No bitterness or unpleasant taste

So easy and great taste

The filters must be working because the taste is good.

I am not happy with the way the brew turns out, it's weak tasting

Brews fast and makes great tasting coffee!

The disappointment that I am experiencing is a "bad" taste that lingers after drinking the coffee.

I read several reviews about a weird taste which I did not experience

Smelled and tasted like burnt plastic

You can get up the next morning throw a cup of yesterday's coffee in the microwave and still have a fine tasting brew

Coffee maker is so much better than the new maker that I just couldn't make a good tasting cup of coffee ever

There was a noticeable plastic/chemical smell out of the box, but I ran the simple cleaning cycle which is detailed in the manual and have had absolutely no problem with a bad taste

Coffee brews fast and is wonderful tasting

The coffee itself is great tasting and stays hot for hours even after the shuts down.

It's fast, easy to clean, coffee tastes great...keeps the coffee warm for a long time

The first pot tasted terrible

I'll be looking for something new to replace this, since I can't keep drinking bad tasting water.

Makes really terrible tasting coffee, probably because it brews so

The thermal carafe seals tightly to hold in the heat and does a great job of keeping the coffee hot for at least two hours without the need of a hot plate and which can lead to bitter tasting coffee.

And the the thermal coffee pot... it keeps the coffee fresh tasting for three hours

great tasting coffee!!!!

Thermal Coffeemaker with Standard Packaging, which makes very nice tasting coffee, but the thermal carafe is difficult to keep clean for some reason and mine developed a permanent coating inside that affects the flavor of the coffee after it sits for an hour.

Pros: Great taste, very quick brewing if cleaned regularly, relatively quiet

The coffee is hot, tastes great, and stays hot for well over 2 hours in the carafe

For the price makes great coffee 4 mins it is done and the coffee taste great we love it.

I dont really even like strong coffee, but this tastes like water with a few spoons of coffee in it

I was used to the slow brewing Breville which makes a really strong,great tasting cup of coffee

It makes incredible-tasting coffee, and serves a dual purpose

My husband love this coffee pot and the taste of the coffee more than me.

I poured a cup of the hot water to taste it , the taste of just plain water was like putting straight glue into my mouth

Unlike glass the bottom of the pot doesn't start tasting harsh because the water has evaporated out

It signals me to change filters after 90 brews so perfect taste is maintained

Had great tasting coffee out of my old coffee machine

Still hot hours later, but no bitter or burned taste.

but it made the worst tasting coffee I have ever had in my entire life

Like many other people reviewing I really want to like this machine, it makes a great tasting cup of coffee, I love the idea of a built in water filter, and the carafe keeps my coffee warm for hours without burning it

No noise very little mess and great tasting coffee

Coffee tastes very weak, like coffee flavored hot water with a tinge of plastic

This makes an excellent ,,and hot cup of coffee........love the pot itself ,keeps the coffee hot for hours on end,I do not really see how you could get a better tasting coffee..the item is a little Tall and probably will not fit under most kitchen cabinets

It makes great tasting coffee and keeps it hot for 2+ hours.

We used the same coffee but the taste was awesome

I have a sensitive taste pallet, and will detect bitterness, dairy souring, etc.. before my husband, friends, and family will

What I didn't know is how much BETTER even cheap or bitter coffee tastes when made as hot as this does.

It does keep the coffee very hot, even longer than advertised (2 hours I believe is the manufacturer's take on that, at least in the manual) but I find myself having fresh tasting coffee, that's extremely hot even after 7+ hours

The coffee tastes great, and stays warm without burning (like it does with units that have coffee heaters.

This is a great coffee maker, quick and makes great tasting, hot coffee.

I also purchased a metal filter basket for this model and the coffee taste great and a bit more bold than on my older model with paper filter.

You will get a very light/weak tasting coffee as a result

The coffee tastes so great, even 2 days after brewing.

The coffee tastes great

Preferred taste of coffee from my (much) cheaper Cuisinart coffee maker.

Not really sure what it does, but the coffee (as I stated earlier) is pleasant tasting.

---INTENSE TOXIC SMELL and taste---

I ran water through it first and had no issues with weird tastes

The coffee stays fresh tasting in the pot all day.

but it just doesn't make good tasting coffee

The taste is So much better

We love the mellow, smooth taste of the coffee it makes with the mesh baskets.

Update: about a year later, and I have continued to enjoy great tasting coffee.

Maybe the filter is needed with treated city water to improve the taste

The extra water filtering makes for a great tasting cup of coffee and the thermal carafe keeps the coffee hot without burnt coffee (one of my pet peeves.)

And the most important: Taste

Bad taste, weak coffee

Tried another coffee, same horrible taste.

It makes good tasting coffee.

drinker.you can make a curtain size of coffee but the perfect taste is 6-7 cups of water

One good point, coffee tastes good, but I wouldn't buy this again if given the chance.

The coffee maker made good tasting

Wish it had a warmer but it does make great tasting coffee

and I really liked the taste of my coffee

Much fresher tasting than our last coffeemaker.

The first few pots brewed had that noticable awful plasticky taste/smell, but that has since dissipated

To top it off, the coffee doesn't come out tasting nearly as good as it did out of our old Cuisinart.

