I’m kind of shocked by all the negative reviews for this model. This was a replacement for my Keurig that died this past summer after four years of use. I didn’t want to spend a lot of money for a new one so I opted for this model. First off, I was definitely shocked when I took it out of the box by how light weight and cheaply made the machine was. Nothing like my previous model which was discontinued. The quality of Keurig machines has really gone down hill. With that being said, so far so good. I have not experienced any of the issues that other people have with this model. It does what it supposed to do and that’s all I can ask of it. I do like that the coffee is much hotter than my previous model. Hopefully I won’t have any issues with it in the future. On the bright side, it does look pretty on my counter. I like the white.
Ummm not good showed up box was smashed and coffee press was not in bubble wrap and also appears to have been used already has water spots on it and coffee grounds in it ewwwww
refund... broken piece inside coffee pot water tank
I really wanted to like this coffee maker. It has such a pretty industrial style, the packaging it comes in is littered with accolades and awards, suggesting a premium experience. The fact of the matter is that the build quality on this thing is profoundly shoddy. Looking at it online, it seems worth the price tag, but actually touching the thing you get the feeling that paying $50 bucks for it would be a ripoff. It's made mostly of light, thin, cheap-feeling plastic, and pieces lay on top of each other delicately instead of clicking into place at any sort tolerance. Bumping into the coffee maker causes the lid to clatter off, the filter basked to fall out, and the spout (which, bizarrely, is just barely held on by a rubber gasket) to tumble onto the floor. The glass pitcher scrapes into place with a deeply uncomfortable "fingers-on-a-chalkboard" crunch. Coffee filters tend to get sloshed over sideways, resulting in weak coffee. There are no features to speak of, nothing besides a toggle to turn it on and another toggle that seems to do nothing at all. The entire thing feels incredibly cheap to use, and I regret spending my money on it. Don't buy it!! Do some research and get a slightly uglier, much more effective coffee pot!
Looks great. Retro (50’s style) which is exactly what I was hoping for. Bought mine in red. Nice color (dull coral-red, slightly pinkish hue) with gold accents. Plastic DOES NOT look or feel cheap. It actually makes good coffee. Has 3 brew strength options. To me best setting is light or medium brew. Comes with filter basket or can also use regular paper filters. Only caveat is that the spout on the coffee pot is too short and sometimes drips/runs on the side when pouring coffee. Would buy again. Add: I have had this coffee maker for a year and a half now, and still going strong. Good quality.
I love coffee. I also love the convenience of the Keurig coffee pod system, but I gave it up a couple of years ago because of The Lorax, who speaks for the trees (not that coffee pods are made from trees). Since then, I have simply returned to brewing my daily 1.5 cups of coffee in a pot, which is why I decided to give this item a try. And it's not much of a stretch, because I already use these same Melita brand #4 filters in my current (Ninja) coffee maker. After unboxing the base, coffee filter holder (which fits like a tight puzzle piece into the base), sample pack with five #4 Melita filters, porcelain coffee canister, canister's wooden lid with seal, and porcelain pour-over container, I assembled the set and placed the water kettle on the stove to boil. In the meantime, I placed a filter into the pour-over container, added two heaping tablespoons of coffee, and grabbed my favorite coffee cup. Bad news: the pour-over container (poc) wouldn't set properly on the wide-mouth cup. Turns out, the poc only fits atop coffee cups with a diameter of about 2.25" to 3.0", so chose one of those. Next, I poured 1.5 cups of boiling water over the grounds slowly, taking care to allow the coffee/water mixture not to overflow the poc (this took about a minute). Finally, I removed the poc, dumped the grounds-filled filter and drank the coffee. Here's what I found: using the same amount of grounds, the coffee made with the pour over maker was weaker than that brewed in an electric coffee maker. I'm not sure about the exact difference between the electricity required to heat a pot of water to a boil versus that to brew a similarly sized pot of coffee, but I can't imagine it's large, neither, I'm pretty sure, is the time required for boiling much different than brewing. Ultimately, the question is, what advantage(s) does the pour-over system have over either brewing or using coffee pods. IMHO, both the pour-over and brewing systems are similar in time and energy use; however, the pour-over system results in weaker coffee using the same amount of grounds, which is a disadvantage. I also contend that the pour-over and brewed systems produce less landfill waste versus the pods, so they are both environmentally friendlier than the pods. In summary, the Melitta Artisan Porcelain Pour-Over Coffeemaker and Canister Set looks lovely, is more environmentally friendly than the coffee pod system, and is a quick and easy way to brew a cup of coffee; however, prospective customers should consider the cost-benefit ratio between this system and that of a traditional coffee pot before choosing one over the other.
