I'll be the first to say the usual answer of Technivorm Moccamaster. Literally only 2 switches, on/off and half/full brew. I really like mine, they're hand made, it's built like a tank and you get a lifelong warranty.

Technivorm. The company that makes the Moccamaster coffee machines. You can buy one for life if you take care of it. My brother still owns the one my parent bought 30 years ago. And Auping.

The Technivorm Moccamaster coffee maker. I got tired of buying a new lesser one every year. I’m going on 10 years with mine and it’s still going strong.

The grinder will be bad and the espresso it produces will be frustrating if your goal is to replicate what you’re drinking in good coffee houses. And cleaning it will be tricky and with grounds retained in the grinder. For $360 you could get a used Bambino and a $200 grinder on Facebook Marketplace

Einfache Küchengeräte (keine Großgeräte). Wenn billige Sachen halten und gut funktionieren, toll! Wenn sie irgendwann kaputtgehn (und nicht reparabel sein sollten), weiß man jetzt dass man die Sachen auch gut nutzt und worauf man achten sollte.

Technivorm Moccamaster, the absolute gold standard for coffee machines and it does go on sale at Amazon regularly; you’ll pay for it but it makes drip coffee that tastes like pour over in a consistent basis and it is very easy and quick. You also want to make sure you are grinding the beans fresh in

I’m a simple man. I see Technivorm Moccamaster, I press like.

Maar wel Technivorm Moccamaster van €200 voor de filterkoffie...

My bold opinion is: Moccamaster has always been designed to make full pots, and all attempts to make half pots are never going to be as good. My KBT makes decent half pots, but never as perfect as full pots (at least 1L). This is because it's simply near-boiling water flowing through coffee by gravi
