Looking for 110V BRAUN coffee machine
 
Now that P@G no longer imports BRAUN coffee machines into the U.S. and Japan and the going price for the leftovers is about $ 500.00 on the BRAUN outlet store ("http://braun.factoryoutletstore.com/cat/18499/Braun-Coffeemakers.html") I hope someone in the 110V worldwide will be able to let me know where a couple of them are available ( brandnew ). I understand they still sell them in Saudi Arabia which according to some lists is in the 110V world. Maybe there is even a switchable BRAUN coffeemachine. Wouldn't use any other coffeemaker. Hope to get some help here from some expats.

Have you tried Amazon?

Why the fixation on Braun? A drip coffee maker is a drip coffee maker. Now, if you were in the market for an espresso machine I could understand being a bit more picky...

The temperature of the water. Some coffee makers (and I believe Braun is one) make the water significantly hotter than some others.

Exactly and over 50 years with exclusively Braun for those reasons. My machine in Japan finally gave in and I need a replacement. Could run a 220V machine through a transformer, but would prefer to pick up a 110V somewhere, maybe make a mileage run out of it;). Amazon has no more machines, only the outlet store and $ 500.00 is a bit overpriced to say the least. Just hoping that anyone living in a 110V country and enjoying coffee can steer me to a place.

I think you would be very lucky to stumble on one. There are used ones on places like e-bay and others, but I think the true fans have snagged all the new ones that come up and have driven the price through the roof.

I think the only way you will find them for a decent price is to walk into a store that still has one on the shelve for some reason.

If it's for yourself, it would sadly probably be less expensive to buy a 220 one, and have an electrician wire you a 220 outlet for it than to buy one of the $500 ones.

Or find another brand that makes exceptionally hot coffee...

Bunn at least advertises that all their coffee makers brew at 200F.
