If you want the best coffee made at home then you gotta get the Technivorm – check it out. It’s the only maker that gets the water to the proper 200F for good extractions…

Good Luck

I hear Sunbeam makes great coffee machines at very reasonable prices. An Italian friend of mine has one and swears by it.

I actually have a cuisinart grind and brew that you can have if you would like? It’s not the thermal carafe one, but it’s about two years old and still in perfect condition. Ditto everything that Lisa said above!

i have the cuisinart grind and brew with the thermal carafe. i love it. i’ve had it for 2+ years and it’s still working great.

here’s why i love it:
*programmable timer
*coffee brews into thermal carafe that stays warm for SEVERAL hours
*because it has the thermal carafe there is no heating element. so, no worries that you didn’t turn it off.
*grinds the beans fresh everyday

things to consider (not exactly cons but you might be really picky)
*you can not control the grind. not a problem for me.
*i’ve had overflow when use coffee that is pre-ground (don’t do it it often but in a pinch i’ve had to when out of beans)
*the grinder means more parts to clean on a daily basis. (again, not a problem for me – part of my routine – but you might not want to wash all those parts everyday)

let me know what you end up buying.

I recommend starting your research at ConsumerSearch – it’s a site that reviews all the reviews. They not only aggregate review results, but also take into account how those actual reviews were performed:

It’s a handy site, and they’re typically on target.

Krups Grind and Brew 10 Cup – the $149 investment would be worth every penny