Am currantly enjoying a fresh, I'd forgotten what good coffe taste like, cup from this coffee maker

All three coffee selections leave the "bad" taste.

Makes great tasting coffee

The coffee just simply doesn't get stale tasting

If you follow directions and keep it clean it won't leak or have a funny taste

Good: I did not experience the bad plastic odor or taste with the first few brews.

Stays hot; taste great and brews very fast

By not having an electric element heating the coffee all day the taste stays great

Plus, it makes a great tasting pot of coffee

I use much less coffee now and get a better tasting cup

Need much more coffee that my old simple mr coffee and still coffee is very light/bad taste

I dispensed with the filter, as my water tastes fine and the cleaning cycle should be more than sufficient to take care of mineral build up over time

We use the same brand we always used and there was a terrible chemical taste in

Made great tasting coffee for awhile

Disappointing because it does make good coffee, and I like the carafe, it keeps the coffee tasting fresh.

If it made the best tasting coffee I had ever had I could probably live with

I guess if you are looking for burn your taste buds off hot....then keep looking

Some other reviews have mentioned a weird taste possibly from the filter

You can pay three or four times the price for other brewing stations that do not make a better tasting cup of coffee.

Good: I did not experience the bad plastic odor or taste with the first few brews.

It brews fast, produces excellent tasting coffee, and the sealed carafe design keeps the coffee very warm for several hours.

Better yet it brews a cup of coffee in minutes and it has a wonderful fresh coffee taste

we even tried using it without the charcoal filter and still the coffee tastes terrible in this pot.

This machine brews fast, and makes a nice tasting cup of coffee

I love the convenient design but the taste is the important part and it totally fails.

Great design and program feature worked well, but it is impossible to like the coffee taste

The coffee tastes weak and watered down

The coffee tastes great and stays hot for hours

It makes good tasting coffee.

I grind my own beans, so the taste is important to me, and I didn't think it would be so different, but it's vastly improved from my old coffee maker (which was also Mr. Coffee, but even though I cleaned it frequently, 14 years of use is 14 years of use.

I also like the fact that there is a water filter, which I think does improve the taste

The taste was horrid, which meant it all went down the sink

The coffee tastes great and stays hot for around 3 hours in the insulated carafe

I want to love this product, but if I cant get good tasting coffee out of it what use are the nifty features to me

The first time we used it, we had the water filter in and the coffee had a horrible taste - even though we had followed instructions for set up of washing the carafe and rinsing the filter with water before use.

Must use filtered or distilled water (tastes wonderful) for long life of this machine

Coffee tastes good is finished in no time., faster than the old one.

It also makes good tasting coffee (not bitter)

The thing that is wrong with this coffee maker, and the reason I returned it after two weeks of daily use, is that it just doesn't brew decent tasting coffee.

This thing makes great coffee, fresh taste from first cup to the last with no burnt taste

Coffee tastes horrible

Coffee tastes great, stays hot, easy to fill water, and I love the fact that there is no hot plate to burn my coffee

All I want is one cup of coffee that's still hot and not burnt tasting if I wanted a second cup.

Hot and good tasting coffee with easy display and just the features I wanted (correct height, thermal carafe, removable water tank) at a great price - perfect in my book!

What I REALLY like: thermos is wonderful - keeps the coffee warm and fresh tasting

Well I like the coffee maker, quiet and provides a good tasting cup of coffee, however, it does not keep coffee hot for more than 2-3 hours.

It makes a quick smooth tasting cup of coffee

Most of all the coffee tastes great, better than my last one 3 times the price

She drinks a lot of coffee and according to her this unit makes the best tasting cup of coffee she has ever had

The water had the same horrible taste

The coffee tasted like liquid plastic, just awful.

I really like the taste of the coffee.

This product makes wonderful tasting coffee

It does NOT brew as hot as stated and so the coffee is weak and watered down tasting no matter how much extra you put in or grind type

Works well, coffee taste fantastic and when brewed at 7:30am is still nice and hot at 2pm

It did take a few rounds of cleaning to get rid of the odd taste when we first bought it, but after that its just a nice coffee flavor

However, I will say that good tasting water is a necessity for good tasting coffee, so if you don't already filter your water, you will find the filter option that comes with the machine very helpful

The coffee taste horrible

My old Braun poured as fast as if there were no cap, and it kept the coffee as hot amd for as long as this one

I read some of the complaints as well as the many positives before buying and I can say that the complaints are largely 1) user error or 2) impatience

I set mine to brew at 8:45 AM, and by noon my coffee was still as hot as if I had just made it

My last thermal pot I had to turn the lid to get coffee, this one you only have to push down on a lever as you pour, much easier

Love this coffee maker and mine is still working but the rubber seal on the pot is worn out so it is not keeping the coffee as warm as

When it happened to my husband twice yesterday morning, and he said his once enjoyable morning routine had turned into a stressful way to start the day, I picked up a simple no frills coffeepot that hopefully will work as it's supposed to

If you wait too long to due a cleaning your coffee maker will poop out due to hard water deposits build up.

Of note is that the machine will let you know when it is time to clean, and will not make coffee, as far as I can tell, until cleaned.
