Pros & Cons
Pros
This coffee maker has some issues with a learning curve at first, but it is worth plowing through. The small frustration here is because i use the built-in scale i have to run through the steps.
The brew basket is open to the air. No lid also means that you'll get little splashes of coffee water on the counter around the unit as it brews. The quality of the coffee brewed by this machine leads me to forgive its shortcomings.
The borosilicate glass is more sturdy than it appears and probably less apt to break than most glass carafes. The carafe has a glass handle, the water compartment has a modern light display. There’s no replacement for the glass coffee carafe.

It does look cool for the price point.
Almost didn't buy it because it wasn't cheap but for coffee this good it is definitely worth the price paid.
Competitiveness
I was debating between this, the breville, or the technivorm and i think i made the right choice (and saved money!
It makes great coffee relative to other machines i've tried and the design is great for the price.
I have owned several coffee makers, from different manufacturers, and this situation seems endemic to the machines.
It takes some finesse but you can really tweak the settings on this machine to make a pot of coffee that will rival a good pour... Read More
