    • It does brew quickly and does produce good tasting coffee, good as in better than a $14 machine, now on to the negatives

    • It's the older model, but it still works as flawlessly as the first day and it makes great tasting coffee
    • It's the best-tasting coffee I've had from anything other than a french press.

    • When the coffee tastes this good, it's hard to limit how much to drink
    • As other have said the carafe needs to be held nearly upside down to get all of the coffee out of it but for me the biggest problem with the carafe has been a metallic taste to the coffee as well as trying to keep it clean

    • It IS better coffee, tastes different, but better, not as bitter maybe?

    • This makes great tasting, hot coffee, I have tried so many different coffee
    • any grounds in the carafeCarafe keeps coffee HOT for roughly 8 hours (may vary depending on seasonal temperatures in your home)30 second pre-soak makes for an excellent tasting cup of coffee
    • I am highly satisfied with the great tasting coffee it brews, however it has developed a problem of shutting off prior to emptying the water reservoir

    • Unfortunately you get stale coffee that tastes lousy
    • You need to use more coffee than normal to make a good tasting brew
    • While it does make good tasting coffee it has its faults
    • Brews a really good tasting cup of coffee
    • The Bonavita was faster, more convenient and had a really smooth taste.
    • I thought the design, ease of use, looks and most importantly, the taste of the coffee were all terrific.
    • The coffee brews beautifully and the taste is excellent
    • If you are flexible and want good taste this may be the one for you
    • Coffee brewed fast and was still hot but not as great tasting.

    • While the coffee tastes great, the thermal carafe is terrible

    • I've always ground my beans fresh before brewing, but this machine improves the taste even more
    • My quest has been to find a home brewer to deliver or exceed coffee house taste at home

    • This unit makes great, rich tasting coffee.
    • This coffee brewer makes the best tasting coffee.
    • Fast and coffee tastes great.
    • It is kept in a well insulated container but the coffee remains hot for only few hoursOverall: recommend for anyone who wants good tasting coffee from a simple, easy to use machine
    • It brews decent-tasting coffee, and (the reason we were looking at insulated carafes in the first place) it doesn't have a hotplate that burns the coffee if left on after brewing
    • It makes great tasting coffee very quickly, it's simple with only one button, nothing
    • Super quick while providing excellent tasting coffee
    • It doe taste good though, but my microwave is getting a workout every morning.
    • Excellent coffee taste.
    • n’t write to many reviews but this coffee maker tops them all.
    • now it works just as great as when it was new.
    • I read some reviews which said that the coffee doesn't come out hot enough/ stay warm in the carafe, but I've brewed a pot of coffee, poured about half of it into cups, and came back an hour later to refill them, and the coffee in the carafe was still just as hot as when it was brewed.
    • I've used other percolators, including nice expensive ones, but never found the coffee to be as good as from a Keurig or Aeropress
    • In addition, the coffee does not takes a good as from my 8 year old Cuisinart coffee maker
    • Thus, the coffee didn’t taste as good as it could.
    • This replaced a $300 dollar European coffemaker and is just as good as for less than half the price.
    • The carafe does a good job of keeping the coffee warm but not as hot as when it comes out of the machine.
    • The coffee doesn't seem to stay as hot as in our old one.
    • Not as great as it was rated
    • I would say if you're going to invest the money, pick up a grinder as well as it has made all the difference.
    • If coffee temperature is a concern, then I think there are coffee brewers out there with carafes that offer much better insulation, such as the Zojirushi EC-YSC100, available for the same amount of money
    • Most of the aroma should be going in the carafe so that your finished product tastes as good as it can.
    • For the short time my coffee sits in the carafe it stays nearly as hot as when I made it
    • I have owned you most in-expensive models and spent more based on widely regarded reviewer sources as well as from consumer reviews found on sites such as this one and found this little gem to give the biggest bang for the buck
    • Everything works as it should, and I am uber excited to have a pre-infusion mode to allow the coffee to bloom
    • After 4 months it doesn’t keep the coffee as warm after 20 minutes(so not as hot as when it was first bought).
    • n’t write to many reviews but this coffee maker tops them all.
