Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Design - Very nicely designed, the carafe has a nice wide handle and a *removable* flip up lid for easy cleaning in the sink OR in the microwave. (To correct what was reported by another review earlier..) The brew basket locks in place when closed on my unit and I have no problem removing the carafe full of coffee from the machine without accidentally opening the brew basket, so the other reviewer who implied a general flaw to the basket design is likely facing a flaw in their particular unit. The basket is removeable for cleaning as well.
Brew Time - What I'd expect, brewing starts as soon as the switch is flipped and within a few minutes you can "pause n serve" a cup, during pause and serve brew basket does not drip (so long as you replace the carafe in time to prevent the brew basket from overflowing)
Coffee -- It brews the coffee as you would expect,I have the brew strength dial set to the highiest level and at that setting the "Bustello" coffee I use is strong enough to put some pep in a tortoise' step! No test period was required, follow the instructions for cleaning the unit prior to first use, and the coffee is great from the first brew. My only gripe is days after mine arrived Amazon dropped the price from 18.99 to 14.95, oh well...it was an outstanding bargain at the price I paid, now it's an even better bargain at the new lower price.
Conclusion--
If you don't need a timer or clock function(which amazingly seems to add from 15 to 20 dollars to these units despite the technology costing cents to procure..) this coffee maker is great and if treated well should provide years of great coffee.
Easy 5 stars.
