Best programmable drip machine for weekday coffee?
if you just want hot, ready, not burnt at 5am, you don’t need to spend breville money unless you’re super picky. i’ve had good luck with mid-tier [programmable machines](https://deo9gr5ha90bn.cloudfront.net/?q=GMKAO1487) that actually hit decent temps and don’t nuke the pot. as in things like the bonavita 8-cup, oxo 8 or 9 cup or even the cuisinart perfecTemp line. Also one underrated thing: thermal carafe > hot plate. that’s usually where the burnt coffee feeling comes from. once i switched to thermal, even cheap beans tasted fine for mornings.

Best device to make a pot of coffee?
I have an use an aeropress, v60, chemex, and a french press. These all make great cups, but not convenient if you're in a rush. If you're into having a morning ritual and process, go for one of these. I still use these methods if i'm working from home, or a nice weekend up. I got tired of having the coffee ritual, I ended up getting an OXO 9-cup brewer as a gift. It's SCA (specialtiy coffee association) approved and makes a good consistent cup. I'd use more light-medium to dark roast coffee in a dripper machine. It can still brew light roasts if you're into that, but it doesn't excel at it since you can't dial in temps. I've had it for about two years and I've had no issues and it's my daily driver. You can see a list of approved home brewing machines here. You can find machines in the $150 - $300 range -- https://sca.coffee/certified-home-brewer SCA has certain criteria to be considered a SCA approved maker.

Can someone please rec a drip coffee maker that won't rust on the base where the pot sits? Bonus if it is 6 cups or less. Even being careful, mine always drip and rust.

Coffee machine for life? (or at least a few years)
https://www.oxo.com/barista-brain-9-cup-coffee-maker.html have the previous gen going on 9 years. handle on the carafe failed and was replaced without questions or jumping through hoops. has an automatic timer so I can have coffee before my brain works. the timer and price are the main reasons I didn't get the technivorm moccamaster.

What home coffee essentials have held up and lasted you over time?
Good grinder (I have a Bartaza Encore which has lasted 6 years and shows no signs of breaking + has replaceable parts) and a good pour over automatic coffee maker (I have an oxo brain 9 cup that’s 10 years old, but people love the mocha master)
