Amazon Basics Programmable Coffeemaker with Carafe and Reusable Filter- Stainless Steel

what our customer say this product:

1. Jen Lynn Verified Buyer – 10 March 2024

   I don’t understand why it’s so hard to find a good coffee maker anymore but it is! I read a lot of negative reviews about it before I purchased. It is not at all loud so I don’t know what the review is about. It is light so when you push the pot back in it moves a little. So unless you have it right up against the wall like I do you will have to hold it. It’s fast enough brewing and the coffee taste great. You do get thick grainy coffee at the bottom. That is from using reusable mesh filters instead of paper filters. Which would happen with any reusable mesh filter. It has a little beep when it’s done and when it turns off. When I remove the pot as it’s still brewing everything works as it should. I love this coffee maker! It’s straight to the point perfect little coffee maker and it looks great! It’s a great size talking up the least amount of room possible for a full size coffee maker. It functions perfectly. I’m an so happy with this purchase.

   The coffee maker makes a great cup of coffee. Nice and hot! BUT, less than 90 days in daily use, the numbers on the carafe are mostly gone. So trying to figure out how many cups of water I’m adding is a guessing game

   If you are not a morning person and would prefer to prepare your coffee the night before that to make up earlier, I recommend getting a programmable coffee maker like this one. It is nice to wake to the smell of coffee brewing. This coffee brewer allows you to make as little as 2 cups of coffee and up to 12 cups. It is not difficult to use. Since you set the time, it can also serve as a clock in your kitchen. I also think the stainless steel looks nice. I generally have to buy a reusable filter when I get a new coffee maker, but this one came with one (cone shaped). That is a nice bonus. I also like how they made the part that holds the filter pop out for easy cleaning. If you get up at the same time every day, this coffee maker also remembers the time you set so you just have to press the program button. If you wake at slightly different times, it can be a little annoying to reset the time as you have to cycle through the numbers. So if it is set for 9:00 am and you want to set it for 8:45 am instead… you have to cycle the hour from 9 am, through all the pm hours and back to 8am. Then you have to cycle the minutes from 00 through 45. It’s a minor annoyance but if you hold down the button, it will cycle through them faster. My other slight annoyance is that the shape of the coffee pot results in having to tip it more than 90 degrees to get the last of the coffee and the lid starts flapping. Overall, this is a nice coffee pot and appears of good quality.

   I’m a homeschool mom and needed a coffee maker that was programmable and would make more than one cup at a time. We have had it for
   over a month and it works great. I really love how easy it is to clean!

   My only issue is that the hot plate doesn’t stay hot for very long, so if the coffee sits too long I have to microwave it. Not a big deal if you’re able to drink your coffee right away.
   

6. Honest Reviews because i’m sick of the fake ones Verified Buyer – 11 May 2024

   Poor quality coffee pot that I have grown to hate quickly. Always leaks when you pour – The design of the pot does not seem to be able to handle the simple pouring of a cup of coffee without spilling all over the counter top. Constantly leaks when you pull the pot out -This is dangerous, hot coffee continuing to brew because the shut off valve does not work. Shutting off every 2 hours is a pain. – You need a post filter to limit sediment. Loud, boy is it loud – it’s allowed pumping sound when it bruises a mystery to me. Slow, boy is it slow – I would advise that you not try to brew a fresh pot in between meetings if you’re working from home and on a time crunch.

   

7. Diane H. Verified Buyer – 18 May 2024

   While washing the brewer, 5. Product Description, Item K Anti-leak valve came out of Item B Filter Holder. Now valve won’t stay in the holder rendering the “Pour While Brewing” feature unusable! This is a very poor design! Thank you!

