This is all very interesting!  I'm hoping for one for Christmas!  Although, it's interesting the comments about the size.  I have read many comments on Amazon that the 3 cup seemed too small.  So, I figured the 6 cup was the way to go.  Although, I'm concerned now that my grinder will make insufficient sized coffee (since I do not have a burr grinder and my current grinder does not make fine ground coffee).  Although, I'm still hoping to get one for Christmas 

  Although, with the way the economy is going, I might be just happy to still have a home and family
