Black & Decker has a good rating, but I’m serious about my coffee. I roast my own beans, because green beans stay fresh for at least 2 years.

I’m using a Wilfa drip with a Chemix filter. Best coffee maker in my opinion, but we’re talking over $200. But I NEVER buy Starbucks, so the system has paid for itself long ago.

BTW, whole bean coffee that you buy will go stale in two weeks or less after you open. Ground coffee about 2 days. Don’t believe me, take a taste test. People who buy the gallon jug of Folgers or whatever are drinking stale coffee withing days of opening it.

You may not notice this unless you drink your coffee black, which is the only way to drink coffee IMHO.

I buy Tres Rios green beans from Costa Rica and roast my own.

I generally buy from CoffeeBeanCorral.com And have for over 15 years.

Much better coffee in my opinion. I roast a couple of times a week, and grind every morning. Can I ask what vendor you use?
