Our office is looking to buy a coffee maker, and it would be great if we could have one machine brew both decaf and regular coffee.

There are several brands and devices out there, so if anyone could narrow down the field I'd appreicate it.

Thanks!

Get a commercial Bunn coffee maker with a second warming plate.

Bunn will last your office forever.

You can probably find one for about $150-200, maybe less if you find it used on ebay.

As far as brewers that support more than one pot, Bunn is the only way to go.

Good call by amnesiac. At one time, you were able to buy the older model B* for as little as $40.00. The nicer, though internally identical metal clad model was about $80.00. Now, even the cheapest model is close to $90.00! I've seen it at local discount outlets for $65.00 on occasion.

Since these home models are so damn expensive now, you might as well go the commercial grade ones. I've seen fair prices for them at BJ's Wholesale Club.

We owned our home grade unit for over 15 years. Replaced it with an identical unit. 8 cups of coffee in 3 minutes flat! Hmmm, too bad I don't drink it anymore! :)
