Try the Ninja Coffeemaker, I love mine it's not huge and I've had it for 6 years with no issues. I clean it every other month and as I have hard well water. The only downside is if you have low cabinets over where you place the coffeemaker, the vented steam from the lid might cause issues. I just pull mine forward when brewing.
Idk I swear by my Ninja coffeemaker after Mr. Coffee and other name brands failed after a year or so of purchase. Going on 6 plus years now, with only one water leak that I was able to resolve by clearing out the water inlet, as long as I clean it regularly my coffee never tastes bad. Even using ground Aribica coffee from BJs club, it tastes good enough for me.
I've been a big fan of the Ninja coffeemaker we purchased a few years ago. What I really like about it is that almost all the parts can come out (the filter holder, the water reservoir) and can go right in the dishwasher for regular cleaning

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!
The fails I’ve had have been despite routine maintenance. The ninja I loved, but the buttons stopped responding unless I left it unplugged for a couple hours before using it again. We’re on our second Braun, the first replaced under warranty after it started leaking from somewhere internally.
We got a cheap Mr coffee while we waited for the replacement, but more often than not it ended up with grounds in the coffee. Use less, too weak.
Before we switched back to a pot, our Keurig chugged along for years, rarely requesting maintenance. 😂
My mother has a ninja. I've used it, it makes a decent cup of coffee. She drinks a cup or two a day, sometimes using locally roasted beans and sometimes whatever is on sale at the grocery store. Every time she comes to visit me she comments on what great coffee my moccamaster makes and how it's better than what her ninja makes. Would upgrading be worth it to her? No, not really.
I love coffee and I've gotten deeper into it as a hobby over the last few years. I upgraded my grinder, I started roasting my own beans, etc. Drinking coffee is one of the highlights of my day. To me, dropping $$$ on a coffee machine was worth it. I've been really happy with my moccamaster - I've found it makes a consistent, delicious cup of coffee using a wide range of beans.
At the end of the day, it's a silly expensive drip coffee machine. Whether or not it's worth it is a matter of perspective.

Durable, repairable workhorse, but pricey with basic features.
