If you’re looking for a standard drip coffee maker that makes good coffee with no frills, check out the Bonavita Connoisseur. One-button operation, a good 8-cup vacuum carafe, about $180.
If you’re looking for something that just makes one or two cups, both the small and large Aeropress are great, as is the Oxo Brew.
I am not a coffee connoisseur, but I did use a Bonavita Connoisseur for about 6 years at home. Unlike the various machines that came before, it still worked and made decent coffee. I packed it away because I really only want 1 cup per day. I really appreciated have the thermal carafe to keep coffee hot for a meaningful amount of time. And it didn’t seem suffer from scale.
I’ve been super happy with my Bonavita Connoisseur. It has a great, consistent heating element. I pair with a Baratza Encore coffee grinder, and am truly amazed at the quality of coffee I can get out of it.
