I'm in the market for a new coffee maker. I already have a Keurig for single cups, so I'm not interested in any of those coffee makers that offers both single and multiple cups. Just an 8 or 12 cup one would be fine. Other than that, I'm open to any and all recommendations. I want to be able to set up a preset time for it to brew in the morning, which I think most coffee makers do nowadays anyway, lol.

TIA

And I don't need no silly timer, either. I can make 10 pots of coffee in an hour. Filters are bigger and cheaper.

Only downside is that we drink MORE coffee now.

Bunn is a great machine. The water reservoir keeps the water warm and when you pour cold water into the tank, the hot water is dispensed over the grounds. I really enjoyed mine. Then I got a Keurig which is very high maintenance.. I'd like to smash it with a hammer.

Cuisinart. I had a Bunn for years, but after its recent death, my boss loaned me a Cuisinart and I love it. My coffee is hotter longer and a pot is made faster.

I had 2 different stainless carafe machines for years that is supposed to keep the coffee hot but right now we are rocking a $10 dollar general glass carafe maker that has nothing but an on/off switch.

We also have a chemex for the weekend but with 2 kids having to be on their way to school by 6am the one button maker wins.

That may be our Christmas gift to each other.

I want the timer because I want to wake up to the smell of coffee, much like Michael Scott liked waking up to the smell of crackling bacon in the morning.

Thanks for the recommendations, everyone!

I use a Krups Moka Brewer but they don't make one with a timer function.

The new OXO one looks pretty awesome, but not sure if 200 bucks is more than you want to spend on a coffee maker.

that one doesn't have a timer, but apparently brews in about 3 mins. i have a cuisinart that i am pleased with. i think it's an older model of this

I was just recently in the market for a coffee maker. I consulted with a friend who is in the coffee business and this was his run down. I previously had a DeLonghi espresso machine which was fantastic but it eventually crapped out after about 2 years of daily use.

1) Home espresso machines are not worth your time. For one the beans break down much quicker than traditional roast and unless you are going through significant volume you arent drinking great coffee after about 4 or 5 days. Secondly, they all break because they just arent made with same materials as a commercial espresso machine and once they break, thats it.

4) For the money (and for a coffee maker, not French Press or pour over) the Bonavita 8 cup coffee maker is the best home coffee maker due to its design and water temperature control.

Our Bunn model A10 works great. Only makes up to 10 cups.
