what our customer say this product:

1. Fernando Alejandro Verified Buyer – 5 March 2024

   There is no short supply of options when it comes to coffeemakers, so I know that it can be difficult for any particular model to separate itself from the crowd. I cannot really say how good other comparable coffeemakers are, but I can say that this one gets the job done. I really like that it has a sleek design, it fits in well in what is otherwise a limited and crowded shelf space, and this is an important feature for me. I am not used to using the V-shaped coffee filter, but this one comes with a built-in filter so you do not need to buy additional disposable ones (will revisit this later). It is easy to set up, easy to clean, and while I do not use the programmable timing options, I appreciate that they are there. This does a good job of handling its responsibility of brewing you some coffee. The cover to the water container is removable, which I suppose allows for more angles to pour water from (though I would have preferred for the cover to be set on hinges, so it does not have to detach from the body, but in the end there are pros and cons to either design). That being said, I do have a couple complaints. For my tastes, this machine does not brew an adequately strong cup of coffee. The amount of coffee I use in my older 5-cup coffeemaker will not brew at the same strength in this model. It does have a cool feature where if you hit the little coffee bean button on the interface, it will brew the coffee stronger, but I still found the coffee a bit weak. We bought some V-shaped filters to use in addition to the built in filter as we thought the extra filter might slow down the process just enough for the brew to pick up more strength. I am not really sure if that worked to be honest… if it did, it did so nominally. Part of this is that we are still learning to get our ratios right on this machine, so I am sure we will eventually figure out the right amount, but at minimum I can say that it does require more coffee than my older model to achieve the same strength. It could be a feature of the V-shaped coffee filter design (my other model uses cup-shaped coffee filters), but I am not sure. My other complaint is that for my tastes, the coffee could be a bit hotter after brewing. That is not to say that it does not brew a hot cup of coffee, it does, its just that I am used to my previous coffeemaker that delivers it piping hot. But with this being said, I still like the coffeemaker. I think a lot of my hang ups have to do with getting to know a new model, and relearning the ratios in order to brew a cup that I enjoy. It has made good cups of coffee, its just now a matter of learning the water to coffee ground ratios needed to repeat it on a daily basis. I like having a 10-cup coffeemaker, and for larger gatherings its been a God-send. For now, we have been sticking to the 5-cup model for our personal cups, and the 10-cup model for parties, but that will change once we figure out how to make a good cup consistently. So in short, If you take the time to learn how to use the machine and get your ratios right, this is likely going to work well for you.

   This is a nice convenient programmable 10 cup coffee maker. The instructions are good and easy to follow. The unit keeps the coffee hot after brewing and automatically cuts off after 2 hours. The coffee maker has a LED touch screen and provides 2 strengths of brewing. It is very easy to clean and all the parts are dishwasher safe. The unit is not particularly solidly made. The plastic used in most of it’s construction is relatively thin. So far the coffee maker is function perfectly and is making good coffee but I’m a little concerned about the unit’s long term durability. Only time and regular usage will determine it’s future functionality. Damon M. Tatem

   This coffee maker looks great and brews good coffee. Setup and use is easy, and it will keep coffee hot for 2 hours on the warming plate. It can also do scheduled auto brewing, and you can remove the pot in the middle of brewing to pour coffee and it will automatically stop dripping. The glass the pot is made from seems a bit thin to me, but the last time I used a real coffee maker like this (not a Keurig) was well over 10 years ago, so that might just be due to modern materials and how they are made these days. I also like that it has a built in filter, so I don’t need to buy/use disposable paper ones. For a quick cup of coffee I still use my Keurig, but it’s really nice to be able to use this machine and make a full pot of coffee for company, or on off days, and just refill my mug as desired. My only complaint is that I haven’t found a way to make the warming plate stay on more than 2 hours, and I would sometimes prefer that it stay hot longer than that. But that is a small gripe, and overall it’s been a great machine so far.

   UPDATE: I see the seller has reduced the MSRP by $10, but I do not recommend buying this at all. I just removed a used full paper filter from the machine, threw it away and pulled out the big black plastic “cone” which houses it to wash it. I simply pulled it out, took a few steps to the sink and the little spring and plastic piece were no longer attached. I did not drop it or do anything abnormal. There is literally no way to reattach it, which renders this machine useless. Even if I had done something to cause it to fall off, which I didn’t, there is also no way of purchasing replacement parts for it. Stay away from this cheaply made, overpriced machine. 🙅‍♀️ I tried this coffee maker out right away. I usually use a Keurig and compostable (non-plastic) pods, but I thought it would be nice to keep a larger coffee maker for guests or when I want coffee that’s not available in a pod. It makes great coffee, especially using the “bold” button and I do like the touch controls (you simply touch them instead of pushing them), but the maker itself is made of cheap flimsy plastic. I noticed the mesh in the filter basket seems to be glued(?) to the plastic, which I guess makes sense because how else would it adhere to the plastic, but it’s kind of gross seeing that you are heating your coffee on glue, idk 🤷‍♀️ I will probably just use it with paper filters from now on. All in all it’s okay, but I don’t think it’s worth the price they are asking for it, which at the time of this review is $69.99 and offers a $20 coupon, so $49.99. There are nicer coffee makers for the same, if not lower price.

   This is a really pretty and nice sized coffee maker that makes a really hot cup of coffee! The tank in the back is easy to fill, and the carafe is a nice size and weight distribution in your hand when full. I like the mesh filter system so that you don’t need to keep filters around. Features like programming the brewing for the next morning, making the pot stronger, and the ability to pull the pot mid-brew to pour a cup, are all really nice and work well. There are instructions included to help de-mystify the buttons on the front and their functions. You may need a magnifying glass to read through them, but they are there. I have only two caveats that keep it from a full 5 star rating…the first is carafe replacement. I can’t find any replacement size that fits this coffee maker exactly, and that’s a bummer because I always like to have a spare one around for when one breaks. My other hesitation is the price point, which was $69 when I got this. Even with the $20 coupon that was available at the time, it’s a bit more expensive than I think is justified for something that isn’t a recognizable name brand that I can find replacement parts for. I’m still happy with the appliance and will be happy to enjoy beverages from it!

   I like the design of this coffee maker and the digital screen with the time. The biggest dislike is that it brewed kind of slow to me and that there’s no option to brew how many cups I want , I assume it goes off the amount of water you place in the coffee maker . I used twice both times it brewed 10 cups other than that it comes with a scoop spoon for your coffee and it’s simple to use .

   I will say that this coffee maker does make good coffee. I love the little touch button features, and it takes very little effort to program it. Setting the clock and the BREW timer is very simple. My favorite feature is that it doesn’t take but a few minutes to brew an entire pot of coffee. It actually works quicker than most coffee brewers which I have used. I cannot give this a five star review though because the coffee maker itself is very subpar as far as materials go.- it’s made of thin plastic and the basket does not appear to be one that’s going to last a very long time. I would probably recommend using paper filters. Overall, it’s an OK products but I think there are much better coffee makers out there at a comparable price.

   I typically prefer a French press but I wanted to get a coffee maker for when I have guests over so I can make coffee in a larger batch. This coffee maker is standard and does everything you need it to and has a sleek look to it. I am giving it 4 stars instead of 5 because the plastics parts of it do seem to be a bit on flimsier side. I intend to replace the reusable filter with a more durable one. I do like the easy/intuitive use and I like the bold setting that can be used to make a stronger brew simply by pressing the coffee bean button. The instructions it comes with are poorly written but easy to understand.
