Default Coffee Maker?

Looking to buy a new Coffee Maker. In the past I have had the Cuisinart Coffee on Demand. I was thinking of switching to one with the stainless steel carafe.

I would appreciate any recommendations and experiences you may have had.

Thank you.

For a drip, there's nothing like the original Mr. Coffee. Does what it's supposed to do for a reasonable price.

I had one with the stainless carafe and the carafe was horrible. It was hard to clean, and it didn't keep the coffee hot for very long at all once you took it off the burner (it was supposedly a thermal carafe). We returned it and got the old fashioned glass Mr. Coffee instead, for around $25. If you don't drop the glass carafe and don't use brillo pads to clean the base, you can expect that $25 to keep you in drip coffee for around 15 years. Just make sure to do the vinegar rinse every once in awhile to keep the carafe from staining and the insides of the machine from gunking up.

I have a Keurig Cafe, and a re-useable filter. So I can use the expensive pods that are not especially eco-friendly (only certain brands of pods are recyclable), or I can buy coffee by the pound and fill the filter manually. The "Cafe" version also froths and steams milk. I enjoy a fresh cup of cappuccino every morning, for less than $1. It is my morning cup of joy.

I just bought the Ninja Coffee Bar.....and just love it!! I was sick of my Keurig, and Mr. Coffee was just so so. This Ninja you can make just one cup or a carafe. No pods, just filter, and also has a frother.

I have used this one for years. I grind my own beans and this drip coffee maker makes great coffee:

We have two different Coffee Makers, Breville Barista Express Espresso Machine from Williams Sonoma and then Keurig K155 Office Pro Commercial Coffee Maker, Single-Serve K-Cup Pod Coffee Brewer, Silver from Amazon. They are a fantastic combo. We LOVE COFFEE. I highly recommend both of them.

I did buy a Ninja Coffe Maker last year but took it back. Just a bit flimsy IMHO. Good Luck.

Have a nespresso, and mini keurig. FP for blue mountain coffee. Other coffee systems intrigue me, but then I go to wawas and get what ever I want for $2

I had a Keurig with a large water tank, but I found that the water would become stagnant and had weird things floating in it. So, I replaced it with the basic model that you fill every time you make a cup. Much better because you always get fresh water and the correct amount of coffee. Also, you never need to fill the tank, clean it, or replace the filter.