   

8. Leah Verified Buyer – 16 July 2024

   While it looks great and seems to work perfectly 95% of the time… I waited a Cpl months to write a review because I assumed it was user error.. but it has just leaked everywhere out of nowhere for the 4th time. I use it daily. Sometimes more than once. On the timer (timer works great!) or by manual start sometimes. It has only leaked everywhere during brewing cycle 4 times out of maybe 100 brews.. but still.. it’s brand new. I tinkered with the positioning of the baskets, made sure everything was snapped, clean and snug, I only fill the coffee basket about half full and the water tank about half full (meaning 6-8 cups per brew- it’s a 12 cup machine) but every once in a while I walk into a mess! I really wanted to love it but I’ll be ordering something else to replace it unfortunately.

   

9. Westworld Verified Buyer – 7 August 2024

   The coffee maker works fairly well, it brews a decent cup of coffee. It is easy to use and pretty easy to clean. The reusable filter… like all reusable coffee filters, still needs an actual coffee filter to be used with it unless you want fine grounds in the bottom of your cup. I put a regular filter under the reusable one, and as you can see in my picture, there is a noticeable amount of coffee grounds that get through the reusable filter. In addition to that, the clock part is a little weirdly sized, it seems a little too big for the hole it fits into, so the edges of the numbers are almost covered unless you look at it directly straight on. The pot pours pretty nicely, but fits into the machine quite snugly, so you have to be careful pulling it out or you can pull the whole machine off of the counter. That being said, only one of the feet on the bottom of the machine has a rubber foot in it, so it slides around very easily. It should have the rubber pad on all of the feet to keep it from sliding around. Overall, it does what you need it to do, but it could have been designed better.

   

10. Rachel Oden Verified Buyer – 10 August 2024

    Do you enjoy being woken up by the world’s loudest coffee maker? Do you have so many paper towels that you are finding ways to use them all up like wiping up coffee drips EVERY TIME you pour a cup of coffee? Do you like the idea of coffee grounds floating around in the pot, making your morning cup of joe a crunchy delight? Then this may be the pot for you, but not me. I hate it. It’s so loud that it wakes me up FROM UPSTAIRS. It sounds like water is dripping out of the pot and onto the hot plate making loud sizzling, popping sounds. The coffee pot itself seems to be designed to spill. I’m a grown adult and I promise you I have poured many a cup of coffee without spilling a drop. To even have a chance of pouring without spilling from this pot you have to raise the pot at least 6 inches above your cup and slightly raise the coffee pot lid. I think maybe if you spin 3 times, kiss your fingers, and shout a positive affirmation into the universe, maybe you would have even better odds of not spilling your coffee. Unfortunately I was not able to keep experimenting with spill-less coffee pouring techniques because yesterday the dam coffee maker broke while we were cleaning out the grounds. Speaking of the grounds… they always end up floating around the pot of coffee!! I don’t use more grounds than the average person (3 scoops for a full pot) and yet they always end up in the pot and therefore in my cup. Why?!! Did they literally design this to be the worse coffee maker ever?! Was this the plan?!! My mil bought us this coffee maker because ours didn’t have the ability to auto make coffee in the morning. Honestly I’m fairly happy that the coffeemakers.us.com basics coffee maker broke last night. The pause and pour part decided it had paused long enough and shot apart across the kitchen. We cannot even find one of the pieces. Making coffee without that part made it spray coffee down the sides of the pot, sizzling and smoking all the way. Thank goodness I didn’t get rid of my tried, true, and trusty simply perfect coffee pot that has lasted 3 years. I am finally enjoying my morning joe without extra cleanup time again. And look, I even had enough time this morning to write this long review about how much I hate the coffeemakers.us.com basics coffee pot 😂 So yeah, 0/10 do not recommend this coffee pot. The auto maker part does not make it worth it.

    This coffee maker looks good and makes great Hot coffee but the clock is completely unreadable and the buttons do not work to set the clock.
    

12. Mere Verified Buyer – 20 December 2024

    Tuve que devolverla porque literal al primer uso se le salio la válvula anti fuga y no hubo manera de ponérsela… al reportar el incidente con coffeemakers.us.com me facilitaron la devolución, pues me generaron la guía para la devolución por paqueteria y fueron a recogerla a casa sin que me causará gasto o tiempo perdido, bien por coffeemakers.us.com 👍 mal por la cafetera👎👎 me había gustado mucho.🥺🥺🥺😭😭😭🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

    It is a week old and has already fallen apart.

