Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I am an ex-barista of four years, as I have left this role behind after I graduated college. Coffee I know well, and the brewing systems that go behind them also. Comma day was good this year, and so I decided to buy this brewing machine as pour-over is my preferred method for coffee. The machine in the photos looked lackluster; however, when the unit was built out of the box, it really is perfectly elegant. It's not as large as my old coffeemaker, and I chose the glass pitcher, as after the first cup is poured, the remnants hit my thermos for the office. This machine allows you to keep the warmer on from any amount of minutes from 0 to 120 minutes after brewing, which is spectacular as that burnt coffee taste begins to occur at about the 15-30 minute marker after it is brewed and on the warmer. It has the ability to brew the coffee at extra-hot, which again is perfect for us worker bees that never leave for the office without our thermos. This brewing machine comes with a filter basket that was made specifically for the unit, but is able to be taken out and used with #4 pour-over filter, I choose the latter, only as I prefer the coffee finely filtered with no sediment at the bottom, same as I expect from my wines. The coffee yielded very brightly flavored coffee, extremely hot, and the maker alerts you when you the pot is finished, as well as when the pot warmer turns off. Overall, the quality, the superb taste of the coffee, the additional features of being able to control the coffees temperature and warming pad, which help make lugging my coffee to the office easier, are all the reasons I recommend this machine. I will make sure to update this post if something happens to the brewer, but at the moment, I look forward to the next 5 years with this brewing-machine.
