How does it compare with the Clever coffee dripper?

The Bonavita bottom is way over-designed to compensate for sliding stopping mechanism. The porcelain is great, but I can't tell difference between my brews between CCD and the Bonavita. Size-wise they are about the same- I brew two portions so I fill it to the very top. The white plastic lid would easily be stained if I were to use it (I used the lid from my CCD.)

I prefer the Clever Coffee Dripper because 1) it works on the pressure principal to drain the coffee into the cup - no messing with a lever) and 2) the bottom of the CCC fits over a larger mug (I use a BIG mug) which the Bonavita does not.

The bonavita It is porcelain which is good if you don't like plastic. The valve on the clever coffee maker is actuated when you set it on the cup. The bonavita has a manual valve. Be sure to close it or you will spill coffee all over. It took three spils before I learned my lesson. Both are good. The bonavita is more attractive, the clever is easier to use

My opinion it is the same other than the coffee only contacts ceramic and silicon( valve ) instead of plastic. Also, the ceramic pulls some of the heat out of the brew unless you preheat

When Bonavita worked it better. It held the temperature of water better and I Prefer no plastic even if it is BPA free.

I do not own a clever dripper. I have seen them up close. I have owned the Bonavita for around 3 weeks. based on that experience I think the Bonavita is better made.

Mostly just style, size, and portability. I got the pixie because I didn't want it to take up as much room and so I could take it with me when travelling. I like the frother separate. They both brew all of the options, the pixie has a flip up shelf for a larger cup or glass to fit under. I did my research on Nespresso.com and purchased on

Can't compare, because I haven't had both, but my Delonghi model consistently produces good coffee. It's stronger than brewed/poured-over coffee but not as bitter as espresso. So far, I'm very pleased with my electric model.

I would say better. It makes exactly the same quality of coffee, but this one has the window on the lid and that does make it a little more convenient to use.

1) The ec220 looks like a $150 machine and the ec155 looks like a $50 machine, 2) the ec220 has about 1.5 inches greater clearance than the ec155 and lets you use regular mugs, and even some tall mugs if you remove the drip tray. I have taken both machines apart and can vouch they are both the same internally. I found the ec220 for less, but I would still spend the extra $20 on the ec220. That said, I would get the Poemia black for $120 if I could go back in time. :-)

No. In fact I have noticed that the coffee tastes better than the drip machines. Try it and see how your coffee tastes!

Sadly, no--which is why it is inferior to the original. Again, EVERY cup you pour will drip coffee down the outside of the spout and down the front of the carafe, eventually finding its way to the base. If you do not wipe the carafe every time you pour a cup, you will leave a coffee ring on wherever you leave the carafe.

I like the taste a little better than the automatic drip. I like my coffee a little stronger too. The Percolator takes up much less space, another plus!!

Hi M. Kelly...........I love my Warning Coffee Maker. I use any grind that I want and I especially like the fine grind - works great! What is really nice about this coffee maker is that the carafe does not drip like most makers today.

There is nothing like a cup of percolator coffee. I also love stove top non- electric coffeepots. Both make the smoothest tasting coffee. Once you have a well made cup you will never want drip again. I suggest Faberware coffee makers not this one

I absolutely prefer a percolator over a drip... this is a good coffee pot... we could spend ever so much more money for a percolator or a press but this pot is a good daily coffee maker.

i tried the krups after having one for many years. the old one was perfect. however, the new one is chinese and has a lousy design. if they go from a great design and a solid brand to a lousy design that leaks, is almost impossible to fill without a funnel...very hard to clean and doesnt make good coffee, then i am done with the brand...good luck..

I just got mine this year - the replacement for the first one that was old. This one is even better. It has a separated filter so you can make 2 kinds of coffee (into the 2 cups it comes with) if you wish. It makes great coffee and keeps it warm without burning it.

I don't have a percolator anymore (my favorite coffee brewer) but suspect the answer is yes. I'm using Mr Coffee drip coffee maker and just put the tablet in the empty basket and run through the cycle. I then run the brew cycle twice more with nothing in the basket, does a great job.

I have had a variety of Nespresso machines over the years and found them to be extremely convenient to use and the coffee they produced was very acceptable. The Jura replicates the simplicity of the Nespresso and in my subjective opinion provides much better tasting coffee. 1. Convenience : Jura Micro 1 equals the Nespresso 2. Taste of Coffee : Jura Micro 1 exceeds the Nespresso 3. Cost of Acquisition : Nespresso is cheaper than the Jura Micro 1 4. Cost per unit of coffee : Jura Micro 1 is cheaper than the Nespresso

I prefer this coffee pot over drip models, and I have had many drip pots for many years. Drip pots never were hot enough for me, this pot keeps the coffee hot for as long as you want, no auto shut off. As far as taste many prefer a regular pot to drip. I think the coffee tastes great.

I will say now that the glass pot is fantastic. This is true mostly because you can see how much coffee you have made well in advance of over filling. It is also great because the pot is calibrated - those bumps artfully relay how much water per scoop of coffe grounds you might want. This helps to make the best custom pot of coffee through the drip system with out measuring water in an additional step.
