But, I want something with quality, and what I did like about the Bonavita was the brewing at the optimal brewing temperature (195-205 degrees) and most definitely the shower head water system to ensure even water saturation.

So, I would like to find both of those features, but I am concerned that it is the high temperature that made the cost so high.

I'd like to keep it below $100.

Consider the NINJA. It definitely heats the water to the proper temperature. The biggest selling point for me was it blooms (pre wets) your coffee grounds. I got mine at Kohl's with a 30% off coupon (and on sale) for a little less than $80.00

This is the one I bought. (there are at least 6 different to choose from)
