   A Great price with very fast shipping, it is hard to program but it is a good basic coffee maker.

   Totally disappointed. I have had this machine for 5 months and the pictures describe my dissatisfaction. Rust on the carafe and pot. Sometimes hot coffee. If you have a problem, I hope you have a hands free phone so you can watch the grass grow trying to get through to customer service. They need to be accountable for the products.

   It has been a long time since I had to buy a coffee pot. Like decades!! So, I was very surprized at how expensive they’ve gotten. I’m not a coffee snob, but don’t like the gross coffee out of a vending machine either. This was the cheapest coffee pot on coffeemakers.us.com at time of purchase, 17.99. The digital display is bright and buttons are nice and solid. The way the basket full of coffee sets in the machine is odd. It sits solid when crafe is not in it, but once you push the pot in, it pops up a bit because of the hold feature to pour while brewing. I’ve used this for a week, and although I’ve half expected to come out of slumber land and find a huge, hot, steamy mess, but its worked fine. The way the ‘water-arm’ needs to be swung over the coffee grounds holder is odd. I can see that being a weak link. It brews a bit slow, but just set the timer a bit earlier than your wake-up time. For $18, I hope it lasts a year.

   We bought this to replace a coffeemaker that didn’t have auto shutoff. We had just bought the other coffeemaker for my son who is staying with us, and happened to think that it might be better to have the autoshutoff as he sometimes drinks coffee late into the night, and also gets up very early to go to work. That makes the programmable option very convenient.
   We haven’t tried the 4 cup button yet because my son always makes a full pot and any leftover goes into a thermos kept by the coffeemaker, but otherwise this coffeemaker works great.

   It sure is nice to have a fresh cup of coffee in the morning …..we have bought this brand for years and they have always worked so well and I liked that they DONT come with a ton of programs.. just make coffee. Our old coffee maker was pretty old so we figured it was time to get a new one yet 2 days after we ordered this one,the old one died! I checked out all the photos listed with this one but noticed it didn’t have one showing the water gauge. I’m left handed so like to know those things in the world made of right handers. So here’s a picture. It’s on the right hand side of the water tank but it’s really in an ok spot.

   Update 9/29/2020: We are getting rid of this product already. It is poorly designed. The carafe shifts when you pour, so if the handle is not aligned properly with the pour spout, the coffee spills everywhere. When washing it by hand, it slides easily and so you have to use special maneuvers to wash it – I know, you can put it in the dishwasher, but coffee brews better with gentle washing. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We just got this coffeemaker as a replacement for our prior coffee maker (Hamilton Beach – same company) under warranty. We had to choose a coffeemaker of equal or LESSER quality – this was lesser quality. The product information makes it sound like this maker has new and exciting features, but there’s nothing new here. I’m not sure why they have a button to make 1-4 cups of coffee when you can simply fill the coffee grounds and water “baskets” with enough coffee and water to make 1-4 cups. What is this button doing that is so great and special? Nothing………. The auto-stop, not auto-off, feature is not unique in any way – you take the pot off the burner while brewing a pot of coffee, and the water doesn’t drip until you replace it – every coffee maker I’ve used in the last decade does this. Nothing new here. It does have auto-off, and so far that seems to work fine. We find that the basket doesn’t fit into it’s position smoothly, and it takes some jostling to get it right. This isn’t really a big deal, but annoying since it takes a little more time than we like to get things going in the morning. Gotta get that first cup out quickly! At the end of the day, this coffee pot is fine; nothing new or exciting. This is of the most basic of basic coffee makers.

   I bought this as we needed a quick replacement pot. This works perfectly well. What others have said about getting a full 12 cup pot are accurate. We had to practice how much water to put in to get the number of cups the markings read. That “don’t fill above line” doesn’t work here if you want a full pot. My husband took to filling it up & gauging the water as he poured it in & that’s how we got a full pot. If you want 8 cups by carafe fill the water well to 10 or so. I’d read the prior reviews before buying so I was aware that was a bit of an issue so thanks to prior reviewers! Overall though, it’s a sufficient & adequate pot. Brews quickly, quietly & very hot.

   I love that I got this for less than $18.00! The price flucuates daily, so I just had to wait a week or two for it to drop (If you put it in your cart or “save for later” you will get notices at the top of your cart everyday about what items in your list have changed).That is cheaper than most regular, same sized coffee makers available.

   The programmable setting are easy and straight forward. It has been working exactly as it should. I’ve had it over a month now, using it every single day without issue. Great deal.

   Es un buen producto, para uso cotidiano, el principal material es plástico, es resistente aunque con el paso del tiempo las letras y el color de los botones se borran, se empaña un poco la pantalla del reloj cuando se prepara el café, es muy practica y hasta ahora sin problemas con el reloj y la programación del café, se debe de limpiar por lo menos una vez cada 15 o 20 días para evitar que se dañe, no incluye el filtro de café, es muy aceptable en relación calidad precio.

    After the fourth expensive, “prestige” label coffeemaker in 10 years bit the dust, I decided to change tactics. I had been buying really expensive machines with and without coffee grinders, thermos pots, etc. They always ended up leaking all over the countertop. This is not a good way to start your morning, especially since you haven’t yet had your coffee.

    This time I bought the cheapest (oops! I mean “”inexpensive” 🙂 machine I could find with a decent coffeemakers.us.com rating, and pour the coffee into a *separate* thermos pot. Voila! Delicious, piping hot, unburnt coffee with no coffee lakes on the counter! You can set the machine to start at the time you choose, but I like freshly ground beans so I don’t use it. It doesn’t take a huge amount of counter real estate, is easy to load with grounds and water, and has a clear water volume indicator. It makes great coffee that is hot without tasting scorched. It’s not beautiful, but it isn’t ugly either. And at this price I won’t mind replacing it if it stops working in 3-4 years.

    I received this item on 6 Sept 2016 and on 12 Sept I gave it a 4 star rating and commented “works fine”. On 8 Feb I went to use it and power light came on but heating element didn’t heat up and and it no longer works so now I give it the lowest rating possible. So buyer beware NO WARRANTY and after 5 months it is garbage!

    Me encanta que es lavable en lavaplatos. La canastilla porta filtro se remueve para poderla enjuagar. Es muy fácil de programar, un par de botoneros y queda lista. No hace 3 litros como dice el instructivo pero si son las 12 tazas (o 6 grandes) que marca el medidor de la jarra y depósito de agua. Un detalle que no tenía en mi cafetera anterior: el medidor del depósito si coincide con el de la jarra. Ya no tengo que tantearle para que se haga la cantidad de café que quiero.
