if i can fix the single serve black and decker (which operates like a normal coffee machine but dumps into a 20 ounce thermos. it's not one of those wasteful keurig catastrophes.), i'll just get a 12 cup machine for $20.
if i can't, i'm going to have to get both, and add on the single serve for an extra $20.
it's not that bad, it's just frustrating; the pot should cost $5. i really don't need a new machine.
as for the 10 cup pot, such a machine seem to be available anywhere anymore. i wonder if the machine was originally imported. that was also a dollar store purchase, in 2013ish. there are some higher end models that still use 10 cups, apparently, but nothing in the $15-30 price range. it's a slightly smaller pot and doesn't fit in the 12 cup machine.
