This coffee tastes smooooooth! I suspect the charcoal water filter is the reason for that. I also like the "shower head" design of the water spout. The water actually runs up a track onto the underside of the lid and is sprinkled over the ground coffee like a rain shower.
It's an attractive unit but it also looks like a serious coffee maker. This unit is no toy. It looks and feels solid. The carafe has a good solid feel and balance. The plastic parts (like the plastic carafe lid and handle) feel like good heavyweight plastic and are well molded. It's not the lightweight crappy plastic that cracks and discolors easily in the cheap coffee makers.
I like the 5 beeps when the coffee is ready. Now I can leave the kitchen and go clean or whatever and I don't have to keep running back to see if I can get a cup yet. I can hear the beeps. But if I really can't wait and want a cup in mid-brew, I can just remove the pot and pour a cup - you've got a full 30 seconds to reinsert the pot, before you risk an overflowing filter.
I like the permanent gold-tone filter too. I always thought paper filters were a pain. They'd fold over sometimes and there'd be grounds in my coffee. But you can use paper filters in this machine if you want to. I just prefer the convenience of the gold-tone filter (top rack machine washable too).
It has an indicator light for cleaning -- it says it's "self-cleaning" but really it's just a light telling you when you need to pour in a pot of water/vinegar and run it through to decalcify the unit. (I never thought to do that with my other units. Probably another reason my coffee wasn't as good as I wanted it to be.)
The low-medium-high setting on the hot plate is pretty nice too. And the auto-shutoff feature is great. I don't have to worry about forgetting to turn the machine off.
The instruction booklet is very good and very thorough. Comes with a parts reordering form too.
What don't I like about this machine? It requires maintenance in that you have to change the charcoal filters. But actually I don't mind since I think they are the reason the coffee tastes so smooth, and they are very easy to change and not expensive [...]
Also, the area in the top of the machine where you pour in the water is narrow but again this is just a minor inconvenience. Just have to pour a little carefully.
So really it's almost all positives with a couple of very minor negatives. I highly recommend this coffee maker.
My husband and I drink at least one pot of coffee each day, flavor is very important & this brewer creates a very good flavor of coffee. I believe it is the internal water filter that makes the difference. Here are my thoughts on the negative reviews:
*First of all, this machine is very attractive. You have the stainless look to match your appliances, without dropping $2k on a genuine all stainless machine. It is often a topic of conversation with it's unique styling. It really is a jewel among all of my other stainless & chrome treasures. Over-all with this brewer I felt as though I received much more than I paid for. It's stylish & makes a good tasting brew.
*I don't understand the reviews about the temp not being hot enough - the hot plate has 3 temp settings. I keep it on high & I've scalded my tongue more than once. I could not imagine wanting my coffee any hotter!
*We drink strong coffee - so if your coffee is weak I have a technique for you to try...add more coffee. We use a paper filter & have no problems.
*As for the creaking, I've not heard it. (The machine makes noises typical of every coffee pot I have ever owned while brewing...percolating water, etc)
*I like the beeper that lets me know my coffee is ready. Much like Pavlov's dog I now get happy & crave my coffee when I hear that wonderful little beep. I don't think it's excessive - it reminds me of our microwave timer.
*The operating instructions are very simple to read & understand. The little booklet gives you detailed step-by-step instructions on setting the pot up & details on the features. My 2 year old even knows how to set it up on the auto timer & turn it on to brew. (He's our helper monkey)
*I do agree that the measuring steps inside the pot are useless. They're difficult to see, but I'm o.k with that. I just use the clean pot to measure my water. I've survived many years measuring my water in this fashion without the aid of an internal measuring device on my brewer.
I feel over-all that this is a sound purchase and you will get your money's worth and more.
UPDATE: NOW all that being said...I did NOT edit any part of my original review but I would like to make one final comment. I purchased this coffee pot in February 2008 it is now October 2010 and yesterday morning my beloved coffee pot failed to work. It had power going to it, as the lights came on, however it did nothing else.... it didn't make any noises, didn't heat up...it just sat there mocking me as I waited longingly for my cup of brew. Do I think it should have lasted a little longer? Yes....however I will very likely purchase this coffee maker again, because despite it's short-lived existence it still made an excellent cup of coffee and looked perfect in my kitchen at an affordable price.
