Cheapo Mr. Coffee here..... They work everyday for a couple years....then get a new one....
And I've had one of these too and many other types. Problems with all really but the normal types I've cleaned. Only major problems is if the coffee sits too long it tastes terrible! I thought the K-CUPS would be better being a single but sometimes the coffee pods break and I get the ground sometimes the cup.
Keurig. I like the convenience and the fact that I can easily make one cup since I am not a big coffee drinker. Do not like that the coffee does not get as hot as I think it should, but I understand the new ones have a temp control. I also do not like that the cups are not environmentally friendly but I think they are also working on that or at least I hope so.
I have a Jura. It grinds the beans, will make a strong or weak blend and will do either 2,4,or 8 oz. It empties the grounds into a little box that I empty at the end of the day. The water gets filtered and it tells me when I need to clean the machine. Great for that one good cup at a time and who does not want to do a lot of tasks or washing.
Bunn VP-17
Built like a tank. There's a reason there's one of these in every cafe and diner from sea-to-shining-sea, they're built to last. I think I paid $150 for it about 20 years ago. Just about every part is replaceable in the unlikely event something should go haywire. Family owned company out of Springfield, IL.
I LOVE MY BUNN
The Bunn A10, similar to above. I paid $188 for it about 8 years ago. Over the years we went through several consumer level Bunns. This one cost 3 times as much as the department store Bunns but since repair parts are available, should last forever. Makes a pot of coffee in 3 minutes.
Mr Coffee. It dies every couple of years and I get a new one. I prefer it, but I have it on good authority we drink brown water, AKA farmer's coffee, but we do drink a lot of it. (12 cup measured in the pot, 4 scoops ground coffee level, one scoop heaping -- best coffee in the world.)
