Call me crazy but I don't mind a bit paying $100+ for Cuisinart coffee makers with a built in grinder and thermal carafe!
The coffee is FRESH ground and the heater is top notch. The thermal carafe needs no warming pad and keeps the coffee hot for 4 - 5 hours! No cook-off.
My last one just gave up about a month or so ago after 3 years of nearly commercial volume use!!!!! The last pot it made was as good as the first one. The water jacket cracked so I had to give it a decent burial.
I might get the one with the burr grinder and bean reservoir next.
