Our first Mr. Coffee lasted 2p years. We only replaced it because the carafe broke. On our second now.

My vote is for the $50 Cuisinart at Costco.

There are tons if working coffee makers at thrift stores.

Also have a Cuisinart. That thing will outlive us all, and the coffee is fine.

Why is no one mentioning Mr. Coffee? That's as basic as you can go.

My Zojirushi carafe broke (again) while washing it at 6 PM. Went to Amazon and ordered a Mr. Coffee and it arrived by 7 AM the following morning, just in time for breakfast. Impressive.

It's fine and does a straightforward job.

Another vote for a basic cuisinart coffee maker.

I love the technivorm moccamaster. Consisently good coffee, every time. I think they basically last forever.

Bunn VP17.

Look for one certified by the Specialty Coffee Association: https://sca.coffee/certified-home-brewer

I use a Bonavita and am happy with it. Technivorm is also well-regarded but has a taller footprint. The SCA has certified models from a few other brands, as well.

Bunn is best - clean it monthly with vinegar.
