This is the same coffee maker that I have but I wouldn't buy it again. The coffee is not very hot to begin with and it doesn't stay warm in the insulated carafe for very long. It is also hard to see how much water you ae putting in it. I prefer the clear water indicator on the outside of the pot - this one doesn't have that. I do like being able to grind the beans before brewing. It is also nice to turn the grind off and use ground coffee if you want to. Does anyone know if there is a difference between insulated and thermal regarding the carafe?

well, it is hot enough for me, and if you preheat the carafe, you're good to go. the water meter inside the resevoir is a pretty good indicator. can't beat fresh ground, but it is quite noisy when grinding. scared the heck out of me the first time it ground.
Agree - Grinding the beans right before brewing is the best!!

Capresso makes some nice ones that froth up milk. Had mine 3 years and love it.

The last renters broke our Starbucks coffeemaker. I refuse to buy another expensive coffeemaker and have someone abuse it.
Does anyone know a cheap coffeemaker that has a thermal carafe (can't tolerate the burned taste of coffee that sits on a heating element) that makes coffee that doesn't taste like warm water with a little brown coloring in it?

I use a Mr Coffee, non-thermal, but brew a fresh cup every time, rather than a whole pot, and never have the burned taste.

I saw that on the Wal-Mart site.
LOL. I don't have the patience to do a cup at a time.
