Its time I bought a new coffee maker. This one by DeLonghi looks terrific, and at $29.99 with free shipping, its a no-brainer. The coffee maker also gets really good reviews.

My current coffee maker is the free one from Gevalia. Its a good coffee maker - I’ve been using it for several years, but I do want my coffee to be a little hotter, and supposedly the DeLonghi makes very hot coffee.

Here’s another one that is ten dollars cheaper:

DeLonghi DC50W Twenty Four Seven Coffee Maker

REVIEW: I bought the black coffee maker above, and while its nice, its far from perfect. The filter arm does not operate easily, and it gets stuck preventing the coffee from draining into the decanter. I’m sure its going to overflow one of these days. The handle is designed so that the heat from the coffee exits right onto my thumb. Ouch!

The one thing they got right on this coffee maker is the drip control. You can easily take out the decanter and there are no drops onto the heating pad.