    

14. Daniel Craver Verified Buyer – 6 January 2025

    Great value for the money. Easy set up and works as advertised. It also feels well make, if that makes any sense. Sometimes when you handle something it just feels well made.
    

15. Diana Solares Verified Buyer – 16 January 2025

    La puedes programar para tener tu cafecito listo en la mañana y también porque se apaga solita después de dos horas.
    

16. Mara Davila Verified Buyer – 24 January 2025

    Llego a tiempo. Excelente empaque. Y hace un rico café.

    

17. amber Verified Buyer – 24 January 2025

    Okay so it’s a decent coffee pot for $35 will start with that however it has a internal timer on how long the on switch can remain on which can become very aggravating if you’re not a morning person and you’re just aiming for coffee to wake up and you go over to the coffee pot to re-up your coffee mug and the coffee pot will turn off itself and then you have to turn around and turn it back on hoping that your coffee is still hot. Some of these reviews put on here it requires a filter because the filter that’s installed in it will have coffee grounds go when your coffee I personally and over a year have not had that situation happened to me and I like the reusable filter tray that’s in coffee pots saves you a dollar from having to buy the paper. The only complaint that you’ll truly have but have to continuously keep in mind that you paid $35 for it, is the fact that it turns itself off hate that part..

    Received machine,plugged it in and clock doesn’t light up. Is almost worthless without display being visible. $63 basically wasted

    

19. joanne kingsbury Verified Buyer – 17 February 2025

    Love the looks of this coffee pot fits well on my counter added a pad under it to help with sliding, great price, great look, BUT not a good taste. I did run it with just water 3x & have made 4 pots of coffee so far and it still taste like plastic I have read all reviews did not see anything about bad taste, I did however see some on overheating. This maybe the problem there is a smell of burning plastic. I will be calling coffeemakers.us.com……. UPDATE…….With no problem, coffeemakers.us.com gave me a refund I ordered the same coffee pot (because I love the look) I wanted to give it a second chance & I am so glad I did Works GREAT & NO plastic smell or taste THANK YOU coffeemakers.us.com

    

20. Jim Helyer Verified Buyer – 17 February 2025

    This is a good little coffee maker with a small footprint. My only complaint is the spout on the pot is turned for right handed people. I’m a lefty. If I forget and use my left hand to pour, it spills coffee.

    

21. sandra h. Verified Buyer – 18 February 2025

    Cannot program to brew Clock will not work. Bought as a gift. Very dissatisfied. Do not recommend.

    

22. vikki Verified Buyer – 23 February 2025

23. I love it it is so much Verified Buyer – 25 February 2025

    It works great

    

24. Jenny Blanchard Verified Buyer – 1 March 2025

    Exactly as described, the auto-brew feature is a must in a coffee pot for my family. Works great and its easy to use.
    

25. TL Verified Buyer – 2 March 2025

    It worked as it should and was great for the price. The pot broke very easily by just being bumped a week after purchase.
    

26. Aaron Verified Buyer – 4 March 2025

    In the beginning all sees to e great with this. It came with all the parts you need, its programmable, and it has an auto shut off. All good right. Nope The first thing that was weird was wen measuring out the coffee and water based on the numbers on the carafe and water tank my coffee always came out either too strong or to watery. So i used a graduated mason jar ad realized the numbers on the carafe don’t match up to Ounces, Cups, or milliliter/Liters. I mean the I have no clue why the numbers are even there. They don’t correspond with anything. So i start using my mason jar and getting the mixtures of coffee and water right then things started breaking. Also i have to double filter with coffees or I get grounds in the carafe. The first thing to break was the coffee scoop that came with it it broke at the bend where the handle turns into the scoop. Then when taking the filter holder out the stopper broke off and flew across the room because of the spring. So now the stopper that prevents drips when the carafe is out is broken. So now the anti-drip feature is gone. This is the worst product I’ve ever gotten from coffeemakers.us.com Basics and normally their stuff is great.

