This recipe was a hit with my entire family. It was gone within a matter of a few minutes. I used coffee filters to hold the spices. Instead of quartering the orange, I added the juice to the cider and peeled the rind off and dropped it in as well. It was much easier than fitting the quarters into the coffee filters. Thanks for a great recipe!

I served this to my friends and got back a coveted rating of "It's better than Stovetop!" Since I only had juice, not cider, I added a bit more spices, and since brown sugar is a rare commodity over here I used white, but it worked wonderfully.

Big hit at the party and lots left over( I made a LOT) so I'm still enjoying it. This was a great and easy recipe. Was way too skeptical to try in the coffee pot, so I made in the crockpot with all spices in the coffee filter tied with a rubber band. Worked great. Will definitely make again, party or no party, its a keeper. p.s. added a touch of rum and re-heated after party was over for a nice hot spiked drink. Quite nice.

I was cold and looking for something different(not the usual coffee,tea,or soup)to drink to warm up. I followed the directions to a T except for the allspice.(all I had was ground so used it but only 1/2 the amount called for.)All I know is it tastes wonderful.....I'm addicted; and so is my son who doesn't like his cider warm. Thanks so much for a fabulous tasting and incredibly easy recipe.

I just made this on Thanksgiving and it was a huge hit. I have tried a few recipes in the past and my whole family said this was the best one. I put it in the crockpot with everything in a coffee filter tied with a rubberband (like others suggested)and put the orange and cinnamon stick in floating around. It worked great and was delicious. If you have a white crockpot, you will really have to scrub at it to get it clean..maybe spray it with a little bit of cooking spray beforehand? Thanks for the recipe!

I thought this was pretty good, but not great. Made it in the crock pot which was nice and easy.

This recipe is really tasty. It's also really fun to make. I didn't have cinnamon sticks so just put in 1/2 t. of ground cinnamon. It turned out really great. It's for a potluck at work tomorrow so I'm going to pour it into the crockpot in the morning & let it simmer all day at work. Yum!

Great recipe. Have been making hot spiced cider for years since I live in apple country, but this is so neat to make it in coffee maker and the aroma was "so autumn". Thank you! CNY Jane

I really liked the flavors of the cider, but mine came our really sour for some reason. I don't know if it was the brand of my cider or what, but it was hard to drink because of how sour it was.

This was yummy. I made it in my crockpot.. put it on high for 3 hours as recommended previously. I put the spices in the coffee filters and tied them shut with rubber bands, then let them float in with the cider and orange slices. One thing to note... 2 qts of cider will give you about 6 mugs of cider. I had to go out and buy another 2 qts for my 12 person party.

We made this in the coffee maker and it tasted WONDERFUL. However, this recipe would be better if you can make it with a coffee maker in which you can wash all of the parts. I used a typical plug-in coffee maker, and spent 2 - 3 hours cleaning out the resovoir where the water usually goes. (I felt very blonde for not considering this before. I am naturally blonde, but still felt silly!) The apple cider that was in there was VERY sticky, and I didn't want my coffee to have apple flavor in it. I will try it on the stove or slow cooker next time.

This is one of the main reasons I look forward to autumn! I make this in the crock pot and the whole house smells amazing. Nothing beats curling up with a blanket and a mug of this.

What a fantastic way to make great cider! I make a huge batch when I have people coming over and even bought an insulated coffee carafe server thingie to keep it warm on the table. I never have allspice or cinnamon sticks but I do add ground cinnamon and it's great. YUM!

Simple and delicious! I ran the cider through my coffee pot and put all the spices in the filter. To clean it I had to run through two rounds of white vinegar but it worked perfectly and smelled divine when brewing.
