I do not like the beeping sound when brewing cycle is complete; it is a bit obnoxious in its tone and duration. Need option to turn it off if one chooses not to hear it. Carafe lid should be hinged but removable if one needs to.
I wanted a WHITE coffee pot that just makes coffee- this is almost exactly like the one I had before it and used for years- it is well-designed- clean- compact and easy to both use and clean- also reasonably priced- 5 stars!
Sometimes you just want a classic coffee maker that looks good on your kitchen counter. This is the one for us. Small footprint, big 12 cup pot. Easy to program, use, and clean.
Purchased this model to replace same one that quit working. Features are the same with some slight design modifications. This far, it's worked well. However, have a couple issues: 1) when adding water after brewing stops (my wife doesn't like her coffee as strong as me) it doesn't seem to continue brewing, or at least does so very slowly, unless you turn off and back on again and 2) the unit has already needed cleaning even though it's still very new. Our last one seemed to go much longer before it's first cleaning.
My only complaint is when using the carafe to fill the water reservoir, it tends to spill into the machine where the coffee grounds are meant to be. This, I believe, is because it’s impossible to get the last bit of water into the reservoir without some contortion. Other than that it’s a solid coffee maker!
Living at altitude it is unusual to have a cup of coffee hot enough right out of the pot. This one does a it. The brew temperature seems to be hot enough to bring out the flavor in the coffee. Easy to use and clean up.
Bought this coffeemaker to replace one almost exactly like it. Its predecessor served us well for over 25 years. I measured the old one (wanted same dimensions, as our counter space is limited), and this one fits perfectly. It is easy to use, and alerts me when it needs deep cleaning. Really love the side window which allows me to see exactly how much water is in the reservoir. Thank you for making a coffee pot that is not a cumbersome mess!
Makes good coffee and happy to have a preset timer! Don't like that i have to use a different type of coffee filter... which is much more expensive. It comes with a reusable "gold" filter but i find little coffee grounds coming thru in the pot and my cup when i use it. The space to pour water in is little too and hard to pour all the water in with out it going thru the filter and onto the hot plate... makes a mess. Also, make sure you fully close the lid or it will bubble over in the filter when percolating. One last thing is i don't like the way the lid on the coffee pot works. I am used to having one that you put your thumb on it and it pops up... this one you have to take it completely off and put it back on when filling it with water. So there you are...
