BIFL Request - Coffee Machine.

In the market for a coffee machine, but I don't want to be spending the earth on some chrome plated monstrosity...

Looking at these, as a friend has a earlier model and it has never let him down and seems to work well enough... Anything would be a upgrade, I am currently working with a shitty walmart one, where the heating plate no longer works, so I am down to making one cup at a time..

Anyone have experience with a BUNN machine who can confirm the newer models are reliable? Or any other brands I should be looking at?

Do you like cafe americano? You could get an italian espresso pot.

I use one of these. I love the coffee. It's super fresh, strong, and flavorful. It's made with 5 pieces - top, bottom, a middle filter, it's lid and a rubber gasket. If you want frugal and BIFL, I recommend one of these.
