Customer Review: Love it
Makes great coffee, much easier to clean than the older model. The instructions say to clean the area where grounds fall into the basket; this is really easy to do if you use a nipple brush. Place a bowl under basket area than brush grounds down into bowl - done. Much easier than the instructions. It does take a few pots to find the right strength of coffee. We have found the medium setting, 10 cups. Then use 12 cups of water makes the perfect cup.
Customer Review: Disappointed
I just returned my second unit, so needless to say I am disappointed. The first didn't work at all. The second worked (sort of), but 4 out of 5 times the door popped open mid-cycle. This resulted in coffee grounds landing on the counter and the brewing cycle interrupted. There's no way to tell the unit to "pick up where you left off", so it took lots of effort to replace some of the water and re-calculate how many additional beans needed to be ground to accommodate the desired amount of coffee. I spent 30 minutes this morning and still didn't have a full pot of coffee. That's when I decided to "cry uncle" and give up. The grind and brew is a good idea, but the execution needs work. Even when it works, it takes way too long to brew a full pot, and the pouring feels like it takes a lifetime. If it sits under a cabinet (probably typical), it has to be moved every day to add water (I think this means the "profile" is too tall). And the right side view for the water level is awkward. Maybe the next generation will be better, but for now I'm going back to something simpler and more dependable to provide that much-needed pot of morning coffee.
