I'm actually on my second 4-Cup Coffeemaker as my first one, which was eight years old, suddenly gave up the ghost. But there was no question that I was going to get  a different brand: the Cuisinart 4-cupper has always made perfect coffee for me, regardless of whether I was using fresh ground coffeehouse beans or canned ground coffee from the supermarket. The steel carafe insures that I never have to  go looking for a replacement for a broken glass one, and it cleans up well with no lingering aftertaste. Its size also means that making a mugful of coffee is quick and easy, and you don't waste coffee when you don't want more than one cup. (You're also not creating more plastic waste using some little one-use dispenser, looking at you K....g. I take my used coffee grounds and filter and put them in the compost collector.)
