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.

We bought the Ninja 12 Cup, it’s very simple works well, I’ve had it for like 5 years use it daily, only issues is the LED basically died on it, but it still works for brewing.

No it hasn’t been worth in my opinion. I am a coffee snob, only buy beans from my fav micro roasters, grind my own beans, am careful not to let the hot plate burn for taste. I have not tasted any improvement from the much cheaper ninja drip coffee machine that I replaced. I kinda wish I went with a different brand. The moccamaster seems to be marketed more on “longevity”, the ease and ability to clean, quality of manufacturing. But lacking in my opinion in a few features, for example ability to brew without the hotplate on. And the head that drips water is an odd shape that I can’t help feel is not optimal for spreading water across the entire reservoir.

Tell that to my Ninja coffee maker. First the tank started to leak when you removed to fill with water. The clock timer failed next. Finally the whole thing started to leak. I just got a Moccamaster on 1/2 price sale, and I do think it makes a better cup of coffee faster than my Ninja.

My Ninja died on me. First it leaked so I could take the tank off to fill it, then the LED clock died so I couldn't use the timer function, then finally the whole thing started to leak. Moccamaster is the way!
