Customer Reviews for KitchenAid - 8-Cup Coffee Maker
Posted by: Anonymous
Verified Purchase:Yes
Makes good coffee but its difficult to clean. The coffee jug does not drain well requiring a lot of rinsing to remove any coffee grounds and also because it is difficult to dry because it doesn't drain completely
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Pros:
- Very easy to make a lot of coffee.
- Very quick.
- Can set it up the night before and then just use a smart powerpoint or other nest-type power device to turn it on from bed
- Looks pretty.

Cons:
- The cleanup takes a while - there's a fair bit more cleaning with this than other types of filter coffee makers.
- The included filter is not fine enough. The addition of the (also included) cloth filter that you wrap around the mesh filter seems to have been an afterthought. They should have just used a finer mesh filter to begin with. We find that we aren't happy with the coffee (it has a lot of residue/kind of muddy) at all unless we use the cloth filter.

As for the coffee it makes, I'd say that it is moderately good but not great. I prefer coffee made from my chemex or aeropress, but that takes a long time to do in any quantity and not what I want to be doing first thing on a weekday morning, and I also prefer the coffee from a Moccamaster, but the siphon brewer is much, much faster, so it scales better. I'd say the coffee from the Siphon brewer is more robust - closer to a long back from an espresso than the tea-style coffee you get from a pourover or slow drip filter.
I would recommend this to a friend!
