CustomerReviews

I don't understand all the positive reviews!
We purchased this coffee maker after the large number of 5 and 4 star reviews on this site. After using it, I wonder if I received a defective product, or perhaps my expectations are not what they should be. Backstory: had a Cuisinart 4 cup coffee maker which we loved (in terms of coffee taste) but started to leak, so we purchased this one. Here are my thoughts based on comparing the two products:



Pros:

-Makes coffee fast

-Timer function

-Compact design



Cons:

-Coffee taste: our Cuisinart tasted much better. I thought perhaps this was because we were using coffee which had been ground a couple of weeks prior, so we had new coffee grounded fresh, and still it tasted tinny and weak. My theory is that the coffee maker perhaps just doesn't heat the water enough to get the full flavor of the grinds.

-Design: poor design. I understand that this may be one of the better designs for a non-hotplate coffee maker (the coffee did stay warm in the carafe), but the lid contraption is difficult to use - you have to unscrew it halfway to open it, but then it feels loose, and the carafe still only trickles out coffee. Also all the buttons are squished together and the same size so it's very easy to press the wrong one. Lastly, the side panel has a water gauge to tell you how many cups you've poured, except ours doesn't appear to move for only 2 cups (when you pour in more than 2 cups, it immediately jumps up to around the 3 cup mark). Very, very difficult to measure how much you're pouring in so we ended up just using a mug and estimating which worked okay.



I hope I got a defective model (I returned it just yesterday to Amazon) because I would hate to think that I could no longer trust the numerous reviews I've relied on at Amazon.



Coffe Lover
Loved this coffeemaker! Easy to work, makes a delicious cup of coffee, and keeps it hot without any difference in flavor. What more can anyone ask for?

Simple and perfect
Great coffee maker! Very simple in design, but simpler is better in this case. It also ships very fast even with the free shipping. If you're looking for a coffee maker that makes perfect coffee buy this one! The carafe keeps the coffee hot for hours without that bad taste you get from a warmer plate. Buy it!

I dunno who needs to scrutinize every little detail, but this thing does what it's supposed to do. I have had it for a month now, and everything works as advertised.

Coffee stays 'steaming' hot in the thermos for a couple of hours. Set the timer in the morning and this coffeemaker never has to infringe on your morning routine.

My girl gets up at 5:30 a.m. and coffee is ready, hot, and waiting for her. She has a cup or two, and when I get outta' bed a few hours later, coffee that is still in the thermos is STILL hot!

Any little detail people complain about, ie. pour speed, or plastic heat-catching cap (for top) causing brewing problems, etc. : deal with it! These are not inconveniences, these are 'darwin-istic' features, ifyaknowwutimean!



Good product for us.

I like this coffee maker a lot. The carafe will keep the coffee hot for a few hours, so you don't get the burned flavor that coffee makers with heating elements do. It is made with quality materials (stainless steel), love stainless steel on my appliances.
