After 6 coffee makers died in one year and as many were returned for being DOA the last time, my family got a Keurig machine. I was back to a percolator running the wrong grind at the time the monster box filled a fifth of the counter space. The machine died a year later and never really ran my coffee.
The neanderthal coffee maker (who knew that neanderthals even drank coffee) is capable of brewing single cups or carafe of coffee. It takes about the same amount of time as my automatic (though I do have to do the pouring). I can make the coffee stronger (by pouring slower) or weaker (by pouring fast), so as an "artisan" this appeals to me.
There are a couple of well-regarded wood coffee makers similar to this, but their footprint is vastly larger. My counter space is at a premium so I prefer the smaller size.
I've been waiting for it to fall apart or for the finish to fail to replace it with the new improved version. But alas, this is the pink bunny of coffee makers. It keeps going and going.
