Negatives first: It's hard to pour water into the water fill compartment as it is so close to the coffee filter and many times it may spill over. I think my old DeLonghi Thermal coffee maker does a better job of brewing a more flavorful pot. Positives: The Thermal carafe does a great job of keeping the coffee warm. I think it is because the bottom of the coffee maker heats up and keeps it warm while it is on. The thermal pot also does a great job. Coffee which is made 4 hours earlier is still nice and hot. It is easy to use, works efficiently. I always turn on the 1-4 cup brewing switch as it supposedly heats thee water faster and hotter. So far so good. No problems. Great value.
I bought this coffee maker because I wanted something that would brew right into a thermal carafe. This is almost perfect. I am an avid coffee drinker and I love it! The only thing I would change is the size of the carafe. I wish it was a 14 cup capacity. It's a little noisy, sounds a lot like the old percolators. This doesn't bother me. In fact I find it rather comforting, as it reminds me of warm times sharing coffee with my family growing up. It's easy to use and doesn't take up too much counter space. I would recommend this product.
I just bought this about a month or so ago. I have never had a coffeemaker that I like so much! Because it has a thermal pot, it shuts itself off after it's done brewing. Which is GREAT as I was always driving back home cuz I left the coffeepot on. Even the ones that turned off in 2 hours would burn the pot if there was too little coffee in it. Plus, the thermal pot keeps the coffee piping hot for hours on end, how nice to know I'm not wasting electricity in the meanwhile. Lastly, the coffee tastes as fresh on the last cup, several hours later, as the first cup. I'm assuming this is because it isn't sitting on a heater for hours. If you've never tried it, I HIGHLY recommend it! It's such a nice treat after a lifetime of the regular coffeemakers. The only disadvantage I've found is that because the coffeepot itself is airtight, it pours slower than a regular pot of coffee will pour. But heck, it's a couple extra seconds, definitely worth it, knowing that every cup is going to taste like it's freshly made! What a treat it is! Especially for midday company that pops over unexpectedly, I don't have to dump my coffee and make fresh. LOL, everyone thinks I have ESP that they're coming, that I always have it on hand, delicious, and ready to serve! :)Read full review
This coffee maker, of which we bought two, one for my wife's Columbian and one for my decaf, cannot be beat! It's easy to set and use. It is fast and really brings out the full flavor of the coffee. The metal carafe keeps the coffee hot for a long period of time and doesn't lose the freshness taste. We had a unit previously for over 10 years. It was dropped and was beyond repair, otherwise, we would still have it. You can't miss with this one!
All features of this coffee maker are outstanding. Brews good coffee and is easy to maintain. Attractive stainless steel exterior blends with the kitchen appliances.
