I am done with low end coffee makers, my last big box store special a Mr.
Coffee is on it's last leg after less than two years of use. This one won't
shut off, not just the auto shut off, I have to unplug it to turn it off.

My considerations now are a better drip coffee maker, a French press or a
30s/40s Manning Bowman or Chase elec. percolator.

There's the Cuisinart Brew Central & Programable Thermal, Capresso MT500,
and Krups Aromacontrol currently in the running for auto-drip coffee makers.
Bodum, I'm not familiar with any other French press brands. And the vintage
hunt as possibilities.

If anyone can share which makers they've had great luck with I'd be
delighted. I'd also like to hear which brands/models are best avoided,
especially if they are on my list of considerations.

Thanks,
Jessica
