This is what we have at ON. I picked it up for $50 with 2 pots from an old employer. I picked another one up for $25 at a local building reuse store but we haven't done anything with it. Makes good coffee. We had it hooked up to our in sink water filter for extra yum. Jacob --- Office Nomads

We are lucky enough to be located right next to a street, so we outsource our ground floor (a social and event area) to two girls who are passionate about coffee making, they pay us some basic rent, our members get decent coffee served on individual basis. More please see:

I know this isn't what you asked, but my dream coworking coffeemaker would be a Clover. Starbucks bought Clover and shut them down, but you can still find machines on eBay for under $4,000. =) Realistically, I'd get a French Press, Chemex, Aeropress, and Burr Grinder and let members choose

Thanks for all the tips. To clarify, this is a machinery issue not a coffee issue. We buy direct trade (even better than fair or free trade), locally roasted coffee from a delightful women named Jackie. The problem I'm trying to solve is one of volume. Angel On Aug 4, 10:45 pm, Jazzman3

We currently have a cuisinart $90 version that keeps the coffee hot in an insulated carafe so there's no burner to deal with but 2 members can kill the pot in under 20 minutes so I need a lot more volume it seems. Is anyone using the commercial maker that drips directly in to one of the big air

We get our ours from a coffee service. They 'give you' the maker (we got a maker with an airpot, they gave us two airpots to use, could have gotten more) and you 'just' buy the coffee. Around here (Minneapolis) the cost comes out to around $1 a brew (2.5 oz bag of ground coffee). Not sure
