Regal 58030R 30 Cup Coffemaker Review

(More customer reviews)
I bought this item based on the picture. The picture displays a Stainless Steel lid and see through glass reader as to whether or not the coffe is ready. What I got was an item that was a regalware but had a black lid and no glass reader. This is false advertising! The picture of what I selected and paid almost 75.00 for including shipping and handling was no where near the same quality of what was received. Then they will only pay for returns if they made the error. Next Day Gourmet has made a serious error in the advertisement of this product but takes no responsibility for paying on the return. This is not a company I would buy from again and find it very disappointing for all the effort I have had to go through due to this companies poor policies.

Technivorm Moccamaster KBTS Coffee Brewer with Thermo Carafe Review

Technivorm Moccamaster KBTS Coffee Brewer with Thermo Carafe
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have had this unit for four years and it is still going strong. The water temperature and shutoff on the filter housing make this the Ferarri of coffee makers. There is no timer, so you actually have to make the coffee. I like to let the filter fill with hot water with the flow restrictor shut. This allows me to stir the coffee and wet the entire contents, allowing it to absorb the water fully. I then allow the coffee to flow on the first setting (slow). If you don't mind a little labor and you like stick shifts, this is an amazing machine.
Update: Still use this machine daily, but there are cones now available (Clever Coffee Dripper) with the flow restrictor that do similar work (cheaper) if you don't need the carafe, don't mind heating your own water, or like to brew one or two cups at a time. Still best machine IMO.

Basic unit with not many extra features, but makes good coffee, looks good, and is quite easy to set up and use. That's what I wanted & that's what this unit delivers. Only "complaint" is that the top lid feels a bit flimsy and might be a bit too easy to break if you got rough with it. NOTE: After I bought this unit from Amazon, I found it for sale in a regular store for $23 and some change. That didn't make me very happy. Do yourself a favor and shop around.

I had been searching for a four cup thermal carafe coffee maker and found it here. Simple: no warmer to burn coffee, no timer or clock, a dripless carafe (YES), easy cup markings in carafe, automatic shutoff when done brewing. Coffee comes out at temperature that does not scald you and tastes good. Note: All plastic except for heating element. Does what it says it will.

I love the turn on and off switch without the bells and whistles. I also have hard water, but we use distilled/purified or spring bottled water in the maker - so their is not the build up of lime in the structure. Easy to clean with vinegar. Simple model, we keep it unplugged after it's done to prevent it from overheating (if in case it ever did) - then it lasts a bit longer. Of course we find the 12 cup only equates to about 4 of our mug sizes - but then, it's good for it's size.

Remanufactured Breville XXBKC600XL Gourmet Single-Cup Coffeemaker Review

Remanufactured Breville XXBKC600XL Gourmet Single-Cup Coffeemaker
Average Reviews:

I purchased the remanufactured breville k-cup coffee maker. I was skeptical in the beginning after reading some of the reviews. I received my machine in two days, the packaging was just a regular box very well packed from amazon. The machine looks like brand new and works just fine. It is less than half the price a new machine and it came with all the accessories. I also own a breville 1000 watt juicer which also has no issues. Breville makes good products, much better than the average plastic chinese made appliances. They are well thought and engineered, almost professional grade, fairly priced and made to last. Don't be afraid to purchase remanufactured Breville products, they aret as good as new. I understand that sometimes quality repair or control may not be the best, but for me so far so good. Also, I'd like to add that our office machine is a Keurig, it's the high end model. Compared to the Breville, i must say that Breville is by far superior. Coffee making quality is the same, features are the same with Breville being more user friendly but on the looks department Breville is the winner. Made in stainless steel with minimal use of plastic makes the machine heavy, beautiful and gives a sense of quality. By the way, the same type and brand K-cups were used to compare the machines.