    

27. Anonymous Verified Buyer – 8 March 2025

    Made one pot of 10 cups, the plastic snapped the glass craf before i could pour a cup. No support on the top of the glass like the bottom. Do not buy.

    

28. Will Verified Buyer – 8 March 2025

    coffee machine stopped working too much after I got it I’m on gas stay with the name brands and coffeemakers.us.com basic is not one of those!!

    

29. Kleinert Verified Buyer – 9 March 2025

    The small reservoir to pour the water into combined with the poor design of the coffee pot spout requires a lot of thing to go just right in the morning in order to not poor water on the counter. I wish it the machine would break so I would have an excuse to buy a new one, but it does make ok coffee.

    

30. Steve H. Verified Buyer – 9 March 2025

    Good price for a good coffee maker.
    

31. Orlando G. Verified Buyer – 9 March 2025

    muy buen producto. al momento de salir el café. sale con la temperatura perfecta para tomar
    

32. Karina Gyer Verified Buyer – 23 March 2025

    3 months after review. I purchased a few top quality, high priced coffee makers, this one meets the expectation and saves you a ton of money. The programming is easy to set, love waking up to the smell of a coffee aroma.

    

33. Melagai Verified Buyer – 2 April 2025

    Wanted a pot that fit on my counter as my old one was too big. This one is perfect. Another plus is the pot actually pours the coffee into my cup when my old one always spilled over the sides and made a big mess.
    

34. JL Verified Buyer – 4 April 2025

    Exceptionally Good Coffee maker. BUT don’t break the carafe. I would have given a 5 star review, but I can not get a replacement carafe that works. I ordered this coffee maker in April of 2023. Unfornatunately we broke the carafe this month. I ordered replacement carafe, but it does not fit. See photos. you get 3 different DOMES 3 but they are not high enough to make the coffee pot work without the coffee spilling all over the counter and floor. so disappointed, we loved the coffee pot now it is useless and I have to buy a new one.

    

35. Tamra friss Verified Buyer – 4 April 2025

    I’ve used this coffee pot since Christmas and it’s already broke. I am quite honestly SCARED for people buying this for how thin the coffee pot that holds scolding hot coffee is…. I’m thankful it didn’t break and spill hot coffee on my skin or one of my beloved fur babies….BAD PRODUCT!

    

36. K K Schwartz Verified Buyer – 5 April 2025

    This coffee maker is every bit as good as the name brands. I’ve used it regularly over the past month and it has worked consistently to produce good flavored coffee. It’s programmable and I like getting up in the morning having fresh coffee ready. The instructions are easy to read and follow, so there are no issues there. On the side of the coffee maker is a see-through area so you can determine the water level. This helps with measuring ground coffee for coffee/water ratio. I’ve been using 3 heaping scoops of coffee to 8 cups of water for the perfect strength for us. A coffee scoop normally equals 2 tablespoons. The coffee maker has a reusable filter…it will get stained over time…or you can also add a paper filter, if that is your preference. I wash the pot, filter and filter holder in the dishwasher for easy cleanup. I’ve used this coffeemakers.us.com Basics Coffee Maker long enough that I feel confident in assigning it 5 stars.

    

37. Karen Reed Verified Buyer – 6 April 2025

    Disappointed in the shipping and appears to be used with no original box and no manual. The programmer is not working.

    

38. David Verified Buyer – 7 April 2025

    It was okay but you can’t see the clock good and need to be brighter you can’t see it at all hardly
    

39. Giovanni Enriquez Verified Buyer – 9 April 2025

    Me gustó mucho el diseño ya que la jarra es grande y puede ser usada para familias que toman mucho café (como en casa).
    Después de dos años y meses de uso, la cafetera tarda en hacer café al rededor de una hora. Si bien se que algunos productos tienen obsolescencia programada, este exageró. Y si, le hice sus limpiezas tanto con limpiadores especializados en cafeteras como con el uso de vinagre y agua.
    No recomiendo este producto por defectuoso.
