I recently visited my son and then my daughter. Both had expensive coffee makers. Honestly neither one made coffee that tasted any better than what my 12 cup Mr. Coffee turns out. Their is nothing magical about pouring hot water over coffee grounds to extract the flavoring. If the pot seems to get overheated on the burner, put a few pennies on the burner to lift the pot. My daughters coffee maker had a grinder built in. It seemed rather like a Rube Goldberg contraption.
