Customer Reviews With Photos

I’ve had one of these previously and I don’t recall the caution list being written on the glass but it was my gf’s that she had for years so maybe it was rubbed off. I should have checked carefully, I just didn’t expect it. This lowers the aesthetic quality. I can’t imagine if every product had their cautions written on the product in a visible area. If this doesn’t bother you, it’s a decent product otherwise. Our old one lasted years until I broke it negligently. Mind you I had packed it to many camping trips and it always survived my brutish impatience. So it’s pretty resistant to stupidity (as you can tell by the printed caution instructions constantly reminding you that fire… hot…hurt hands..).

The 12 oz is very small. I guess I just thought it was supposed to be bigger. Very nice quality.

Love it, for perfect for what we wanted. Does everything it says very well. Coffee tastes great too.

Brand name drip coffee maker Small and compact, 5 cup Lightweight and easy to move around.

The absolute quality of the flavor of the coffee that this French press creates every day for me starts my day off well, I just love using this beautiful stainless steel creation to make my best coffee better than any coffee shop

This is great for those who like those who like a big cup in the morning or who make coffee for others. It does a terrific job filtering out the grinds with less soot at the bottom than others I’ve used. I double or even triple the recommended coffee-to-water ratio so I’m used to having a good deal of grit at the bottom. This is usually because of a less-than-adequate filtration system and/or spacing between the filter and the glass. However, this fits snug and the filter is excellent. It comes with three total filters and it worked really well. It produces great, robust coffee that is very nutty and bold. The one con is that the wooden handle is not very durable. It actually came broken in the box, which was disconcerting. I was able to repair it, though, and so far it has held up, but I would caution against overfilling or bumping as the handle doesn’t seem as sturdy or reliable to me.

I returned an expensive espresso maker because I find the Bambino to make better espresso more efficiently. Combine it with a good grinder (ex niche, df54, df64) and you can make high quality espresso. While I didn’t think I’d be using the automated frother I do because I can clean up during milk frothing. I can make an excellent cappuccino in minutes. Tip: get a bottomless portafilter, don’t use the low quality ones that comes with this.

Very disappointed. I ordered this for my niece and she received it on Friday, 9/6/19 and was so excited to use it. When she opened the box and pull out the carafe... The wooden ring / handle wrap was broken. It came broken!!! We don't expect products to be broker upon arrival or defective. We saw some reviews back in 2017 about this particular issue but thought that Mixpresso as a company would have used the reviews and feedback from the 2 years ago to better improve their products and put in some quality control. Or so we thought. Well apparently they didn't bother. Same issue. How irritating that they don't care. Anyone reading this - think twice before buying. They haven't done a thing to make it so that it didn't break so early on... or even in the production process or ask their supplier to improve.

I purchased this locally when I saw it in a store. I had to have the green one as I wanted to give it a try on vacation and was pleasantly surprised. We took this for use on our vacation instead of using the single serve coffee makers in the hotel rooms. The OXX worked great and makes excellent coffee and hot tea. It can even dispense filtered water for a nice cool drink. We even took this camping or glamping as we had electricity but it worked great there as well. We purchased the nylon carry case and I recommend this if your going to be moving it around like we did on vacation makes it way easier to handle and store extra coffee k-cups. Since we returned home we replace our regular coffee maker with this one, its been in service for about a year now and no issues we just change the filter every 90 days as recommended. If your tired of a plain ole looking coffee maker and want one with rugged looks and makes on heck of a hot cup of coffee/tea and can travel with you if needed...get this one you will not be dissapointed.

Love my new ice coffee maker. Only wished it came with some measurements for the amount of coffee to put into cylinder. I had to watch a video on YouTube to figure out the amount of coffee grounds to start with.

