I had one once that boiled the coffee -- but it was a metal pot, so I couldn't see what was happening. It took me a week to figure it out, why it was ruining some extremely good coffee. I thought it was the water, I thought maybe it was the filters -- I thought, even, that the maker needed a thorough cleaning. But, no, it was boiling the coffee from the moment the drip made it into the pot. I finally figured it out by listening to it. By far the best coffee maker I know of is a simple French press. Second best is a cup-top brewer that drips coffee directly into your cup and you drink it immediately, without letting it sit. Third best is a coffee maker that uses a thermos type carafe instead of one that sits on a heater. Great site by the way!
