ive had this for a month now and i absolutely love it. makes delicious coffee and is easy to use and clean. i dont know why people say the handle is fragile, that hasnt been the case for me. the whole thing fits nicely on top of a target cube storage unit. im obsessed with the color and get compliments all the time. one of my better purchases! :)
We have gone through our fair share of coffee makers like a Bunn, Keurig and French presses. It’s obviously not going to be as fast as a Bunn or as convenient as the Keurig but it was just what we wanted. It is easier to maintain than a French press but still produces a quality flavor and strong brew. It takes about 10 minutes to brew. It’s a simple design but much better quality than say a Mr. Coffee machine. Overall no complaints. I also appreciate the fact that the handle on the carafe is closed making it easier to wash.
I’ve used it every day for 6 months and it still looks brand new. Also great for camping!
I had this sitting in my cart for so long because I wasn’t sure if I would like it or use it enough. I am so glad I made the decision to buy it because I am absolutely in love with it and it’s one of the best purchases I made. So if you have yours just sitting in your cart, this is your sign to just buy it! It’s easy to use and you won’t be disappointed! The smaller one is perfect for just one person, unless you drink multiple cups a day, but it only means you will have to brew more for the next day which isn’t hard to do. I am a visual person, so I brought it upon myself to help others out with tape measurements. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!
I have used it every day for over a year, it is good value for money, however the glass is thin and the end chipped after a month or 2 and chipped again recently, I would have paid extra for thicker glass. The glass could have chipped in the dishwasher because it was thin, I purchased the "Bruntmor Universal Replacement beaker" and that is thicker glass. If you do replace the original you will probably need to loosen the screw on the handle to make it fit.
First of all, if you overfill the water reservoir a bit, to the top of the window, you will get almost five cups, or the standard 25 oz, of brewed coffee, or two 12 oz mugs. If you fill the reservoir to the recommended level, you will get four cups, or 20 oz. My biggest gripe is that the filter basket is too small. Currently I'm using a paper filter, I don't want to dump the grounds down the drain because I'm in a house, not apartment, and I'd have to deal with clogged drains myself. I'm using six scoops of ground coffee, I like strong, and sometimes the filter overfills and coffee grounds get in the cup. Because the basket is so small, the coffee maker senses when the the basket is filled with coffee and stops brewing, usually at the three cup level. The picture shows it stopping at the 4 cup point. It starts again and goes to four and stops again. Finally it starts again and finishes at about 5 cups if I filled to that point. The picture shows about 4 ½ cups of finished coffee when starting out filled with water as shown on the top of the page. I have to wait for the coffee to stop dripping because the valve leaks. I do like the coffee maker because it is small and compact but there are disadvantages to being small.
I really like my Bunn Coffee maker. Have used them for years. The carafe that came with my coffee maker is really strange. It only cover 1/2 of the pot and has like a split tongue to pour through. When the water goes into the carafe, if it is not place just perfectly under the spout, the coffee runs everywhere. I would give it 5 stars but because of this, I won't
I bought this coffee maker because it was more affordable than commercial models and made by an American company. I love its brew style, which keeps the water hot but below boiling, unlike many other machines that overheat and boil the water. The coffee tastes great, and the speed is impressive—as soon as I pour the water, coffee starts coming out within 2–3 seconds. However, I did run into some quality control issues. When I first ordered, I received a box full of coffee filters instead of the machine. Since there was no option for customer support, I had to return it and reorder. The second time, I finally received the coffee maker, but it arrived with a small chip at the bottom and a misaligned clip on the top right. While these defects don’t affect functionality and are barely noticeable, I expected better quality from a U.S.-made product. Despite these issues, the performance is excellent, and I’d buy this coffee maker again—though next time, I might order directly from BUNN’s official website in hopes of better quality control.
I searched long and hard and really relied on reviews when purchasing a new coffee machine. I’ve had a Cuisnart for years and assumed I would buy another. I also believe that the more claims a coffee machine had, the better. After spending a few weeks researching (I take my coffee very seriously), everyone recommended the Bella coffee machines but they were sold out everywhere. I finally found this one and decided to take a chance. I’m glad I did! Although it’s simple, it’s mighty. This just makes a good cup of joe. It’s simple, good coffee made simply, and wonderfully.
This worked fine until the little rubber washer popped off the filter basket and now the spring loaded spout dumps coffee. There is no phone that you can get a live person. Only email contact. No model number on box, product or directions. Very frustrating ! Bought this on the 17th February and broke this morning March 6.....I had to use a rubber washer from an old coffee maker I still had and it worked. Now I am trying to get them to send me a replacement......NOT HAPPY.......UPDATE- March 7 they told me they would replace the unit. Is all I asked for was a replacement washer but they have no parts in America and it probably cost as much as a new washer to get a whole new unit from China. No more American coffee makers, I guess. It will only take 6 weeks. I did find the model and series numbers on the bottom of the unit. Turn a coffee make upside down and all the water drips out.
Absolutely love this Nespresso machine. It is easy to use and taste amazing! I’ve had it for a few months now and highly recommend this model.
This is really cute! I love the stainless steel however it came broken and rusty from the bottom filter. My dad is disappointed and he was looking forward to this...

It worked great for all of 5 pots of coffee brewed at our campsite and then decided to spew coffee grounds and hot water out of the top and not brew anymore coffee. The first 2 pots brewed fine. The 3rd and 4th pots took an additional 10 minutes to brew and the 5th one only brewed 1/2 pot after 30 minutes of brewing. Then, it was no more. It's going to the coffee pot grave yard. Not worth the expense!!
If you're wondering what the possible longevity of a $20 coffee maker could be... I've had this one over a year and it still works great. Hot coffee, easy to use and clean, however the mug got this Lil crack in it a very long time ago. It doesn't bother me because I always pour into my travel mug. I bought this to have something that takes little counter space... to have until I decided on a fancier one. And it's been more than enough, I usually brew twice a day ...if not for coffee, then I use it for tea.
