Need a Auto Drip Recommendation

[Commander Quan]

I am in need of a good enough quality auto drip machine. I don't need a ton of bells and whistles, just a machine that has a timer I can set to start, and one that brews at, or close enough to proper temps.

What have you got for me?

I have a Cuisinart 10 cup (DCC-1150 as I recall) with a steel carafe that has served me well for a few years. It has a timer, short cycle (4 cups or under), clean cycle, and a replaceable water fulter. I got it on Amazon at Christmas a few years ago for around $60, which was a smokin' buy. It serves my purpose very well.

We have had the Grind and Brew since we got married and it gets the job done for us, if you're interested in one that grinds the beans as well. We've had it for six years and two kids (and the number of cups we make seem to increase with each kid).

There was a recent thread about a couple of the better auto-drip machines (Technivorm or Bonavita). The Capresso is another one to consider, with its built-in grinder. The Capresso gets some good and mixed reviews, I don't know much about it other than you can set it on a timer to grind and brew, so you can wake up to a fresh pot of coffee.

I'm good in the grinder department, and I have 5 different manual/stovetop methods of making coffee, so what I'm looking for is something I can set the night before if necessary, or turn on and walk away from. This one may get the nod Zojirushi.

I have been using a Cuisinart DCC-1200 12-cup Brew Central Programmable Coffeemaker for the last three years or so.

I don't really like the complication of combining a grinder with the brewer, but it does offer the advantage of using freshly ground coffee, versus something ground earlier.

That Zojirushi does look like a good machine.

The temps never seemed to get high enough with the Zojirushi.
