Hey, no worries then, glad it works for you. If it’s not obvious I’m a bit of a coffee snob. 😅 At least for my own drinks, not judging others.
I used a blade grinder for years, was happy when I could afford a real burr grinder, since blades don’t grind evenly and heat up the beans. I gave up on automatic coffee pots a long time ago, something like a decade ago I think. Switched to French pressing, and eventually to a preference for pour-over. Steel in both cases, since I find glass to be a bit finicky.
Do clean your drip pot by running some vinegar or 50/50 vinegar and water periodically. They can get really gross inside and some parts of it you can’t really reach without disassembly.
