I do the same with loose leaf Tea. I make enough to put in a gallon container and store in the fridg. I will then reheat a cup at a time as desirored in the microwave. Brewing, cleaning pot etc. one time. Fast, convienount cups of tea many times!

Starchild, this was a FANTASTIC tip! I read it this morning & just decided to try it out. My new favorite dark coffee is actually Dunkin' Dark, but it's expensive and I'd never thought of brewing it twice.
I just finished my 2nd cup of the twice-brewed coffee and while it's a little lighter than the first brew, makes a perfectly respectable cup of coffee. Excellent tip - I'll be using this every day, saving money, and enjoying my coffee!
And Tennesue - I'll definitely be on the lookout for the brand you recommended too - thank you!

This month's Consumers' Reports magazine gave 8:00 coffee their 'Best Buy' rating. I buy it at the local grocery store, though different stores have different varieties...I like strong coffee and find the Italian Roast does well for a thrifty price. Try the regular blend and if it's not to your taste, move up to the French or Italian (darker/more bitter) roasts. They also make hazelnut and vanilla flavored coffees. Whole bean or ground.
