Some good, some bad 3 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

This coffeemaker makes a great pot of coffee & the advance timer function is a real advantage.Waking up to coffee already made is mighty convenient. The functions are relatively easy to program, though the image of machine w/names of parts should have been put on the facing page of the usage instructions.The water gauge has constant air bubbles (very annoying) so amount of water has to be reckoned by the pot. The "finished brewing" alert is so faint that if one isn't directly next to the pot,it can't be heard. Minor annoyances,I grant,but need to be addressed.

Warning to all who want a non-plastic-y kettle 4 out of 5 stars.
6 of 7 people found this review helpful.

Hi,

If you are like me and is considering purchasing this product so you don't boil water in any sort of plastic container, then beware:

Though this kettle is entirely stainless steel on the inside as well as the outside, there are two little holes on the inside, near the handle, where the water goes through for the water indicator. Unfortunately, these two holes are insulated (waterproofed) with some sort of rubber/soft plastic substance, and the water indicator itself is made out of plastic rather than glass.

Besides that, this kettle does its job very well and I think most of the other reviews already pointed out the goodness and flaws of it.

I got the Model 677 about 2 months ago as a replacement for a similar item received as a gift several years ago. This kettle makes hot water just fine - very happy with that part. It is also the right size, and capacity. The issue with it is the lid. There is no reason to have an attached button actuated lid. That one feature obstructs cleaning the inside, and provides opportunity for breakage. Breakage either due to mechanical failure or accident seems almost certain. The "old" kettle had a removable lid -- perfect! I strongly recommend Chef Choice produce this with a removable lid, with the same size opening as the model 677, or larger. The other problem with the lid is that my wife cannot hold the pot under the faucet because of a shoulder / arm problem. She must sit it down fill it, then lift with both hands. The lid does not open far enough to do this. It would have to open at least 90 degrees, and that would be a problem for many sinks. So the simple and correct solution is removable lid! One last item, as others have noted in their reviews, the level indicator is hard to read. It easy to read on the old model (Toastess I believe it was).

This is the exact replacement for our coffee maker. I love this old machine for its consistent brew, but the glass carafes do break over time.

carafe 4 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

perfect fit for the coffee maker. just wish they made one out of metal. too easy to break.

Great but DO NOT THROW OUT the old lid just yet! 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

Great item! I was thrilled to find a replacement for my older model of Krups(at least 15 years OLD). The height and the shape of the carafe are identical to the ld one, but the new lid does not work very well. In order for coffee to drip, I had to insert the carafe sideways as the new lid has a carved-out front and does not depress the drip latch.

So DO NOT THROW OUT YOUR OLD LID!!!! I put my old lid on, it snapped right in and the coffee maker is still in business!

Very, very pleased with the results!

My coffee maker is a few years old, so it's very hard to get a replacement carafe when one breaks. Amazon was the only place that I was able to get the official, correct replacement for my Krups coffee maker.

Editorial Review:

Have you heard of Chai? Chai (pronounced as a single syllable and rhymes with 'pie') is the word for tea in many parts of the world. It is a centuries-old beverage and has been popular in many cultures throughout Asia. Chai from India is a spiced milk tea that has become increasingly popular throught the world. Chai has become very common at over-the-counter speciality beverage shops from Starbucks to Dunkin Donuts. In its most basic form, chai is black tea that is brewed strong with a combination of spices and is diluted with milk and sugar.
Twinings Chai Tea Latte is made from a fusion of black tea, exotic spices of cinnamon, cardamom, cloves and ginger, and milk creamer to create a wonderfully creamy and rich texture. And now your Tassimo can create this delicious warm, soothing beverage in your home when you want it.
The full-bodied, lush and gentle flavor of Gevalia Teas is made possible by how, when and where the teas are harvested. Early in the morning, the high valleys of Ceylon are drenched in tree hugging mist, nursing tea leaves with minute beads of pure moisture. As the sun gently warms the leaves, our pickers work their way silently among the tea bushes, removing only the top two leaves and the bud by hand and carefully placing them in wicker baskets. This gentle harvesting, is one of the secrets to the extraordinary flavor and taste of Gevalia Teas.
Twinings Chai Tea Latte for Tassimo are packages as T-Discs for convenient use with Tassimo home beverage makers. Tassimo is the only machine that prepares an assortment of coffeehouse-quality hot beverages, including coffee, tea, espresso, crema, hot chocolate, creamy latte and frothy cappuccino. In addition to Gevalia Morning Roast, current Gevalia offerings include Signature Blend (Regular and Decaffeinated), Signature Crema, Cappuccino (Regular and Decaffeinated), Latte, Espresso and English Breakfast Tea.

I can't tell the difference in the coffee, but my wife can. I guess the filters work. The price isn't bad - better than the only local competition I found and certainly more convenient.

Glad I can get these on Amazon 5 out of 5 stars.

I've had difficulties in getting the right filters elsewhere, and it is nice to know they are available online. They are precisely what I needed.

Right stuff for making good coffee 4 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

It may be a small item in size, but it makes a big difference in the taste. The filters work very well and help keep out the "bad stuff" that we find in our "clean" water. Tried making coffee without one, but it just doesnt taste the same. Please keep in the inventory!! Very hard to find other places that dont cost an arm & a leg.

