Great Coffeemaker At A Great Price

My husband and I are trying to decide what kind of coffee maker we should buy. We have always wanted to buy quality, however, the last coffee maker we bought cost a lot of money and the coffee didn’t taste any different; then after two and a half years, the heating filament burned out. Do you have any recommendations?
Jill- Omaha
We have just purchased a new coffee maker after spending much time on-line and in stores trying to decide which one was the best for the money. The more reviews and consumer comments we read the more confused we became. We came to the conclusion that all coffee makers have their good points and their bad points; and some are such lemons that the coffee probably has a sour taste.
We settled on a name brand with a stainless steel carafe which cost $80.00 but returned it after three brews because after the first cup, the coffee had a terrible taste. We considered paying more but found some bad reviews on the more expensive models as well.
Sears Kenmore – Our Choice:
To make a long, convoluted story short, we ended up buying a Sears Kenmore with an extended warranty for less than $30.00 including the state sales tax. This machine may not have all of the bells and whistles; however it is an excellent drip coffee maker that makes delicious coffee. Jill, there are other brands out there for less than $50.00 that are simple and practical. We really suggest that you check out the Kenmore version.
