BEST COFFEE MAKER FOR A GOOD CUP OF COFFEE Iam an avid coffee drinker. i tried all brands of coffee makers except cusinart and bunn they were expensive with different coffee beans hoping for a flavor and taste closer to any restaurant made coffeei was disappointed in all of them. The coffee was just warm very lighteven coffee from mr coffee had a strange plastic taste in it.I bought this coffee maker because of the label aroma express it says right the coffee is amazing.PROSGREAT coffee very flavorfulcoffee is very hotbrews at hot temperatureconvenient and simple.cheapIt is a manual coffee maker so thats the only drawback.What good is automatic coffeemaker if it makes a bad coffee.I had this for almost 4 months never had any problem.
Technical info on the product The coffee maker was a replacement for a similar model by the same maker that I used satisfactorily for a number of years and that was bought in the UK. Unfortunately they are no longer available in the UK so I was delighted to be able to purcahse this from Amazon.com from America. Whilst I couldn't fault any of the purchase process which was excellent when it arrived I realised that I couldn't use it because of the difference in the electrical requirements between the US and the UK. I had assumed that as it was being sold in the UK it would work in the UK and there was no information on the site to suggest anything different.I could purchase a current converter but the cost for this was excessive in relation to the cost of the item and it is therfore unusable.The company again were exceptionable in dealing with the issue which led to a satisfactory conclusion from my perspective.
perfect for my needs At my husband's suggestion I originally bought a small coffeemaker five years ago for the bathroom for handwashing and shaving needs due to our hot water heater being quite far from the bathroom. I got this one because the old one seemed to be getting tired.I was amazed when we got the first one to find the electric bill went down $10 a month!! I do not pour the water through the machine just fill the carafe and set it on the heating unit and the water is ready to use in 45 minutes. Put the plug in the basin and mix the water to your preferred temp.This new one is just right to fit under the bathroom cabinet with a small clearance. The price is right too. Thanks Amazon.
poor design and poor quality As the retired CEO of an engineering company I concluded that this coffee maker's design and quality were poor. We threw it in the trash and bought another brand.
love my little coffee pot This pot is a perfect size for my husband and I in the morning. It makes two mugs and that's enough for us.
Carafe is not great but the coffee is fantastic I love this coffeemaker. The carafe does not have the little plastic lib that you put your thumb on to pop the top up which is the only major drawback. The coffee is wonderful though. I think it is brewed at a hotter temp than the other coffee makers I've had. Before this I had the 5 cup Black and Decker where the carafe just fell apart after about 4 months. The bottom dropped off the handle. This is what set me looking for a new one.
This is a GREAT little coffee pot !! Don't be swayed by the naysayers. I've had lots of drip coffeemakers cheap to expensive. This is hands down the best you are going to get for a small pot and the price is better than any other I've found. I don't understand the complaints and bad ratings I've read. As far as pouring I'm one who just can't achieve the knack of pouring a cup without dripping on the counter. It's no different with a Bunn or a Cuisinart or a Mr. Coffee. So I'm either careful or I pour over the sink. Seriously it's a $20 pot. It makes a TERRIFIC tasting cup of coffee. Anyone who has used a Mr. Coffee and wondered how some plastic and glass can give something such a weird taste? This pot will not give you that bad experience. I couldn't be happier and that is why I'm back for another. I've beat mine to death making one to two fresh pots every day for a year and a half. That works out to this little workhourse costing me about three cents for each brewed pot.
This is a fine little coffee maker I've been putting off writing reviews on items I've bought through wonderful Amazon but have decided I'll do a few to have some fun and maybe help people in deciding what's good and what maybe isn't so terrific. Doing this review was the one I wanted to do first because a couple of weeks ago I read some comments about it that just didn't seem fair.This little coffee maker does a fine job! At first I was a bit careless and lazy and ended up missing my targets when pouring from the little glass pot as others have complained about. But what I found was that all one has to do is simply line the spout up square with your mug or the built in water reservoir and carefully pour. Since I began doing it that way I haven't spilt so much as a drop!The unit makes the coffee in around 5 to 7 minutes depending on how full it is. This is a VERY nice little coffee maker and that's all there is to say about it. Buy it and enjoy it!An update This little coffee maker continues to work as well as it did the first day I got it. The little pot is good for boiling water in the microwave to make hot tea FYI.
Very Poor Design of filter basket I purchased this coffee maker because I like the swing away filter basket. However I found it very difficult to remove the filter basket from the hinges for cleaning and just about impossible to replace it. I had to tilt the maker to see the tiny holes where the notches of the basket goes. I tried several times but it seemed to get more difficult. I realized that tipping the unit could prove to be dangerous and damage the unit. For these reasons I returned it which was quick and relatively easy with Amazon.
