We bought a Flavia from BB&Beyond a year or so ago - nice machine. No coffee actually gets brewed *in* the machine, so it's low maintenance as far as cleaning goes.

This is the one we have.


We also have a small 6 cup coffee pot for when I gotta have my Folgers! But I use it maybe 2-3 times a month.

Talking ah coffee

I have a proctor silex brew station. the kind where you only have to push the button with your cup under and it fills. no pot. i love it and it works great. i clean my coffee maker with bleach, it works great. leaned that from my grandmother. she always used bleach and it came out really clean. i have used bleach for years and i haven't found anything that works nearly as good.

Ah wait, I thought you were referring to the vacuum. I see Flavia is a coffee maker. No, not that brand.

That's interesting about the pinch of salt. I think I might give it a try! Thanks!

I don't have a clue what that does, but her coffee was awesome. Now that I have a GE stainless steel maker, with a built-in grinder, I put her to shame, without the pinch of salt. It's all about the Dunkin'.

No coffee snobs allowed at my house.

I have this Cuisinart coffee maker: Cuisinart Coffee on Demand 12-Cup Coffee Maker

I would have never spent the $100 or so that this coffee maker costs, I got it as a Christmas present, but after using this one, I could never go back to the $10 cheapo models I used in the past. The coffee comes out perfect and never burns.

I have an ancient coffee maker -- I believe it's a Regal -- inherited from my dad's office and probably purchased sometime in the mid-80s. Still works like a champ.

I also have a Chemex. Simple is sometimes best.
