I don't dispute that an automated machine may be able to dispense great coffee, but I haven't seen it.

At my various client sites, all the automatic machines dispense vile coffee. And I'm not picky...I can stand drip brewed Folgers.

There's nothing wrong with drip brewed folgers.

There's nothing wrong, but little good either.

My favorite is the one at the oil change place where they never clean the pot. Add some powdered creamer for extra deliciousness.

I have a nasty old drip coffee machine (the type you find in hotels, very high milage) sitting next to my fancy espresso machine at home exactly to make this type of coffee. I love all of god's coffee children.

We have Melitta Bar Cubes in the office and they are quite good.
