I've got the Barista Aroma that's sold by Starbucks.  It's a drip machine
that dumps into an 8cup capacity stainless steel thermos.  In the interest
of this recent water temp measuring effort, I decided to measure the temp at
the output of the sprayhead.  I filled the maker to the full 8cup level with
cold water.  Using a digital thermometer, the initial water temp was 192F
and it increased over the total brew to a high of 206F at the end.  The
total brew time was 7 minutes on the nose.
I like the unit for ease of use, but it's not as easy to clean as a unit
that would use a glass thermos.  The Barista uses a stainless steel thermos
and the metal tends to be harder to remove coffee stain than glass.  With a
glass thermos, I can use Urnex and with very little effort, the glass shines
like new.  With the metal thermos, a lot more scrubbing is required along
with the Urnex.  There are probably those who would also say that glass is
better so that no metallic taste is imparted to the brew.  I haven't noticed
any metallic taste versus brewing into a glass container/thermos.
The thermos keeps the coffee hot for many hours (practically all day), but
we all know how coffee doesn't improve with time.  Because the coffee drops
directly into a thermos there is no heating element required and thus one
less part to fail in the future.  One last thing on the Barista, the white
plastic screw-on top permanently stains after a few uses and won't come
totally clean even after soaking in Urnex overnight.  This is simply a
matter of cosmetics though and doesn't really affect anything.  Hope this
helps.
