3.0 out of 5 starsBASIC & SMALL coffee maker that works
Reviewed in the United States on February 24, 2019
This was a rushed purchase for me as my Mr. Coffee maker stopped working after a year. And to avoid going into convulsions I ordered this coffee maker without paying too much attention to the details, although I read some reviews which are generally positive. I have only had it for three days but have used it several times and four things of note 1) this baby is SMALL... my fault for not paying attention to the details but did not realize it would look like a miniature doll house addition (previous coffee maker was 10 cups so keep that in mind) 2) you need to make sure you align coffee holder/filter so it fits properly before brewing to avoid what happened to us which is brewed coffee all over the counter and floor - there is not a noticeable difference in placement so you might think it is aligned when it is not 3) includes a filter so no need to buy paper filters but it does not securely attach so don’t take out entire holder and shake in trash can because filter will also go into trash can and 4) it works - yup, the sucker actually brews coffee no different than my $60 piece of junk that broke in a year. I do not have high hopes that this will last the year but at $14.99 I can live with that.
CONS: see above but main thing for me is size as it is small. I only drink cold coffee so I am used to a larger coffee maker, at least 10 cups... which I store in the refrigerator. I also have a Keurig which brews one cup at a time and like the keurig I have to brew several times with this baby. But again $14.99! Was going to return but that price keeps flashing before my eyes so will keep it.
