If you keep your coffee maker out on your countertop all the time, do you like how it looks on your counter?

For many of us, the coffee maker is one of the most important appliances in the house, and we couldn’t start the day without our morning cup of coffee!  The coffee maker itself, however, may not be as pleasant, and we’d like something a bit more stylish. 

How does your coffee maker look on your countertop?  Is it modern and does it fit in nicely with your other appliances, or is it an eyesore that you’d like to keep hidden from view?  We’d like to know!

No, my coffee maker is an eyesore on my counter (21.1%)

    Ever since my family discovered that none of us have a high caffeine tolerance (in other words: continuous bathroom trips after intake of caffeine), we rarely use our coffee maker and so keep it in the cupboard.

    We always keep it on the table. When we kept it on the counter, we would get ants (yuch!!).

    I'm primarily a tea drinker, but of course make coffee for guests (and occasionally for myself). I have two coffee makers, if you will. The regular electric one I keep in a cupboard. The smaller, nicer looking French Press I often have out.

    My coffee maker is on the counter, always. But I don't have much space. My kitchen is REALLY small. So, I think that adds to my dislike.

    Our Bunn stays on the counter top due to constant use. It would be nice if it matched the rest of the decor.

    I'd probably keep it out on my counter no matter how it looked -- I NEED that morning cup of coffee! -- but I would really be happy if I could find a more attractive one.

    We have a Cuisinart that dispenses the coffee from the unit and it matches our stainless appliances. However, it would be wonderful if blubirds would fly in every morning,sanitize it and place it neatly in the cabinet, and off of the counter. They'd have to show up again in the morning to pull it back out though.

    I basically have it out because I use it everyday sometimes twice a day and would be a pain to take it out clean after using it and put it back over and over again everyday. Just easier to leave it out.
