Do a search on Amazon.com for Hamilton Beach Flavorplus. It's a good
basic coffee maker with a timer so you can have it brew the coffee just
before you get up in the morning. It's gotten mostly excellent
reviews. It has gotten a few bad reviews but after reading them I
blame a lot of it on user incompetence.
