Perhaps a little more info would help; are you a coffee "fanatic" or just want a coffeemaker that doesn't die in a few months? The reason I ask is, if you are not a fanatic - don't grind beans at home and obsess over Kona vs. Peaberry vs. whatever - the answers will be very different.

If you are a "fanatic", I suggest you ask your question on alt.food.coffee and rec.food.drink.coffee where other fanatics can guide you. If you just want a Mr. Coffee type that works without all the marketing hype, you might also want to ask in rec.food.equipment

However, these pots require a tiny bit more fussing around then Mr Coffee type brewers and some folks may already be over-challenged
