REVIEWS

The machine works well, is easy to program, and produces good coffee.

PRO:

- The temperature control is a particularly useful addition over most models, though I wish I knew what temperatures each setting stood for. I don't like the coffee to be too hot so that it burns my tongue. I had started to pour the coffee into the travel mug before showering in the morning so that it could cool a bit. This makes that unnecessary.

CON:

- The drip pause feature (remove carafe and the spring stops it from dripping onto the platter) doesn't work very well.

DEPENDS ON YOU:

- The lid on the carafe does not pivot. It clips on, which may be helpful for letting you pour without the lid flipping up and dumping coffee out too quickly. It also makes cleaning the carafe harder. Don't know how well the snap-in tabs will hold up over time.

PARTICULAR TO REFURB:

- The refurbished unit that I bought has a large silver plug just off center on the heating platter. I returned the first for this and the second had it as well. I don't like it. It makes the carafe not sit particularly well on the platter. I'm living with this because I discarded the box and don't feel like trying to get it again. This "plug" was the reason given for returning the first one. I feel returning this one for the same reason would not result in getting one that doesn't have it. The machine works fine, but it does *not* look like an original, as Amazon's refurbished statement says it should. If the price difference between new and refurbished matters to you, this doesn't really have an effect on the functioning of the machine, but it is likely a thing you'll have to live with. (See photo for what I mean. Please ignore the coffee residue; the machine comes clean and neat, save the silver "plug.")
