Ok, we've got a thread going on favorite coffees; what is your favorite home coffee machine that really brings the flavor out?

My Bunn home model brewer delivers hot coffee quickly, just like their commercial models.
Cold water poured in forces water maintained at brewing temperature from a thermostatically-controlled heated reservoir.
It's efficient, costing pennies a day to operate; well worth it in my opinion.

They're well made and last a long time, but when needed the replacement won't be a Bunn.
Alas the home models are no longer made in USA.

I love my coffee but unfortunately, I'm limited in my consumption due to some GI issues. My normal one cup a day comes from a Keurig. I've found a blend I like and the Keurig does a fine job making a single cup. I know some folks don't like them and the K cups can be expensive, but with the small amount I drink, it's affordable and I'm not throwing half of my coffee out. Before the Keurig, I looked for coffee makers that used the funnel type Melitta filters. That design works better making small amounts IMO. Actually, the old fashioned Melitta that you just pour the hot water into the funnel work pretty good. That's what I bring on camping trips.

I have an old Mr Coffee machine...still works, but I think I am going to order one of these....

I am the only one that drinks coffee here so it should suit my needs? Whatcha think? I'm open to suggestions.

Second vote for a home model from the Bunn! (Sad to hear that is no longer made in the US).

I hope they endure, and I think they are made in Canada.
Six months ago, tired of the cheap store bought plastic ones failing every 2 months, I got a Bunn A10. It is the smallest commercial model with one tank and one pot heater.

This thing is excellent, despite looking like the dashboard of a '63 Studebaker.
There is a full service manual and parts list on-line, and it looks like it can be repaired with ordinary tools.

It runs all day, doing coffee in the morning, and in the afternoon I brew loose leaf tea in an English tea-pot.

A $20-dollar Black & Decker Brew N Go. It's 10 years old and I have lost the plastic filter insert some years ago.

Yeah, I have a cheap Mr. Coffee. I can't afford something like the Bunn; and the single serving ones wouldn't fit my needs, as I drink at least a couple of mugs in the morning. Interesting to see what everyone is using, as I'm about due to replace mine.

It's so easy even a dog can do it!

Toddy cold brewer, Hario #2 pour over dripper, or Melitta ceramic 6 cup pour over brewer. I also use a Fellow Duo Steeper when I want a "ceremony" followed by delicious coffee. I haven't used any kind of electric coffee maker for decades, just an electric, preferably glass water kettle to take the water to just off the boil before surging through or steeping the ground coffee.

Aeropress or Neapolitan stovetop.

[snpsht]

Aeropress or Bialetti Brikka stovetop.

In the cupboard I also have a Rancillio Silva, but really, the two above do just fine.

I put more emphasis on the coffee and the grinding.

[clackers]

+1 for the Aeropress. :-)
