good and not so good features September 9, 2008
2 out of 3 found this review helpful

I generally purchase products based on review comments and this product came with good reviews. The instructions on the top of the coffee maker are not needed and do detract from the look of the product.

Coffee brews fast and is hot. At first the no drip feature worked fine. However, after several weeks of use when I remove the carafe to take some coffee before it finishes brewing, coffee drips. Nothing worse than the smell of burnt coffee on the keeps hot plate.

I ordered another product and will try again for a coffee maker that lives up to its advertized claims.

Pretty good except for a few things August 20, 2008

The good things about this machine are:
1. It's small and makes 2 perfect 8 oz. cups of coffee
2. Coffee is hot
3. The stainless steel carafe is easy to take care of because you don't have to worry about it breaking.
4. The filter and components are easy to use and clean

Things that need improving:
1. You can't see the water level.
2. It's not digital so you can't program it.
3. The hotplate is really too hot so if I leave it on after the coffee is made it burns it pretty quickly. This is a hassle because I always have to listen for when the coffee is finished brewing so I can turn the machine off.
4. It is a little difficult to take the pot in and out because of the filter apparatus. I was used to having the pot in place then putting in the coffee in the filter and closing it. It's not possible to do that with this machine. You have to close the filter before putting the pot in place.
5. The filter drips water when you open it to empty it.

I chose this machine because it had such high ratings but I think if I had to do it over again I'd choose the Mr. Coffee one. I only went with this because of the stainless steel carafe and because it claimed to make hot coffee but now I have to watch the machine so not good if I need to have the coffee sit there for a little bit. Can't really comment about the quality of coffee though because I think that has more to do with the bean than the machine.

Bad Coffee, Ugly August 7, 2008

This pot makes very poor tasting coffee. It is hot. Also, the pictures don't show it, but the coffee maker has a series of bright white drawings on the top showing how to make coffee. It looks terrible in a home.

Really a 4 1/2 star review June 24, 2008
7 out of 8 found this review helpful

I bought this coffee pot several months ago, and for the most part, I think it's excellent. It is definitely better than the Cuisinart coffee maker I had previously. This coffee maker produces very good coffee--and I'm fussy about coffee. The carafe is easy to clean. If you remove the carafe to snitch some coffee while it's still brewing, the mechanism shuts off and the coffee doesn't drip onto the warming plate. The only reservation I have is that you really must turn it off after you pour the first cup, because the warming plate will scorch any coffee left in the pot.

Makes Piping Hot Coffee April 1, 2008
8 out of 8 found this review helpful

At last a machine that makes HOT coffee. Every other machine I've owned I would have to put the cup in the microwave to heat it, coffee was warm at best.
This machine is GREAT!! The best coffee maker I've ever owned, and I've had many. And you don't have to worry about the pot breaking cause it's not glass.
