You can never go wrong with a black and decker coffee maker.  They are affordable so if yours stops working you can always get a new one right away. They make great  gift too. The coffee always taste wonderful and it's programmable for have your coffee made when you get up. The only thing id change is to make the automatic shut off also programmable. From 2 to 5 hours .. incase it shuts off before you are done drinking.  coffee never taste good in the microwave..
