Customer Reviews
Average Rating: Rating: - Beautiful machine, great coffee Because of all the negative reviews, I thought I should write a positive one. I would consider myself a coffee snob and have worked as a professional barista in a coffee lover's cafe (as in NOT STARBUCKS), and I have never bought maxwell house in the can as was suggested that those of us who liked this machine did in an earlier review. My brew of choice is Peets Major D's blend,which is a full-bodied dark roast, and this makes a great cup of that. Positives for me with this machine: it looks great on my bar (which was a key reason I bought it), the thermal carafe works with or without the preheating, it does not drip when you pour it, the coffee makes a great cup and I like the four cup feature since I usually don't make more than that anyway. I don't find the cleaning to be a big issue, and if I did, I doubt I would have bought a machine with technical features. The only negative really is that the grinder mechanism is not sealed enough to provide storage--I think it would be great if they came out with a hopper/grinder/dispenser attachment where you could store a half pound of beans on top--which would mean it couldn't fit under a counter. I don't have mine under a counter though, and the design of this probably isn't conducive to that anyway. Capresso makes a good machine, but it's not as pretty as this one. Since I was aprehensive about this machine from all the critiques, I can only suggest to those wavering on purchasing it to try the machine, read the MANUAL, don't overuse the brew pause feature, use quality beans, and don't overgrind--this is not an espresso machine. And yes, it takes a few brew cycles to flush out the "funny" taste. But if cleaning your coffee machine makes you twinge or you have low kitchen counters and can't move it out from underneath, don't buy it. This machine is not a generic "all things to all folks" as the polarized reviews indicate, so buy smart, know what works for you in your kitchen. Rating: - Pleasantly surprised after reading bad reviews. We ordered the coffee maker when there was only one glowing review posted. While waiting for our unit to be shipped, several other reviews were posted which were somewhat negative. In fact, we considered "refusing" the shipment when it arrived, but decided to try it out. We found the coffee maker to make very good coffee. This is particularly important to us as we drink robust "French Roast" coffee and we were not in any way disappointed. The thermal carafe really works! We have poured hot coffee from the carafe five hours after it was brewed. In addition, the grinder is a very efficient alarm clock. The only question we would have would be the longevity of the numerous plastic parts associated with the grinder and the filter unit, but with a reputation like Cusinart's that should not be a problem. Rating: - Great concept & Not a bad cup of coffee I've had the coffee maker for 3 weeks and am getting accustomed to the "high maintenance" nature of this appliance. It does make a great cup of coffee using good beans, but it does not make much. Four mugs and it's gone...so make another pot you say... Well that's where the high maintenance comes in. Prior to firing it up again, one must wash and dry the grinder which gets steamed in the brewing process. If not dried well, the next batch of freshly ground beans will stick to the sides and top and not drain into the basket for optimum brewing. Directions recommend allowing it to "dry overnight" One other downer is that the carafe does not pour well. We have tried different angles but always end up with coffee on the counter. Our old reliable coffee maker is still sitting on the counter. We have not decided which one to put away.
