Gevi 4-Cup Coffee Maker with Auto-Shut Off, Small Drip Coffeemaker Super Automatic Espresso Machines Compact Coffee Pot Brewer Machine with Cone Filter, Glass Carafe and Hot Plate

Small, reliable and easy to use
It took quite awhile for us to find a 1-2 cup coffee maker. This one makes two medium cups. About 14 ounces. Perfect for a couple. It is easy to use and has a built in filter so you don’t have to use coffee filters. However, we use paper filters because we sometimes buy finely ground coffee. In that case the included filter lets fine coffee grounds settle into the filter holder and can clog it up. We now use #2 Melita filters that fit perfectly. When the Gevi coffee was new it made very hot coffee. Too hot, but Gevi apparently knew what they were doing. After a few months there is some loss in efficiency that has made the temp just right. In the two years we have used it (about 50 cups per week), it still works well. Based on my experience, I can definitely recommend this small coffee maker.

Good little coffee pot, if a little noisy
As my coffee consumption has decreased I needed a small coffee pot. I don’t need much in the way of bells and whistles and this has none. A standard small drip coffee maker, there’s no clock or timer or modes, just provide water, beans, electricity, about 20 minutes and a #2 paper cone filter. I was a little surprised the first time I used it at how loud it could be. A series of fairly loud clicks happens while it’s brewing, no idea why, but it doesn’t seem to be doing any harm.Having used it daily for a couple of months the sound doesn’t bother me, the coffee is hot and it has an automatic shut off after an couple hours. I also haven’t experienced any drips onto the hot plate, which is very nice.

Best Coffee Maker I ever had
I have never written an Amazon review before, but I like this Gevi 4-cup drip coffee maker so much I felt compelled to do so. I’ve had a number of other machines and even made single cups with coffee bags (like tea bags). My most recent machine was a 4-cup Mr. Coffee. A good coffee maker but the hot plate burned the coffee in the carafe if it sat on there for more than 30 minutes. I was looking for a coffee maker that would NOT burn the coffee. Plus, I like that the Gevi shuts itself off after two hours — on occasion I forgot to shut the Mr. Coffee off and it ran for hours and hours. But, the real test with Gevi was to let the last cup of coffee sit in the carafe for those two hours then drink it. It was NOT burned and tasted as good as the first cup. The carafe makes two good sized cups and that’s about all I want in the morning and I don’t want to rush back to the coffee maker right away for the 2nd cup. I want to drink it leisurely. It’s a good looking machine, I like the no drip spout. The only awkward thing for me is it sits under a shelf in a coffee/drink bar. I have to pull the entire machine out to lift the water tank cover so I can pour water in. Also, there’s a plastic bar in the middle of the water tank that requires one to be careful when pouring in water. But those are minor points. This machine makes a great cup of coffee and keeps it tasting great for hours. No burning. I’d highly recommend this Gevi coffee maker.

It brews just fine but there are some usability issues
I’m the only coffee drinker in my home so a smallish drip machine is what I prefer (over pod machines). After many years my old 4 Cup Mr. Coffee gave up the ghost so I thought I’d give this inexpensive model a try. After 3 days here are my opinions. It brews coffee just fine. I don’t taste any difference when compared to the old machine. My main issues with this model are the fill tank and the carafe. The fill lid is very small which makes it easy to spill water all over when filling. The top hole in the carafe is about the size of a racket-ball and is very difficult to hand wash. You’d have to be a toddler to fit your hand in there to clean it. Also the reusable filter has no tab or handle. So you have to pull out the basket and tip it to release the filter which can get messy. Also the reusable filter is typical of any other…which is to say it allows some of the finer grounds to pass though. If that bothers you the #2 disposable cones are a must. In summary, it makes coffee but is not as user friendly has a similar Mr. Coffee drip machine.

I like this little coffee maker.
