I’m looking for a good reliable coffee maker. this will be the third one I’ve bought in 4 years. First I had a cuisinart single cup maker and now I have a keurig that has developed a leak. I want to find something that is going to last a long time.

This is the one that I have: https://www.amazon.com/Cuisinart-SS-...s%2C159&sr=8-6
It's been discontinued, so you can only get refurb ones from Amazon. As Keurigs go, it's the most bulletproof one I've had. I was going through Keurigs at the rate of about 1 every 2 years. I've had this one for close to 5 years without so much as a hiccup.

One added advantage is that it's small enough to carry with you on trips.Last edited by RonB; January 5, 2020, 09:45 AM.

+1 on this. I travel over 150k to 200k miles a year all over the world and there is no coffee like I get at home from this little beauty. My one tip is grind your own beans right before using (they don’t have to be fancy, the After 8 beans my dad has used for 40 years do a good job) and you will be all set.

I of course love smoked meats of all kinds, but also like quick cooks like chicken portions, pork tenderloins, steak and fish. Really into cooking of all kinds.
My outdoor kitchen has a Lone Star Grillz Adjustable and it is wonderful. There also is a Pit Boss 5 Burner Ultimate Griddle.
There is an outdoor fire pit that has grilling capability and limited Santa Maria-style grill raising and lowering.

Like ComfortablyNumb and jerrybell, I prefer not to replace a $100-$200 coffee maker every couple of years. Instead, I invested in a good burr grinder made by Oxo and the cheapest Mr. Coffee machine. I don't even do the whole remove scale with vinegar thing and it seems like the current one is at least two years old and was about $15. Our coffee tastes great done this way and life is much simpler with only one button on the coffee maker.

I have the Breville Grind Control Coffee Maker. I love this machine. It grinds, and brews like a champ. It is built like a tank too. Best coffee maker I have ever owned by a mile. The the coffee pot is a like a huge Yeti, so it holds the heat very well and it keeps the coffee hot for a long time. I got this coffee maker from my Dad after his wife could not figure out how to use it. LOL, their loss is certainly my gain.

As a coffee addict since my teen years, I've got my own preferences and routine that work for me, but your mileage may vary. I stopped using plugin coffee makers after a couple power outages left me with no way to make coffee. I use a plugin tea kettle for convenience but of course have many ways to boil water with natural gas, propane, charcoal, wood, buffalo chips, etc. Also, I found that overall these make better coffee (to my taste) than automatic drip or Keurig.
Here's all my stuff - collected over a couple decades of trial and error - these are the keepers for me. Everything else I tried has gone to Salvation Army or the trash. Left to right.- Manual burr grinder
- Hario electric burr grinder
- Coffee pot for cowboy coffee or percolator insert - for a change of pace, campfire coffee, or when I need enough for more than 2 or 3 people. I don't use this often enough to get a lot of practice, so I get inconsistent results - sometimes it's great and other times weak, strong, or burnt.
- French press - this was my daily go-to for years until I switched to pour-over as my main method. This stainless one is heavy, but it's also insulated and unbreakable (unlike the couple glass ones I went through).
- Hamilton Beach electric teakettle in back - quick and easy way to boil (unless the power is out). Not shown is the whistling stovetop teakettle I used before I got this and still use on the side burner if I'm making coffee on the patio.
- Aeropress - back when I did more camping and travel it was handy. I still use it occasionally when I want a single cup of coffee or for Teeccino (non-coffee substitute)
- Hario pour-over - my go-to most mornings for the last 4 or 5 years
- Bialetti espresso maker. This was a gift - I use it occasionally. It's good but I think pour-over is just as good and easier.

Definitely NOT a Keurig fan. I have an older Cuisinart that makes more decent coffee. Looking to upgrade but that old Cuisinartjust won’t die🤣.
