After reading reviews and chkg my wallet this was my choice ...I love the color combo that I got looks great in my kitchen. Coffee made super fast compared to my old Black & Decker! Pouring water in can be tricky but like the measuring on side. As mentioned the buzzer is loud..but not a long one.

This is perfect size for me and my partner. I love coffee so this one is very reasonable and looks really cute as it is small size. It’s easy to use, quality is pretty good for the price. Doesn’t take long to make a coffee. Good one !!

Muy buena Calor ya súper bien Solo q el chorrito de agua es bien finito Puede tupirse con facilidad 👍🫶🏻

I've been using this roaster for a while, 2 batches about every two weeks, roasting for espresso use, so a bit darker than what some may want. My roasts are usually 15-18 mins. My personal tips for use are: 1. I roast 200 grams of green coffee beans at a time. 2. I set temperature about 230 on the dial; you can use higher temp and roast faster, but I find that makes a less uniform roasting. 3. Make sure the arms are rotating clock-wise (if not, use a wooden utensil to block it momentarily so that it reverses direction); the outer/convex portion should be moving through the beans, not the curved/hooked/concave direction. I find this to better move the beans around for better roasting uniformity. 4. cock the lid so that the edge sits just below the two screws holding the metal arm inside the roasting area. This leave a small gap around the upper edge, and it lets the lighter chaff be pushed out. I use a small brush to push them off as the beans roast, then clean up when roasting is done. 5. Turn heat off a few mins before you are ready to cool the beans down. I then dump the beans into a large colander and swish/sway move beans around until they've cooled. The colander helps to cool and remove the remaining chaff (small bits of chaff remain, though very little.) This has worked well for me. If you want to roast for regular coffee, I would still aim for about 15 mins, just use a temperature to match your desired roast level.

In our family, cold and hot coffee are both appreciated. Our problem with cold brew was that our french press left grounds that had to be filtered out. The filtering process used a paper filter that takes the oils, and henceforth some of the flavor, out of the coffee. So we began looking for a solution. We had a Bean Envy Milk Frother (our 2nd one, Bean Envy happily replaced the first when it failed) and had just purchased a Pour-Over Drip Coffee Maker after getting such great customer service on the Milk Frother replacement. Along with customer service on the Milk Frother, the design and quality of the Pour-Over Drip Coffee Maker led us to "take a chance" on this cold brew coffee maker. As usual, it came packaged very well. Along with the cold brew coffee maker itself, the box contents included a nicely printed manual with instructions and suggestions, a thank you/registration card, and a how to contact customer service card. One thing I noticed is that all of our Bean Envy products don't just have generic cards in them, each card is specific to that product. A VERY nice touch in my opinion. The Cold Brew Coffee Maker didn't disappoint in design, quality, or innovation. The container itself is well-formed and feels like it's made out of thick enough glass that it will last a lifetime of normal use while not being so heavy that my wife's arm will get tired holding it. The bottom on the Coffee Maker is ingeniously easy to slip on and off, like their pour-over coffee maker. The filter is stainless steel and easy to clean while being able to keep the grounds out of the drinkable coffee (hint: if you're getting grounds in your coffee with this one, try grinding a little coarser. The filter really does work well). The top of the filter has a cap that seals the coffee maker quite nicely while it's "brewing". When you're done brewing, just pull out the filter and replace it with the included cover. Then empty the coffee grounds from the filter and clean it per Bean Envy's instructions. :) As you can see in our picture, the maker has coffee in it as the only time it doesn't is when it's getting cleaned out to make some more coffee. I can happily and comfortably recommend the Bean Envy 32 oz. Cold Brew Coffee Maker to anyone looking for one.

Ok, let's be clear: this is an espresso maker. It works with Nespresso-style original pods. It does NOT work with kurig style k-cups! It will NOT give you a full cup of coffee. The water tank is small (about 80 mL). It takes about 4-5 minutes for it to heat cold water and produce a cup of espresso. It comes with an excellent travel case, instructions, and adapters for ground espresso, nespresso original espresso pods or larger espresso pods. Since it's battery operated, it can be used anywhere without an electrical outlet- such as a car or park. It could be used while camping or hiking.

