Cute little coffee pot. Perfect for my small kitchen! I only drink one or possibly two cups of coffee in a day, so this 5-cup coffee pot is perfect for me. *it is very quiet whIle brewing and doesn’t make any slurping sounds.*
I ordered this to replace a similar Krups combo coffee/espresso maker that stopped making coffee after years of reliable service. It is a great combination coffee/espresso maker if you want to use both and are short of counter space. Unfortunately, as a remanufactured item, I had some issues with this particular item that could not be solved through a product exchange: The tip of the steamer nozzle was chromed onto the tube, which would prevent me from being able to remove the tip to clean it from clogs due to milk or water particulate, thereby rendering it useless for steaming milk. A replacement item came with the exact same problem. The company advised me to discard the items and promised a refund, though months later, I still have not received a credit.
It pretty amazing, except for 1 major design flaw. The steam/hot water wand doesn't move like espresso machines do. It's 3 inches above the counter. My wife used it to make tea. She spilled half of trying to get it out. And I don't know how it's possible to steam a pitcher of milk as pictured in the manual
Works great my only complaint is that the silicon rim that helps the lid stay on the glass portion can be a struggle to screw on.
I just received my Stagg X pour over system yesterday. I have the kettle, the Ode grinder and wanted to ckmplete my set. I’ve never had issues with previous Fellow purchases until now. I bought the Stagg EKG and Ode grinder at Williams Sonoma. But they didn’t have the pour over kit so I went to coffeemakers.us.com. The inside of the dripper has some paint in it. Now I’m concerned about the overall quality of the product, if such a visible blemish got through quality control. Has anyone experienced the same issues? Is this a Fellow issue or is it because I bought this on coffeemakers.us.com?
The first picture is a single cappuccino. The second picture is a double cappuccino this cup is a 16 ounce cup. You get about 2 ounces on a single and maybe 4 ounces on a double latte 10 ounces for a double yet I had to run it through three times to get 12 ounces, it doesn’t matter whether it’s single or double you still only get a few ounces at a time. I can just run it through three times to get a 12 ounce cup of coffee, but I should not have to for the price that I paid and according to the owners manual. The coffee is good once I run it through a cycle three times to get a 12 ounce cup
My coffee pot came with the water filtration disk but to be compatible the bottom of your filter basket should have the WF symbol and mine does not as you can see in my video. So be careful about that. The coffee maker works fine but it's just not WF compatible. I do like that it is easy to program for future brewing and the pause effect while brewing is quite nice as well.
Top broke and exploded in my hand. Used less than 25 times in a 6 month time period. Extremely dissatisfied and lucky it didn’t hit my eyes
Disclaimer: This machine is worth the price. If you stick to the instructions and regularly maintain the brewer - I can only heap praises towards the product and the crew who developed it. In four years of use, drinking a consistent cup of coffee or brewing for the household has never been easier. I do love this machine. I would recommend anyone to purchase it - ten times out of ten. What I don't love so much? The following: - References the photos - the plastic used on some of the most used items is inexcusably thin/cheap. For a machine so costly, this should not be the case. - I have reached once already for the coffee pot. The company did replace once with a disclaimer that they would not do it again. I'm disappointed in that response. - The coffee scooper is another disappointment. The plastic is too thin. It is designed not to last long or require a replacement. I have not reached out to the company for a replacement. I will and will update this review. - Both items failed after only a year's worth of normal usage. I would offer this would happen to anyone who uses this 4 - 5 times a week. Bottom line: Do I have regrets - no. This machine makes a consistent cup of coffee every time. I am not happy with the physical quality of the coffee pot or coffee scooper. Both pieces of equipment were either overlooked in the design process or where the company decided to intentionally cut costs - forcing customers to purchase those items from them directly.
I used this to make my hot chocolate
A few months ago at a new coffee shop my wife and I visited, I noticed they had a coffee siphon. We tried it and loved it. Ordered the Hario brand from coffeemakers.us.com since it had a number of good reviews. I am a home roaster and already have a couple of French Press systems, an AeroPress and a Chemex, in addition to my new coffee siphon. Each provides a different coffee experience. The coffee siphon produces a clean cup of coffee. I also purchased a Mini Butane Burner to use instead of the alcohol wick burner included with the coffee siphon. I bought the Yama brand and have been very satisfied with it. If you roast you own beans, Burman Coffee Traders has awesome choices of quality green beans. 15 months later- great tasting coffee and people enjoy watching it brew.
A good-looking compact espresso machine that won't take much space. Pros: Easy to use if you read the instructions Sturdy and stylish design The milk frother wand is a plus Cons: A bit loud like most Espresso machines are. Not all cups will fit underneath the tray
I love the putty color! It stands out from the ordinary black or white coffee pots out there! I have a matching tea kettle and a pair well together! This is an outstanding brand, very high end with an affordable price!
The good: • Large easy to fill water reservoir. • Bold flavor setting. • 5 ways to brew. • Fast brewing. • Easy to use control panel. • Carafe is hidden out of the way. • Lots of features with a small footprint. The not so good: • There is no 4oz or 6oz single serve setting. (There is a manual work around for this issue.) With the Hamilton Beach FlexBrew coffee maker, I can make coffee exactly the way I like it. The perfect brew for me is two tablespoons of coffee per 6oz of water and the bold setting selected. It is easy to accomplish this using the carafe, but the single serve does not have a 6oz setting. It is nice that the control panel shows how many ounces of water have been brewed so I can simply stop the single server brewing at 6oz. This method works great, and I really don’t mind watching it brew my coffee because it takes less than two minutes when using the single serve settings. The cup markings on the carafe are 6oz cups. The settings for the number of cups to brew is perfectly accurate so I can make coffee that tastes the same every time. I have been using reusable K-cup baskets with a paper filters for years and I can still use the same setup with this Hamilton Beach coffee maker. The included single serve ground coffee basket works great, and they are reasonably priced so having a few on hand is not expensive. Switching the water tank from the back to the side is easy enough but the instructions should say there are no tools required. It does look like two screws are holding it together, but they do not need to be removed to move the water tank. The instruction manual can be downloaded from the Hamilton Beach website. I appreciate not having to hang on to the paper copy. Overall, this is nice coffee maker. It certainly does what I need it to do for good tasting coffee.
Like other reviewers, I agree the ounces listed are exaggerated. I was able to safely fill the pot with 22-23 ounces. Anymore would cause a mess when the plunger was pushed down. Water stays hot for 20 min or more but be careful, the metal lid and plunger head will be hot and unsafe to touch with bare hands. When used within 5 min the lid is warm but not hot. Didn’t find double screens as advertised. Just one. Love the color Had it seven days and the paint is already scraping off the bottom. I hand wash it and air dry it. Frustrated
