I have had the unfortunate luck of purchasing 2 of these coffee makers within a month of each other and they both stopped working from one day to the next. I keep my coffeemaker plugged in like all my other small appliances and use it every 2-3 days to brew 2-4 cups in the morning. I owned my previous coffeemaker from a different manufacturer for over 5 years - used it the exact same way with no issues. It’s a shame because it brews coffee well, is easy to clean and I like the additional features that come with it. Looking for a different brand.
I LOVE this coffeemaker! First of all, I love the colors and design. I also love that the coffee is HOT and delicious! There is a timer to start and stop, there is a setting for the temperature of the hot plate, the maker beeps when the coffee is done, and when it turns itself off. I am so glad that I bought this!
I have had to replace this coffee pot 3 times because of the heating plate chipping. Just received my 3rd replacement and it is chipping also!!! All within the last year. Never buying this brand again!
The coffee maker works extremely well and has improved features from prior models. It’s easier to pour the water without spilling yet that is still not perfect. The taste of the brew is excellent, it’s much hotter and remains hot longer. The machine is noisy and we live in a open loft space so if you need quiet brew, this isn’t ideal. The gold filter that was included is good, but it should come with a handle for easy removal. I’ve never had a gold filter without a movable handle, unless this was defective.
