The coffee is more tasty, rich and full comparing with brewing with coffee filter. This is a great coffee brewer!

This is really fantastic coffee maker. It brews the coffee in seconds, I have been using it for almost 8 months with great success, but...

1. it does not have drip-stop which means that if you remove the carafe the coffee drips (or pours) on the hot plate. Why this coffee maker does not have simple mechanical drip-stop?

2. the carafe is very strange and 7 out of 10 times I spill the coffee all over the counter

if BUNN fixes these two tiny issues, this can be THE coffee maker

My roommate recommended this coffeemaker when we were searching for coffeemakers recently. I have to say I have really enjoyed the coffee that has been brewed by this coffee maker. The system makes coffee pretty quickly (about 5-10 minutes) and does not have a heater at the bottom of the carafe, but the carafe is insulated (you know it's big and metal) so it stays pretty warm for hours. Since the coffee is insulated, you do not risk the coffee getting burned ... The water when it is distributed/spread over the coffee basket it is dripped outward (over the entire basket) ... (I'm not doing it justice, I know)...

Some people have mentioned that the 8 cups in this coffee brewer is the same amount as a 10 cup coffee maker (because they measure their cups differently) so don't let it alarm you that  this is only 8 cups.

The package that the coffee brewer came in was the coffee brewer, the carafe, the basket, a set of filters (so if you're really excited, you don't need to have your own set), a lid, so you can serve it separately (say on the table when you're having breakfast), and a "cleaner" - crystals or something to help with the maintenance of the coffee brewer.

Cons:
It does not have a timer - no, you have to wake up and flip the switch on the machine ... boo hoo

I've had a few single cup brewers, most recently one of the (expensive) Keurig K-Cup Brewers, and before that a previous Hamilton Beach single cup brewer (which I also loved).  this one is the best of them all.  The pump in the Keurig was constantly going out - very disappointing for such an expensive brewer.  Keurig knows that have a problem, so they'll replace the brewer (we had 3 of them) because its in their best interest to have you buying K Cups.  So we gave up on the Keurig and went with this Hamilton Beach brewer...and are not looking back.  Makes a great cup of coffee at a fraction of the price of a K Cup.  Only takes maybe 30-45 seconds longer than a K-Cup.  The unit is EXTREMELY well designed - they thought of almost everything.  I also use it to heat water for tea.  The only reason I am not giving it 5 stars is because its not level when it sits on the counter...it seems to lean forward slightly and its a little wobbly on ts rubber feet.  Not that its going to fall over, but they just need to work on the design of the feet on the bottom.  also, if you want to use a paper filter instead of the scoops, the small #1 filters will fit perfectly in the lower brew screen.

Pros:
- Brew your own coffee, ground the way you want.
- WAY less expensive than a K-Cup
- No plastic into the waste stream with every cup (like the K-Cups)
- You can compost your grounds if you're into that
- Brew temp is plenty hot.
- Can be used to heat water for tea/cocoa

Con
- Leans slightly forward
- a little wobbly - not bad, just not as steady on its feet as it should be.

Overall, I highly recommend this product.

We've had our coffee maker for several months now and it is absolutely makes the BEST coffee.  It is such a joy to start the day with the perfect cup of coffee, so glad we purchased this brewer.

Hot coffee anyone?  If you like your coffee hot, this is the coffeemaker to get.  I did quite a bit of research before buying this coffeemaker, as I do enjoy a fine cup of coffee in the morning, as does my husband.  I paid more for lesser quality machines.  My only gripe with this is that you cannot set it up the night before.  But that is really not a problem for me, unless I was having a lazy morning, as a rule, I love my coffee beans fresh ground in the morning anyway.  For people not as fussy as I am, this is a great coffee maker and I've had mine for years without any problem.

My husband bought me the Mr Coffee Single Serve Coffee Brewer powered by Keurig and I absolutely love it. It works perfectly at a fraction of the cost of most brewers. I love that it has the reservoir and you can set it to not heat constantly, so that you're not wasting energy. It will stay on for 2 hrs and them shut itself off after non-use. I highly recommend this brewer if you want great quality machine for less money.

I love my new coffee brewer! Am using it almost excessively to try out all the different flavors out there!

This is an awesome product and brews a great cup of coffee! I bought this after a nightmare of purchasing, trying single brew coffee makers that left me unsatisfied! It is somewhat old fashion, but there is nothing to fail in a manual brew. I do miss the convenience of push a button and walk away, but I am used to it now and love the consistently of a Great Melita brewed cup of coffee. And, you get to use your own coffee!!!

I can give some credit to people who complain about the carafe, and that you have to give it a good shake to get all the water out. Is it worth a star? No. It makes great coffee, fast. Compared to most garbage you buy in stores, its a top notch brewer.

We've owned several cheap coffee pots throughout the years as well as four Keurigs. We've loved our Keurigs for the convenience, but this is probably our favorite of all of the coffee makers we've owned. It brews the pot very fast and coffee tastes better than the other brewers we've used. I was actually surprised that there was a difference in taste, but there really was. It kind of reminds me of coffee you get in a good diner. Very smooth and just the right temperature. I'm not a coffee brewing snob, but this really makes an excellent cup of coffee. I've also read that they have great customer service if something goes wrong so that's why we picked this brewer over the others that we were considering.

I LOVE THIS BREWER!

I have a Cuisinart K-cup Machine and I do use that for the most part, but sometimes I just want a STRONG cup of coffee with fresh grounds instead of the pre-ground stuff in the K-cups. It works great and I can brew a large (10+ oz) cup of really BOLD coffee using the BOLD setting. Tastes great, easy to clean, and small so I can store it away when not in use.

I highly recommend it!!

I have had this unit now for 3 months it brews an excellent single cup of coffee, better than a Keruig or Senseo both of which I also own.

The design is a bit quirky but not a problem. The water goes in the front in a draw like device and that has to be closed firmly.  I mention that because if you don't do that the coffee maker will appear to be defective and sputter. I made that mistake only to be embarrassed by customer service when I realized it a user problem and the maker (dumb me).  I give this high marks for making coffee using grinds, less so when using the Pod adapter that is included.

Bottom line is this is a worth while purchase and as noted it brews a better cup of coffee than the Keruig or pod maker, again both of which I own.

Wonderful coffee maker! Coffee has no bitterness due to how it's brewed and the temperature is the right kind of hot for coffee.  I also really like how this coffee pot pours and the pause and serve feature. It is not wide but on the tall side so you need counter clearance for this style. Truly, a quality coffee brewer.

I love this coffee maker.  It makes a great cup of coffee and that's all that's really important.
It makes the coffee just a bit stronger than my old Mr Coffee / Kureg did, using the same brand K cups.  I think this is because it seems to slow drip the water through the cup instead of pushing it through under pressure.
Also love that it will make up to a 12 ounce cup instead on just the normal 10 ounce.

The only issue I have is with the manual.  It is not written very clearly at all.  You need to read it several times to get the drift of what it's trying to convey.  I think a little more time and/or a better translator would be a nice touch.
