I have a Bunn coffee maker that I have had for almost 11 years now and I love it! Of course I have broke more than a few carafes, but that's just because of my poor depth perception.

It keeps a pot of water in a little tank at all times and keeps that hot so when you poor your water in coffee is done in about 2 minutes. As for filters, we buy them at the Dollar Tree. My hubby didn't like the idea of having the coffee pot using electricity to keep the water hot all day. So he put it on a timer. It comes on early enough to heat up in time for morning coffee and goes off around noon.

I'm out of grounds right now, so my morning will be coffee-less as well. So sorry for everyone around me because normally I shouldn't be talked to until I've had my coffee!

I hope you get a new pot soon! If you watch ebay my friend found one there once for 20 or 30 dollars. They are about $100 new in the stores.
