Awesome mini coffee maker for the price
I bought this to have in my bedroom to make coffee first thing in the morning. The size is perfect for a small table & it’s easy to use & clean. The coffee turns out great as well. I would recommend leaving the lid open after use so that the reservoir can dry during the time it’s not being used. This machine can be used with any 14 ounce cup easily. The travel mug is great too. Furthermore, the machine has auto shut off which is a nice feature to have.

Perfect Pot
A well made coffee pot that will last years. Brews a nice pot of coffee also keeping the coffee nice and warm for an hour or so. I live the fact that it is made simple and functional with quality materials. Bravo

Love it!
It percolates and makes coffee. The rest is up to you. I use freshly ground beans . I’ve timed how long it takes experimented with the amount of coffee I like for the cup of coffee I enjoy. One big tip I can share with anyone who doesn’t have experience with this kind of coffee maker. You need to season it kind of like a cast iron skillet. Fill The basket and percolate it for a good hour. Let it sit all night with that strong coffee in there and from here on out just rinse it no need to scrub with soap and water. I do run a small brush threw the stem about once a week to ensure it doesn’t get clogged up over time with buildup. With a little care this will be the last time you’ll ever buy a coffee maker. I am the only coffee drinker in my house so I generally only make four cups but I can make 8 cups when I have company that may enjoy coffee. Keep in mind this is referring to 8 oz cups Most people drink almost if not double that amount in their morning coffee mug. That’s something you should consider and buy the right size coffee pot for your household needs. It’s not as convenient or time efficient as a drip coffee pot. But in my opinion and taste and those are very subjective to each person with that in mind , this makes a much better cup of coffee and worth the extra effort to me. From the time I start till I’m pouring my coffee in the cup including grinding the beans is about 20 min. I set a timer and its ready when I go out the for work. Also you should let it sit a few minutes before pouring so any grounds that sneak through the basket settle to the bottom and will not end up in your cup unless you pour the last little bit in it, If you use a coarse ground coffee you don’t need a filter so in my opinion this gives you a much better cup of coffee because the filter takes away some of the oils that add flavor to your coffee. But if you’re happy with store-bought already ground coffee, get the filters that they sell for these and it works just fine. After reading through some of the negative reviews ones that says this makes a horrible cup of coffee that is 100% user error. I did see reports of the electric one leaking keep in mind I am reviewing the stove top version One lady said the glass on top broke there any number of reasons for this but I have not had any issues with mine possibly she got a cracked one? A few people stated that the handle caught on fire or melted I think this would really be subject to the size of your burner or possibly an electric burner If you had a larger diameter circle of fire or heat than the outside diameter of your actual coffee pot this could very easily be an issue. So use a little caution and place your coffee pot so the handle isn’t directly over flames reaching around the pot or heat traveling straight up from an electric burner to the handle. With a gas stove this could be circumvented with placement as well as not turning the heat up so high that the circle of fire is bigger than the coffee pot. Someone said the experienced wobble as if the metal was probably too thin and it didn’t work right for them I’m guessing they had it on a electric burner? I have not experienced this on my gas burner. People also mention the metallic taste one person even said hopefully after a few uses and washings that will go away that will not go away if you do not season your coffee maker. From what I saw The majority of bad reviews for this coffee maker come from user error on the opinion based on lack of experience with this type of coffee maker. I am not saying this is the best one ever made It is a moderate priced stove top stainless steel percolator. The one I received the build quality was fine It does what is designed to do. If you say your pot makes crappy pasta chances are you are just not good at cooking pasta take a little time and learn how to do it right and you will enjoy it.

The coffee is hot.
I really enjoyed how quick and clean this coffee maker is. The coffee, especially with the travel cup was perfect for my cruise experience. No more weak or warm coffee from the boat.

Good for the price
This coffee maker is good for the price. It makes piping-hot coffee. It’s a small footprint for limited counter space. I like that it doesn’t create a wet mess from condensation after a brew and doesn’t continue to drip minutes later. The bottom is plastic, not metal, so it won’t rust like my last one did.*Just one issue – it seems a bit fragile, especially the filter. Thin plastic and mesh feels very fragile, so best to be careful when cleaning. I suppose if it broke apart you could use paper filters instead.

No conocÃa la marca y no habÃa opiniones de este producto, por lo que tuve mis dudas, pero me alegra haberlo comprado. Se siente muy pesada para ser de cristal y es bonita, aparenta un mayor precio del que tiene. Al ser todo cristal hay que ser extra cuidadoso porque si se astilla o se rompe, no tendrÃ¡ soluciÃ³n

LlegÃ³ en perfectas condiciones. El cafÃ© que se prepara es delicioso, el instructivo tiene una tabla que sugiere cuantas cucharadas de cafÃ© usar dependiendo el nÃºmero de tazas; eso puede variar dependiendo del gusto. Para los que nos gusta un sabor fuerte sugiero usar una cucharada extra de los indicado. Los Ãºnicos inconvenientes: hay que ser muy cuidadoso al lavarlo porque el pivotÃ© es de cristal, ademÃ¡s de que requiere un lavado muy meticuloso principalmente en los tubos por donde sube el cafÃ© y no dura mucho tiempo caliente la bebida pero se puede recalentar el cafÃ© retirando los pivotes. La recomiendo
