I URGENTLY need your assistance on this IMPORTANT question!!! [View all]

What's is the BEST electric drip coffee maker I can buy for under $100.00?

I currently have a Cuisineart but the drip isn't working right and I dunno what the hell is going on! And i JUST bought a big load of coffee paper filters and I don't wanna buy a big bunch of different paper filters. The round ones.

I feel very sorry for myself. I need something to help me start my day with my honey nut cheerios and a good cup of coffee, no espresso (I don't care what they drink in Italy).

Please help. Thank you!
