4.0 out of 5 stars phenomenal taste, September 6, 2007

I had been using the manual plastic cone filter holder for many users and recently switched to the porcelain. There is a huge improvement in the taste, probably because the porcelain conducts heat better. It's also convenient to be able to put the cap on the carafe when the brewing is finished. The coffee stays warm for about 60 minutes or so.

Two complaints: the #4 filters are a bit too small; in some ways, the #6 filters work better. Also, there is only one hole, so brewing can be a bit slow sometimes, and there is occasional clogging which requires my adjusting the filter a bit.

But it does produce the best coffee I've ever had at home, a coffeehouse, or a restaurant. With coffee, lo-tech and old-school is the best way to go.

5.0 out of 5 stars Melitta Manual Coffee Maker, February 18, 2008

I was brought up on Melitta drip coffee makers and that's all I've used so you might say I have more than 65 years of experience with these. We used to take them on vacations because the coffee we made so far out-distanced other available percolated or coffee-maker generated coffee. My only disappointment is that the purveyor of these for Amazon charges much more money for the set than does the Melitta site on the Internet. How did that happen? So far I've always found Amazon to have the best prices for everything I purchased online.

I had my original white porcelain coffee pot for over 30 years. I accidently broke the lid to it this morning. I have tried the grind and brew coffee makers and other electric type brewing, but I continue to return to my porcelain melitta coffee pot. That's why I'm buying a new one tonight. Coffee brewed in this porcelain maual coffee maker tastes fresher and richer. I'm a busy, working woman and it doesn't take anytime to brew. I highly recommend this porcelain coffee maker.
