I love my new Kitchenaid Classic 10 cup maker. It brews at 200+, in less
than 7 minutes and costs $39.00 at Lowes.

I'm looking for a new drip maker that makes great coffee (of course)
but also is fairly compact. I've had an old Krups that I was happy
with for about 10 years, but its on its last legss.

Just looking for more data to compare.

I've read some web reviews that suggest the Krups 453 and the Braun
KF187 are top makers, but the 453 seems rather bulky and the KF187
seems to be discontinued.

In case replies are being sent off-group, could I put in a plea for the
same information, please? (In my case I'm not so worried about
compactness -- just good coffee.)

I've tried on-line reviews, and have found them contradictory, and mostly
by people who have just bought their first coffee-maker. What I need is
advice from people who know what they're talking about. My coffee-maker
has just died, also after over ten years service, and I need a simple,
straightforward maker of good filter coffee. I don't want steamed milk,
I don't want clever gadgets that are almost certain to go wrong, I just
want coffee.

Thanks in advance,
Peter J. King
