My "4-cup" cone-filter coffee pot

Target, WalMart, Kmart, ( even SEARS ) No luck !

While there are several 4-cuppers available,
all use "basket filters". ( personally, I feel that a cone gets more out of the grains )

Shopped AMAZON. ( 4963 pots available )
Except for a few overpriced europots,
there was only the "TOASTMASTER" pot.
( I may have bought the last two available )

Who decides these things ?
Are American consumers anti-cone-filter ??

I have a cone one - 12 cup, but so what if you only make 4 cups? It's
a Hamilton Beach, I think (I don't buy small Black & Decker ever) -
has a "permanent" gold mesh cone, and I can put paper cone filters in
it - is that what you're talking about? I like mine, but only use it
once a week or so. It's got drip suspension (so you can take the pot
off while it's brewing) and a clock/timer.

I used to have a Braun - great outfit - free replacement if it's still
under warranty and they refund your shipping cost.

I have a 12 cup Braun which I have had for years. It is starting to leak now :-( I dread trying to replace it.

I hardly ever make a full pot unless I have people over. I use it only during the weekends and I am the only coffee drinker in the house. I usually make enough for 2 cups. Works for me.

I have one of those one cup pod things at work.
