Editorial Review

Wake up and smell the coffee--not just freshly brewed coffee but freshly ground coffee for full-bodied flavor. This coffeemaker does everything but serve a steaming cup on a silver tray. For the full experience, here's how it goes: pour water into reservoir (a window gauge shows the desired level up to 10 cups); spoon roasted coffee beans into permanent stainless-steel filter basket (no disposable filters needed); program mill to grind beans as you wish (seven settings, from fine to coarse); set clock to current time of day; program timer to begin automatic grinding and brewing process at the hour and minute you wish; sleep like a baby; savor coffee precisely as you like it when you awake. Ground coffee can be used instead of whole beans, and the whole coffee-making process can be initiated instantly without setting the timer. Other attributes: dripping ceases when the tempered-glass carafe is removed from the nonstick warming plate; shutting down is automatic after one hour to prevent damage; cord stores in the rear of the unit. This is a thoroughly modern coffeemaker, suitable for people who take coffee seriously but crave convenience. --Fred Brack ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars Perfection !
Coffee beans are grinded to your preference and then brewed to perfection. 24 hour timer is useful. It's easy to dump the used, grinded beans from the gold filter. The only drawback is the warmer plate, which automatically turns off after only one hour of use. I have easily cured this problem by turning the unit power off and back on (just make sure the grinder is turned off). This specific item has brewed the best cup of coffee, for me.I would recommend it to every coffee drinker !!! Please note: I have the white version of this item.

2-0 out of 5 stars it's ok, BUT>>>
yummy coffee...but i find that you have to quickly jump in after the grinding process and "tamp" down the grounds before the brewing begins, or else the coffee will be a lovely tan color...kinda like a caramel...and will taste like nothing.in the grinding process, the grounds fly up the sides and if you don't knock them down, there's nothing to brew.unless you're making 10 cups ALL THE TIME, which i am not.

5-0 out of 5 stars Best coffee - great value - Melitta has done it again!
I purchased this machine about two months ago and haven't looked back since. Coming from someone who drinks and enjoys a lot of coffee, it is the best coffee maker I have ever owned.

I love the grind and brew system, with auto timer, so my coffee is piping hot and waiting for me in the morning. The clean up is easy and quick -- a rinse of the grind basket after each use and you're done. The auto shut off feature provides peace of mind and allows me to get up and go without the worry of scorching the actual pot.

I have seen other reviews that say that the coffee is not hot enough -- NOT TRUE. My coffee is always piping hot, which is the way I like it (and I use a lot of half & half). Also, I read that some of the pieces will easily break off. Again, NOT TRUE. Just treat it with normal use and you will not have any problems.

I gave this five stars because it exceeded my high expectations and is a great value -- compared to other brands that are almost double the retail price. If you are on the fence about this machine, just go for it. I KNOW that you will not be disappointed. ... Read more

Capresso 452.02 CoffeeTeam Plus Coffeemaker/Grinder, White

Average Customer Review: 3.5 out of 5 stars
Kitchen
list price: $199.99
US | Canada | United Kingdom | Germany | France

Editorial Review

If you love fresh-ground coffee but hate getting up in the morning to make it, Capresso's 10-cup coffee maker will put a smile on your morning. It does it all: filters the water, grinds the beans, and makes the coffee. (Unfortunately, it doesn't also make toast, but you'll enjoy your first cup of perfectly brewed coffee while you're making it.) This model's sleek design features shiny white plastic with rounded edges. It's taller than most coffee makers but, at 19 inches, still fits under the counter.

The machine is filled at night using regular tap water and beans, and then programmed using the LCD display panel. Its cold-water filtration system uses a charcoal filter to remove most of the chlorine in the water. (Additional filters and replacement parts are available from Capresso.) The burr coffee grinder grinds the beans to one of four different settings, depending on the type of bean used, and the ground coffee fills up the included reusable gold-tone coffee filter. Of course, the coffee grinder and coffee maker can be used without the programmable feature, but the big draw here is the smell of just-ground java wafting into the bedroom before the alarm goes off. The one-year warranty includes Capresso Plus Service, with help available at a toll-free number or by fax or e-mail. If the machine needs repair or replacement while under warranty, the company pays for UPS pickup and shipping both ways. Complete operating instructions are included with many illustrations, troubleshooting tips, and hints on preparing that elusive pot of perfect brew. --Marcie Bovetz

Editor's Choice: Capresso's CoffeeTeam Plus coffeemaker/grinder is our choice for the best coffeemaker over $100. It is the ideal machine for java lovers who want to both grind and brew their own cup. Its built-in burr grinder has four grind settings, and coolly deposits the grinds into an included gold filter. After the grinding is finished, the filter holder rotates over so that brewing can begin (with three brewing settings to choose from). All this gives you a lot of control over the flavor, and the included charcoal water filter and three different coffee-strength settings also help. Read more in our comparison of coffeemakers. ...

