the first thing about how good the coffee is, is about the ratio of coffee grinds to water

Watered heated to a certain temp and poured over coffee grinds isn't that complicated

Just run my water through my coffee grinds and let's go

I use reasonably priced but decent quality coffee ground in the store, the cheapest flat bottom filters (they work just fine in this machine), unfiltered tap water, I do not preheat the carafe - and again, the coffee is

So when you open the top of the coffee ground section, water always drips out of the spray area, and when you take the carafe out to clean it, water/coffee always drips out onto the heating platform below, and when you unscrew the top of the carafe, water and coffee drips on your counter

Large footprint, wish there was a deeper coffee grind well, I like strong coffee, and hard to pour entire contents w/o removing top

It rarely measures number of cups of water correctly so I just pour the hot water over the coffee grinds

While we were pleased with some features of the Bunn, specifically the stainless steal coffee pot, we were looking for a machine that had a timer and a different coffee grind holder.

I was a little disappointed coming from a cheap drip machine (albeit one of the "good" ones apparently) and a french press and this is using fresh coffee ground to size in my Baratz Maestro before use and filtered water

Pros: easy to use - filling water and coffee grinds

I definitely am putting more coffee grinds in the basket than I used to.

so I have reverted back to my own coffee ground scoop

It brewed coffee fast and it was great to use with all of my favorite coffee ground flavors

My old Delonghi measured 178deg brew water, and a cheap-o coffee maker I was temporarily using measured 182deg.

Ah, science is a harsh mistress!I tasted a marked difference between the two brews, and I favored the brew from the Oxo-Kalita chimera at both the 165 F serving temperature and the non-scalding 130 F temperature I prefer when I'm not paying attention

The coffee carafe itself keeps the brewed coffee warm for quite a bit if you want to take it off the machine and bring it to a table or desk (if you work from home, as I
