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.

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

. 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.
