Great, modern looking coffee. Easy to use and quiet. I was also really happy to see when unpacking the machine no styrofoam!!!! Well done starfrit! I believe it shows the quality of the product not using styrofoam, it's the cheap stuff that still uses it. Love my new coffee maker.
(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) I’ve just got this coffee maker recently to use at my cottage. So far it seems to do a good job, it’s easy to use, and makes a good cup of coffee. The only thing I’ve found is that there seems to be an issue where it’s not using all the water I put in it. I tried to make a full pot, and it stopped brewing after half a pot. I haven’t tried to really troubleshoot it yet, so it could be something I’m doing wrong.
Love this coffee machine! Not only does it have a great look it has great features. It comes with a measuring spoon and a reusable filter. Highly recomend!
There are 2 similar models -one has 4 buttons and one has 6 buttons. The mixup goes all the way down to the description in the STORE catalogue. When I bought this model it described being able to do more than it does. For example- this model advertised that it has the ability to program in different coffee strengths. This one doesn’t do that. After going on this site I see what happened. There is a similar 6 button model that DOES do that. It’s OK to me though. Having control over brew strength would have been a nice option but not necessary. You can make stronger coffee without buttons. I like that it is simple and straightforward. Half the coffee makers I have had in my life have had too many buttons and complicated program settings that I never used. I probably won’t even ever use the pre set feature on this one. I like that all I have to do is add ingredients and turn on 1 button. Nice. IMO, the provided coffee scoop is a tad too small and makes a weak cup if used. I replaced it with my old coffee scoop. Also, it would be easier to pour in the water if it had its own lid, separate from the coffee cone area. If you are not careful, you could get some cold water on the grinds. I would suggest pouring the water in first and THEN adding the filter and grinds. Other then that, it makes a good cup of coffee. I am satisfied.
Right out of the box my coffee maker was easy to set up and get coffee started! The machine also fit on my counter easily without taking up as much room as the old one. Great to use.
