Looking for input from the coffee snobs here. I'd like to get a drip coffeemaker to replace the Melitta that just died (it was a PITA but made pretty good coffee). Got a Cuisinart that is just OK at Costco; decided not to pay $300 for a Technivorm nor wait 3 months to buy a Bonavita online for about half that. Anything available locally (central OH) that I'd be happy with? Can't find a Capresso machine in stock anywhere.

Any recommendations? I need strong flavor, especially now that Doc tells me to cut to about 1/4-caf. I drink Italian Roast preferentially, but have to live with Starbucks Espresso Decaf for the decaf portion of the brew.

Don't recommend Zochiruchi or Mister Coffee - they're crap.

Technivorm Moccamaster K 741 AO. Buy directly from Boyd's Coffee, only $219 and free ground shipping. While you're at it, order yourself a pound of the Cafe Rojas. Heaven in a nitro gassed bag!

I buy Starbucks AND Dunkin Donuts to make at home.........I tend to drink more coffee in the winter because it's cold. I don't really drink much in the summer, unless it's iced coffee. I don't drink it for the caffeine either, I just like the taste.

I drink it for both, but mostly the taste. There are several really cool local coffee shops here in Lincoln, but although I like the people who run them, I go to Starbucks for the consistency of the flavor. There's less up-and-down in the brew at Starbucks, while my local shops tend to be hit and miss.

The caffeine is a necessary thing once in a while, but the flavor is the most important thing.

This is a very non-thump, thump-esque post in that he is not a coffee drinker, but it is a banal question with a poll.


As for my answer, I go with Einstein's simply because they have a cafe in the building next to where I work. However, my true preference would be Dunkin Donuts.

Would thump use "banal"?

This is what we have. List is $100, but get a 20% off coupon from Bed Bath & Beyond.

It's six years old and been very reliable. The thermal pot will keep coffee hot for about five or six hours without it tasting burnt. Programmable is nice because I can set it in the evening and stumble into the kitchen and have coffee waiting for me.
