Coffee Maker

Hello Everyone, I just bought an 'Thermal Coffee Maker'

and its really awesome, The great thing about it, that it keeps your drink hot for hours without burning the coffee or ruining the taste in any way. My personal preference to thermal coffee makers is Capresso.

Hi there from a first time noob.

From reading reviews of various coffee makers, it appears that no one makes a unit that works flawlessly and all are designed to last little more than 3 years before failure.

I am really tired of replacing coffee makers, so tell me the make and model of coffee maker that has thrilled you with ease of use, perfect coffee and astounding durability. Is a filter funnel and a thermal carafe the only real answer?

Please don't bother suggesting Cuisinart, because I am still upset with them!

Thanks!

I bought a refurbed Bunn A-10 series in '02. It's been running 24/7 with nothing more than a couple of thermal fuse replacements.

In the travel trailer, we keep a Bunn BTX-B. A stainless insulated carafe makes a lot more sense on the road than glass.

I shall look into both of those.

Thanks Steve!

Cuisinart has been good for us. We bought a Grind 'N' Brew (sp?) a few years back. Things did break - first we needed a new lid for the thermal carafe, which they sent at no charge. Then the grinder started making really weird noises, and at that point, which was about 3 years in, they told us we had a 5 year warranty and they had decided to send us a brand new machine, again at no charge to us. We're still using that one.

We use ours less now because we make a lot of espresso, but we'd gladly buy a Cuisinart again. My wife and I both think it makes great coffee, it needed no paper filters with the gold filter, and having fresh ground coffee every morning was and is a real treat.

Nope don't like Cuisinart either. We are in Canada so we bought a Tim Hortons coffee make, it's a Bunn made for them. It has a heating chamber just like other Bunns, pour cold water in and you get instant hot, a full 8 cup pot in three minutes. Now if you are in the states, there are Tims poping up all over so keep an eye out, I guarantee that you'll be impressed with this coffee maker.

Or just buy the Bunn. (I have an A10 series and a BT and love them both.)
