I have a Black and Decker coffee maker and thermal pot, no burner.
I like it. It has a screw top you give 1/4 turn to pour. Was a good
price at Target too. I bought it because of the metal pot; I kept
breaking the stupid glass ones.

If you have Goodwill stores in your area, it might be a place to find
one. I don't know how you are about used items of this type. I
inspected mine and it appeared to perhaps never been used, then I
washed it thoroughly and repeatedly.

We finally gave up on "quality" coffee makers and just buy the Mr
Coffee on sale and consider them to be disposable. When it craps out
it is simply replaced with a new one which has already been purchased
on sale.
