coffee makers...

Anything that doesnt actually use a burner is a good idea. Not only is it easy to forget to turn that burner off, but heating coffee that was is actually horrible for the taste. The kind of machine Scottie describes is great, but don't buy a Starbucks coffee maker. They're total pieces of crap. Find a Krups or something that does the exact same thing.

I like it, but for the money I paid it should grind the beans before I wake up, put them in the basket, brew, pour into my cup AND add a little milk and one Splenda packet. That's what I get for the impulse buy :S

I work for the damn green machine, and lemme tell ya, the machines Starbucks sells are probably the biggest pieces of [censored] I've ever seen. They're overpriced, and cheaply produced. Great profit margin on those buggers - if they don't get returned. There's a huge biannual coffeemaker sale, and the $99 ones go on sale for like $75, and all the yuppie morons buy coffee makers. And half of them bring em back, because the machines are total pieces of [censored].

The two I've owned leaked all over my countertop, from the exact same goddamn spot. Bleh.

Motherf#%$er! This one would overflow if I didn't set the basket in just right or if I overfilled it with grounds. Thanks for the scoop Yasher.