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Ok, I nearly was pushed away by the bad reviews on this appliance but decided to give it a try. I bought it about a month ago & I really like it.
I have to start by saying that I am religious about my coffee. I only drink it if it is good coffee & prepared well. I grind my beans & I only use fresh coffee. I am very picky about every aspect of coffee drinking, it isn't a habit for me but rather an experience.
With that said, I have 'tested' each of the problems mentioned in the reviews & here is what I found:
Leaking & overflowing - I have never had that problem after weeks of use, I am not sure why one of the posters had this problem, maybe they overfilled it.
Coffee grains in coffee - Nope, no problem here, the coffee is perfectly filtered with a paper filter. I haven't seen a grain of coffee yet!
Coffee not staying warm - I find that if I keep the lid shut that the coffee stays nice & warm for over 2 hours.
Hard to fill - Yes, this coffeemaker is a bit difficult to fill but as someone else suggested, I just use my sink sprayer to fill it & it is a breeze (thanks for the suggestion!).
Doesn't pour quickly - Yes this is a bit of a slow pourer but I LOVE the caraffe so much that I won't complain about that at all. Patience is a virtue!
Someone else complained that they couldn't clean the caraffe. It does have a small opening but I have found no reason to scrub it (coffee doesn't burn on the bottom like a burner coffeemaker). I rinse it out with some soap & warm water each day & it is fine. It would be easy enough to use a bottle brush as needed.
At first I was disappointed with the strength of the coffee (I am a filter-press & espresso girl & I love it strong). So, I started adding quite a bit more coffee than what was suggested. Then one day, I forgot to put the carbon filter in. As a result, the coffee was very STRONG. So, from that point on, I used the 'regular' strength level and tossed my carbon filter into the garbage. It absolutely isn't needed, I didn't notice any change in flavor. So, bypass that silly expense!
The main reason why I was intrigued by this coffeemaker is the caraffe. I love the portability. I can take it outside or into the living room to read a book or to the computer, etc. The coffee tastes just as good an hour later & there isn't the burnt taste you get from the burner-type coffeemakers.
The clock & timers are self-explanitory & work well for me.
The coffeemaker is very nice looking & looks great on my counter.
I would recommend this coffeemaker to anyone who would enjoy the benefits & portability of the caraffe. It makes great coffee & has nice styling.

NespressoC100 PianoBlack/Aerocc Review

NespressoC100 PianoBlack/Aerocc
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
The Nespresso system is about as simple as coffee making gets - you turn on the device until it heats up (about 30 seconds), put the pod into the holder, press GO and in 20 seconds or so you have the perfect espresso shot. There are variety of pod blends available, and the machine is capable of producing a shot so smooth it would rival any professional coffee house.
My own real criticism is the price - this machine is expensive for something that essential boils and pumps water. But it is elegantly designed and has a small footprint and is guaranteed to become a conversation piece in your home or workplace. The second problem is that the pods themselves are expensive and can only be ordered directly from Nespresso. It's easy to create a $100-a-month coffee habit that's hard to justify in this economy, so I went back to my Mr Coffee maker after 3 months of Nespresso addiction.
But if you're in the market for pod-based espresso, I'd recommend this machine.

Gevalia Coffee & Tea Pod Brewer, Black Review

Gevalia Coffee and Tea Pod Brewer, Black
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Bought one of these from Woot and gave it as a Christmas gift. Spent about 2 hours trying things, reading support stuff on the internet, trying new things, and finally giving up. First, the Gevalia Coffee Pod Brewer wouldn't prime as the instructions said. Hints from other buyers said it needed to be reprimed 15-20 times before it actually started to pump water. Once that got going, it took about 25 cups worth before it would output clean, clear water. It seems that the culprit responsible for both problems is too much grease in the tubes during assembly. I really hope it's a food-grade grease or oil. As we were starting to get clear water out of the machine, it decided to quit metering the water. It doesn't matter which setting is chosen, the 6, 8, or 12-oz size, the machine will run through the entire reservoir of water and try to keep going. While furiously pumping water it seems the pump itself moves more water than the rest of the machine can handle as water leaks from base of the machine and runs all over the counter and onto the floor. What's most surprising to me about this is that other buyers describe the exact same issues with the Gevalia Coffee Pod machines they bought. I'd think it has got to be a crazy isolated incident with all the problems in one unit, but no! Lots of buyers on the Woot forums have these issues. We've boxed this machine up and have ordered a Senseo machine. I sincerely hope it's a better product, and I hope I can get a refund on the Gevalia.

I bought one of these a few months back as I need all the counter space I can get. It is perfect for my kitchen and I love the space I got. It makes a quick pot of coffee and the temp is just right.
I think the only couple downsides I see are that the place where you pour the water is a small hole, easy to miss. Also, for some reason, the clock is screwy. It is slow and it looses about an hour every day. Finally, the pot on mine broke after only a month and I cannot find a replacement for it.