  • Limited one-year warranty
  • Programs to exact specifications
  • Includes Swiss burr grinder, gold-tone filter, and charcoal water filtration system
  • Five cup settings, three strength settings, and Stop-and-Serve feature

5-0 out of 5 stars Very nice!
I just bought this a few days ago, and let me tell you I am ecstatic about the purchase.Unfortunately, my local Willima-Sonoma (one m ile away) sells it at the same price as Amazon, so I got it there (I prefer to shop locally if the price is nearly the same).

I STRONGLY SUGGEST you view the video that's included in the box.I read the manual, and it seemed really complex.I then sat down and watched the included instructional video with my wife (she would have thrown the manual in the garbage it was so 'technical'), and after watching the 10-15 minute video everything looked remarkably simple.We both understood it and the video showed how easy this fine coffeemaker really is to use.

It took some experimentation with the 'grind' and 'strength' settings with the first few pots until I got the brew just right.Trying out the different grinds (fine to course), strength (It goes from weak to medium to very strong) took a few tries, but after the fifth pot I figured out what I liked best.While I was 'experimenting' on each pot I brewed the taste went all the way from 'weak' to 'very strong' (like Starbucks).The flavor was wonderful in all cases.

This pot is quick and easy to clean up.It takes less than a minute (30 seconds?) to rinse the pot and gold filter.The timer works great.The grind is perfectly even, and I find I am using LESS cofee then I did with my old Braun Coffeemaker which finally bit the dust after 10 years.I was using a Braun blade grinder and the Capresso grinder makes the blade grinder look like a Hugo compared to the Capresso's Lexus/Mercedes performance.

I use premium beans (Good Hawaian, Columbian, Costa Rican, etc.) and I have to say no drip maker I have ever used brings out the flavor like this one does.

It cost a bit, but with the burr grinder, the excellent hot brewing temperature, the timer, grind adjustments, strength adjustments, and easy cleanup I feel this is the best coffee maker I have ever owned.

I love this thing!

1-0 out of 5 stars Good at first... 1.5 years later no longer works
I was pretty excited with the product when I first purchased it -- cool gizmo with the auto grinder and much less messy than the cuisinart auto grinder product.However, 8 months in, the hot plate stopped working.This was with average use - one pot 5 times/week.It was under warrenty, but I had to pay $... plus shipping to send it back in to Capresso and they fixed it and sent it back within 10 days.Unfortunatley 2 months after the 1 year warrenty was up the grinder stopped working.Just stopped working one day without any particular reason.Now we are just using it to make coffee w/o the grinder and I'm off to find a better coffee maker -- maybe something with an espresso maker included.

3-0 out of 5 stars Not bad, not great
This is a nice looking, fairly decent coffeemaker.My only problem with the machine is that the coffeepot is not well made and tends to leak coffee while I'm pouring.But, for the value and quality of the coffee, this is not a bad coffeemaker. ... Read more

Editorial Review

Loaded with convenient features, this coffeemaker not onlybrews ten 5-ounce cups of coffee directly into a stainless-steel vacuumcarafe, it also delivers up to 32 ounces of hot milk and froth forcappuccinos, café lattés, and hot chocolates. The carafeis virtually unbreakable and keeps coffee hot for four hours without awarming plate that can turn coffee bitter. Other features include adigital clock/timer for programming the brewing cycle up to 24 hours inadvance (automatic wake-up coffee!); a drip-stop to pause the brewingcycle for 20 seconds if the carafe is removed for a midbrew pour; twobrewing cycles (3 to 5 cups or 6 to 10 cups) for maximum coffee flavor;a permanent gold tone filter that eliminates messy paper filters; and apush-button, swing-out filter holder.

