I just had to go and post about my coffee maker! Well, after ~16 years (not continual service, but still) the old coffee maker died.
After a valiant attempt to fix the old coffee maker (the blown thermistor had useless markings), we bought a new carafe-type coffee maker. It uses .08 kwh to make 5 cups of coffee (our usual morning batch) and uses ~1 watt in standby (we're not leaving it plugged in). We've only made a couple of pots of coffee, but it works great so far.
I haven't mentioning the brand or model as we've only had this coffee maker a short time. But, it is Consumer Reports' highest-rated carafe-type coffee maker.
Here's a bit more info on our new coffee maker, energy use, etc. -
