I'll jump in here and suggest a Technivorm Moccamaster. As simple as possible but no simpler. It has an "ON" switch. Excellent drip brewer. Widely available. Handmade in EU. Five year warranty. All parts available and serviceable. Design has not changed materially for decades. Certified by European Coffee Brewing Center and the Specialty Coffee Association.

Where I'm coming from: I'm picky about coffee making and am not interested in the espresso investment for home. So I made delicious Chemex and Hario pourovers for myself, family, and friends for 15 years because I never thought I'd enjoy the compromises of a drip coffee maker. I was wrong. The Moccamaster makes an excellent half or full carafe, consistently, every time. And I don't suffer Pourover Interruptus on busy mornings. The thermal carafe version was my choice. No regrets.
