Choosing Coffee Makers Without Heating Coils

Bunn 23400 and Black & Decker CM618

If it's a quick startup coffee shop you want or you only need one cup a day, The best is anything with a stainless steel insulated decanter or airpot.

They don't require burners and the pots can keep liquids hot for several hours.

Where I worked we had one of those standard pots that everyone kept forgetting to turn off at closing time, so on many mornings there was a burning mess in the pot.

Besides the energy efficiency and safety of not having a heating coil under the pot, Coffeemakersusa.com has a good argument for switching to an Airpot coffee maker.

After that I also switched from regular coffee mugs to plastic air-insulated cups.
