I almost did not buy this product because of the reviews, but I did not believe that Consumers Report Magazine could be that wrong. This report stated that this product made excellent coffee due to the correct brewing temperature. That is exactly what the Kalorik does. After using it for several weeks now, I cannot support a single complaint against this product, except one. The pot is difficult to get back into the machine. Not because it fits too tightly as reported, but because the part that holds the coffee grounds sometimes prevents the pot from entering all the way. Another ridiculous complaint was that the opening was too small to pour the water. I do not have a clue what that was all about. I am a 78 year old man and I can pour a full pot of water into the machine without spilling a drop. There is two large openings on both sides of the machine. Go figure. Another statement was that the Kalorik belched out steam. I learned that hot water makes steam. It takes hot water to make good coffee, so if you do not want the steam, get a pot that does not heat the water and you will eliminate the steam problem. Again, I did not find the steam to be excessive and I have the coffee maker under the cupboards. The Kalorik is not pretty, but it makes an excellent cup of coffee. Like a woman, I will take quality over looks anytime.

In short, read between the lines when using customer reviews to help make your purchase.

4.0 out of 5 stars Quirky, But A Very Attractive, Functional Coffee Maker, April 3, 2009

This machine functions. Enthusiastically. I'm really happy with how quickly it operates. It's also a very striking coffee maker. The timer and clock, on/off button are very no-nonsense, with no learning curve, which I love, plus the water level is clearly visible. It is, however, really noisy towards the end of the brew cycle. The carafe fits extra snugly in the coffee maker housing; it takes slight practice to place it smoothly. It also has a heavy plastic feel and is a matte copper -color- only. I hope I'm paying a bit more for mechanical quality, because the exterior materials don't really reflect the price point. Still, overall, this machine goes great with my other copper countertop small appliances, is a very attractive machine, and functions exceptionally well. It's definitely a keeper, although I feel I'm definitely paying more for the couple extra cups of capacity plus the unusual look of this coffeemaker.

2.0 out of 5 stars Kalorik - good looking but poorly made, November 21, 2009

We bought the coffee maker at the end of July and it provided a little more than 90-days of coffee before dying. First the hotplate went cold, then it failed to make coffee. The last "K" in KALORIK fell off with the first cleaning. The fancy lettering (I was not pleased with the built-in bold brand advertisement)is attached with a silicone adhesive backing that can't be reapplied once it falls off. Other than that, while it worked, it provided pretty good coffee.
