For a drip coffee maker, I would buy a Moccamaster again. Ours have run daily for over ten years, and only issue is a broken LED. Which we will fix at our own convenience. Raipairability and replacement parts availability is a great pro for Moccamasters.
The One maintainance tip for drip makers if you want your coffee to stay fresh:
