I actually purchased this coffeemaker a local KHOLS store that was closing. It has turned out to be the best coffeemaker we have ever owned.
It's got some great features such as a bold brew setting and a special 1-4 cup mode even though it has triple the capacity. It's has a charcoal filter so I can use tap water to fill it rather than the refrigerator water filter which takes much longer. Our old unit didn't have a timer and this one does. It also looks great with a stainless steel finish like the rest of our kitchen appliances.
Lastly, and most importantly, the coffee tastes great. The next kitchen gadget I need to buy is a coffee bean grinder so I can freshly grind beans when preparing coffee.
I bought this coffee maker about 3 weeks ago and I have been pleased for the most part. I am perplexed that when it is finished brewing, the grounds are very very wet and removing them is often messy. This is after the machine has signaled it was completely done brewing.
I'm disappointed with how the coffee tastes when brewing with this machine. I was looking for a replacement for my Nespresso coffee maker, unfortunately it's not this machine...
I recently purchased this coffee maker to replace an older percolator. This is an excellent product. The coffee is perfect every time. It is very easy to program or just use manually. The settings are easy and intuitive. I am using paper filters as I find this keeps the grounds out of the coffee perfectly whereas the metal coffee filter does not keep out all grounds. Coffee stays hot for as long as the element is on. The temperature is perfect as we like hot coffee.
