Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Ok, I nearly was pushed away by the bad reviews on this appliance but decided to give it a try.I bought it about a month ago & I really like it.
I have to start by saying that I am religious about my coffee.I only drink it if it is good coffee & prepared well.I grind my beans & I only use fresh coffee.I am very picky about every aspect of coffee drinking, it isn't a habit for me but rather an experience.
With that said, I have 'tested' each of the problems mentioned in the reviews & here is what I found:
Leaking & overflowing - I have never had that problem after weeks of use, I am not sure why one of the posters had this problem, maybe they overfilled it.
Coffee grains in coffee - Nope, no problem here, the coffee is perfectly filtered with a paper filter.I haven't seen a grain of coffee yet!
Coffee not staying warm - I find that if I keep the lid shut that the coffee stays nice & warm for over 2 hours.
Hard to fill - Yes, this coffeemaker is a bit difficult to fill but as someone else suggested, I just use my sink sprayer to fill it & it is a breeze (thanks for the suggestion!).
Doesn't pour quickly - Yes this is a bit of a slow pourer but I LOVE the caraffe so much that I won't complain about that at all.Patience is a virtue!
Someone else complained that they couldn't clean the caraffe.It does have a small opening but I have found no reason to scrub it (coffee doesn't burn on the bottom like a burner coffeemaker).I rinse it out with some soap & warm water each day & it is fine.It would be easy enough to use a bottle brush as needed.
At first I was disappointed with the strength of the coffee (I am a filter-press & espresso girl & I love it strong).So, I started adding quite a bit more coffee than what was suggested.Then one day, I forgot to put the carbon filter in.As a result, the coffee was very STRONG.So, from that point on, I used the 'regular' strength level and tossed my carbon filter into the garbage.It absolutely isn't needed, I didn't notice any change in flavor.So, bypass that silly expense!
The main reason why I was intrigued by this coffeemaker is the caraffe.I love the portability.I can take it outside or into the living room to read a book or to the computer, etc.The coffee tastes just as good an hour later & there isn't the burnt taste you get from the burner-type coffeemakers.
The clock & timers are self-explanitory & work well for me.
The coffeemaker is very nice looking & looks great on my counter.
I would recommend this coffeemaker to anyone who would enjoy the benefits & portability of the caraffe.It makes great coffee & has nice styling.
