With the discount it cost about $150. Overall I liked it but it has some downsides. It is hard to clean. It uses a lot of coffee. Our 7-yr anniversary is coming up and we are no longer using the grinder feature bc it broke but we just turn the grinder off and use with ground coffee. The carafe works great, keeps coffee hot for hours, esp if you rinse out with hot water ahead of time. I would probably buy again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-pick-a-coffee-maker#post-1611012 Sat, 03 May 2014 19:19:11 +0000 lilyofthewest 1611012@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My coffee machine is dead. I am a little sad about this, but, mostly excited to get a new one. </p> <p>Do you have one that you love and would recommend?</p> <p>Needs:<br /> 10+ cups</p> <p>Wants:<br /> Programmable<br /> Really good thermal carafe, or hot plate has auto shut-off<br /> Built in bean storage and burr grinder<br /> Looks pretty</p> <p>That'd be nice:<br /> Hot water tap<br /> Slide/pull out water tank (rather than having to move machine out from under cabinet to fill) </p>
