Red Hot!,
We had no need for a new coffee pot. The free one from Gevelia was working just fine. However, on a recent trip to K-mart we caught this one on sale for just under 40 bucks, and it’s RED! We’ve slowly been building up a counter top of red kitchen appliances, so the coffee maker fits right in!
Easy to clean! The mouth of the pitcher is as wide as the base, so it’s easy to get your hand inside to clean it out unlike some. Few buttons, so it’s easy to program too. Very light weight, so it’s also easy to move the maker around if needed. No complaints about speed either. I never feel like I’m waiting on it to finish. One small complaint, but it’s nothing major…there is no room for going over the 12 cup limit. It will overflow! Some makers have a little room for you to overfill, but not this one! No biggie, just don’t overfill!
I also like the wide karaff on this one. A lot of pitchers have a weird karaff that always causes you to spill a few drops when pouring that first cup. Not this one! Clean up of the coffee ground chamber is easy too. I suggest investing in one of those permanent copper reusable filters. They work really well with this one. I have yet to end up with grounds in the coffee.

|It’s a Well Red Coffee Maker,
Had an old Braun that kept clogging up and leaking water all over the counter. Had sticker shock when I started to shop online and other places for a replacement. Something relatively simple with a decent capacity as one cup of hot coffee for me equals about four cups as measured on the carafe. It brews quick and is pretty painless to use. It can use a permanent filter(not included) or paper filters and I’ve used both. If you want a stronger cup of coffee then you need to add more coffee grounds or use a stronger blend. The brew cycle is not adjustable for strength. It’s solid, well built, and the glass carafe feels easier to handle than the typical glass pot. Easy to Clean. A Good Basic Design.

|Excellent – Better than Expected,
Looks great and is very well designed, functionally. Don’t let the low price fool you. I was surprised at the overall quality compared to others I have owned (I go through at least 1 coffee maker every year).
All the essential features and Brews fast too!
Keep making these, I will buy another when this one is done.
