What Coffee and Coffee maker are you using these days?

Right now I am drinking Starbucks ground Columbian coffee, and I have been using a small 4 cup Cuisinart maker, but thinking about switching to a Bunn.

It's a something, that brews about 8 cups into an insulated carafe, which stays drinkably hot for several hours. In it, I put a something brand 'espresso roast' from Sam's Club, which goes for 11.something per two and a half pounds. Oh yes, and I grind two fairly large, partly full grinder loads per pot, and drink it with a half cream.

My wife has some stainless looking thing that gets fed whole beans, and automatically grinds them up, delivers to a non-paper filter, and makes coffee. I'm not much of a coffee drinker in the summer, but in the winter, the coffee she buys and comes out of this thing is pretty good.

Melitta coffee maker (fast!) and usually Melitta coffee.

Here is a pic - it's called fastbrew - and that is no lie!

Drip from 7-11, Dunkins Donuts, or Starbucks. In that order. First thing I do in the morning to start the day, buy coffee. Everything else follows that first outing.

Best coffee machines are German, Krupps, Braun, Bosch, Mellita, Miele etc. they have the best tasting coffee period, the water gets heated right, the drip cycle is perfect, you have the correct tasting coffee everytime. For grinding, I use Braun coffee mill and if I have time, I use a locally made stone grinder which has to be operated by hand. For coffee its usually local with a blend of heavenly Malabar Monsoon, I also get Indonesian Java, fantastic nectar.

Depends.

On a good day: Blend of 1/2 Italian dark roast, 1/4 Ethopian and 1/4 Guatemalan, Peet's Coffee.

On a bad day: Folger's instant toxic shock coffee and cold pop tarts.

Anyone use a commercial grade Bunn, for home use? I am not sure if one would be much better than the consumer grade models, anyone know?
