Makes great tasting coffee but lacks some key features.
I am a self-confessed coffee snob. I love to try whole beans from favorite small roasteries. Unfortunately, my Keurig just didnât do those coffees justice, so I bought this one. There is much to like here. Itâs easy to use and clean. I love that it makes hot or iced coffee and that it has different settings and a separate brew basket for tea. I love that it can make one to 8 cups. I love that it auto-senses which brew basket is inserted and offers programming options accordingly. I especially love that it brews a truly great cup of coffee. It does have a few limitations, however. The warming plate doesnât come on unless you brew a full 8-cup carafe. Thatâs an issue on mornings when I only want a mug or two. I paid this price to avoid microwaving great coffee into over cooked coffee just to warm it up. I donât love that the warming plate only stays on for 60 minutes. I do want an auto shut off safety feature but an hour isnât long enough to finish a full carafe. Overall, though, Iâm pleased with it. The great taste of fresh, well-brewed coffee more than makes up for a couple of small annoyances.

Do not buy
I’m returning my second Perfect Brew this week. On the first one, the plunger did not work, so coffee and tea never released from the filter basket. The second one slowly leaks water all over the counter during and after the brew cycle. There seems to be a real quality control issue with these coffee makers.On the plus side, the coffee that does brew is so good that I considered keeping it with the leak, but decided the hassle and possible damage to my kitchen was not worth it.

Smoothest Homemade Coffee I have Ever Tasted
This coffeemaker makes the best, smoothest homemade coffee I have ever made. The unit is well constructed and engineered. I also like the thin design. This unit has certainly elevated my coffee drinking experience at home and am exceptionally pleased with it.

Great machine!
I love it! Makes it so easy to brew whatever kind of beverage I like, whether coffee or tea. Looks so sleek on my countertop too.

too much automation
Bought this because the reviews said it makes great coffee. I make 2 mugs of coffee at breakfast, using 700 mLs of water (about 1/2 carafe), which screws thing up because the coffeemaker is programmed to make only a full carafe. So I get a message to add more water which flashes the entire time. After about 2 minutes a timer start counting down then counting up, have no idea why, but the brewing process stops. At some point the process restarts. My first mug is Luke-warm, the second mug, about 15 minutes later is hot. I’m guessing the carafe warming unit doesn’t turn on right away.There is one control, a large knob which does everything. Think of a steering wheel that when tilted left or right activates the turn signals and when tilted up or down turns on the parking lights or headlights. A bit tricky. I called customer service and they told me to make a full pot of coffee.

Donât Buy
Iâll start off by saying this coffee machine looks great on my counter. Looks arenât everything. With that said I will be promptly returning it. My number one issue with this machine is that when making coffee the warming plate does not come on unless you choose the full carafe setting. This is completely absurd for a coffee maker that is $300. If itâs the weekend yes, I will brew a full carafe because Iâm leisurely hanging out having coffee all morning. During the week I only need to brew the 8 or maybe the 12 oz option which means the warming plate does not come on and the brewed coffee is warm at best. Especially as the coffee sits in the carafe waiting until Iâm ready for a second cup. At first I thought my new machine was defective, but no, the designers and engineers actually built it this way. I wonât say much about the recommended scoop requirements for tea and coffee because I know everyone has different tastes as far as strength of brew. I found the recommended scoops to be way off. Iâm back to using my very inexpensive coffee maker because the coffee is good and the warming plate comes on no matter what size pot I brew.

I am a barista now
Oh. My. Gosh. This has created a monster. The over ice function is probably my favorite. Makes perfectly brewed iced coffee that is out of this world. Itâs easy to use. Easy to clean. So versatile and Iâm so happy with this purchase.

Excellent coffee maker!
Absolutely love this coffee maker! There is a noticeable difference in the quality of this coffee and a standard drip maker or a Keurig, even when using just our everyday coffee (we like Community Coffee dark roast). There are just two of us in the house and it’s nice to be able to make a small pot in the morning (enough for us to both have two cups) and I love that it’s easy to make an excellent single cup that is so much better than a Keurig. I have also used it for hot tea (I did adjust for their recommended amount the second time) and I’m looking forward to making cold brew next Summer.1 thing I will note is that the buttons around the dial are extremely sensitive and it’s easy to accidentally touch one while you are adjusting time or brew settings. I read another review talking about setting a delay brew and that’s what came to mind is that it would be very easy to hit descale accidentally. I would recommend setting the delay time before putting the grounds in. (I have ours start the same time every morning so once the time is set you just have to hit delay brew, it remembers the time).
