I don’t know why there is an eccentric circle on the bottom of the bottle. Won’t this cause crack if hot water is poured in it?
I purchased for our RV. First time using this pour over gadget . My husband likes instant coffee I’d prefer fresh coffee, this is perfect. I was worried it would be flimsy but it’s not. Love that it folds away and easy to clean: And being its in an RV I wanted to use coffee filters for easy cleanup not wanting coffee grinds going into my grey tank from rinsing out a metal coffee filter. I normally use course ground coffee for my percolator coffee pot but ran out so I used really fine coffee grounds that I found in my kitchen . I would recommend not using really fine coffee grounds, I did notice some grounds in my coffee. Not the pour over coffee cones fault more the coffee filter. Just a heads up. I’m very happy with this purchase.
Super easy setup! Easy to operate (replacing my old Keurig machine), no confusion… easy to clean and make coffee by single cup OR a carafe. Very quick and simple. Oh yeah, and my coffee tastes GREAT!
I had the Bonavita Connoisseur coffee maker for the past ten years and loved it. It recently gave out and I was happy to see that there was a new “upgraded” Enthusiast offering from Bonavita. Unfortunately nothing about this machine is an upgrade. 1) The removable reservoir leaks water nearly as soon as you attach it to the machine. 2) My old Connoisseur model’s hot plate would stay on for 1.5-2 hours. The Enthusiast stays on for about 30 minutes. 3) The plastic brew basket feels cheap especially for a machine at this price point. I’ll be returning this item and opting for a different brand. Based on this experience it seems the quality and design of products by Bonavita has fallen off a cliff.
I always thought making expressions was hard or time consuming. But this little machine is a breeze. I’ve only used it about 5 times so far, made pretty good cuppicino 4 of those times. Don’t know what happened on 3rd try (video) but it worked great after that. Will update!!
I love my little turquoise 4-cupper. She is perfect for my Coffee Bar on my white tray. The coffee is delicious and hubby and I each get two cups every morning. Very happy
Every time a pour the coffee into my cup it leaks! Every time.....no fail. The cap is put on correctly and secure so I don’t know why it does this. Drives me crazy!
This coffee maker is sooo awesome! We loved our kerurig single cup maker that we had for 5 years that we never had a problem with and kept using because the coffee tasted good, but we found we were having so much waste from the single K cups and the cost of the better quality coffee was getting so high lately in price. Also my husband wanted to have a carafe pot to make larger portions to fill his Yeti thermos he takes to work instead of using 4 K cups to fill it, But every carafe combo I found was big and really tall and you would have to pull it out to use it and we didn’t want to have to keep doing that. This model is awesome! The best of both world! The coffee taste really great! The water tank has a large handle to hold it when removing and comes off the side easily and has a charcoal filter in it to filter the water as it brews, the pot is a large 12 cup pot that is insulated and very durable. It doesn’t have a heater plate under it which we like because when there is one the coffee always taste burnt after a while sitting on the heat. This carafe Kees the coffee hot for a few hours and warm for a long time after. The program to brew is super easy to use. The single cup is super easy and it lifts on the top and still fits under our cabinets!! All the rest we would have to pull out from under the cabinets to get the K cup in. It is sleek and very attractive in our kitchen. My husband just loves it and I’m so happy how it looks in our kitchen. Only suggestion I have is run a full pot with just water through first before brewing any coffee, we didn’t and it had a strong plastics taste to it, we dumped that pot and immediately made another and it was fine after that. We also ordered a package of filters to change once a month, as it only comes with one. The refills are not expensive and it’s only one a month. We also bought reusable K cups with paper insert filters for single serve, it has lowered our amount of waste and lowered our budget on coffee supplies. Buying fresh ground coffee is so much less expensive while tasting so much better than most of the K cup singles and way more eco friendly. I highly recommend this coffee maker.
Loving the tasty hot coffee this sweet little pink Tastyle coffee maker produces! You can tell by the huge flavor that is brewed into your up to 14 oz cup that without measuring temperature but gauging by taste, this maker is on the money brewing at the perfect temperature to release all the complex flavors in the Starbucks ground dark beans that I am known to choose as my fave! I've been enjoying using k-cups with the adapter for the pods and really enamored with the ease of use and cleaning of the ground coffee adapter pod! The ground coffee pod works way better than any others I've tried in the past, not messy at all, very minute amount of coffee dust left in the brewer, easily wipes clean with paper towel. I like that this is not a complex machine, for instance, you are the one that determines the amount of water to put thru the machine, not a button selecting a choice. You manually add the amount of water to the reservoir, to the fill line that works for you, between 6 & 14 oz. Sometimes I brew coffee into a mug say 10 oz worth, and with same pod in place add additional 6l oz. of water to run thru to bring the coffee brewed to around 16 oz or so, to fill a big travel mug. I feel it's worth the minimal extra effort, as this little maker can be dried out between uses and cleans up quickly, mostly with a paper towel. I for one, find coffee maker reservoirs that are wet all the time a bit "gamey," if you follow, bacteria breeding grounds, so this works out better for my likes. This maker is a great machine for the money and is mostly quiet, except for a slight steam or gurgle noise, funny kind of! You can without a doubt grab and go with this pastel pink coffee maker, slide it right into a tote bag, back pack, portability at it's finest! This can also make you some cold brewed coffee, as much as I enjoy coffee, ice coffee is not on my agenda, don't care for it! But the option is on the machine should you wish to do some ice coffee up! The machine is quick and very good. This is absolutely ideal for gifting for one's dorm, small counterspace kitchen, boat, RV, campsite and on the run. A wonderful and smart & very enjoyable purchase of a whimsical looking and fantastic machine!
This coffee maker is not the best, but was a good price. As you can see in the photo, after the coffee is brewed and the cup removed, there is a spurt of air in which makes drips. The bottom plastic where the cup is placed is always coffee stained inside. So, it needs to be cleaned daily if you don’t want the look above. The coffee itself is just fine tasting and I like the fact that it is HOT. My other Kurig never made the coffee hot enough, even on the hottest setting. Sooo, definitely not the best, but it works :)
No crazy set up no extra parts just take it out of the box, plug it in and follow self clean instructions then brew! Super easy!
This is the first coffee maker I've ever owned. I used to brew my coffee in a stove-top percolator. After many years, I've finally decided to join the 20th century. This coffee maker is economical and makes some great coffee. I went with the thermal carafe because I didn't want to deal with burned coffee that stays on the warmer for hours. The thermal version still has a hot plate on the bottom, however, it's possible to set the coffee maker so that the plate turns off as soon as the brewing is complete. The thermal carafe is nice, but has at least one flaw. As many others have mentioned, the thermal carafe suffers from dribbling. It happens randomly when pouring with or without the lid in place. I have a feeling that this is due to the design of the spout itself. Whatever the case, fix this, and it would be perfect. Quick tip: once you've filled the coffee maker with water, swish some hot water in the carafe so that it will keep the coffee warm longer. The thermal carafe keeps my coffee warm for a good two and a half to three hours. Anything above that is pushing it and may require a quick zap in the microwave. Finding out how to set the program is easy enough. It's pretty simple to set it up for the morning each evening. Overall, I'm happy with this coffee maker. I took a gamble and bought a "used - like new" one from the coffeemakers.us.com Warehouse. It was in fine shape and has served me well in the year since I've owned it.
Completely disappointed but I guess this is what I get for ordering something that was already used
do you like extra flavor? unremovable plastic included in the gap of the filter. Extra chem flavor coffee for those of you fallout lovers
This was gifted to me, and i love it. I've used it so much that the filter has torn, where can i find a replacement?
