A commenter in the last post asks what I use for making coffee. The answer is t
his Cuisinart model, which uses an internal carafe. It makes good coffee, keeps it hot without that burned flavor because the carafe is internal, and has a little gauge to tell you how much coffee is left. Less mess, better coffee, and it's a huge hit at brunch.
