Was a diehard pour over coffee fan for many years. Always believed that by controlling the water temperature, the grind and the pour time that you would get the best cup of coffee. Recently added cafe appliances to our kitchen and decided to give the coffee maker a try. Consider me opinion changed! On the gold setting, this makes just as great of a cup of coffee as a pour over. I still weigh and grind my own beans in a burr grinder, but now I just set the app and when I get up, the coffee is done! So easy!
I love the coffee pot, but the plastic is cracking. I really don’t understand why, it’s never been moved of the counter. This was an expensive coffee pot and we never expected something like this to happen.

I bought this in Feb 2022 in preparation for my new house. I removed it from the box and started using it in June 2022. Now Jan 2023, the plastic is cracking. I use it daily in the morning. It has never been moved around. I don’t understand why the plastic will fall apart. With a price like this, I expected it to be sturdy. It is very beautiful but I bought it with the hope I’ll use it for years. It looks like the crack is getting larger.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
