re: Reccomend a coffee maker

BUNN.... this is best coffee maker I've ever used


It holds a reservoir at the ideal temperature, brews quickly and easily. I swear the coffee comes out better than any brewer I've had. I used to have the cuisinart grinder/brewer with thermal carafe, and this thing blows it away flavor wise. The only drawback with the BUNN is the carafe itself. It pours great and is easy to use; however, it holds heat like aluminum.

One thing to keep in mind is that if you don't use it often, then this brewer isn't for you. Reservoir machines require frequent use; you have to drain and refill them if not used for more than three days. I guess this isn't totally necessary, but I'm sure it has something to do with standing water and other things.

Get a separate grinder if you absolutely need one, but I find it unnecessary. I buy my coffee at orleans coffee exchange LINK, and I pick it ground to my liking. By the way, this is the best coffee around imo. They service all the high end restaurants here, and their creole chicory is phenomenal
