“I've owned several high-end coffee makers, and within the first sip of the first brew, I knew that this one was by far the pack leader- Incredibly smooth, and compatible with my higher elevation (6700 feet)”
“Wanted to love machine but coffee from it lacked flavor. Increasing the amount of coffee ground used by 50% (which, btw, affects 'price' of unit), the color increased (and it seemed like caffeine also) but flavor was still substantially weaker than from my cone filter apparatus (at normal coffee ground amount). Two other users had exact same reaction. Seems like the flat bottom filter is main problem.”
“The coffeemaker looks great on my counter, and the coffee it makes is excellent. There are however issues with the carafe that prevent this from being a fantastic coffeemaker - the carafe flicks water att you when you pull it out after brewing, the coffee splatters when pouring with the lid on, and the lid retains water after pouring/washing.”
“I have been experimenting with coffee for years. I have had multiple coffee makers and pride myself on making thoughtful pour overs. This was a terrible user experience. It's cumbersome, occupies a lot of counter space, the bloom function is not optimal for all quantities of coffee, and the carafe pours terribly. I was really disappointed. I wanted to love it, but alas. I've returned the product.”
“The angle of the plug limits its configuration on the counter. Is it possible to get one that orients the other direction? Also, the machine seems to start brewing before I hit the start button.”
