This shouldn't be downvoted. It's an honest representation of the situation. The reality is that most consumers (and I'm one of them) will not pay $200 for a coffeemaker when they can buy a $20 one every few years.

It's simply not worth it to most of us. OTOH, a long time ago I spent $200 on a KitchenAid mixer that is all but indestructible and has a healthy supply of spare parts for the occasions when something does break. Having a mixer that can power through stiff bread dough is worth $200 (probably far more now due to inflation) to me. Having a coffeemaker that's easy to clean is not.
