Tired of paying for these K-cups, I need a regular maker, 10 cup or so.
Bunn? Any suggestions?

Easey peasey, buy one of the little plastic refillable cups, no more high priced K-cups.

Mr Coffee brand , the $20 dollar ones - you can program to have it ready when you wake up , or just takes a few minutes to brew otherwise. Or find a stove top percolator for a better cup that makes the house smell good.

If you really love drip coffee, there's really only one worth owning. Most drip coffee makers aren't heating water to the right temp. Only a couple do, and this is likely the best of those that do. While it's not cheap, the flavor is night and day different from cheap coffee makers... https://www.williams-sonoma.com/pro...d2ZqrjIb1r1_F_HcMjH0Vzl50CRoCftYQAvD_BwE

SandBilly, ge ye one of these. They work great and, as expensive as coffee is, it is cheaper this way than via the K-cup and you still get the single cup convenience. Below is a photo of mine and here is a link to some "prettier" ones: https://www.amazon.com/Maxware-Reus...cup+filter&qid=1639162440&sr=8-7![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/YyupdpOm.jpg)

Bunn is the answer if you don’t mind paying for it.

Those also allow you to fine tune your brew, putting the exact amount of coffee in to suit your tastes.
There are 2 rules to success:
1. Never tell everything that you know.

^^^THIS^^^ I have a Mr. Coffee for the house - need the coffee pretty quick after waking up. Yet, percolating is the best way, and that's the way my camping coffee is made. Percolating coffee makes the camp smell wonderful and inviting...

Plus one for the percolator. I use one on the stove top when I have company, or for special occasions. Otherwise I have one of the small five cup Mr Coffees that I use on a daily basis since it's normally just me drinking coffee.

12 cup Mr. Coffee.
Brand new today.
We get 3-4 years from one before they stop heating as well. 1-2 pots a day.
New one came w a brass filter so no need for paper filters.

Thanks. I should have said patience isn’t one of my virtues. I’d rather have a hot cup ready when I’m ready. Big pot with a timer sounds good.

Cuisinart 12 cup. First one lasted 2 years and got a short in the wire. Could've fixed it but the old lady tossed it and bought a new one without asking.
Did the K-cup thing for a few years and figured out it wasn't that convenient if you wanted more than one cup, and I normally drink one and take two with me, or slam a yeti thermos full if it's cold. I usually make 10 cups in the pot and it's about right.
