[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I need a coffee maker! Requirements:

-can make smaller amounts (not a full pot each time)
-great strong hot coffee
-a good quick choice for making a few cups if neighbors drop by
-glass carafe, not stainless 
-easy to clean 
-prefer not having a million plastic parts (which is why I ruled out the Ninja Specialty)

Is the Moccamaster right for me? If so, which one? If not, what else look to look at?[/quote]

I have the moccamaster with the steel carafe (but you can get glass too) and a separate coffee grinder. The only con is that there's a little start up to figuring out the machine. Steps as follows:

1. measure coffee beans on scale, put in grinder. 
2. put in paper filter pour in ground coffee
3. fill top of machine, with correct amount of water
4. make sure the filter is open at least part way when you turn on the machine or there will be an empty carafe and very hot water sitting precariously in the filter!
5. Coffee doesn't take long to make and soon you be doing these steps in your sleep (almost literally)

Buy a coffee grinder- Moccamaster + freshly ground coffee beans = divine

I've had the machine for several years. It's easy to clean and indestructible. [/quote]

Thanks - what kind of grinder do you have? Slightly overwhelmed by all the options. Do you grind fresh right before every single brew?[/quote]

I believe it's a cuisinart. We got it a Williams and Sonoma at the same time we bought the machine. Both have been great- no problems, excellent coffee. [/quote]
