Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

We have a one-cup-at-a-time coffeemaker with which I have a couple of criticisms (not hot enough coming out, and woe be unto she who puts too fine a grind in the reusable pod — the water will go down to a trickle), so I wanted to try a different kind. This machine is bigger than I expected, for some reason, and I don’t drink a ton of coffee so I wondered if I should even keep it. I’m very glad I did. It makes a fine cup of coffee and keeps it nice and hot for as long as you need it. I can get up, have my coffee, and hubby can sleep in and still have hot coffee when HE gets up, with no additional effort from either of us. I also love that I can program it. We get up quite early for farm chores and work, and setting it up the night before is great. One less morning chore! We use the metal basket and there have been zero issues with coffee grinds escaping into the cup. Take the extra 30 seconds to soapy-sponge out the “ribs” at the bottom of the filter holder and the coffee residue will not build up. It brews quietly, and beeps quietly too. I can’t think of one negative thing about this machine so far. We’re using it every day and it works beautifully.
