Big on the coffee. Been using a french press with pleasure for many years, but since the GF moved in, we've been using her Mr. Coffee drip machine because she gets up first and it's less labor intensive. Time to replace it. Looked around. Everything is so damned ugly right now. Prefer white as opposed to the hot stainless look right now. Not big on the thermos type. Want to see the actual coffee in the pot. I'd like something with an adjustable hot plate temperature thing as we often make only around 5 cups, but it's not super important. Whatcha think?
