makhayThere are some coffee makers that are not SCA certified that come close or pretty much meet the specs. Like the Ninja 12-Cup, or the Zojirushi 5-cup and 12-cup options. However, I agree, the rest mostly not great because they don't get hot enough.
bigwizZojirushi is very solid
BWasTakenMy Zojirushi is a beast. Not one issue in 5 years of daily use.
Have the same one, can’t recommend it enough. Especially if you need your coffee to start before you wake up.
Formal_Change7297I adore my Moccamaster. I have practically every coffee gadget known to man. Ok, not really...but it's close. Chemex, V60, French press, moka pot, percolator, Aeropress. I feel like I'm missing a few... I had a Zojirushi drip maker for years that made a perfectly adequate cup every morning before work. The other ways were reserved for weekends. I can use the Moccamaster as a pure drip machine and get a really good cup of coffee. Or I can babysit a bit more like a Chemex and get a GREAT cup of coffee.
graffiksguruI second the Zojirushi, stays warm forever too
HenbogleI have a Zojirushi. Makes good coffee, brews into a thermos and stays hot all day.

App-controlled customization, but unreliable and finicky interface.
