Coffeemaker recs?

[lemons]

H's Birthday is approaching and I thought I'd replace his coffeemaker since the handle is about to fall off. Not interested in Keurig systems, but a system without a carafe might be nice. What's your favorite coffeemaker for $80-ish or less?

I have a Mr. Coffee, but it's got a carafe. www.mrcoffee.com/coffee-makers/mr.-coffee-advanced-brew-12-cup-programmable-coffee-maker-with-permanent-filter-black-chrome-jwx27pfwf/JWX27PFWF.html?gclid=COScl-SI08UCFZE2aQod5WUAdQ&kwid=productads-plaid^51320962143-sku^JWX27PFWF-adType^PLA-device^c-adid^55542490090

I'm not opposed to a carafe, but the handle is usually the first thing to break on his machines :-)

I'm not sure about glass carafes. They're a bit too fragile for H. :-)

I have a cuisinart one I really like because it has a thermal carafe. It's really sturdy, and there's no burner. The hot coffee stays in the thermal carafe and seriously stays hot for hours.

I second this rec; glass carafes suck because--in addition to being fragile--the coffee sits on a burner getting scorched. Coffee is delicate stuff--sitting on a burner is bad news. Being programmable is nice, too; I get it all ready go before I go to bed and the coffee is done when I'm ready to pour and run out the door.

If he has any interest in "fancy" (lol, not really) coffee, I really love my moka pot:

I've just got a cheap aluminum one, but it's great for making iced coffee and generally just strong, delicious coffee. But more labour intensive than a normal drip maker.

I love my Farberware percolator.

I have a Mr. Coffee with a thermal carafe at work, and I love it. The cuisinart one I had at home ALWAYS leaked, and I was happy to get rid of it.
