I was thinking about coffee makers my family has had. I don't remember my parent's first. But at one point they had a Mr. Coffee programable with dial clock in white and brown. I also vaguely remember a gray and white Regal drip. Then a plastic Betty Crocker percolator and a Mr. Coffee Accel. After those a cheap dollar store drip that last a week. Then my mom got one of the last slim Proctor Silex. It was still going but I bought my mom a Kenmore programable to replace it. It was awful and was recalled and the second was no better. Then my mom got another Proctor Silex and then a new Mr. Coffee but liked neither as the grounds sat under the lid and would fall into the tank. I found a cheap Rival with separate basket like she prefers and it's still going.
My grandparents had a Norelco Dial a Brew II for years but my grandma replaced it with a new Mr Coffee as she wanted something new. They just use it to make hot water for instant coffee.
My other grandmother liked percolators and had a few Prestos. I think she has a drip machine now that my aunt got her for her assisted living apt but she might have gotten a perc again.
