When you troll you need to give a bit more information
of what type you'd like and what size, too.

I've found that with good coffee, any drip coffee maker will do.
I don't care for the taste of the coffee using metal filters.
Never paid more than 20 bucks for a coffee maker.

On the principle of low cost, minimal clean up, and one or two cups a
day is enough, a decent coffee (ground from beans in small batches) and
a small cafetiere is the best compromise for me. And I've tried a few ;-)

Me, three.

I use a Black & Decker Brew 'n Go. It makes up to a 16 ounce
insulated mug, included. I also grind the beans I'll need for
that mug of coffee daily with a burr grinder.

I make a full pot with whatever Mr. Coffee I bought at the last estate
sale (they don't last forever so I always have a backup out in the
garage) and Costco french roast beans ground with a yard-sale blade
grinder. I turn the machine off when the coffee is done and heat it up
in the microwave one cup at a time until it's gone -- generally two days.

It may be noted that I once drank half a cup of plain hot water in a
black cup at the office before it sank into my brain that the coffee was
AWFULLY weak today, so I'm pretty sure I don't qualify for a Gourmet
license.

In my defense, I've tried a French press and one of those little
aluminum stove-top espresso makers and didn't think either was any
better than what I normally do.

When I make coffee in this Brew 'n Go I put the creamer
and sweetener packets in the cup before starting the machine.
Once I made coffee and after stirring, but before tasting, I
thought that coffee sure is milky looking. I looked at the
coffee grinder and there were my freshly ground grounds waiting
on me.

I've thought of trying both makers you mentioned but I can't
bring myself spend the extra money just to see if I'd like
either one better. Especially when I'm already happy with the
coffee maker I have now.

That's the nice thing about yard sales -- you can try stuff for a buck
or less!
