We have a Bunn that we absolutely love and has been quite dependable. I want to say that I've had it for about 30 years, and it's still going strong. I brew a pot, sometimes two, a day. I certainly feel that I have gotten my $100 worth out of it. It's not automated because it brews coffee in 3-5 minutes (depending on what water spray head is used). Sometimes if I know I'll be rushing in the moring, I place the ground coffee in the basket and get water ready for it the night before. Then when I get up, I pour in the water and by the time I'm ready, the coffee is ready.
Bunn does make one with a thermal carafe as well.
