You guys sent me in the right direction for my home coffee maker so now I'll put my office in your hands. We need a single serving machine that is bullet proof, user friendly and makes GREAT coffee.

We currently have a K-cup single serving machine with is HORRIBLE. Looking for something that is semi-instant, single serving and can make different flavors. We have two different individuals in our 15 person office lobbying different machines:

1. The coffee snob wants a $3,000 single serving, grind on demand machine which is VERY nice but is VERY complicated, easy to break, not user friendly, no service contract/warranty outside home use, etc. With this you can not grind many different types of beans, it's messy, requires vinegar cleaning (often) and an understanding of the machine and coffee brewing.

2. The Dunkin Donuts person wants a drop pot into a 10 cup heated pot. Something I am VERY against because this is the type of thing that will never get clean, be left on over a long weekend only to be a fire hazard/disaster... on the other hand its simple, can brew any type of coffee, cheap, etc.

Is there something that makes on-demand (keeps hot water internally) single cups of coffee either without a filter or something that is self cleaning?

Are there better, more high end K-Cup machines that will make something decent? There is a starbucks and a DD's right next to the office (within a block) so we need something good but not that good.

Thanks for any advice
