This pot is a great size for 1-2 people, maybe even more if you use an average size cup. I'm EXTREMELY picky about my coffee.ask anyone who knows me. Another bonus - the pot does not leak or drip. I use a pretty good sized mug. I stopped using my Bunn coffee maker and switched to this manual drip coffee system. This system paired with a good grade of coffee makes an awesome cup of joe.
So, I went back to the drawing board. I am absolutely serious in that this simple contraption brews the best home brew I have ever tasted in MY LIFE (and I am no spring chicken, I can tell you).It may take a few minutes, but the boiling water is the key to the best brew, and the easily washable pieces insure no chemical build-up. How wrong.
I found this gem, and after almost six months, I believe I have achieved nirvana. C'est extraodinaire.If you are a coffee afficianado, you will not regret this purchase, and the price is very affordable. Each pot is fresh and delicious-- no calcium build-up or resins coating the carafe.
Being a long-time coffee-lover, I have spent most of my adult life in the pursuit of the perfect coffeemaker; always thinking, like your average American, that the more money I spent, the better brew in my cup. I also tried an aluminum expresso pot, it it was not good for the morning jolt-du-necessaire. Simplicity rules.
After spending an obscene amount on a newly-introduced thermal carafe automatic brewer that was designed by a coffee industry insider, I was disappointed to find that, as time went on, the quality of my cuppajoe had seriously declined. I tried a French press, but the grounds caused a bitter, oily taste after just a few minutes.
Electric coffee maker is not easy to clean up stains, but this one very east to clean.
I thought it would be quicker and less clean up than using my regular drip coffee maker but that's not the case.With the Melitta you have to heat the water in a separate container and stand there while you pour the heated water in the cone as it brews. I also think it taste better from the regular drip coffee maker.Still it's a good buy for the price and I think it's good to have around as a spare coffeemaker. This Melitta coffeemaker does exactly what it's designed and advertised to do. With my regular coffeemaker I just pour the water in using the carafe and turn it on. However, after it arrived and I've had a chance to use it a couple of times, I've realized my regular coffeemaker is faster and more convenient. I bought the Melitta to use when I wanted just a cup or two.
I don't drink coffee, but my husband does. This product is made in Canada. However, I needed a larger coffee maker to use when we have visitors so I would not have to make one cup at a time. It's just what I was looking for.
Yes, I could get a small electric coffee maker at Wally World for about $10, but this manual coffee maker will undoubtedly last a lot longer. The only negative is that it didn't come with a permanent filter. Also, the smaller model doesn't take up too much storage room in my kitchen cabinet.After reading some poor reviews from people who ordered this product from Ambient Weather, I ordered mine from Joe Muscle. Also, according to what I've been told, manual coffee makers make better-tasting coffee.Final note: If used properly, this product is not a fire hazard. The coffee maker arrived quickly; well packaged and undamaged.Overall, I'd say this is a good product for the money. I make his coffee one cup at a time, using a plastic cone and permanent filter placed directly over his coffee cup.
I purchased one separately, though, so all is well.I almost bought the larger 10-cup model, but changed my mind when I discovered that it uses the harder-to-find #6 filters. ROLLEYES Please read the use and care instructions that come with the coffee maker. We never have too many guests, and I prefer brewing coffee (and tea, for me) manually, so I was happy to find this coffee maker. As for clean-up, all parts are top-rack dishwasher safe.
