I must admit I came to see whether anyone has suggestions for a metal (non-plastic) thermal carafe that fits under the filter basket and on the hot plate of a Proline, but figured I'd write a review in the mean time. My wife loves the coffee that the Proline makes, but the on/off toggle switch failed on the first machine we got in the first few months- Kitchenaid graciously replaced with a new mac ... read more

Coffee will NOT stay hot any more. No water filtering system. Coffee pots can NOT be put in dish machine - melts handle. Hard to see water level - numbers "fade". To be so expensive - should be a much better coffee pot. ... read more

Once I started roasting my own beans, the standard drip pot was no longer sufficient. The Technivorm is absurdly pricey at one level, but since I used it every day, it's quickly paying off.
The main experience is like getting a new pair of speakers or headphones: it sounded fine before, but NOW you can REALLY HEAR the range! Same with drip coffee: only the Technivorm releases the full range of ... read more

I bought this machine to replace an aging Cuisinart that was having issues. I also wanted a machine with a burr grinder and one that I could set up the night before for my morning coffee.
It's simpler to keep clean than the Cuisinart and is quieter too. After about 20 pots of varying sizes, I am happy with its ability to brew good hot, strong (enough) coffee.
I am a little concerned at th ... read more

I pot and I returned it. Horrible. NOT HOT! The carafe does not pour easily and has to be fully inverted - then it drips - which isn't so bad because its NOT HOT! ... read more

I've had the Keurig B60 machine for 5 years. I've absolutely loved it. I wanted to upgrade and put my old one in my motorhome. I was going to go with the B70, but my 2 sister in laws have it and I don't like how you have to go through the menu to change the brew setting (my husband likes the large and I like the medium). I looked into the Breville Keurig and you don't need to do this. It's the ... read more

So, right out of the box this system had problems. The first one I received came with a defective burr grinder and I had to ship it back to Krups customer service for repair. After 6 (yes, six) weeks I received my coffee maker.
So, now for the review...it makes EXCELLENT coffee. Temperature is fantastic, taste is incredible and it is simple and easy to use. However, the problem (again) is the g ... read more

I really do like this machine. It makes a surprisingly good cup of whatever it is you're wanting, be it a particular type of tea, coffee, cocoa, or espresso. I've tried the Keurig and liked it, but I consume more espresso based beverages than drip coffee. What drew me to the Tassimo was the ability to have espresso, to include milk discs to make lattes and cappucinos. The creamer discs are made of ... read more

I really like all the features this coffee pot offers however, IT CLOGS UP after every two pots of coffee and that is really a pain. You take the top off, (be careful or the beans in the holder will go everywhere)open the lid and us the little brush to scrape the clogged area. I use my small vaccum to really clean it out. I have never had to worry about this with any other coffee pot. It uses a ... read more

If you're not wanting to spend a half hour on a daily coffee ceremony this is the machine you want. As the previous poster noted, you can very clearly taste the nuances among different coffee. The pots are consistently excellent. You're never have to choke down a cup of burnt coffee again. ... read more

THIS IS THE BEST ONE CUP COFFE MAKER ON THE MARKET. I HAVE TRIED SEVERAL OTHERS AND THIS ONE CAN NOT BE BEAT. WELL WORTH THE MONEY. ... read more