I received this tea maker that was clearly used. The pitcher had water stains all over it right out of the box, the unit itself had what I can assume was tea stains although it really looked like mold. There was also some kind of white substance all over the cord. Clearly I returned but just wanted others thinking of ordering to be aware. Otherwise I think it would have worked well for what I was looking for but it did feel very very cheap. Not at all like the Mr. coffee brand one I’ve used for 20+ years.
Filter ripped open on the first brew. Spent next 10 mins cleaning the whole mess.
Our old Keurig finally broke after 6 years. We used it everyday and thought that was a great run. We bought this about 2 months ago because it seemed the closest to our old model. This model works however, everytime it turns on and warms up, it leaks water. If the drop tray is in to catch it, it isn't horrible but we use thermoses so we usually have that out to fit them. Then, the water runs everywhere, on the counter and down the cabinets. We are trying to get in the habit of remembering to put the tray back. We also noticed it is quite loud when brewing a cup of coffee, and the display is also more on the top of the Keurig which makes it harder to read unless you are above it. Our old Keurig had the display more on the front. Lastly, the top of the water reservoir just sits on top and the whole top has to be taken off to fill the water. Our old one had a hinged top you could flip up to add water. We are nervous about how long this Keurig is going to last since the leaking started straight out of the box and on top of that, a few design flaws make this newer model not as sleek and functional as our older model.
Brews quickly & stays hot as long as you keep the propane on. It also allows you to use both burners on your stove for cooking breakfast & now I don't have to delay starting breakfast until the coffee brews.
This brewed what is possibly the third best cup of coffee I’ve ever had. The two best cups of black coffee I ever had both came from Bunn thermally regulated machines (big bucks). This is the first non-regulated machine that almost made a cup of coffee without burning any of the oil. The burning of the coffee oil was minimal, I don’t think many people would detect it besides the few of us that enjoy black coffee and can tell when the oil is burnt. Overall it’s a really nice machine, it is compact, easy to operate, the carafe doesn’t dribble and seems to brew a really good cup of coffee. Although it is 2 to 4 times less expensive than all the other coffee makers I’ve ever owned, it out brews all of them except one (a Bunn). However at this price and simplicity you can’t go wrong. I have found that I get a nearly perfect cup of coffee if I refrigerate the carafe of water overnight before brewing. The only gripe I really have about the coffee maker is that the clock is difficult to read because it is not backlit and with the lighting in my kitchen there is a glare on the plastic covering the clock making it difficult to read. So forget the clock, forget setting it to turn on in the morning, and don’t think it’s going to make a chime to let you know it’s done. All those features don’t work or are impossible to see or don’t exist. Just enjoy a great cup of coffee from a quality $40 machine. On a side note, you should leave the top open when you are done brewing to let the moisture out and if by some chance, you pull the carafe out while brewing for too long the brew chamber can overfill with water and back up the coffee grounds into your sprayer. If this happens and you have a spray hose at your sink, turn it upside down, and wash it out. You may get some grounds circulated up through the sprayer for a while, but your coffee filter will keep them from going into your carafe. For those of you that want to taste a cup of coffee exactly like what you had in your favorite restaurant you can drop about $900 to fully outfit a Bunn 12950. To update, it is now April 2024 and the little coffee maker is still going strong, so I bought another one, because if you live in California It is against state law for manufacturers to sell replacement parts for small (residential appliances) so since I’ve had this unit unit since 2019 I figured I should buy another one before it is discontinued or heaven forbid, it possibly breaks. I discovered this obscure state law when my (Bunn) coffee makers heating element went out. I called the manufacture to purchase a replacement element, and they informed me as to California law and why they could not sell me the replacement part, they stated to me that appliances listed as (Commercial) can have replacement parts but not household.
My wife likes this coffee brewing machine probably more than I do. She says it looks a little more stylish than our previous brewer and it has several advantages. First, the water tank attached to the back holds about 36 ounces of water which would be 3 - 12 oz cups. Also, like most brewers it takes pods of loose ground coffee in a cup for brewing and it has settings for hot or cold brewing (which I haven't tried yet), and it has a "Bold" brew button I haven't tried yet so I will have to give an update when I do. I do know it will brew a good cup of coffee and you can somewhat control the strength of that cup by choosing to use more or less water with the touch of a button. It also has a magnetic attachment which will let you slide on and store pods on the side if you choose. We have chosen not to use that at this time because we store or pods and loose coffee in the cabinet above the brewer. Overall, we are happy.
Lo recibí con qie gusto para que llegue quebrada toda la parte inferior, dinero perdido
We have been boiling water on the stove and using a pour over for 5 years. The Moccamaster is pour over quality.
I LOVE this COMPACT and STYLISH coffee maker. It fits perfectly into the small corner of my counter and takes up barely any space. PLUS it gives me a fresh, tasty cup of coffee up to 14 oz. GREAT PRICE AND QUALITY. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!
