3.0 out of 5 stars Not bad, not great, October 31, 2006

By	Marie (Burlington, VT) - See all my reviews

We had this coffee maker for about 9 months, then it just stopped working halfway through a brew cycle. I could not find any other reviews for it online, so I'm not sure if this is typical or not.

What I liked about it: the thermal carafe kept the coffee hot for quite awhile as long as you take it off of the machine right after brewing so that the brew-through holes close up. It is easy to fill since the water resevoir is removable. I also like the look of it. It seems fairly sturdy, and it was very easy to pour (no spilling issues as I have read about other machines).

What I didn't like: The brew-through lid has small holes that the coffee, soap, and water get into and it is very hard to get out. You have to shake it very hard to get the liquid out, and I felt like I needed to rinse it repeatedly to be sure to get any residual soap out. The pot itself has a very small opening so you have to use a bottle brush. It also has a lip that makes it hard to fully empty.

I'm not sure if we will get another of the same or try something else. It seems like alot of the thermal pots have similar cleaning issues.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great coffeemaker, April 1, 2007

I had an old Black & Decker coffeemaker with a plastic carafe that worked very well, and bought this one when I dropped the carafe and chipped the top. This new one is even better and quicker to use. The cone shaped filter basket seems to need less coffee to make the same strength, and is easier to insert, remove and clean. The water tank conveniently lifts right out with easy to read marks to fill at the sink; no need for filling a separate jug and pouring in. And easy to use programmer for morning coffee.

3.0 out of 5 stars dissapointed, January 5, 2007

By	mystic painter (MYSTIC, CT United States) - See all my reviews

As noted elsewhere,the lid of this coffeemaker is impossible to clean...no matter how often you rinse and shake it out there is always trapped water. Also the pot dribbles condensation out of the small holes around the top while it sits on the counter. I have to keep a paper towel under it. The coffee pours slowly..the trade-off is that the pot keeps coffee hot for hours. I can't get the unit to brew strong enough coffee without using a lot more coffee than seems reasonable. On the plus side this unit is attractive and appears to be well built.
