2.0 out of 5 stars I wanted to like this coffee maker..., January 6, 2011

This review is from: Saeco Easy Fill 10-Cup Automatic Drip Coffee Maker with Thermal Carafe, Stainless Steel (Kitchen)

I really wanted to like this coffee maker. We've tried several and thought this one was the answer but unfortunately, we need to keep looking.

The problems are:

1. Coffee produced is not that hot. I expected more, especially with a pre-heated carafe.
2. As someone else noted, the carafe will pour even in the "closed" position. This indicates an air leak-- something that will chill the coffee much more quickly.
3. Pour spout is not good and a lip overhang means that the last drop is virtually impossible to get out.
4. The indicator for the timer is very hard to see.
5. The water holder, while convenient to remove, is very hard to level. And, there is a hole in the tank to prevent over filling. Unfortunately, it means clean up of spilled water.
6. The handle was crooked (not a major issue but annoying to look at on a $129 coffee maker).

Made good coffee, especially in small batches, but lots of machines will do that. Shame it had too many flaws to overcome.

I have had this coffee maker for 1-month now, great easy fill and front load feature, but poor design with the pouring spout and not hot enough. I still have to put my coffee cup into the microwave to make it hotter. Do not recommend this product. However, our previous Saeco 8-cup white/stainless and porcelin pot we bought at Starbuck a few years ago, great coffee pot lasted us a good two years, simple with great features, user friendly. I am asking for return label and refund on the Saeco Easy Fill. Dissatisfied and Disappointed Saeco Easy Fill 10-Cup Automatic Drip Coffee Maker with Thermal Carafe, Stainless Steel

This review is from: Saeco Easy Fill 10-Cup Automatic Drip Coffee Maker with Thermal Carafe, Stainless Steel (Kitchen)

The only thing I like about this coffee maker is the pull-out feature. Now for the negatives: The filter basket handle will occasionally pop up while the hopper is inserted in the machine, making it difficult to pull the hopper back out. It's difficult to avoid hitting the hopper handle when putting the carafe into the machine. The display panel is lit only when the machine is on and is difficult to read. The timer icon is smaller than a pencil eraser and is very difficult to see. The carafe lid is cumbersome to open and close and, for reasons I don't fully understand, sometimes leaks coffee all over the counter while I'm pouring.

I've used it for a week. It's going back today.
