuma the other day and was going to go there but the other passengers in the car said NO... I do want to get over there and check out the area..

I installed one as well. Needed more counter space. There were wires running between the thin sheets of wood so I used heavy duty double sided tape. Seems to be holding so far. Wife likes the thermal carafe.

Hey, you gotta use water to clean out the coffee grounds. At least, I do.  And I try to conserve and manage my water as much as possible.

I guess I need to clarify. My coffee pot is a stovetop percolater, so no filtration other than the basket. It takes a bit of cleaning to get the grounds out of everything. Too much hassle for me, so I'll stick to instant.
I have a little 4 cup drip machine, but it's way up north. And my inverter's not big enough to run it. And since quiet time here is from 10PM to 6AM, I'm just not going to wait until 6 to go out, start the genny, and make some coffee. When I get up, I want coffee NOW!, regardless of the time.

I did this mod. Just a note for others, be careful when you drill the holes. My suggestion is to drill a small pilot hole and not let the bit go in more than what is nessessary to drill the hole. Then stick one of the screws in the hole and wiggle it around to see if there is a wiring harness running in the path of where the drill bit will go to drill the other hole. If so gently wiggle the screw to move the harness out of the way. Then drill the other hole. Wrap the screw with black tape to help prevent chafing during the final install. Knowing this before you start may help you. It worked for me because on hole #3 on my x23b I discovered a large harness running over the sink cabinet which I would have drilled right thru.

Just put a coffee filter inside the basket before adding grounds. This will keep most of the grounds contained.

Yeah, I guess I could poke a hole through the middle of the filter to run the percolation tube through. Make it small and tight enough and it shouldn't leak many of the grounds. I'll try that!

We do that, but the last cup has a slurry full of grounds. We're currently using the small filters and thinking that the grounds are floating over the top of filter. I'm going to try the next size up to see if that larger overhang will keep more grounds out. Plus, I do use alot of grounds hoping for stronger coffee.
