 awesome! November 26, 2008
I love this coffee maker! The glass insulated carafe keeps the coffee hot for hours--all day, in fact! I accidentally broke the glass inside of the carafe so I bought the newer model. BIG MISTAKE!!!The newer model has a stainless steel inside, not glass. It does not keep coffee hot for very long! If anyone knows where I can get a new carafe for the older model, do tell!
so far, so good! November 4, 2008
I am overall very pleased with this coffee maker, and would buy it again based on initial observations.
Once I put the new machine through its initial requisite three cycles for cleaning, I made my first pot of coffee using Melita No. 4 paper filter and increasing the coffee measurements about 25% because it looked light to me.
The brew was good and fast, but I think I would increase the grounds by 1/2 to get the depth of color and aroma I want.
Also, if one were to use a finer ground of coffee, (mine was regular grind) the brew would probably be darker.
Everything on the machine works the way the directions say, it is a great buy at the price, and I am happy with the small footprint and short height under the cabinet. Also it emits minimal steam from the top, so this is a nice plus.
Lastly, the complaints about having to "pre-heat" the carafe before brewing to make the coffee stay hot are silly; you have to wash the carafe between uses anyway, just leave it until right before you brew again - use really hot rinse water and you are good to go.
Like other reviewers, my only complaints are fairly minor:
the clock has no light and isn't visible in low light;
the base upon which the carafe sits is rather slippery, hard to seat the carafe neatly;
the travel mugs have lids that don't fully close - the drinking slot stays open all the time, making it easier to spill, and cools off faster;
the coffee maker requires filters, none are included, have to get them;
the interior of the carafe is a glass thermos, and therefore breakable.
[Knowing my husband, I'm immediately looking for a replacement carafe for when it breaks.]
I am wishing the travel mugs were more tightly-closable, and that the carafe were virtually unbreakable - stainless steel.
Otherwise a great, inexpensive machine that works terrific right out of the box.
It would be interesting to see if the "steel carafe" model of the same coffee maker is all steel or if it is also a glass-thermos interior.
I am shopping around for a similar shaped all steel carafe. Anyone know of any?
PERFECT! October 6, 2008
This is a great product! I love the option of making coffee in the to-go mugs or in the carafe. The carafe is low maintenance, easy to clean and pours without any spills. Making coffee has never been so clean and efficient.
great except for small caraf September 12, 2008
I have had this same pot with the stainless caraf and it keeps the coffee hot for hours on end. My only complaint is the little 8C caraf
 Convenient, but messy August 2, 2008

Coffee quality is fine. The "go" cups can be very convenient.
However, the base of the machine, where the carafe sits, is very slick with no indentations to help you seat the carafe properly. If the carafe is even slightly out of place, coffee will go EVERYWHERE. I've cleaned up after this thing more times than I can count.
The top of the carafe is also poorly designed for pouring, and drips and spills a great deal. I wouldn't buy this product again.