Coffee lovers no longer have to give up valuable counter space to accommodate a clunky coffeemaker. This unit easily installs under a cabinet, keeping work surfaces clear for food prep and other everyday tasks. More than just a space-saving convenience, the coffeemaker comes with an array of user-friendly features for brewing up to 12 cups of great-tasting coffee. Its clock and timer allow for programming the unit to begin brewing at a later time--great for wake-up coffee in the morning or having a pot ready to serve with dessert without having to get up from the table half way through dinner. For those eager for that first sip, the unit's Sneak-A-Cup interrupt function pauses the brewing cycle to allow for pouring a quick cup midbrew. Coffee brews directly into the unit's Perfect Pour glass carafe, which provides a generous stay-cool handle and a drip-free spout. Other highlights include a removable filter basket, a removable water reservoir with an illuminated water-level indicator window, a nonstick heating plate, cord storage, and automatic shut-off for peace of mind. At least two of the mounting holes are the same as the original (ODC) coffeemaker to facilitate simple upgrades, and its Save-a-Plug outlet makes it possible to connect a SpaceMaker Mini Food Processor/Grinder or Can Opener directly into the coffeemaker, saving the wall outlet for other uses. The coffeemaker measures approximately 12-3/5 by 12 by 15-1/2 inches.

I've had this for about a month. I love everything about it except that the coffee is not hot enough. Mr Coffee machines are hot enough (just to give an idea of what I think is hot enough). I love the size and I love how the part where you put the water in drains completely and no leftover steam water, so it's always clean and dry -- unlike all other machines I've tried which all scummed up after time and it was hard to clean in there. For some reason, the pot doesn't get hard water spots like all my other pots did. Sure wish it was hotter. . .

BUNN VPR Commercial 12-Cup Pour-Over Coffee Brewer, with 2 Warmers Review

BUNN VPR Commercial 12-Cup Pour-Over Coffee Brewer, with 2 Warmers
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
About 15 years ago, I purchased a Bunn home duty coffee maker and found it to be excellent. After about 5 years of nearly daily use, it started to get a little finicky so I took it apart in an attempt to clean the hot water chamber. Turned out the sealing parts are not really made to be taken apart after 5 years of use and then go back together.
In a quest for a new Bunn, I found that the VPR cost about double what the home version cost so.... 10 years later, the Bunn VPR is still going strong and has helped out at family events serving large groups of people (just what the machine is designed for!). Despite having water poured into the bottom heat plate (don't try to pour water in without a carafe in place), it still works perfectly!
A hint to those who make coffee only on the weekends: the design of the Bunn is that it is a small hot water tank and keeps a couple gallons of water hot and ready to go at all times. This will use some electricity and I've taken to putting a towel over the top of mine to help insulate and lower energy usage. Additionally, being hot all the time, water will evaporate. If going more than a couple days without making coffee, it's best to pour a pitcher of water in (with the filter basket empty and a carafe ready to catch the hot water) to top off the tank and then make a pot with coffee after it has reheated the reservoir.
If by some Act of God, my Bunn stops working, I will not hesitate to purchase another Commercial Bunn for what is essentially personal, home use. If you love coffee and can tolerate the price, this is a great choice for a coffee brewer!

Brew 3-4/5 gallons of coffee per hour with this commercial-quality 12-cup coffee machine. The completely portable pour-over unit requires no plumbing--just pour cold water in the top and coffee brews immediately. Two separately controlled warmers allow for brewing one batch while having a second ready to serve or for making both decaf and regular available to guests. For improved beverage-brewing safety, its SplashGard funnel features a shield next to the handle to deflect hot liquids away from the user's hand should the funnel be pulled out of the brewer before the end of the brew cycle. Other highlights include internal components made from durable stainless steel, a stable stainless-steel base, simple controls, and an easy-to-clean design. Please note that the decanters for this unit (Bunn 6100 and 6101 Easy Pour) are sold separately. The 1575-watt coffee brewer measures 8 by 16-1/5 by 20-2/3 inches and carries a two-year limited warranty.

What a failure!
Seemed just right for a simple way to make a quick single brewed cup of coffee. Small, low profile and uses little space on the counter. The science is so simple and established that I figured there could be no problems.
Wrong, it cannot deliver more than 6 ounces of water through the system, even though the water well holds 12 ounces. If you drink more than six ounces (smaller than a juice glass) of coffee, this is not the unit for you.
The well is filled with 12 ounces and the machine starts to brew. Good. Then, about half way through the process (VERY slow) it simply stops. I used my own 12oz mug which fits well but the pot seems pooped and just keeps on heating the water without delivering it through the plumbing. I have "plunged" the small water hole in the bottom if the well with no results.
I've tried it five times, wasting coffee and time and it simply doesn't want to work.
I'm planning to use it for a planter. Small cut wildflowers will look nice. For coffee, I'm going to a real working product.
It doesn't pay to return this item because the time and postage will make it too expensive.
This is junk, pure and simple.

