I suspect that many of this item's good or great reviews came within a month or two of purchase, as it seems to work well -- until it breaks.

Original review:This little coffee maker worked great for about a year and then abruptly stopped doing anything when I turned it on

I really do not understand the negative reviews.

If it breaks (which seems to be a common complaint) then I'll update this review.

I seldom give a negative review, but I don't feel that this is safe for me to use, in my opinion

I purchased this with reservations as I had read quite a few negative reviews, and I should have listened to my gut.

My take on this unit is that the mfg needs to improve its internal quality, because the unit either works and you love it, or, it simply stops working within 3 months (and I can't blame anyone for a bad review if this happens !!

I give a good review to this for the first one I purchased and my dad accidentally threw away the

Told him I was surprised he was surprised to hear that since just about ALL the reviews have the SAME complaint

I really love this coffee maker despite the fact that several reviews state that it will problem fail.

If it breaks down, I’ll update my review.

The reviews were not good at the time, so I took a chance

Ordered it 2 months ago, in lieu of some reviews stating that theirs broke.

After reading some of the negative reviews, I know that it may not last a long time.

Hope this review is helpful!

and I agreed with the one person who said the person posting the bad review did not read the instructions.

I can't understand the negative reviews about this coffee maker, especially those complaining that it stopped working after 2 years

Such a cheap product and waste of money, all of the negative reviews on this are justified

The reviews are correct,, you will enjoy it for about 3 months before quits

I had high hopes for this product because of a number of positive reviews at the time

I read some good and bad reviews on this

I bought it on a whim after reading other buyers' positive reviews on

I rarely write bad reviews but, well, here one is.

If this thing breaks in a few days I'll update my review, but if I get just TEN DAYS out of it, I'll have my money's worth.

Didn't get water as hot as I likie,.

while stylish and is good for a quick cup of coffee, the coffee is not as hot as I like it nor does it keep it warm

I do use more than one scoop of coffee, as I like it strong
