This is a off brand coffee pot, it makes good coffee, and is easy to keep clean. I did purchased a gold mesh filter, i feel it makes the coffee better than the white mesh filter that comes with pot. With the high cost of coffee makers this med priced maker is very nice

Good basic coffee maker

Reviewed in the United States on June 26, 2021

Verified Purchase

Mine is the 12 cup digital. It has the circle with the screen in it. As best as I can tell it doesn't light up. that would have been good to have a green or blue display there and a way to turn it off. You really can't see the numbers in dim light. small cheap alarm clocks can do it...

It has a nice and sturdy carafe. It uses a cone paper filter if you don't use the screen one that comes with it. I think it makes coffee as good as most. Its a little light and It does need stickier feet as someone mentioned. not a deal breaker for me. Mine also shuts itself off after an hour or two I haven't timed it but others I believe said it didn't. Probably it's due to multiple amazon coffee makers being reviewed here. I was glad to see it did have an automatic off on it. Also , I have not measured it but it seems to make hotter coffee than my last one. I don't have to put it in the microwave after adding a splash of almond milk.

I don't do well without Coffee

Reviewed in the United States on May 16, 2024

Verified Purchase

Bought this coffee maker on April 23, 2024 - May 16, it quit making coffee. I had the timer set for 6:30am as I have since the day I received it, but this morning, no coffee. I looked in the reservoir, plenty of water, in the basket, plenty of coffee grounds, green light on as if it had made coffee, heating element, ice cold.

I have bought a number of expensive coffee makers over the years, most last a good long time, but I was thinking, there really isn't much to them, so why spend a bunch of money on one that isn't going to do anything more or better than an Amazon Basics unit will do? Oh yeah, quality. If you buy a cheap, made in China coffee maker, you get a cheap made in China coffee maker and 23 days later you wake up and have no f'n coffee. Looks like I'll be buying a Cuisanart.

It works ok, but very little thought was put into some parts of the design.

Reviewed in the United States on November 2, 2023

Verified Purchase

The coffee maker works fairly well, it brews a decent cup of coffee. It is easy to use and pretty easy to clean.
The reusable filter... like all reusable coffee filters, still needs an actual coffee filter to be used with it unless you want fine grounds in the bottom of your cup. I put a regular filter under the reusable one, and as you can see in my picture, there is a noticeable amount of coffee grounds that get through the reusable filter.
In addition to that, the clock part is a little weirdly sized, it seems a little too big for the hole it fits into, so the edges of the numbers are almost covered unless you look at it directly straight on. The pot pours pretty nicely, but fits into the machine quite snugly, so you have to be careful pulling it out or you can pull the whole machine off of the counter. That being said, only one of the feet on the bottom of the machine has a rubber foot in it, so it slides around very easily. It should have the rubber pad on all of the feet to keep it from sliding around.
Overall, it does what you need it to do, but it could have been designed better.

I think this is very cheaply made as I had mine for one year almost to the day and it broke. The coffee maker is still like new but the spring broke out of the filter holder and now it is unusable. I don't know what the warranty is on this coffee maker but I am truly disappointed.

Buena compra

Reviewed in Mexico on June 24, 2023

Verified Purchase

Me gustó mucho el diseño ya que la jarra es grande y puede ser usada para familias que toman mucho café (como en casa).
Tiene alarma de finalización de ciclo, se puede programar la preparación de café.
Tiene auto apagado, el café se mantiene caliente alrededor de 3 horas y se apagará.
El reloj se ve, pero no tiene luz de fondo y eso lo hace tener un punto negativo lo cual para mi opinión es sencillamente irrelevante.

Good value

Reviewed in Canada on May 10, 2023

Verified Purchase

A good coffee maker at a reasonable price. Two minor things. First, the space to pour in the water is smaller than I would like and second, it takes two hands to put the carafe back since the base does not have non skid feet and you end up pushing the base around the counter unless you hold it.

I brewed the 1st cup this evening and it worked great, coffee tasted good. I think the digital 12 cup unit is a bit bigger of a model. The only thing that would be nice is it the time display was backlit.
