So now we're looking at a Technivorm based on the comments. Checked their website and I see 11 models. Sweet Maria's says they all brew the same cup but differ in looks and whether or not the carafe is wanted. Anybody have any thoughts on models? We can't decide if we want a carafe, mainly because we already have one, and by brewing in a carafe we can't see when the coffee's done brewing. Thanks all! --Brian
