How do you decide which coffee maker to purchase? What things do you look for? What things to avoid? Give examples?

I have had a Bunn in the past that lasted several years, in fact It was still working when I gave it away. I now have a Hamilton Beach Brewstation and have decided I do not like this. I have also had a less expensive one in the past, I believe a Protor Silex that just dripped-no frills.

I also had a Senseo and gave that away. I didn't care for the flavor of the pods...too strong, and the 'flavors' tasted the same. I would like to know about the ones that put the coffee directly into a thermal carafe.

Does anyone have one of these? Are they worth it? Give me your thoughts on this type.

I know the other ones the coffee starts tasting bad real quick, how about these? Is it the coffee makers or the coffee that is the problem? Please help!

We have tried just about all the brands you mentioned, this is the best! We also, tried Cuisinart, it was the worst of all hard to clean, a disaster. My husband and I drink different coffees and we bought 2 Capresso almost 2 years ago and we love them.

Fantastic coffee, as good as Starbucks (we use Starbucks coffee in ours, one pot expresso and one pot verona) EASY to clean. We are serious about our coffee and do not hesitate to recommend Capresso. :capresso.com/coffee-makers-coffee-team-s... require a grind and brew.

But they also have without the grinder, use your favorite coffee:capresso.com/coffee-makers-mt500.shtmlWe purchased from a local kitchen store. Waking up to the perfect cup of coffee- priceless. They are worth every penny.

What works for me I can only speak about what I have... But if you don't need a full pot every time, then the one we use, Braun KF600, is great. It has a thermal pot, so it is cool to the touch, but more importantly doesn't "cook" your coffee once it is made. We normally make our coffee about 6:30-7 am and at 10:30 - 11 am it is still warm (it is recommended to wash the pot out with warm water if you don't plan to drink it right away so the pot isn't "cold" when the hot coffee goes into it.It just helps keep the coffee warm longer.

It will make a full pot, but we only drink about 5-6 cups, so why waste the coffee. Brewing Coffee is chemistry, as you may already know, you need the right amount of water at the right temperature to extract the right coffee flavor. Despite some people thinking we are crazy, we use 1 tablespoon of coffee per 6 oz of water, and it is GREAT coffee.

Not too strong, IMO, it just has a rich taste to it. About ever 2-3 months, we run white vinegar through the maker, then 2-3 runs of just water to clean out the vinegar taste maker.It really makes a difference in the taste of coffee. We've also had our Braun for 4+ years (if we don't have the 600, we might have the older model).

We looked at CR and the looks at the reviews on Amazon with this maker). It has been well worth the money we paid for it. Also, another side note, is to look at/for a French press... it is some of the best coffee you can make.

Many times, you can find a French press at a Rosses, TJ Max, Tuesday Morning or other discount store for $10 or less... while we don't use ours every day, we use it 3 or 4 times a week, usually at night when we aren't in a hurry. The two keys to the French press, IMO, is: 1) Don't boil the water, if it starts boiling, let it cool before putting it in the press, otherwise it scorches the beans 2) Follow the directions for the amount of coffee grinds to use. If the coffee is too strong, brew it less time in the press, if it is not strong enough, brew it longer.

I have found it to be some of the best tasting coffee ever. I thought maybe it was just me, but my parents, siblings, and in-laws have all bought them since they've had mine :) Hope this helps.

I used to have a thermal carafe system. Something else to think about: what kind of water you have. I had a coffee pot that brewed the coffee directly into a thermal carafe and did not have a heating element to keep the carafe warm.

Instead, the coffee maker created incredible hot water. At least for a while. Eventually (after only a few months), the coffee was not brewing as hot.

The result ended up being a fresh pot of coffee that was lukewarm and lost its heat quickly. Yuck. So, I threw it away.

I can't remember the brand because I've had like 4 coffee pots since then, but I got it at a major department store. I was really disappointed. If you like your coffee piping hot, that type of coffee maker will not last you a very long time.

One thing you might consider when shopping for a coffee pot is the type of water you have. I recently moved to an area with extremely hard tap water (lots of minerals). Not only did this make the glass carafe look dingy, but it also shortened the life of the coffee maker considerably.

After a string of cheap coffee makers, I bought one with a replacable water filter. Not only does the coffee taste better, but I've had the coffee pot for an eternity (compared to how long the other ones were lasting). Hope this helps out!.

We have a cuisinart that grinds the beans and brews Just set the timer after adding the beans and water plus coffee filter. Have had two thus far. Tried other products and came back to this.

The parts seem dishwasher safe too.

2 msbandit... I had this problem a little while back and I think I finally found something that meets all my criteria: 1) the less moving parts or fancy gadgetry the better (less to break); 2) I prefer "carafe" styles so my coffee will be hot and fresh all the time, plus it won't break like a glass pot; 3) I don't like pots that drip half the coffee on the countertop while I'm attempting to fill my cup. Anyhoo, I bought a "Braun" 8-cup thermal-carafe style coffee-maker and have none of the aforementioned complaints. I recommend it highly.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