Black & Decker SDC740B SpaceMaker 12-Cup Coffeemaker, Black Review

Black and Decker SDC740B SpaceMaker 12-Cup Coffeemaker, Black
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I've had a few different black and decker under cabinet coffee pots over the years and they were overdue for an update on the overall look of the product. I give the basic design 5 stars in that, the look is more current and if you have had the older version, you do get more noticable increase of counter usability space with this model. On the other hand, there are some annoyances with this new version. (I'm keeping the coffee maker)
For the overall rating that I provided of 3 stars, here is why.
Installation Template... JOKE
Missing measurement legends so was not usable. I held the coffer maker up to the cabinet to determine where I wanted it to be installed, measured from a few places on the coffee pot and cabinet and used the hanging bracket of the coffee maker as the template (pencil through screw holes).
Installation Hardware... screws wrong size
This is a design problem in concept, while having a bag of a bunch of different sizes solves the problem, or in my case, a hacksaw solved the problem. The ultimate reason is that there is no gap between the end of the screw when installed and the coffee pot to slide on. In older models if the screw went into the nut and came out the otherside by a 1/4 of an inch it was fine. In this model the screw must not go much past being flush to the end of the nut.... which is nuts!
Water Reservior... nice idea, but has challenges
a) Since the reservoir has such a large surface area, providing an exact amount of water is not easy. When you set it on the counter and fill it, it doesn't sit flat, etc, etc.
b) The top of the reservior is removable in order to clean it out. When you have the water around 10 cups, or more likely 12 cups, this lid doesn't seal the water in very good for a short walk from the sink to the coffee maker. Not a big deal, not a lot of dripping, but you have to pay attention to it.
Sneak a cup... Twice now we have had coffee overflow out of the filter area. This was due to the sneak a cup braket not designed very well. When you put the coffee pot into the unit, it pushes on a little handle/arm... barely. This braket opens/closes a door on the bottom of the filter. If the coffee pot is slightly off being place in properly, plan on a nice clean up of coffee on the counter. I added a little bit of bulk to the face of the bracket and I think it will solve the problem.
Removing top bracket... Geez, one of the first steps in the installation is to remove the top mounting bracket/piece from the top of the coffee maker... OMG, my wife and I were playing tug-a-war to get that dumb thing off. This should NOT come pre-connected to the coffee maker.
Handling of Water reservior and Filter. Neither have a nice handle or way to grip them. The filter part is more awkward to hold than the resourvoir, but it should be looked at.
I know I listed several things, but from the things listed, I don't think they are show-stoppers, I'll be keeping the coffee maker.

Krups KM4065 12-Cup Stainless-Steel Coffeemaker
This review is for the Krups KM 4065 coffeemaker. I believe this is the first of a new line of coffeemakers designed Bjorn Dahlstrom. At the moment, this coffeemaker is not on the Krups website and there is little information available on the web. I've only had it for a couple of days so here are my initial thoughts.
Pros:
1. Looks fantastic
2. Seems reasonably well built and the top door opens and closes smoothly
3. This has a different water gauge from the FM series and it works well and is easy to read (no bubbles).
4. I've filled the reservoir from both a Brita pitcher and from the included carafe without spillage. (That said the fill area is at the back near the door hinge)
5. Uses #4 Filters
6. Makes a great cup of coffee
7. The included carafe pours well
Cons:
1. Pricey for a unit without a thermal carafe
2. Programming is non-intuitive and a little frustrating
3. Manual could be a lot better
4. Like most stainless steel appliances, fingerprints may be an issue if you are not careful
5. Durability of main button to open top lid remains to be determined
6. Carafe seems a little light and the cover flimsy
Overall, I am very pleased with this beautiful coffeemaker. It looks like the design changes have addressed the water gauge issue with the FM series and so far I've had no leaks. The carafe works well so coffee spillage is not a problem and most importantly my initial experience is that this machine makes good coffee.
I have deducted one star due to the fact I've only had it 2 days and can't attest to the long-term durability of the unit and it is a little pricey compared to competing units.