The milk-frothing system dispenses hot milk and froth directly into acup and uses a separate heating system from the coffeemaker and a milkcontainer separate from the water container for brewing coffee. (Aflexible hose can be used to siphon milk directly from a carton of milkinstead of the milk container.) The machine automatically switches to astand-by mode for steaming when the brewing cycle is complete. However,milk can be frothed for, say, hot chocolate without brewing coffee. Aknob adjusts milk flow, milk temperature, and the amount of froth,permitting precise control for individual taste. An instruction videocomes with the machine, which measures 14 inches high, 11 inches wide,and 12 inches deep and carries a one-year warranty against defects.--Fred Brack ... Read more

1-0 out of 5 stars A $200.00 PIECE OF JUNK
I'VE HAD MINE FOR ABOUT 2 YEARS NOW, WELL, THE FIRST FEW WEEKS, I HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE THING LEAKING (3 TIMES)THEY KEPT SENDING ME WATER CONTAINERS. THE CARAFFE THAT'S SUPPOSED TO KEEP THE COFFEE HOT FOR 4 HOURS, WELL, THAT'S A BUNCH OF BULL. YOU'RE LUCKY IF IT STAYS FOR ONE.I CALLED UP SO MANY TIMES , THEY REFUSED TO REPLACE IT!!!!!NOW I CAN'T EVEN USE IT, AS SOON AS YOU PUT THE WATER CONTAINER IN THE MACHINE, IT STARTS POURING OUT WATER EVERYWHERE. THEY WANT $65.00 TO REPLACE A 50 CENT SEAL, THATS WORN OUT. I OFFERED THEM $10.00 FOR THE STUPID THING, THEY WOUDN'T EVEN SEND IT TO ME FOR THAT. YOU CAN'T EVEN SPEAK TO A MANAGER THEY JUST DON'T LET YOU!!!!!
I WOULD OF BEEN BETTER OFF BUYING MY $30.00 MR.COFFEE MACHINES EVERY 2-3 YEARS, INSTEAD OF THIS $200.00 PIECE OF JUNK . IT WOULD OF BEEN A LOT CHEAPER.

I WOUDN'T HAVE BEEN SO MAD IF THEY REPLACED IT WITH A NEW ONE WHEN THEY FIGURED OUT I GOT STUCK WITH A LEMON!!!!!!

DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY, YOU WORK TOO HARD FOR IT!!!!!

5-0 out of 5 stars Great froth and coffee
Loved the coffee and the froth.Easy to use - especially when you watch the video that comes with it.After owning other machines such as Krups where you have to manually froth the milk (and it just bubbles up instead of frothing), I was amazed at the perfect glass of frothed milk it creates as I stand back and watch...it doesn't get much easier than that.I didn't have any problems with milk splashing/spurting out as others have mentioned.I used a normal-sized mug - nothing fancy - and got perfect results.I guess you can tell I'm impressed with this product, as I've just typed a paragraph about froth perfection!

4-0 out of 5 stars used over 2 years
Well worth (...).Makes great coffee, carafe keeps coffee hot, at least for a couple of hours.Brews close to the optimum temperature, around 190 degrees F.Most coffee makers crap out in a year or so.This Capresso keeps going, and it is used at least once per day.The froth-xpress is a really neat touch.Sometimes I use it to froth milk when making espresso with the Gaggia Carezza.Just lazy, I suppose. ...

Editorial Review

For coffee that's as fresh as the neighborhood coffee shop, but served at home, try Cuisinart's Automatic Grind and Brew coffeemaker. It makes it easy to enjoy fresh coffee with the utmost convenience--ground whole-bean coffee pours directly into the filter basket at a pre-set time for instant brewing. The maker does all the thinking, with a range of programmable features: set the machine to grind and brew at exactly the right time, predetermine the coffee's temperature, and program the machine to turn off a half-hour later.

Other features take the guess work out of coffeemaking as well: the flavor setting ensures the optimal amount of water is used for a rich, aromatic taste and no acidity or bitterness, and the large easy-view water window makes sure the right amount of water is added. The gold-tone permanent filter also enhances coffee flavor for a hardy, rich taste. A self-clean feature lets you know when calcium buildup is interfering with the machine's operation; turn on the self-clean cycle to make quick work of grime. Daily cleaning of the machine is somewhat involved since all individual parts must be removed, so prepare for slightly longer clean up in exchange for time-saving upfront.

