Just had the same issue. I looked at the bonabitad, but ended up with the Coffee Ninja and absolutely love it! Very versatile in types and sizes of brew. And I do love the built in frother. Quite a step up from my Hamilton Beach. But I really enjoy my morning coffee and YOLO so I splurged.
My coffee maker finally went kaput and now I'm in the hunt for a new coffee maker.
I didn't have anything fancy, had a Mr. Coffee and I was good.
I'm looking but many have mixed reviews.
There is no brand in particular I'm looking at, just give a good maker and I'm set.
At least 12 cups and I think I want a self cleaning one... that's what I've had so that's
what I'm used to.
I think I like the BUNN I'm reading that you need BUNN filters as the store filters aren't tall enough?
Anyway, for you that know more, what's your coffee maker?
Is there another one I should look into?
Thanks!
What's my coffee maker?
A camping perk pot! Made for the campfire but works pretty well on the stove top, too.......and I don't worry about filters, either.
I got out of the counter top coffee makers for a variety of reasons including taking up space, having about a year's life, the vinegar cleaning issue, the waste factor on how if the unit goes got, that's a lot of plastic into the dumpster, bugs like to make their homes in them, etc..
We just use a french press. It suits our needs & becasue we boil the water, it is hot.
That makes the absolute best cup of joe , bar none.!
But its messy and Mr Coffee is easier.
I get around the lower temps of my Mr Coffee by microwaving the milk, about 1/4 cup of milk.
AT work (restaurant) we have the machines so I drink au lait rocket fuel,
but at home its dunkin donut regular blend.
My coffee maker used to be my spouse. But even he quit being so hot after awhile
Seriously I have invested in el cheapos ( Black/decker) to Kureg and Cuisanart....All have done exceptionally well til about the 6 month mark. Then Bam! The water is barely tipid when dispensing thru the filter....
ANd yes I follow the guidelines of cleansing properly so no mineral build up occurs....
I dearly loved the old fashion percolator style ones, yet according to the coffee snobs, They are not well liked .

But to each their own!
Camping perc pot makes fantastic coffee. I frequently pull ours out of the camping gear to use our our kitchen stove.
Daily go-to is an insulated French Press carafe and an electric kettle. Great flavor and stays hot for a couple of hours.
Buy a Keurig! It's the best coffee maker I've ever had! After 30% off and Kohl's cash I got mine cheap. Here is a small model, but of course they have the bigger ones!
