Because of the quality and it make 8 cup and retail from 500 to 700. How much did you pay for your other one?

Way too much money, paid $49 for mine! No idea why this one is priced so ridiculously high.

I could not see paying that much $ for a pod maker... as I found that the filter does not need to be sealed... I make sure I do not over fill with coffee and tamp it down so it is snug in the device. I have a old Starbucks Barista and they no longer make this coffee maker... I am not sure what kind of espresso maker you have but I put it up in the mechanism carefully and turn... wait until the steam/heat has decreased and lift carefully out of its tray etc...

PS - They say you can find the replacement information on the bottom of your coffee pot. I'll have to check it out. ;)

My question for you is why you would want to buy this coffeemaker? It has poor ergonomics and makes a less than mediocre cup of coffee. It would be a terribly disappointing device for half the price they are trying to extort from you. Don't worry about the overpriced filters, find a coffeemaker that will deliver a decent cup of coffee first.

I don't know, I think it is very similar but I definitely recommend a drip coffee maker over a keurig. I'd take a $19.95 drip unit from the cheap crap store over this thing.

An appliance might draw a higher wattage momentarily, so either get a larger inverter, or a new 220volt coffee maker. On second thought, this black box is ugly and not to be seen in top of a kitchen counter. Get a new coffee machine!

Get a different machine. I bought a $20 stove top unit at IKEA that makes 6 cups of espresso. It's stainless steel and wonderful. My experience with the Espressione was awful too.

I don't know I bought this as a gift for my sister. She loves it and he coffee it makes. I am sure you could probaly find that info on thier web site or maybe if you call them. I will tell you the coffees are not available at least in my area expect by mail order. I get them from bed bath and beyond. I always use a 20% off coupon and they offer free shipping on them. I am sure you can buy them on amazon as well. I did a lot of research before I bought this machine and it has lived up to its reputation as a good one.

Don't use an "all-in-one" grind and brew machine. Purchase a $20 grinder, and an $80 coffee maker. This particular machine is hard to maintain and is messy.

Sorry, I bought a more expensive coffee maker, its a Mr. Coffee, with the stainless steel carafe. Ours has a removable lid but no window to see how much coffee is left. If your interested in buying this one I would check the Black & Decker Website. Good Luck!

I went to bed bath and beyod and found out that the carafe for this coffee make is the same exact one for the Oster JBXSS41. I found the replacement on ereplacemetparts.com under Oster. They list that model the carafe is $8.97 but shipping is as much if not more. but if you truly want the right carafe this is the ONE. I ordered 2 to be on the safe side incase they stop making them.

LOL! Welcome to the club Grergory! I've had mine for about a year. Although it makes very good coffee I like mine quite strong. The brew basket on this unit isn't sized for "too much" ground coffee, so if you want it strong you have to make it in smaller batches. Also, be sure to take the shower head out and clean it after brewing as the grinds float to the top and stick to it.Jon GordonI know this is a bummer, but this is just one of the short comings of this unit. Better by a replacement basket now, if you can get one, as Bodum isn't making them anymore and if yours cracks like mine did, then you'll be out of luck. LOL! Welcome to the club Grergory!

I have no idea. I understand they cost $40. This is what I do:To make your own coffee pods without purchasing the pod maker for $40, purchase a 2"x2 1/2" Galvanized Hex Bushing at your local hardware store (2/1/2 x2 1/2 would work better but I couldn't find that). Place the pod on the top part with the lip and push in carefully so the edges of the pod are on the lip. Put the coffee in the pod. With a steam iron, steam over the pod for 5 seconds or so. Then put the top part of the pod over the bottom part with the coffee in it and iron to close it up.I was going to buy the PVC version of this but was told that it wouldn't hold up with the heat from the iron. The metal one cost me $6.85 - better than $40!! I have no idea. I understand they cost $40.

You could make less, just put less coffee and water in. You'd have to experiment to get it exactly the strength you like.

New serious problem! Just received email from Bonavita. I am correct. They know this is a BIG problem. New design will have opening lid. Personally I think this has been a serious health hazard. Folks we all need to complain. If you test you will be digusted how crappy it is inside that lid! We paid $150 for a dangerous, unhealthy coffee maker. If you think I am exaggerating I wish you well and happy trails. A law suit against Bonavita would not surprise me. The problem is pretty obvious. The fact you can't see it makes even more serious.

I don't know but I can't imagine paying $150 more. The Thermal Model is a good machine but the only problem I have with it is that you have to microwave the coffee when it comes out, even if you do it immediately. I suppose you can only get it so hot unless you have continual heat from a burner. It's not that big of deal and I really like the machine.

It has doubled and the tims store which you can buy it at 14.99 a can has been out of stock since may. This is nothing but price gouging and I refuse to pay this amount. Your coffee just isn't THAT good
