    • This coffee maker puts out the best tasting and most consistent coffee I have ever made at home.

    • Knowing this, and knowing that I could probably tell the difference between a bad drip coffee and a good one but not the difference that these folks can taste, I kind of reduced the importance of the "Slightly brighter taste" feedback on the bonavita aside since the reviews said BOTH makers brewed an "Excellent" our "Outstanding" cup.
    • Now if you don't find that you have refined taste in how your coffee is made, then you don't have to spend the big bucks for this one

    • Taste : very good

    • Water doesn't stay as hot in thermos as I would like.
    • At the point it completes the cycle, the coffee made by this machine is certainly as good as, if not perceptibly better than that of the Bonavita or Capresso; but the coffee keeps better in the caraffe, it pours into the cup better, and it is much less susceptible to filter handling errors that result in rivers of hot coffee running across the counters, down the cabinets, and onto the floor.
    • My only complaint is the water/condensation that stays in where you pour the water as well as under the lid it sort of gets trapped under that rubber piece which makes me worried about mildew
    • Well made, easy to assemble and disassemble as well as to clean
    • This tastes as good as, if not better than, the clever coffee method and is much faster and easier to make
    • Overall I'd highly recommend this as long as you can live with those two limitations.