These filters for my coffee maker work fine. I was surprized that a piece of filter paper wrapped around some activated charcoal was so expensuve.However, I understand that maintainence materials for a quality product such as this coffee maker,are likely to be pricey.

On my second Cuisinart Grinder 3 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

I bought one of these new a couple years ago, and loved it. It did perfectly, everything I wanted a grinder to do. But in less than a year, as many reviewers have posted, it just up and quit.

For the past 6 months, I've been grinding my beans in the store or using my Magic Bullet. My husband worked nights and slept in mornings, so I didn't miss the loud motor. But now that he's back on early morning shift and I'm alone in the morning at coffee-making time, I decided to look for a new grinder.

I wasn't going to get another Cuisinart, as I just don't find the quality of their appliances to be very good. But I looked and read reviews of every other burr grinder made in a similar price range (I can't afford the $200-$500 machines) and none of them seemed to have the same bundle of features, like a hopper that holds a 1/2 pound of beans, the easy dial to select fine/coarse, the auto-select amount of beans you want ground, etc. And those that did seemed to have the SAME number of complaints that they one day just quit working.

So I had just decided I would come here, take my chances, and order another Cuisinart, when while browsing in Big Lots (retail discount store) I found a refurbished one for $20. I guess it's telling that there are so many refurbished ones available. Yes, it does look and perform like brand new. It also doesn't seem as noisy as my former one but I don't know if that's a good or bad thing. But it's an attractive machine and I'm really happy to have it back, I missed it. If it only lasts a year again, I'll feel like I got my $20 bucks worth.

I would recommend to anyone, save your money and a little frustration and get a refurbished and not a new one. So many people report that they just up and quit, that I bet in every case, what's been replaced is the motor that quit working in a year's time or less. So these refurbs are going to perform and last as long as brand new ones. Which probably ain't that long. But I would be happy to replace it annually for $20.

Simple but functional 4 out of 5 stars.
1 of 2 people found this review helpful.

The principle of operation is so simple that it's hard to mess it up. It's a plastic cone with a hole in the bottom, attached to a wide disk that sits on top of your mug. (Most mugs will fit, except maybe some really huge ones.) You put coffee in a filter in the cone, set the device on your mug, and add hot water. There's also a handle to pick it up by.

It works quite well, but I have two minor gripes. It could be bigger: if you fill the cone to the top with hot water, you can fill a really small mug. It also has some crevices that are a little hard to clean if you should get anything disgusting in there.

They give you a packet with half a dozen filters sized to fit. When those run out, you can probably use just about any filters that are big enough, which isn't much of a restriction (see above).

Editorial Review:

The Melitta 64007B single cup coffee filter cone is not glamorous?but it is the easiest, cleanest and most economical way we know to brew a phenomenal cup of coffee at home. All you need to do is set this cone on top of your favorite mug, drop in a paper filter of freshly ground coffee and pour boiling water through the cone. When the cup is brewed, just dispose of the grounds and pop this cone into the dishwasher. Fast, easy, clean, delicious! Melitta coffee is rich and flavorful, with a surprising depth and smoothness. A delight for everyone's tastebuds. Keep five or six of these in the cupboard and when company comes, impress them by brewing everyone their own, fresh cup made to order! Dishwasher safe

0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

After maybe 18 months of everyday use the seal in the water reservoir failed. Water leaked onto the parts below and they corroded. I took the unit apart, cleaned the contacts and used it another year. Now it's having trouble again and I'm tired of messing with it, but I'm buying a replacement because it's still the best product I can find. It would be even better without the planned obsolescence -- improve the seal, and, as back up, make those internal parts out of something that water can't damage.

Editorial Review:

Completely automatic, the new Capresso FrothXpress is the ideal companion for your coffeemaker. A sturdy pump and powerful stainless steel thermoblock produce enough hot steam to froth up to 30-oz. of milk in seconds-that's enough cappuccinos or lattes for you and some friends! The milk temperature can be adjusted from 120 to 170 degrees F, while an indicator light lets you know when it's ready. Then, simply add your preferred espresso or coffee and enjoy. Great for hot chocolate too. Removable milk and water containers, easy to clean frother parts, and a patented safety pressure release make this item especially user friendly. 1200 watts.

Quiet, but problems 2 out of 5 stars.
2 of 2 people found this review helpful.

We recently purchased this for our office. The good points: It's very quiet when it brews, and keeps the coffee warm for a good long time.

But it's annoying in several ways. First, the pot doesn't easily fit into the unit without shoving a few times. Also, the top twists to either "pour" or "keep warm," and the "pour" hardly dribbles. I always end up taking the top off totally to pour it. The top is then hard to get back on, it doesn't sit on the top evenly enough to twist it back on.

Now I'm wondering if we shouldn't have shelled out the extra bucks for a higher-quality unit. Maybe we got a lemon?

i wouldn't do it again... 3 out of 5 stars.

Usually Black and Decker products are reliable. The TCM830, sadly is not. It's barely 6 months old and is failing. The reservoir doesn't completely empty thus making the perfect pot of coffee somewhat challenging. You need to be wide awake when positioning the carafe under the brew basket; else, you'll have a counter top full of coffee. I'm shopping for a replacement.
