You know, when you all talk about coffee makers, I really feel like a dinosaur! I just don't like coffee maker coffee, period.
I like the old fashioned boiled stuff, from the stove top percolator. The ones with the glass bubble on the top so you can see that it is strong enough to strip paint.
I know the "experts" say that to get "perfect coffee" the water should be exactly 190 degrees, and then drip through the perfect grind, etc. To me, that just wastes coffee! Get that water up to 212, and get all the flavor out!
Truth is, I drink more tea than anything. Scots heritage, I suppose. But I like my tea strong too! And when I drink coffee, well, you know.
