Cuisinart 12-Cup Programmable Coffeemaker in Black w/ Knuckle Guard & Dripless Spout is only $34.99 shipped ($130 list). We broke down and bought this yesterday. I just went online to see what filter it needs and it was on Amazon for “only” $68.14 ($130 retail). Ouch! This is a factory-refurbished unit with a 90-day warranty…which is good enough for me.

The Dark Side of Couponing
Go to ebay to find one of the gold mesh filters.
Bear in mind if you have hard water you will have to run vinegar through about every 10 to 12 weeks. I have a similar machine with a built in grinder.
We have a new gold filter for the Krups which will work with this unit, and we also use paper filters because they trap even more “stuff.” FirstBorn tried a pot without and even he was convinced. We have Lake Michigan water, so hard but not overly so. Oooh, a built-in grinder! Now I have something to aspire to!
