Thank you! It’s just the two of us, and we typically hand-wash our carafe and filter basket even though everything is dishwasher safe (we don’t run the dishwasher frequently enough).

I would likely not opt for the “yeti-like” carafe, but rather the glass carafe. I trust it would not need a brush and I could hand-wash if desired. As for breaking other parts down - do you do that daily (assuming daily use).

I’m looking for something reliable and consistent and relatively simple. We are not “coffee aficionados” as it seems many of you are!

We have a Bunn (it’s our second) but it stopped producing a consistent amount. Sometimes it would brew the full amount of water and sometimes less (by half at times). It was all over the map so it went into the cupboard and hasn’t come out in years. The first one performed well for 3-4 years but then started doing funky stuff with quantities so it was ditched in favor of new - but then started doing the same thing only much sooner in the life span.

What do you mean it doesn’t brew? You can brew coffee in the refrigerator have you ever heard of cold brew?

You’ve clearly been paid off by the shadowy creamer consortium that exists to ensure all coffee is acidic enough to need creamer added to it.

Great Zeus’s beard ! R Rated was banned What a classic. Banned during a heated (sorry) discussion over the correct pour temperature for coffee. Lol. He’s going to have to get another full time hobby - At 6 posts per day, every day of the year, for the last 2.2 years; it’s a full time job. That’s 175 posts per month. Every month. Commitment.

We miss you R Rated. I know you’re there
