I have yet to buy a coffee maker. Years ago I got started on the auto-delivery with Gevalia which gave me my 1st coffee maker. Used it for years till my mother broke it. Don't aske me how as I'm still clueless on that one. Anyone between times I had quit getting my coffee thru them and then got an email to start up again with an offer for a new coffee maker. Well I decided to go for it so I'm now using the newest coffee maker but have again stopped getting their coffee as they discontinued most of the flavors I liked and then changed the packaging plus I can get their coffee at my local grocery store too. I had quite a stock pile of their coffee so I'm good for probably a year anyway. I've cut myself down to 1 cup a day then I switch to vinegar water as someone said that was good for me. Took a bit to get used to the flavor but now its okay.

DH has killed more coffee makers in the last 12 years than I have sewing machines (I've got 9 that I use). The best and the fastest one I have found (and it's still alive after 3 years, that's saying a lot), is Hamilton Beach Brew Station. It has no pot, but still makes up to 12 cups at a time (has a holding tank inside to replace a pot). It can even make iced coffee if you want. It also has a holding time of up to 4 hours (most pots turn off after an hour or so). Has brewing options for stronger coffee if you like it stronger or weaker. Also has the clock for starting to brew before you get up (DH doesn't use that much, because you can turn it on and in about a minuet you have at least one cup ready to drink. The best part for me was it was only $39.99 and the Cuisinart one he killed in a year (almost got him killed), was more than double that. DH has always been of the mind that you had to spend a lot on a coffee maker to get a good one, but this is by far the best coffee maker for regular coffee I have found. Good luck

ANy coffee left over from the day before stays in the container. When DH gets up he grabs a cup and nukes the left over from the day before while he makes a fresh pot in the morning. I had to get after him to get a stronger brew. I like richer darker brew. We get the French roast. About every 3 years we get a new coffee maker. We went back to Black and Decker. They lasted the longest. our last coffee maker a Cuisinart only lasted about 6 months.

I have a Mr. Coffee that makes 4 cups. It's fast and makes plenty for me. If I have company and need more it is fast enough for that, too.

I have a hot water dispenser built into my sink. I put a Melitta cone holder over my mug, put a size 2 filter in it, put it under the spout, put a bit of water over the grounds, wait a second or two and fill cone and let it drip. Fills mug perfectly. I'm the only one who drinks coffee here so that works perfectly for me. Fresh cup each time. Lately I've been enjoying Kirkland coffee.

I loved mine too, but it died after 6 months.

I have a Bunn coffeemaker. I have had a Bunn for at least 20yrs. This company is awesome,any problems and they will send a new coffeemaker with instructions to send problem child back. In the last 10yrs, I have enjoyed my morning coffee brewed at 3min ready to enjoy. I have had 3 small problems, called the company, they checked numbers and it was still under warranty so I recv'd a new coffee pot. Just had to send the old machine back in box provided along with shipping label. I don't care what anyone says bunn is so reputable and stands by everything. Yes it cost 100.00 but in the last 10yrs, I have enjoyed at least 3-5 POTS of coffee everyday and enjoyed it quickly. Just my thoughts,but I love that machine.

I have a simple 12 cup Mr. Coffee.

I love my Bunn. Second one I've owned & both were great

tthank you :thumbup:
