"They say a good old "Mr. Coffee" gets the job done right. It all has to do with the temp of the water..so "they" say.

I have a Automatic Vienna machine. With the press of a button it grinds the beans from a hopper, adds the water from a container, makes the coffee and then dumps the used grounds into a self contained box that you later clean out. It makes the best coffee I've ever had but will set you back about 600 clams. I apparently take my coffe seriously.
When it breaks, I too will be in the market for a replacement. I won't be spending another 600 clams, so I'd go the Mr. Coffee route.
