I've owned this coffeemaker for four years and love it still. It works great and makes excellent coffee. I recently bought another identical one for our guest house. This coffeemaker may not have all the elaborate features of more expensive ones, but it makes great coffee and, afterall, that's why we have these appliances.
I have had a Braun coffeemaker for the last 20 years and loved the coffee. I am very disappointed with the updated version - the coffee is not nearly as good. I have had the basic aromamaster model which they no longer make. It brewed great coffee. It has much less flavor. I am not sure what the difference is in the brewing process - but the end product is far inferior.
I love this coffeemaker. It's fast brewing, and I especially like the pause andpour feature. But my only complaint with this product is, that when pouring a cup of coffee it drips all over. It is very annoying,so,while I like this coffeemaker, I would look for a non drip one next time.
This coffee pot, at about $35.00 makes better coffee than the $80 Cuisinart I have. I now have 2 of these, one at work and one at home.
When the coffee is brewing dribbles appear at the bottom joint where the swing basket sits and they drip down the side. This coffeemaker has so much potential, but makes rather watery coffee. This has never happened before in all the years I've been making coffee. It looks better than most coffeemakers out there and has fewer bells and whistles that tend to break with use anyway, and after reading the reviews I thought it would be good for my purposes- but not so. The plastic is made of inferior quality compared to my old Salton and I'm just hoping that I won't have to repurchase next year, but I've seen this kind of flimsy plastic in other products that break too easily or don't hold up to higher temperatures. To top it off, the coffee is really weak and I'm not a strong coffee freak but I have to use twice as much coffee as I used to to get the same strength brew. I had higher hopes for this one- too bad.
