I brew a pot of coffee every morning.
(electric) Drip coffee makers last about 6-12 months,
before something goes bad.
Often I can take 'em apart and find the bad bit.
This limps them along for another 6-12 months.
(I wasn't able to find the bad bit in the latest Mr coffee that
failed... grumble. (And the f'ing security bits.))
A new one is ~$30-40. Do I just keep throwing them
out? Another solution? I'll use a hand poured drip tomorrow, heat
water on stove pour through, let drip, add more hot water.
But I really like the convenience of pushing a button,
going off for the morning ablution, and coming back to a cuppa.
(Is cuppa only for a cup of tea.. in Oz?)

Theres cold brew but it's a lot more messing about.
I have a couple of Gevalia-branded ones that have lasted for years and
years. Ebay is your friend.
I took a look and there are a number of different Gevalia models.
In fact, it is amazing the proliferation of coffee makers. There may be
more types of coffee makers than there are types of coffee!
