ITT, You recommend Coffeemakers

[Cainad (dec.)]

I think it would be easier to just trash this one and buy another.  it is just a cheap hotel-style 4 cup Mr. Coffee anyway

do this:



the plastic thingy costs only like 2 bucks or something.

I can vouch for this method. The one time I had it this way was about the best cup of coffee I've ever had.

I know it's sort of a fringe method, but I like it:

Pour your hot water into a glass container with coffee grounds.  Let it steep.

Use a mesh strainer to get the coffee out.

What you get is this murky, scary sludge with silty residue on the bottom. 

As I said, most people won't like it this way, but I do.

Pretty much.  It was developed during a time of low-tech living.
