Just checked out the Saeco makers. WOW! I like my coffee but not quite that
much. Then again I could pawn it down the road to pay for an engine
overhaul. ;:-)

Glenn,
I know everyone has an opinion and I am no exception. I am single and I
love my coffee. Everyone that visits wants a cuppa and I found a solution
6 years ago to fresh coffee 24 & 7 on demand. It makes no sense in my
situation to make a pot of coffee when I am alone and instant just doesn't
cut it. Please consider the Saeco Brand automatic coffee makers. They
grind the coffee and brew the cup on demand. The quality is phenominal.
You can adjust the grind, the temperature and the strength at will. They
make expresso, cappacino, tea and cocao. They have the facility to steam
milk or cream as well. They are not inexpensive, but they are well worth
the money. These are machines you make space for. For size, my machine is
13" wide, 11" deep and 15" tall. Depending on the model, these
measurements can be more or less. They are very reliable and parts are
available world wide if needed. They are all high impact plastic, except
for the guts. You must use filtered water, but that is a no brainer
anyway. They are very easy to secure in place and you never have to worry
about splashing hot water. You can drop about $500 on one and more, but
you can find them on eBay reasonably. I swear by mine. It will spoil you
for anything else.

Guess you can tell I am working on the galley/salon. :-)
Being addicted to drip coffee, I have been looking for a good coffee
maker with a thermal carafe that would fit in the galley without taking
up much space and not end up on the deck. Finally found this:

at Defender.
Anyone seen one of these in person? Most built in coffee makers run two
boat bucks or more. I am wondering if this thing is built well enough to
hold up.
