I am a coffee snob and have been looking for a replacement for my Cusinart grind and brew (which sucked!) which we got as a wedding present. I searched and read tons of reviews of all the machines available and wanted to spend around $100 for a quality machine. I bought this coffee maker from Bed Bath & Beyond using their 20% of coupons to meet my budget.
I just tried out the maker for the first time this morning and absolutely love the look, quality taste and long life of the hot brew!!!
Reasons I chose this machine over others were:
1. Thermos Carafe, which keeps the coffee hot w/out scorching the coffee taste.
- The opening of the Carafe was large enough to get your hand in there for easy cleaning.
- The easy pour carafe which doesn't require you to push any button or twist the top to pour yourself a cupa
- Coffee stayed hot even after 2 hours after brewing and tasted freshly brewed!!!
2. The grounds basket allows the use of the gold filter or paper. It is flat bottom basket which brews the grounds more evenly and results in better tasting coffee. There is a shower water dispenser which aid in the even water distribution.
3. The timer for programming morning coffee before work
- There is a beeper which tells you when the brewing cycle is complete (this prevents against dribbling messes on the machine base when removing the carafe to pour a cup. The beeper is also by signal when getting ready in the mornings that there is 15 minutes before I have to hit the road!!
- There is a delayed drip to pour a cup if your in a rush for your fix ;o)
- There is an indicator which shows how much time has laps since the last brew
4. Easy to clean!!
- The Cusinart Grind'n Brew was a pain in the arse to clean between brews cause the grinder will get moist during the brewing process and leave ground sludge in the grinder section!
- The grounds basket in top shelf dish washer safe but the carafe must be hand washed which is no big deal because of the design of the lid and opening size is big enough to stick your sponge and hand inside.
- Control buttons are flat and easy to wipe clean
5. It looks sleek and classy!!! Looks great on the countertop!!!
- The design fits great under cabinets and the front water pour section allowed you to fill the reservoir easily w/out having to move the machine around to reach it.A few Tips for Thermal Carafe Users:
- Preheat your thermal carafe to extend heat retention by filling with piping hot water from the sink for a few minutes before starting the brew process! People complain about these machines not keeping their coffee hot enough or for as long as claimed but it because people don't follow directions!!!
- (to the previous reviewer) heat your cup of milk in the microwave for 30-40 second before pouring a cup of coffee to maximize the temp... its not rocket science to know that adding cold liquid to hot liquid will cool the over all temp ESPECIALY if you tend to had a lot of milk like I do!!!
