So I've been using a 2 cup single serve flow through cone filter gizmo like this to fill my travel mug.

The wife has been using a french press to brew her coffee.
Both of the above scenarios involve nuking water so its still kind of a PITA, and probably not the most efficient use of electricity.
She has been recently diagnosed with high cholesterol. One warning about coffee consumption is using mesh filters instead of paper filters allows chemicals in the coffee to exacerbate your cholesterol issues. The paper filters trap those chemicals and make coffee healthier for those with cholesterol issues. So its time for us BOTH to use filters since her french press isnt good for her.
And we want to be able to make a pot when we have family over. (not a hard requirement. We can buy a second cheap pot for those events... like 2x a year)
So now I'm on the hunt for a coffee maker that wont break the bank and isnt so cheap we have to buy repeatedly.
Here are my requirements:
-K cups are out of the picture and a solid nope. The cups are wasteful and stupid expensive. Even with the refillable baskets they are a PITA. So no. Just no. I've tried them at work. (the linky above is my solution to avoiding them)
-MUST use paper filters in a basket with no proprietary stuff needed. (like coffee filled pods or cups) cone or basket filters only.
-I'd like one that I can direct brew into a tall travel mug AND a carafe so I dont have to wash a carafe every time. (once again, no K cups or refillable baskets)
-Don't really feel like spending hundreds of dollars since we dont use it daily.
-Don't need frothers, or other fancy gizmos because we just drink hot coffee and not fraps, caps, espressos, etc.
So what says INGO? Any suggestions?
