"I'm partial to Krups - my Krystal Arome coffee maker has never made a bad cup, and they're one of a few household brands that brews at the correct temperature (many run cool). So my recommendation would be a Krups Krystal Arome Time. You can tell which one it is because of the funky spherical carafe. Any Krups with the word "Arome" in the name will also make a very good brew." "Krups and Braun burners seem to run at a temperature that does not burn coffee. I have to say that with my Krups machine, I don't notice a difference until coffee has been on the burner more than 20 minutes (it shuts off the burner at 29 minutes)." "I've had a Krups coffee/espresso/cappucino maker for years that I LOVE. Previously, I'd buy whatever was on sale, then throw the darn thing out when it no longer heated properly. Moral of the story: Ya get watcha pay for." "I have a Krups and a Proctor-Silex, and love them both." ElectroBest.com is an independent Krups dealer.
