Even on sale the cuisinart was more than this and the last one we had for 6 years...not a bad investment until the hubs can start working;-) </p> [attach=2526/13/mxs6m0.449x600.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/emergency-mayday-mayday#post-1281012 Fri, 13 Dec 2013 20:38:57 +0000 MrsADS 1281012@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a Cuisinart!

But we only make coffee on the weekends for the most part. We both buy it at work during the week. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/emergency-mayday-mayday#post-1280209 Fri, 13 Dec 2013 14:31:19 +0000 doodlepoodle 1280209@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got the same coffee maker we had, just the newer version (it was 6 years old!). I got a big HELL NO on the expensive ones and we needed something NOOOOOOWWWWWWW haha! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/emergency-mayday-mayday#post-1279819 Fri, 13 Dec 2013 12:27:55 +0000 lovehoneybee 1279819@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to have a fancy Cuisinart that I loved but it died after less than a year, and in our early morning desperation went to Kmart and got a Black and Decker one...12 cups, no extra bells and whistles but it is programmable. Paid like $30 and have had it for...4 years now? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/emergency-mayday-mayday#post-1279760 Fri, 13 Dec 2013 12:12:49 +0000 cmomma17 1279760@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes to cuisinart! Get one with a timer! Set it up at might and it turns on and brews when uou tell it to.

It's the same reason I can't go Keurig. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/emergency-mayday-mayday#post-1279644 Fri, 13 Dec 2013 11:41:44 +0000 doodlepoodle 1279644@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@septca: that's a heck of a deal but I'm honestly not sure DH is willing to wait until next week...at best...to get it! :/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/emergency-mayday-mayday#post-1279634 Fri, 13 Dec 2013 11:37:00 +0000 MamaMoose 1279634@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@babyjmama: They do actually make what is essentially an empty K cup and you can add your own ground coffee to it. I know a lot of people who do it that way. Something to consider : ) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/emergency-mayday-mayday#post-1279629 Fri, 13 Dec 2013 11:36:17 +0000 doodlepoodle 1279629@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BabyBoecksMom: if only you were up the road!

We have the one that @septca: listed on top. </p> <p>My coworker use to have a grind and brew and said it was a bad investment because when the grind part stopped working they had to throw out the whole machine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/emergency-mayday-mayday#post-1279567 Fri, 13 Dec 2013 11:24:57 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 1279567@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@babyjmama: You can have our Cuisinart - we just upgraded to a Keurig, so we need to find our old one a new home. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/emergency-mayday-mayday#post-1279558 Fri, 13 Dec 2013 11:23:14 +0000 swurlygurl 1279558@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So many fancy ones! DH and I have an older version of this one. Nothing too fancy, but you can set a timer. :) We looove that you can just push your cup against the button to dispense - no pot to pour!<br /> <a href="http://www.walmart.com/ip/Hamilton-Beach-BrewStation-12-Cup-Dispensing-Coffeemaker-with-Removable-Water-Reservoir-47900/21130091" rel="nofollow">http://www.walmart.com/ip/Hamilton-Beach-BrewStation-12-Cup-Dispensing-Coffeemaker-with-Removable-Water-Reservoir-47900/21130091</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/emergency-mayday-mayday#post-1279524 Fri, 13 Dec 2013 11:17:17 +0000 septca 1279524@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have this Cuisinart pot and I :heart: LOVE :heart: it. It makes 14 cups, so there is plenty for me + my coffee-guzzling husband. Plus you can set it at night and it automatically makes coffee at the time you wake up. Bliss. My favorite feature, though, is that it has a "bold" setting to make your coffee extra strong, just the way I like it. :happy: </p> <p>It's on a ridiculous sale on Amazon right now (normally $185 - now $88!): <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Cuisinart-DCC-2600-Central-Programmable-Coffeemaker/dp/B001NGO27W/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1386951154&#038;sr=8-1&#038;keywords=cuisinart+14+cup+coffee+maker" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Cuisinart-DCC-2600-Central-Programmable-Coffeemaker/dp/B001NGO27W/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1386951154&#038;sr=8-1&#038;keywords=cuisinart+14+cup+coffee+maker</a> </p> <p>My parents have this machine, which is pretty cool if you and hubs are on different morning schedules (it makes the coffee and then keeps it in the machine and you dispense each cup individually rather than holding the coffee in the carafe):<br /> <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Cuisinart-DCC-3000-Coffee--Programmable-Coffeemaker/dp/B005IR4W7W/ref=sr_1_3?s=kitchen&#038;ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1386951357&#038;sr=1-3&#038;keywords=cuisinart+coffee+maker" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Cuisinart-DCC-3000-Coffee--Programmable-Coffeemaker/dp/B005IR4W7W/ref=sr_1_3?s=kitchen&#038;ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1386951357&#038;sr=1-3&#038;keywords=cuisinart+coffee+maker</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/emergency-mayday-mayday#post-1279502 Fri, 13 Dec 2013 11:12:05 +0000 NorCalWayfarer 1279502@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH loves our Cuisinart w built in grinder and thermal carafe (so it stays warm for hours).

There's a kohls right by my office! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/emergency-mayday-mayday#post-1279475 Fri, 13 Dec 2013 11:06:54 +0000 shopaholic 1279475@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lol! No help on the regular coffee maker.

But I just wanted to say I find it hilarious that I now have Keurig ad on my page : ) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/emergency-mayday-mayday#post-1279425 Fri, 13 Dec 2013 10:54:33 +0000 doodlepoodle 1279425@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our coffee pot shot craps this morning. Waaaaahhhhhhhhh!! </p> <p>So we are now in the market for a new coffee pot! We do NOT want a keurig, DH drinks like 10 cups/day and that would take a lot of kcups! I want to stay around $100 or under if possible. </p> <p>Recommend your fave coffee makers so our marriage can survive this weekend! </p>
