That's what I have. But I have one of the older ones that actually lets me program down to a single cup. The ones that do that now have way more bells and whistles than mine does. But I love it. I actually have two of them because I had one in my office before I retired I figure the what I'm actively using is going to die eventually and I'll use the other one until it dies. It makes a small pot maximum of eight cups

Could you not order one from Amazon US with your UK Amazon account? It figures out all the shipping etc. The Ninja DualBrew will have a higher price here as drip coffee machines in general aren’t as popular, unfortunately. I do like them when in the US. What *are* popular here, increasingly so, are bean to cup machines. That’s the way it’s going here. But anyway you can get the Prestige DualBrew for £208 on Amazon UK currently. I think that’s a decent price for what it is, and it does have a decent reservoir, and a morning timer on it. Which would replicate most of the features you’d get on a US drip machine. Edit: The Ninja FreshBrew (for example) is £143 from Amazon US logged in with a UK account. That’s with any relevant import and purchase taxes and shipping. Shipping to the UK is £26 which is not bad at all.

A cheap basic Mr. Coffee drip. If you want to spend more I love my Ninja 12 cup machine. It blooms the coffee and makes great coffee.

I’m perfectly happy with my $70 Ninja 12 Cup and it has an auto start timer. Use it every single night and it’s ready in the morning. Full 12c of water in the hopper. 70g of Lavatza dark roast from Costco. 90 clicks on a Kingrinder K6. Pretty good is good enough for us.

Awesome, the drop 12 cup maker I bought last week isn't even on either list. :D But for under $100, the Ninja 12-cup is meeting our needs very well.
