I love this French Press! It is always worth it to invest in good quality products. This feels good, looks great, and makes outstanding coffee. I usually stick with drip coffee because I drink a large volume, but this is convincing me to switch over to French press. This thing keeps coffee hot for many hours, is easy to use, and is just a total joy. I've used the glass presses before and get annoyed at how often grounds wind up above the filter. This fits tighter and if you can deal with the slightly annoying sound of the metal scraping (I'll do anything for a cup of really good coffee!), you'll be super happy with this product. I had bought a percolator from these guys and found it to be wonderful (though I don't like the grounds that come out without using a filter) and wanted to try this too. I don't know which I'll bring camping next time, but probably the press, maybe both. They take a lot of pride in their products and I'll be on the lookout for what they do next. This one feels like something that will last for decades. It might not, but it is solid and works amazingly well.

I was able to make a pot of coffee but was extremely difficult to clean. It was also incapable of making a single cup in the k-cup feature as it overflowed got coffee EVERYWHERE! Absolutely would not recommend this coffee maker. HORRIBLE!

I love this coffee maker, but it might not be for everyone. Bear in mind, this is a single serve coffee maker. That means whatever you put in the tank is what you get in your mug. There's no button to select how many ounces you want, or any overflow tank. You pour in what you want, and then it brews that amount. For me, this is a huge advantage because I'm the only one in the family who drinks coffee, and I only have one cup a day at most. We had a much larger coffee maker which took up a lot of counter space, and that was very annoying. Now I don't have to worry about standing water left over in the holding tank. I get my one cup for the day and I'm done. I use the K-Cup, and it worked well. It also was fast, and the coffee tasted great. Now there's one setback that makes me take off a star. Like most coffee makers, this one will drip after it's done pouring. However, unlike most coffee makers, this one does not include a drip tray. That means when the coffee is done pouring, the maker will continue to drip, which likely will cause coffee to get on your counter. This is unfortunate as it would have been easy to add a drip tray. In fact, I'm currently looking for one to fit this machine that is 3 in by 2.5 in, because I like using this coffee maker so much. For the time being, I'm using a paper towel to collect the extra drips. A couple other things that I don't use. This coffee maker also comes with a container to use ground coffee if you prefer that. There also is a button for "over ice", but I'm honestly not sure what that does differently than the regular button, as the directions say you you need to add ice to your mug. Overall, if you're looking for a small, space saving single serve coffee maker, this is a good choice. Just be aware of the drips.

My espro press came with a dent and scatches that are prominent near the espro logo. Not sure why the espro press came looking used already. Due to the damage, I am uncertain if the product received was new or used.

This plug is not working for USA. It also take forever to make a coffee. Probably voltage in machine is not right for USA as well

Brewed hot water! Coffee grounds never even got wet. All they sell is total garbage anymore. Will be returning!

I fill the water to the fill line, but it has never uses all of the water. As you can see from the picture there is still a lot of tea that could be brewed. So I am making tea multiple times a day. I had another off brand very similar to this and I could fill it beyond the fill line almost filling the entire reservoir and it used all the water all the time. I would still be using it had the pitcher not broke.

I loved the color

Received this USED Nespresso it was so gross. I gifted this to my daughter in law. Felt so embarrassed when she sent me these pic and videos of how filthy it was and how disgusting it looked. This doesn’t even deserve 1 star but I had to put something to post this.

