very nice coffee maker, I really like it and all the features.
Some people might dig that feature, but I really hate it, as I need complete and total silence in the morning, until after I've had my first cup of coffee
Makes a great cup of coffee, love the auto program feature!
A couple of awkward design features: compartment to pour water into is narrow and doesn’t easily allow you to completely empty the water in the carafe and the top of the carafe snaps on and off, rather than being on a hinge.
In other words, the auto-off feature doesn't work, the bold feature doesn't work, the cup selector doesn't work - none of the features work if the pot is brewing or left on
We got tried of racing all over for less expensive K-cups
I must love this coffeemaker since this is my third one, UNFORTUNATELY , in four years!!!
Other than that it brews coffee very well and is a fabulous coffeemaker.
I wish the stainless felt more substantial and that the black stainless was as dark as in the photo - I feel I paid extra for something that isn't what it is advertised to be
LOVE the LavAzza Crema e Gusto Ground Coffee 8.80 oz (Pack of 8)
I love the thermal carafe, I love the taste of the coffee
coffee not brewed consistently hot and the carafe doesn't keep coffee as hot as it should
Super cheap glass carafe comes with this coffee make and not easy to find a replacement.
The thermal carafe itself has a serious design flaw that makes it impossible to pour water or coffee out of it without at least seriously dripping, and most often splattering liquid outside of the target container.
The coffee tastes great, the carafe keeps the coffee hot, the programming is wonderful
After many days the replacement has arrived with instructions to return the defective product, presumably shipping at our cost in addition to the other ten dollars
Original purchase price for fairly expensive but cheaply made defective product
This is actually a very efficient product makes a good cup of coffee according to my parents who love coffee
We called amazon and told them we wanted to return our defective product.
Product delivers everything promised and it makes a good cup of coffee
but you need to add additional coffee to compensate or your brew will be weak even if you use the bold setting
My old coffee maker was a 10 cup and I have found that I can use the same amount of beans with 12 cups and the bold setting for a little stronger brew.
The water filter option is a nice plus, and the "bold" brew setting seems to slow the brewing a bit to give steamy water more time to absorb coffee favor while brewing

It would make a loud clicking noise while brewing and would only brew half a pot when we would put a whole pot of water in to be brewed, leaving the water compartment half filled
Too bad shoddy workmanship ruined an otherwise good experience.

good pot o coffee, hard to dump water into the small tank opening without spilling the last amount of water in the carafe
After 5-6 years of use, the coffee just wasn't as hot as I like it
I use Chock-full-o nuts ground coffee which we have always used
love having coffee made with freshly ground beans daily
I did not purchase this from Amazon (which I love) but am posting this review here, as well as on my purchase site, to warn the public.
It's amazing, it's like the difference between stale coffee and just ground beans
Bottom line, you will be very satisfied with your first cup of coffee regarding the coffee flavor and temp, as well as the tight footprint of this maker on your counter top!
After each fill, it is necessary to wipe up the spilled water from the side of the unit, as well as from the counter top
The most aggravating problem was that the handles kept popping off of the hot coffee pots - we went through 3 of those in 8 years and it was just sheer luck that nobody got burned
Their coffee maker get rusted in a year and their customer service simply ignores the problem
the first one lasted just under 2 years and the the the clock stopped working Same problem with the second but in less than a year
I bought this coffee maker because it supposedly had corrected problems that I had with previous models of this coffee maker
I have not had any problems with the warming plate flaking off.

For a couple months now, the coffee maker makes an incredibly loud "clunking" sound as it brews
I know that sounds silly, but when being used to having to pour with your right hand and trying to see the cup measurements, it so much easier.
Set it up the night before and wake up to the smell of coffee, or it's loud beeping sound that it makes when it's out of water
I informed the manufacturer and they sent a new one (but I had to pay a significant shipping and service fee), but the new one makes the same loud sound
