Took a chance on this machine for $20...a disaster on every level. First off, there's some bizarre pre-use preparation step you have to take which takes 20 minutes. It leaks water everywhere, and (get this), by the time I was able to get it going 45 minutes later and bleed a cup of coffee out of this monstrosity, the machine turned off.

And never turned back on. No lights nothing. It doesn't work, and I argue whether it ever did.
Needless to say, this thing is on its way back to Amazon as I type.

We bought this machine six months ago because my husband loves the coffee from a Melitta maker, and this was the only one available at the time. If you can get past the strangely different set up and really like a lot of coffee quickly, I guess it sounds like a good idea. You end up having one tank full of water constantly heating, while adding cold water in the amount of coffee you want to brew (the added water then replaces the hot water used for brewing). Well, six months later, at one pot per day, it died a sudden death at 6 am in the morning. When dumping the very heavy water from the machine, clear crystal stuff came out as well. Not happy about the six month life span, constant heating of water, and who knows what the crystal stuff was. Just say no and look for something that's worth the money.

The coffee maker stopped brewing coffee in less than a month. Of course, Amazon made an exchange however I got called out of town and I am in Michigan and did not get a chance to return the defective pot. So, of course, being charged for another pot just makes the whole situation more annoying.

We purchased this machine at a Melitta factory store 2 months ago, and we have been disapponted with it. If the machine is accidentally unplugged, it does take about 15 minutes for the water to be heated. Even after doing so, the coffee made is not very hot and the warmer plate doesn't seem to help. One would think that the "quick brew" feature would mean the coffee would be nice and hot -- where the heating element is always on keeping the water hot, but that has not been our experience. I have to put the cup in the microwave to warm it up. It also isn't really any faster than other machines we've had where you just pour in the water and start the cycle. The taste of the coffee is OK, but we have had other machines that overall were better. I am looking for a new machine.

We had our coffee pot for less than one month. It quit working. My husband, who missed his coffee that morning, took the defective coffee pot and gently tossed it in the dumpster. Needless to say, I was unable to return it. If you are a serious coffee drinker - do not buy this coffee pot!

I ordered this to replace a Kenmore coffee maker that was taking forever to brew a pot of coffee be it 2 cups or 10. The promise of speed really attracted me to this model and I thought for $20 I'd try it out. This is a huge appliance that took up a lot of counter space and as another reviewer mentioned there are several steps to go thru before you can even brew coffee. It worked wonderfully for 2 days.....then all it brewed was cold coffee and the warming plate never warmed. The only reason this got 1 star is because Amazon will not let you give a product 0 stars. Save your money, time, and aggravation.

Well, was all excited to find something that brews as fast as the Bunn.

Bought one on Ebay for $29.99. If you want a fire, then buy this. It leaks from the bottom and ends up sitting in a pool of water.
Bummer!

This is one great coffee brewer,if you read all the information before starting this will help in future problems,i do drink lots of Kona and this is the greatest brewer i've ever used,i have read all the outher reviews and i must say to them, sorry there brewer had promlems...i must say again,do take your time on your first start-up and read all steps and you will get great results everytime.

I am not a big coffee drinker, but if you are this is a great brewer for you. I dont make coffee very often, so I wanted a fast coffee pot. This one is fast, but it stores the water at the correct temp, so it should be on all the time. If not left on to keep the water warm it takes quite a long time to get the water up to temp then brews the coffee. I am giveing it 4 stars because of speed, and if I were a serious coffee drinker this would be great, but I am an everyonce in a while coffee drinker. So this is not the coffee brewer for me.

I have been looking for a coffee pot to replace our old one for awhile now. Didn't want to spend alot but wanted coffee fast. I didn't want the clock and other settings and that was hard to find. Very simple. You swich the top from brew to fill, add water, put the pot back in and switch it back to brew. Gravity does the rest. It is very fast. The coffee comes out so hot that we don't even turn on the warmer for the morning pot. The only thing to consider is that it is a very tall coffee maker. You have to pull it out to add water and with the reservoir, the maker can be very heavy. This was resolved with felt feet. Would I buy it again even at a higher price......most certainly.
