Winston,

Now that you have seen the inside of a Mr. Coffee, might I suggest
that you get yourself a Bunn coffee maker. When you take one of those
apart, you find a stainless steel tank and industrial quality
components.

The machine is built to last however so the only time you take it
apart is for a very deep cleaning, and while you probably will never
need them, parts are available.

Also you get a full pot of coffee in three minutes.

We've been using the household type Bunn cofeemakers at home and at our
small office for over 15 years and I do appreciate being able to make a
full pot of coffee in 3 minutes.

One thing though, I try and not think too often about how many KWH per
year I'm wasting by their keeping the water at brewing temperature all
day and night. I did try using little "plug in" timers to turn them off
overnight but those damn timers only lasted a few months before they
either konked out or started making annoying whirring noises.
