So, what kind of coffee maker do you have?

We had a $10 coffee maker for 8 yrs. It was still working great, but I wanted a nice Bunn, with the cool stainless steal pot. I got it and we had problems from day one. The pot would spill every time you poured coffee, just wasn't designed right. Matt got mad one morning and took a file to it, tried to reshape the spout. That didn't work. Then it started leaking, we had to put towels underneath whenever we made coffee. We suffered like this for 2 yrs. Matt went and bought another $10 coffee maker a couple days ago. That cute white one you see. It takes 10 min. to brew coffee, my Bunn took 2. I feel so old fashioned. Just wanted to let you all know I'm no longer living the fast life..haha. Yea, so what kind of coffee maker do you have? I want to know what is the best. In case I try to upgrade again someday.

haha! we had A nice keurig for 2 years it worked good but for some reason I just like the taste of regular old bunn coffee better (plus the K-cups are kind of expensive) SO my Keurig is sitting in the closet and I have a ugly and very old coffee maker out on my counter. But if we ever have the extra money I will be getting a Jura those things are soo nice.

We have a keurig, and I LOVE it! It only brews one cup at a time, which is fine if its just us, or a few other people... but when you have a crowd its a pain! We don't buy the pods though- we have a refillable little cup, so we can use any kind of ground coffee, which makes it much cheaper :o)

Well we have a Bunn...your brother does not like waiting for his coffee! ;p plus all the "slow" ones we've had, he says the coffee tastes burnt. So we have our Bunn, not the stainless steel one, the older one. I think it's been 5 years w/ this one....

Danny and I have a Senseo it makes one cup at a time and it gives you the foamy top that I love! It takes pods which can get expensive..I heard they are phasing this coffee pot out but im not sure if its a rumor or not...I just started drinking tea though so I can run my water through there now too..its a great coffee pot!!!

LOL... too funny! We have a Jura Capresso, it's swiss made. The best investment I have ever made. Well, one of them anyways...They are very spendy but if you are a hard core coffee drinkin finn, then it's worth EVERY PENNY! And if you're not, then it will make you one! Kevin never ever drank coffee until he bought me it for my birthday 2 yrs ago! Now he drinks it all day long & stresses if we r out of beans.
