I have a MoccaMaster like Old Glory and it's excellent. Paired with a reasonable burr grinder (Baratza encore) and I get good coffee with only the occasional cleaning of both.
I really dislike kuerig things since I don't like all the plastic waste and frankly don't see the need. I toss some beans into the grinder, they're perfectly ground in 20 seconds, I pour them into the Moccamaster, coffee's ready in 4-5 minutes. I mean, sure you can shave a couple of minutes off that with a pod but come on, if your morning schedule is that tight...
NOW..,. The Moccamaster, Behmor etc are pricey and might be too much for a casual drinker who's not really into coffee... so then I'd look at something from this list https://thewirecutter.com/reviews/be...-coffee-maker/. I mean, aside from nailing the temperature of the water, drip makers aren't complex machines. Clean them once in a while (run some vinegar and water through a few times, then plain water to flush out the vinegar) and you'll be fine. I had a 4 cup Krups that worked for 25 years....