So, like you all ,I've been a coffeeholic for many years. Like you ,I've struggled to have a decent maker in my kitchen. I recently finished up with my Cuisinart mod#CHW-12. Had it for 5yrs. It got to point of no longer producing a well tasting cup. We did the Vinigar cleaning etc. So, i spent MANY hours searching online for a decent Maker. Problem was the abundance of poor reviews encompassing many manufacturers! It's now 2018 and we have trouble creating a Kit Coffee Brewer thats decent! I did a switch and desired a maker that will produce a single cup as wife n i both have coffee at different times and mostly need the one 16oz cup. In searching for the 12cup Carafe / or single cup Maker ,my choices became limited. Read the reviews and pulled the trigger on this. It's only been 1wk now but i can honestly state that it is the BEST maker I've ever used! I ran a full 12cup Carafe first off, thn dumped. Then did same for the single cup side. ( full 14oz). Then ran 12cups clean water through for both. Then did the Coffee that I'll drink. No issues. Had to play round wth the exact amount of grounds for the single side so to get the outcome i desired. Has clock, easy to pre prog., and, the single side will turn off when done. The Carafe side will stay on (hot plate) for 2hrs after brewing complete. You can simply press On/Off button to turn off anytime. For those who have an over-spilling issue with the grounds within the gold filter basket?, you are using TOO MANY grounds! The single side comes with a gold reusable filter which also encompasses two - Level markers. One is min and the other is Max. If you fill above the Max level, WELL, overflow of grounds will prob. occur. On the coffeemakers.us.com site you'll see the Reusable filter for the Carafe side in " frequently ordered with". I also ordered that as i don't like paper filters. It performs well. Water level for Carafe is helpful. It's towards the right rear, on the side. It's accurate. Brew time for 12 cups was good. I've learned to warm up my Mug when using single side as it is not as hot as Carafe as no hot plate for the Mug. I use single side to run water for tea as well. What would make this model perfect? If it sounded out a tone when brewing is complete. It also has No charcoal filter as with my Cuisinart. No biggie as i always have used filtered water to begin with. Coffee is better when there's no Chlorine in the H2O! Filling either the Carafe or single side is easy and Max level markers are visible enough to get it right. Carafe pours very well and i like that the Carafe lid stays attached as u simply press thumb to open but it's not required to pour. Single side grounds chamber pulls out easily. Single side has a bottom (under mug/cup) that reverses to then become a elevator to bring cup higher if you'd like. I brewed a cup at lowest level without any spill or splatter. It drips slow enough that i don't believe i need to elevate my mug. This model also looks fantastic, Beautiful! Has a "Bold" brew mode for both Carafe n Sing. The brewing is slower, so u gt a richer brew. Light on clock only on when unit is ON. Has seperate green light that indicates you are using "Program" mode. I don't use "Pods" but if i did the manual states that "Senseo" Pods will work. Note that unit will only brew one side at a time. It cannot brew both sides at once. Very pleased so far. If any issues I'll update here. P.s. if Manufacturer reads this, you may want to consider modifying so to have an end of brew audible tone! Jst a thought. Update!; 1/5/18. Jst did 2 Lg mugs for me ( nine- 8oz cups), using Carafe of course. Wife then needed to do her single 14oz using of course the Single serv side. When throwing the slide switch over to Single, it turns off the Carafe side. So, yeah, hot plate under Carafe is still hot, but, it's now off. So, in future, wife does her single, first, then i do Carafe. UPDATE ; 1/22/18- 3wks now and NO ISSUES! When removing coffee filled Carafe, absolutely no spilling onto hot plate. The spring loaded valve above, performing well. Reviewers having the Hot plate discoloration or burning may be turning unit on with a Hot plate thats dirty. I make sure plate is clean /dry before and after ea. use. I make sure bottom of Carafe is clean/ dry as well. Wife using single serve ea. day and says " best cup of Coffee ever"! Update; 4/17/21. NO issues, all still good. UPDATE!!! - 10/10/21- So, finally I'm now considering buying a new one of these as this one is intermittently not pumping enough water up and into Coffee basket. About 12× now in past 6mon's I've had to pour out Carafe into another cup, place Carafe back, then pour my Coffee,(that looks like Tea), into the grinds basket and do a Double Drip, sometimes twice to get color I wish. I got roughly 3.5 years out of this Maker. I guess that's good considering Everything's made in Cheapo China. If/when I buy a new one, I'll post back. Have a good Coffee! UPDATE: 11/14/21. So, I purchased this exact model once again on 10/12/21. After 1 month, I can honestly state that it's a great difference between original and new. New machine brews perfectly as did the original one up until the 3yr mark. No issues to report with this New Maker( Same model as first one). Pictures here are of 2nd maker,(2021).

This Braun coffee pot makes great tasting coffee. Keeps the coffee nice and hot. It is very easy to use.

I purchased this coffee maker about a month ago and couldn’t be happier. I had read some of the reviews and was a little concerned but went ahead with the purchase anyway. I couldn’t be more pleased with it. The brewing style keeps coffee from being “boiled” which gives it a smoother taste without all the coffee grinds collecting at the bottom of your pot. Coffee stays very hot for at least an hour. Only drawback is there is no pre-set timer but truth is it brews so quickly and perfectly that I didn’t even notice the need for one after using it a few times. It is more expensive than your average coffee maker but the design and function makes it worth the price. Highly recommend.

The cup is a good idea, but for the executed at this point. First of all cups leaks when tilted. Suspect it has to do with lid, not closing as tight as it needs to due to the plunge mechanism. Bottom is uneven. The cup is extremely wobbly and falls over all the time, base needs to be more flat. The french press mechanism actually works pretty well.

It seems like a nice drip brewer. I think the problems that some reviewers have with "watery coffee" is a result of the amount of water used. For example, my Philips HD7810 produced relatively small "cups" of coffee using 4 oz for 1 cup, 8 oz for two cups. The outside of the box for this Hamilton Beach says that it is for 8-12 ounce cups and "brews an 8 oz cup in less than 3 minutes". I don't know for sure if it is bad to use less than 8 ounces at a time. This is one example of how instructions would be useful.. It also would be good to have some instructions about cleaning/descaling. Some coffee maker manufacturers advise using vinegar for that purpose while others specifically warn against using vinegar in their machines. When I tried to get the instructions from the Hamilton Beach site I got a warning that the site contains harmful programs.
