Something that'll work & look nice. No thermal carafe -- too hard to clean well. All of the 4-cup models I've seen are pretty much trash. Don't really care how much it costs if it fulfills the above criteria. Thanks. - Richard Mon Sep 17 08:00:19 -0700 2007 127431 expatCanuck 1 2948358 Have you checked out Chemex? it doesn't get much more simple. http://www.chemexcoffeemaker.com/ Mon Sep 17 08:42:38 -0700 2007 2948203 123676 Velvet Elvis 1 2949378 Or a Bodum? http://tinyurl.com/327w99 Mon Sep 17 13:00:13 -0700 2007 2948203 12873 OCAnn 1 2957116 Check out the Black & Decker 5 and 12 cup models -- they seem pretty compact toi me. But beware the "Space Saver" unless you want to mount it under a kitchen cabinet. Wed Sep 19 15:06:39 -0700 2007 2948203 55316 mpalmer6c 1 2961500 When you find out, please let me know! I am looking for a GOOD 4 cup model with little success. I have the Black and Decker, and do not recomend it!!! I would be very willing to pay whatever!

It does make great coffee, though. http://www.melitta.com/itemdy00.asp?T1=64+0446&Cat= Melitta makes some electric coffee makers as well, the 5 cup looks pretty small and if it does as well as the filter cone you'll likely be satisfied. http://www.melitta.com/search.asp?SKW=ELCM Tue Sep 25 07:53:46 -0700 2007 2948203 82797 itsrob
