My Hamilton Beach "Brew Station," circa 2002, has been dying a slow death the last 6 months. Today she started leaking, so I think it's time for her to retire. I love that it doesn't have a glass carafe and I can start filling my cup mid-brew (no burning drips). After a quick look down the aisle at Target & Kohls, I realize there are A LOT of coffee makers out there. I need to stay under $50-60. My parents love their Cuisinart, but I don't need all the bells & whistles.
Re: NBR: Recommend your coffee maker
First, I love that you call your coffee pot a "she", second, sorry it is dying.
We also have a Cuisinart and LOVE it, we've had it for about 4-5 years. DH got it for a really good price, but I have no idea where. It is THIS one. He did a ton of research and found it was the best rated one, we also grind our own beans, and are picky on the coffee and we always get compliments from guests who have to use our coffee pot or drink the coffee!
ETA: We have a separate grinder as well.