I love that I can make just one cup off coffee it's fast and convenient.

Europe! My Espresso purchase, the "SHANGSKY 6 Cup Electric Coffee Maker," stopped working after the first time. The coffee maker is turned on, but the coffee stopped coming through after the first attempt . The entire device remains cold and non-functional, with the exception of the red light when turned on. Used world to europe skross adapter…

I love this thing! I use it to make pour-over, French press, iced coffee, hot tea, and iced tea --all with the same brewer. I also love the clean up --take out the filter and rinse the brewer, easy. Also, no special filters needed --you can buy the #4 filters anywhere, I get them at my local Trader Joe's for cheap.

The Maestri House espresso machine is a great small appliance for coffee on the go. Ideal cases for this would be coffee in the office or maybe camping for a few days. The espresso machine can brew either pre ground coffee or Nespresso Classic pods. At home I use other high end coffee grinders and espresso machines, but for portability, I chose to use the Nespresso pods. The machine takes about 3-4 hours to charge completely. There are two methods of brewing, either with using pre heated water or letting the machine heat the water for you. Depending on the option you choose, this will impact the brew time as well as the overall battery. The instructions say that letting the machine heat up your coffee will give you about 2-3 brews before needing to charge. You get a few more if you use hot water. This is a nice option because if you are camping with a fire or in a place with easy access to hot water, you can use this machine several times. I personally wanted to see what it would be like from cold. The bottom of the machine is where you change the pod or ground coffee compartments. There is also a cup that is included that slides no the bottom. This cup is not only for drinking, but also necessary for brewing. Once the cartridge is changed to either pod or ground coffee, you actually stand the whole thing on the cup. There are grooves that alternate short and long and you use the short ones to actually prop up the machine onto the cup to allow space for brewing. You add water in the top, either cold or hot and you push one of the two buttons on the front. The top button will heat the water and the bottom will just brew the current water. When I used the heat setting, it took 5 minutes to heat up. There is a digital screen that shows you the heat progress and once it hit 198 degrees Fahrenheit, it started brewing. The brew process only took about a minute. Overall this is a great option for portable coffee. The one thing it is missing is some kind milk frother because let’s face it, in America, very few people actually drink just espresso coffee without any of the milk or sweeteners. That said, the machine works very well. Aside from its long charging times and limited use on charge, it still give you the ability to brew really nice coffee on the go.

Even thou I got it late and had to ask for a replacement I love my French press

I like the product and the handles are great (and mostly don't heat up). But I've now broken two of these in the last year in the exact same spot--once while removing it from the dishwasher and once while lightly banging it with another Chemex while cleaning them in the sink. Can't afford to be buying a new one every few months!

This Black & Decker coffee maker is undoubtedly the best coffee maker I have ever owned. The stainless steel carafe is a significant improvement over the standard glass carafes, and it effectively maintains the temperature of my coffee for several hours. Furthermore, the carafe is effortless to clean and exceptionally durable. Remarkably, this coffee maker includes a reusable coffee filter, making it both dishwasher safe and cost-effective as it eliminates the need for disposable paper filters. The robust brew function is highly effective and noticeably enhances the intensity of the coffee. The auto-start feature is ideal for early risers who appreciate the convenience of waking up to freshly brewed coffee. The design is aesthetically pleasing and seamlessly complements various kitchen decors, owing to its elegant black and stainless steel finish. In summary, this coffee maker encompasses all the desirable features, is user-friendly, and includes a stainless steel carafe and reusable filter. What more could one possibly desire? I wholeheartedly recommend this exceptional coffee maker.

