Suggest to me a coffee maker

[bdk3clash]

I drink a lot of coffee. I very much like most NYC deli coffee, which some enthusiasts have described as weak. I like Dunkin' Donuts coffee. I like the coffee from the Colombian bakery in my neighborhood. I usually like the Starbucks coffee of the day. I usually take my coffee with a little bit of milk and one sugar.

I would like a coffee maker for my home. Practically I would think making up to about 32 oz. at a time makes sense, since that would be about what I could drink in a day. I would like cleanup to be very very simple.

Any suggestions? Please be very specific.

Saw this one on Woot the other day. You can connect to it from the internet!

You should get a coffee maker. Go to a store and ask someone wearing clothing that suggests they work there. They will point you towards the area that coffee makers are in.

I have this one (http://www.hamiltonbeach.com/kitchen_appliances/beverage/coffeemakers_12/47214.html) and enjoy it.

I've cleaned it once in the last year when it got clogged (just ran vinegar through it a few times).

what about that one where the guy leaves work, saying he's going to grab a cup of coffee, then he ends up going to his house and making some with his coffee maker.. i think it was like, gevalia or something, does that make sense?

[Brain]

I think that's Gevalia, although we have that at work and it's godawful. I don't know if there's a difference between the home and office versions or not.

One of these, a stove and some LaVazza and you are in business

I have the K187. I especially like the temperature feature. It maintains the temperature of the coffee in the pot so it stays fresh and unburnt longer.

Check this out. Got one as a wedding gift a little while back and I love it. Put the beans and water in, hit the timer switch and when you wake up in the morning you have hot coffee all day. I think it goes for $150 at Crate & Barrel. http://www.cuisinart.com/cgi-bin/index.cgi/en/item.cgi?item_id=DGB-600BC

$100 at Costco. I keep looking at it, but haven't pulled the trigger yet.

I tried a coffee pot with a carafe and I thought the coffee cooled too quickly.

I had a Grind & Brew for a few years but it has a few flaws. For one, clean-up is not easy. (I had a earlier model, I'm assuming the same problem.) Also, the water & steam from brewing accumulated in the grinding unit (which is why it's hard to clean) and gradually seeped into the motor, where it corroded and froze the grinding unit.

For ease of use, convenience, and cleanup, these two work great.

Grind Central (http://www.cuisinart.com/cgi-bin/index.cgi/en/item.cgi?item_id=DCG-12BC)

Definitely get a grinder with detachable bowl. Easier to load into the coffee maker, can be put in dishwasher, and if you ever need to grind spices, works great for that too.

I have two of these and they are the nuts. Worth the money.

This is the only way to go.

I have the ultra b-50 at home and couldn't live without it. Plus you can order all kinds of different flavors. I recommend Green Mountain's "our blend" and "breakfast blend". Gloria Jeans has some really great ones too if you like french vanilla or mudslide or that kind of thing. A little on the expensive side though...like 30 cents a cup, but you can get a disount if you order a lot.
