I can't take the noise of the bean grinding that early in the am. I've had a Hamilton Beach for like 5 years now. Stainless steel caref deal. It has no heating element but will stay hot for hours in the deal. Its like a thermos that coffee can go into but can't pour out until you unscrew the lid. Sucker has a filter on a dipstick. Pull it out and throw it away for a new one. I'm still on the filter I put in 2 years ago. I make coffee daily when I'm home. Brother in law has the same one. They make coffee 7 days a week 365 days a year. Its got him 3 years now without breakin.

I think if ya quit runnin the ENTIRE coffee makin in the dish washer Ozark it will last ya long. Just wash the pot. Although I'm still laughin like hell at all the work you go through just for a pot of coffee.

And for the record......paramedics should carry around The Redheads coffee. It will rise the dead. Its Michelle Obama coffee. Extrememly black, very bitter......the Coffee is hot, but not Michelle hot.
