So, our coffee maker served us fairly well for years but started leaking today. It was a Hamilton Beach carafe-less model that they now claim as their "commercial" offering. Whatever. We're in the market for a new 8-to14-cup drip coffee maker.
The Cuisinart 14-cup model seems to be well regarded. Other people swear by Bunn and other brands. Anyone particularly enamored with their maker and want to talk me into it?
Just take one from the breakroom at work. Then when they replace it with a brand new one, swap them.
i dont drink coffee but my girl swears by those machines that you put in the coffee that comes in a container that looks like a gigantic individual cream youd get at a diner
i cant remember the name of them but everyone has them now
but i think they only make single cups and it sounds like you wanna make pots
Keurig
Our cheapo whatever-brand works just fine. I doubt we paid more than $20.
I enourage you to spend ten times that though, I'm sure it makes coffee taste ten times better, every farging day!
we have a mr coffee 12 cup model. works great and we got it for $20 at walmart.

Keurig
Keurig's are fine if you're single or no one else drinks coffee in the household. My buddy has a Tassimo that he got to replace his Keurig which died, he swears the Tassimo is a much better unit. I need to upgrade my coffee maker as the old hamilton beach i had is leaking slightly
I can't imagine how utterly boring one's life must be to wind up being "enamored" with a coffee maker.
Set that aside for the moment then, and try to imagine polling your internet friends on a lousy football messageboard about it.

coffee is an addiction no different than a drug...so people are quite emphatical about it...think of the maker as a crackheads personal pipe
1. Both sb36 and me have leaky Hamilton Beach coffeemakers. Meanwhile, Ed recommends that I replace with another.
2. The rest of you managed to be even less helpful than I expected. I'm impressed.
emphatical?
lol
1. Uttered with emphasis; made prominent and impressive by a
peculiar stress of voice; laying stress; deserving of
stress or emphasis; forcible; impressive; strong; as, to
remonstrate in an emphatic manner; emphatic denials; an
emphatic word; an emphatic tone; emphatic reasoning.
ah damn...didn't see that you already have that. I've never had any issues with mine, so if it's giving you problems, go in a different direction...
Go out and get the percolator that my 92 year old grandmother has been using for about 60 years.
And then take it and shove it up your farging ass.
Just get a french press and stop being so goddamned lazy.

I bought it for $24 at a Walmart Black Friday sale in either 2006 or 2007 and it has served us pretty well. But apparently the newer models put the spout closer to the lever, so spillage is impossible to avoid if using a thicker cup, like a travel mug.

We had the same exact issue, it worked ok at first, but its gotten worse over time.

In context I am fairly certain that you're talking to charlie, but you could be talking to a number of different douches on this board.

Not really.
We love our Krups 12 cup one. Had it now since early 2005 and its awesome.
how about you just order a diarrhea machine and just skip the entire coffee step.
I don't think FF is responsible enough to have a baby.
Huh. Well I guess that helps to explains why he's got two of them.
Two, right? Girls? I need to update my files.
Most people who have kids shouldn't. Shame there isn't a law against that sort of thing.
If there were pregnancy laws then we could finally end this whole abortion debate.
My employer recently pulled all of the little coffee-club machines in all of the buildings and replaced 'em with big, industrial-sized Keurig machines. And plumbed them. And they now supply us all with a shteinload of free coffee and such (including hot cocoa). I don't know what got into the execs.
Probably the feds and now they're trying to boost workplace moral so you keep quiet.

Probably some groundbreaking new study that correlates worker productivity and caffeine.
The CEO is bonking a floozy whose brother owns the coffee machine company.