Two additional caveats: The grinder is noisy, as most grinders are, and cannot be turned off midgrind. And the coffee bar is taller than average coffee machines, so make sure you have a spot for it with plenty of below cupboard space. --Emily Wolf ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars I LOVE MINE!!
I have bought a few coffeemakers lately, trying to get the one I want.. Well, I bought this one refurbished and cheap, so I am not worried if it doesn't last super long- if it does, it will be that much better.. Let me say this makes an awesome cup of fresh coffee.. My dad stopped by today and had a cup and said it was fantastic.. I have made coffee before in my old perculator and he never commented on it.. I just used the french vanilla folger beans and it really does a good job.. Makes me want to drink coffee more 'cause it tastes so good- no bitterness- just a full bodied cup of java.. I would just look around and try to find the best price and then go for it!! I'd buy it again- As far as cleaning goes, I take my kitchen sprayer, and spray all the parts clean and let air dry.. it takes literally maybe 1 minute.. NO BIG DEAL

4-0 out of 5 stars Great *starter*for those curious about grinding their own
For the true caffeine addict, grinding your own beans is the only way to go. This pot offers the opportunity to break into this realm.

The pot disassembles for cleaning rather easily; however having a seperate grinder is the best. I picked up one for less than $20 and it hasn't missed the daily "grind" in over 3 years.

The Cuisinart DGB-300 makes a great pot of coffee. The added grinding feature merit, in my opinion, is to introduce folks to the world of freshly ground bean. This pot lasted me longer than the other brands. The experience so moved me that I purchased Cuisinart DGB-300 coffeemakers for close friends.

1-0 out of 5 stars We've had it for two whole days - nothing but problems!!
My husband and I received the DGB-300 as a Christmas gift.Three times we've programmed it to start automatically, three times it hasn't started.Plus, even on the hottest setting, the coffee barely melts the sugar we stir into it and is lukewarm shortly thereafter.

According to the reviews I've read so far (appx. 50 out of 175 or so), I'm not expecting much help from Cuisinart, and I'm anticipating that whatever help they'll offer will be contingent upon us shipping the unit to them at *our* cost and having a new unit shipped to us at *our* cost.No way - why should we pay for the shipping costs for them to replace their defective product??

I'm just glad the person who gave it to us got it on a fabulous sale and had a nice discount coupon lying around - she only paid about $35 for this machine.So far it hasn't proven to be worth even half of that.

My guess is that unless we get some sort of satisfaction from Cuisinart, we'll go back to having a separate grinder and machine - the machine that this model replaced in our home was around $15 and lasted for 2.5 years before we had a problem with it (and the problem is easily remedied).Our grinder was $20 and is going strong.

I've been trying to contact Cuisinart through their customer helpline all day, to no avail.

Two days into DGB-300 ownership and I already want to sent it flying over our apartment's balcony. ... Read more

Editorial Review

This 10-cup (50-ounce) coffeemaker will help you get going in the morning--its digital clock with programmable timer means a hot cup o' joe will be waiting when you get out of bed. The auto shutoff keeps coffee hot for two hours, then turns the machine off in case you forget. The coffeemaker can be used with or without the water filtration system, which removes chlorine taste and improves water quality. Both the water container and filter insert are removable, and the machine will work just fine underneath low-hanging, 16-inch cabinets. If you just can't wait for that first cup, its drip-stop function lets you pour from the carafe during brewing. This machine comes with a little measuring scoop, a GoldTone filter, and a one-year limited warranty. --Doree Armstrong ... Read more

4-0 out of 5 stars Misleading reviews...
I almost didn't buy this product after the numerous poor reviews.I am very (VERY) particular regarding my coffee.I have been using a tea kettle (to ensure proper heating) and french press (typically with an African coffee, but also like the LaMinta and some Indonesian coffee); however, of late, I have been entertaining more and needed a regular coffee maker.

My wife did some research online and I then looked at this maker as a possible choice.The negative reviews really put me off.However, it has all of the features I wanted and none of the gimmicks that a real coffee drinker needs.

Let me address some of the misleading information in these reviews:

(1) the filtration system is not "messy".It is easily removed if you already use filtered water and will dramatically improve the flavor of coffee made with tap water.

(2) you do not need to "eye mark" the water levels.the interior of the water reservior is clearly marked with water level indicators.

(3) I do not find this coffee "weak".In fact, the conical gold-tone filter will enhance the flavor as the water is exposed to more grounds than the flat filters.Furthermore, the filter will not absorb the coffee oils (unlike paper) which are an essential part of the flavor.

(4) "Small serving control":put less water in, put less coffee in, and turn it on.If you can't figure that out, you shouldn't be drinking coffee but kool-aid.However, if small serving control refers to pulling out the carafe prior to the completion of brewing, then this capresso does not have that feature.Please note that a coffee aficionado would NEVER use that feature anyway.It results in brackish, bitter coffee from the oversteeping of the grounds.