TL:DR? This is an okay coffee maker, but it kind of needs to be babysat whilst brewing your coffee/water/tea to avoid any mishaps. The Compact: This came well packaged inside it’s box and is a very compact and sleek model. It has water fill lines on both the carafe (both sides) and brewer body. The carafe’s glass is crystal clear and pour spout is designed to eliminate/avoid dribbles. The lid easily pops open, but does not lock closed. Water must be poured slowly into the intake on the top to fill the water storage. Pouring too fast will cause it to overflow and spill. The filter tray pulls from the front then swings right and (when fully opened) can easily be removed by lifting up. Make sure not to remove the rubber stopper from its bottom. The carafe and lid and the removable filter tray are all dishwasher safe (top rack only). A single button will start the brewing and it can be programmed to brew automatically at any time of day. The cord is short and will require space near an outlet. This features a timer that will keep track (on schedule) of the time of day in AM and PM segments. The Boil & Brew: I’m new to coffee makers. I’ve had electric kettles before and dealt with instant coffee (for when I was fixing for myself), so this was a new exploration for me. You really do have to pour slowly which can make your arm a little tired (10 cups is a lot of water trickling in), but a little exercise never hurt anyone did it? Work for that cup of joy, right? Just kidding. Point is, it has a water “meter” on the side of the brewer and you can stop the brew at any point that strikes your fancy, so it’s possible to just make a few cups and keep some water in the tank (though sanitary reasons may feel differently). The instructions say that the coffee maker will shut off automatically after two (2) hours of finishing the brew, but I kind of ran into a problem with that. It doesn’t stop trying to make coffee. Even when the water tank is depleted it keeps trying to brew air which has resulted in a fine white mist wafting out of the back of the machine and a grinding noise inside. Naturally, I shut if off. I don’t know if this mist was simply steam and the grind was it settling down, but it was disturbing enough (and terrifying enough) to make me never do that again. As such, programming it seems a little counterproductive. Sure, I can fill it at night and it’ll start automatically in the morning, but then I have to tear running and screaming into the kitchen to make sure the tank doesn’t get completely dry…I guess in a sense it’s the perfect alarm. Smell coffee? Run. Hey, look, I’m out of bed. Fancy that. But still, in all seriousness, this doesn’t seem like it works well. After that “mist” (mysterious intimidating smoke thing) comes out, it smells like hot plastic…really, hot plastic. However, for a regular brew whilst you are toasting bagels in the kitchen and frying eggs, it’s not so bad. It brews well. Gives you that hot liquid you doth require. Works for making just water for tea drinkers and hot chocolate chuggers. I like that it keeps the time, but I’m less inclined to leave it in all day long. Fire hazards and all. +Pros: +Large capacity and compact design +Brews in about 5 to 20 minutes (depending on how many cups you’re doing) +Nice carafe (clearly marked and well made) +Programmable +Easy to start/turn on and off +Keeps the time and settings (even after being unplugged) +Some parts are dishwasher safe (carafe and lid, filter tray) -Cons: -Didn’t automatically shut off (started to become a fire hazard; got really hot when water tank reached zero) -Instructions aren’t fully clear on operation (may take some tinkering) -Carafe lid doesn’t lock in place (and may open when pouring) -More like a 10 cup capacity than 12 (as many others have stated) Overall, it’s okay, but definitely not grand. I don’t think I’ll be using the programming setting in the morning because of the “mist” problem, but it’s nice when I’m close by and working in the kitchen. The programmable part was the seller for me, so for me to not feel comfortable using it makes me not satisfied or willing to recommend it. However, it may work just dandy for you (I could have one that’s an oopsie). 3 out of 5 stars. Use cautiously.

I LOVE this!!!!! I have had the same Keurig for probably 10 years. Well I became obsessed with iced coffee and my old one obviously doesn't make that! I bought this and haven been to Starbucks or Dunkin donuts since. I got creative with my frother too and make my own sweet cream. It makes iced or hot, but I make iced mostly. It also is not big and bulky, so it doesn't take up a ton of space on my counter. I bought the white one and it has a nice pearly finish so it wipes off really easily!