Best coffeemaker I’ve had in every respect, except that, like every one I’ve ever had, it has a coated or painted warming plate that will soon start to shed its finish and rust. I bought the one shown in my photos from coffeemakers.us.com just over two years ago. (The black flecks lying around the plate in one of the photos are bits of coating that came off when I last wiped it.) And the municipal tapwater I use both to brew with and to clean it is soft, lake water, and home-filtered for extra purity to boot. Over the years I’ve owned several Braun coffeemakers (and several of other brands), all bought new, and seen the warming plate coating on every single one begin to flake off within a year, allowing the plate to start rusting. In fact, that seems to be so of every drip coffeemaker I’ve ever seen; if it’s been in use for a while, its warming plate will be discolored with rust, no matter how clean it’s kept. Presumably, underneath the plates’ coating on all these machines there has been plain carbon steel. Yet, Braun uses stainless steel for much of this machine’s exterior—so far as I can tell, ferritic stainless for the sides and austenitic for the top. Why doesn’t it make the warming plate out of austenitic stainless too? Presumably, the plate is cut and formed from a sheet and doesn’t undergo much fabrication, and austenitic steel, after all, is freely available in sheet form. With its high chrome content, such a warming plate would probably stay free of rust under most conditions a home kitchen coffeemaker faces, at only a slightly higher total build cost. If it wished, Braun could still coat stainless warming plates the same as it does plain steel ones. Better, though, that it not do so, since that coating inevitably peels off in time, and in many cases it wouldn’t even have to bother, since this and many of its other coffeemaker models have stainless steel exteriors anyway. The same goes for other manufacturers’ coffeemakers. And, if austenitic steel won’t do the job, then duplex or, better, super duplex stainless are also sold in sheets, and they resist corrosion exceptionally well. Using either of them would still probably raise the whole machine’s marginal cost only modestly. But Braun and the other companies don’t do it. Haven’t they learned their lesson yet? I have long wondered about this, especially since stainless steel has become so common on household appliances and kitchen goods. After all, pots and pans, cooling racks, baking sheets, the liners of clothes washing and dishwashing machines, and the bodies of refrigerators, stoves, dishwashers, microwave ovens, range hoods, and so forth are today many or most of them made of stainless. Broil King, known for its gas grills, even makes a 300-watt food warming tray with a stainless surface. But coffeemaker warming plates languish in carbon steel instead, and they rust. Again, I don’t want to single Braun out for this shortcoming, which seems to be universal. It’s not just a matter of looks, either, for a rusty warming plate is said to transfer heat inefficiently. It’s unlikely that making the plate out of stainless instead of carbon steel would cause that same problem of reduced heat transfer, since there are many stainless teakettles. At least commercial coffeemakers, like Bunn’s, seem to have warming plates that are replaceable, but why should anyone have to replace the plate in the first place unless its electric coil fails? It’s as if the manufacturers are all trying to drive their customers to buy a new coffeemaker every couple of years, rather than accept one with unsightly patches of rust on its base. So, Braun, a market leader in quality coffeemaker design, ought to follow the model of, say, Apple, where Steve Jobs set the industry standard for smartphone manufacture at its outset when, knowing how easily plastic scuffs and scratches, he defied his subordinates to demand that Apple’s phone screens be made of glass. Other manufacturers followed suit with their own phones, and we’re all better off for it. Appliances, after all, ought to be built to last, and Braun knows that, because it’s designed this otherwise-excellent machine to signal the user for periodic cleaning cycles. Let Braun take the lead here and build their coffeemakers with an eye to durability in all respects. I love this one otherwise and expect to use it for many years. But the warming plate should not rust!

This has been my go to cold brew maker for four years now. For what it is, it does it very well. My only complaint is that the glass pitcher breaks a lot. It'll chip, and my most recent purchase lasted two months before it cracked… I'm gonna start buying something else, because it just gets very frustrating despite the price. I think over the last four years, I've purchased six of these due to breaking. The rubber footer on the bottom of the pitcher also falls out pretty easily, but that's not a big loss.

6 months and the steel filter broke. I’ve written to mfg asking for a replacement. We shall see

For the price you can't beat it but as mentioned before the heating chamber continuously cycles. Your red light turns off after brewing but it kicks back on every 10 min or so if you forget to switch it off. Besides that fire hazard I would definitely recommend:)

Well made and so easy to use. The jar fit in my refrigerator no problem. Made great ice coffee. Easy clean up.

I know these things are inherently fragile but the coffee is just so good. Craftsmanship and design are elegant and perfect for some good photos.