In summation, if you appreciate fine coffee, Capresso is the Cadillac of coffee makers.Capresso makes better models than this; however, for the price you cannot do better.

5-0 out of 5 stars I love this coffee maker...
granted my last one was a cheap Mr. Coffee maker from K-mart, but this one gives me everything I want.I haven't had any of the problems that the other people have described.I don't know if I would have payed over 100 dollars for it - but with the discount and the free shipping it was a great deal.

5-0 out of 5 stars a great deal
I'm not sure if I would be so enthusiastic about it were it still $(...) or so, but I bought it when it first dipped to $(...) w/ free shipping, so I was pretty excited.Most reviewers have criticized the build quality, but I think it's better than average.The filter has a holder which then slides into the door, but if you're not slamming the door or the holder, it should be fine.The brew path is very simple and easy to keep clean - that's pretty rare.

I really only have 2 caveats.First, there's no external marker to show how much water you've poured in.You'll quickly get the hang of "eye-marking" water levels in the basin and I appreciate the efforts to keep the exterior clean, but it will be a nuissance the first few times you use it.Second, I would ditch using the water filter because you have to replace it every 6 weeks.If you're using filtered water to begin with (I highly recommend the Pur faucet mounts), the charcoal filter is a non-issue. ...

Editorial Review

Wake up and smell the coffee. With the digital clock/timer on this 10-cup coffeemaker, that fantasy comes true: just set the clock and program the hour and minute you want the brewing cycle to begin. Provided you've swung out the filter basket, spooned coffee into the removable liner, and poured in water to the level you desire, you can sleep like a baby (or a log) and freshly brewed coffee will greet you in the morning. (You can also brew at a touch without setting timer or clock.) The timing function is this coffeemaker's principal attribute, but there are others: dripping ceases when the tempered-glass carafe is removed from the nonstick warming plate; shutting down is automatic after two hours to prevent damage; pressing a button when brewing fewer than 5 cups slows the flow of water so maximum flavor can be extracted from grounds; a charcoal filter reduces chlorine and other off-tasting elements in water; thanks to a big handle, moving this coffeemaker is easy. --Fred Brack ...

5-0 out of 5 stars Not just beautiful but it also makes great coffee!
This coffeemaker not just features a stunning and pleasing design unlike any other model, but also brews a terrific cup of coffee. The only drawback may be the fact that the opening to the reservoir is rather shallow, which means you have to fill in the water slowly or it might overflow. But one gets easily the hang of it.
The active-carbon filter is allowing you to use just regular tab water without harming the taste of the coffee.
I certainly bought this coffeemaker foremost for it's unusual design, but after the first cup of coffee I congratulated myself for making such a wise choice.

2-0 out of 5 stars Great for Looks, not for Coffee
I bought the machine because of its looks.I returned the machine because the coffee was consistently lukewarm.If you depend upon a good HOT cup of coffee in the morning, this machine is not for you.

5-0 out of 5 stars Great for school
For Christmas I wanted a coffeemaker that would turn on by itself, had a setting to keep the coffee tasting good if you were brewing a small amount, and would also shut off by itself after a couple of hours.This thing does it all.Since I like to sleep in as late as possible before running off to class, and getting through 9 o'clock Statics is almost physically impossible without some sort of caffeine boost, this coffeemaker is perfect.The filter is a plus since the water in the town is questionable, and it also has a neat contemporary look to it, therefore making it the most attractive thing in the kitchen.A definate "must" for any college student coffee drinker. ...

Braun KF187B FlavorSelect 12-Cup Coffeemaker, Black

Average Customer Review: 4.0 out of 5 stars
Kitchen
list price: $89.99
US | Canada | United Kingdom | Germany | France

Editorial Review

Though only slightly bigger than a quality 4-cup coffeemaker, Braun's top-of-the-line FlavorSelect is full of high-tech wizardry and able to turn ground beans into a superior pot of drip coffee. Its most desirable feature for many will be the water filter (it needs replacing after about two months of regular use). The water filter removes chlorine, bad taste, and odors from water before brewing. It also reduces calcification so the machine rarely, if ever, needs to be decalcified. But, for others, the digital clock and timer feature will be a big draw. The brewing cycle covers both small and large quantities and mild or strong coffee. There's even a feature that adjusts the temperature of the hot plate, and another that turns the machine off from zero to four hours after the coffee is brewed. This model comes with a stainless-steel filter screen, which will last years and eliminates the need for paper filters completely. All of these features come in a sleek, simple design that won't take over the kitchen. It does take about 15 minutes to get through the directions, but once you've got them down, this machine might change your mornings. --Maria Dolan

Editor's Choice: Braun's FlavorSelect coffeemaker is our choice for the best coffeemaker under $100, and our choice for best drip coffeemaker without a grinder, regardless of price. It has too many quality functions not to be, starting with the flavor selector, which lets you adjust the coffee to personal preference--no more trying to adjust flavor by putting in different amounts of coffee. It's also very convenient, with both automatic brewing capabilities and automatic hotplate shutoff (meaning that you can tell it to either turn on or turn off when you're not around), and a hotplate temperature control that ranges from 167 degrees to 187 degrees. ...

