Looks good, coffee tastes good, and very convenient, Disappointed Date: 2008-01-24 | Rating: 2 I had high hopes for this coffeemaker. I was replacing a beloved Krups which finally died after 4 years of constant use. I don't like scorched coffee, so I wanted a thermal carafe. My husband doesn't like the slow pour typical of thermal carafes, so I thought this might be a great solution. It's not. It does pour quickly. However, the "thermal" coffee reservoir is useless. One can program the heat plate to stay on for up to four hours, and the coffee stays HOT and burned tasting. I have mine programmed to stay on for one hour and the coffee is too cool to drink after 90 minutes. This machine would be a reasonable choice for someone who wants a lot of coffee ready to serve quickly all at once, but it's not a good choice for someone like me who likes to drink their morning pot over a four hour morning. It's going back and I am going to get a more traditional thermal coffee maker. Unreliable Date: 2009-02-25 | Rating: 2 My problem with this unit is it's unreliability. I love the concept, and when it works - this thing is the best coffee maker I've ever owned. Unfortunately I've now gone through 2 of them. Each time they just stop working. I'm guessing it's electrical - either a switch, or something with the heater. It's too much of a pain to send it back to get serviced. I hoped my first one was a lemming, but my second one has just done the same thing. Googling I found this is a common issue. Shame - if they could solve that, this thing would be unbeatable. Too Bad . . . Date: 2009-06-01 | Rating: 2 We too thought the concept was great. We have now gone through two of these machines and both just stopped working. Waste of money. Great product with TERRIBLE reliability Date: 2010-01-19 | Rating: 1 Third one I have owned just died, and like the other times I had not kept a receipt and they said it was manufactured more than 3 years ago so it was out of warranty. None were more than a year old. I love the coffee maker but not at $100/year. Buy two, keep the receipts and plan on dealing with LONG replacement times under warranty. Look around at reviews, this product is notoriously unreliable.