1-0 out of 5 stars Junk Alert: Don't Buy It!
Well, I've just chucked this coffeemaker in the garage can after
a futile attempt to repair it. After a mere year and a half, it leaked like a sinking ship as soon as you poured in water.

They seem to be assembled from the inside out, so I couldn't repair it.

It is very discouraging when highly rated appliances that aren't cheap turn out to be built to fail quickly.

I certainly won't buy another of these!

5-0 out of 5 stars Flawless operation for over 10 years
I have had perfect coffee for years (I believe 10 yrs.)every day. This unit was made in Germany not Mexico like the current models, maybe that's why it's lasted so long!I like the audio signal when the coffee is finished brewing (also brew light turns green from red). The coffee strength dial really makes a difference in taste. The audio signal also goes off to tell you when the timed keep the coffee hot feature (programable up to 4 hours) turns off. Also the 1 to 3 cup brew feature gives same brew quality as when brewing a full pot.I have a KF187 model.

2-0 out of 5 stars From Braun-o-philia to Braun-o-phobia
Faithful to Braun since the early '80s, this is probably the last Braun product--certainly the last Braun Coffeemaker--I will own.

The basket is apt to swing out during brewing (what a mess!); too often the paper filter does not stay open (due, I suspect, to how the water is dispensed in the brewing cycle), resulting in a weak brew; the charcoal-filter baskets, effective as they are, are too pricey; the cabinet and reservoir are difficult to clean; and the unit's dated-looking forms, designed for better brewing, do not live up to promise. Plus, the unit always leaks when it is moved.

It is sad that the quality of this once-great brand and its products, since bought by Gillette, has deteriorated so quickly and surely. Basic models of Krups coffeemakers reliably and consistently brew better-tasting coffee. ... Read more

Editorial Review

Despite its small size, this Krups coffeemaker brews full-flavored coffee. If your java consumption is rather tame, or you don't have much space on your counter, this is the coffeemaker for you. The filtering action of the exclusive Krups deep-brew technology maximizes the coffee's richness. A special heating and tubing system minimizes calcification, and the Aroma Savor System lid locks in flavor and aroma. A magnified water level indicator eases water measuring when you're still half-asleep, and the automatic warming plate keeps your coffee warm if you happen to nod off. For those of you who must rush out in the morning, the Stop 'n' Serve feature allows you to pour your first flavorful cup without waiting for the entire pot to brew. --Marcela Broussard ...

3-0 out of 5 stars Fire danger!!
Makes a great pot of coffee, but beware!!For just pennies, they could have installed an automatic turn off function...this model doesnt have it!If you leave after that last pot and forget to turn it off...it doenst turn itself off.

4-0 out of 5 stars Great Buy!
If you only drink a couple of mugs at a time, then this is the machine for you.

The coned filter allows me to use less grinds per cup to get the same strength coffee I would get out of my old flat filtered 12-cup machine; and I don't have to pour out a 1/4 pot of burned coffee.This machine will pay for itself in a few months.

The pot only drips if you pour way too fast.I personally have no problems with it whatsoever; I have no idea what other reviewers are complaining about.

3-0 out of 5 stars Perfectly Practical
I'm a college student who was looking for an easy, low-fuss way to enjoy coffee and hot water on cool mornings.This coffeemaker was the solution to most of these problems.I found that this four cup machine enabled me to make a small pot of coffee for myself or to make hot water for cereal and hot tea.The drip stop feature proved very useful when I was in a hurry. Also, it was very helpful not to have to mess with little paper filters.However, one feature that would enhance this product would be some kind of safety shut-off for the burner.The main problem I found with the machine was the pitcher.It dripped horribly when I tried to pour anything--and I wasn't the only one with this problem!I rejoiced when the pot accidentaly broke--for I could find a new, more improved one!Overall, this machine is a fairly good deal considering the limited supply of four cup machines in the market. ...
