Needs Coffee Filter Paper 2 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

The reason that I brought this coffee machine was because it said that it had a permanent reusable coffee filter that came along with the machine. I was thinking that I wouldn't have to buy anymore coffee filters, but it turns out that I had to continue buying coffee filters, because little pieces of the coffee beans kept going through the filter and into my drink. I would not recommend this product.

Quick Cup of Coffee 5 out of 5 stars.

Since I am the only coffee drinker in my house, I've enjoyed having a quick and convenient cup of coffee each morning without wasting the rest of the pot. The mesh filter eliminates the need for paper filters, and is healthier as well.

Nice BIG Travel Mugs 5 out of 5 stars.

I purchased these for my husband after somebody at work stole the one he had for many years. He does not like any moving parts on the lid, so these were perfect.The price is great. They hold a lot and keep the coffee warm for a while.He's very pleased with them and put his name on it this time.We'll see if that helps any.We would not hesitate to purchase them again or recommend them.

Good size, keeps things warm, but the lids do not fit - they are too small. I had 2 major mishaps with them falling off.

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

Excellent size and insulation. It would be nice though if the drinking hole had a cover so it would not lose heat. hot beverages are kept very hot for quite a long time anyhow though. also the size is nice. there are not many insulated mugs that are 24 oz. and this one is. overall it is an excellent value.

Great Coffee but Maintenance is Required 4 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

I have owned the 900 series Burr Grind & Brew for about 1-month. Overall, it is a well designed product that brews excellent coffee. One of the best features is the capacity of the coffee bean hopper which can hold up to 1/2 pound of whole bean coffee. The machine has the ability to brew pre-ground beans but I have not yet utilized this feature.

Set-up was quite simple and for the tech challenged, a DVD is provided. On the control panel are program settings for desired amount of coffee and brew strength. These settings offer a good baseline but you still need to play with quantity of water in order to get a precise brew strength. I like my coffee strong and after fiddling with water levels, the machine produces a full body robust brew.

The only caution I have is with maintenance. The manufacturer suggests cleaning out the coffee chute every week to remove ground bean deposits which over time can clog the chute and degrade the quality of coffee.I have found weekly cleaning inadequate and suggest more frequent cleanings. I clean the chute very other day with good results.

My experience with this product has been good. The Burr and Grind makes Great tasting coffee.

Vending machine coffee tastes better 2 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

I can't say I'd recommend this coffee. If not for the convenience, I wouldn't ever have rebought it, but now I've found a better choice for regular coffee in the Tassimo - either Starbucks Breakfast Blend, or Jacobs Kronung. Both beat this coffee hands down in flavor. The Jacobs doesn't make as much coffee though.
This coffee tastes like vending machine coffee at a highway rest stop - the kind from a machine that hasn't been tended to recently. Thin and yucky. Sorry, Gevalia fans. They make a good espresso, though, and the latte and cappuccino choices are much better.
Pass on this one if you're not sure and try one of the others.

Simply the best. 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

If you want a quick cup of coffee that is simply the best, this is it! I have had other pod coffees all with a bitter aftertaste. I love love love this brand. You simply can not go wrong with any of the Gevalia flavors.

switched to Starbucks 2 out of 5 stars.

The Gevalia coffees are a little weak for my taste, so I switched to all Starbucks House Blend and Africa Kitamu.

wishy washy 3 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

I'm not one to like strong coffee but the Gevalia Signature Blend is so weak I really dislike it. I found the Signature Blend Decaf to be wonderful and hoped the regular coffee would have the same characteristics but it is very weak. I'm heading back to hazelnut.

Gevalia 3 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

I love my Tassimo coffee maker, but this is not one of my favorite brands. I've tried it and I will buy again when the price is right, but I think the taste is a little "thin" compared to other brands I've tried.

Too Big For a Mug, Not Big Enough Flavor 1 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

The Gevalia Morning Roast fills a coffee cup to the top so that there is no room for creamer. I could forgive that and use a larger mug but what I can't forgive is the lack of flavor. It's listed as "medium" but I find it weak and tasteless. Full disclosure: I like bold coffees.

UPDATE: If you find yourself with a box of this coffee, here is a workaround for lack of flavor. Turn off your machine when the coffee level is at the level of a normal 11 oz. cup of coffee. You will find something to taste when you leave out the rest of the water.

Love the larger cup size! 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

I love, love, love that this pours a 12 oz. cup vs. the standard 9 oz. cup. The coffee itself is a bit on the weak side for my taste, but I love a super strong brew. That said, I would get this again just for the 12 oz. pour. My husband who prefers a slightly less strong brew than me, really enjoys this coffee.

Finally! HOT, consistently great coffee 5 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

We bought this after owning a different Cuisinart model (with the built-in grinder and thermal carafe) and being unhappy with the practically lukewarm coffee it made. The old model also leaked which left marks on my counter top. So as you can imagine, we weren't keen on another Cuisinart. But an office where I sometimes work as a freelancer had this one, and I knew from using it there that I loved it. Now that we've owned it at home for 5 months, I have to say we LOVE it even more than we thought we would. First of all, the coffee comes out H-O-T! No more do I have to microwave it to get it to drinking temperature. Second, it keeps it just as hot for a full 2 hours (after that it shuts off automatically), but since the coffee is not sitting on a burner it doesn't get that "cooked" taste. Third, we've made as few as 4 cups and (more often) as many as the full 12, and the coffee comes out perfectly every time. No grinds in the coffee (another problem we've had with previous makers), NO leaking at all. Just consistently great coffee that definitely compares with the gourmet coffee shops. I highly recommend this coffee maker!

Wow, they still make this thing? 2 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

I gave this two stars rather than just one since I used it for over 3 years until finally retiring it this Christmas. Prior to this model, I had another Cusinart grind and brew and was hopeful that Cusinart had addressed the issues with the previous model with this one. The most maddening problem with the previous model was it's tendency to overflow and have coffee run down your counters and into your drawers and cabinets. After a year with this model, I was happy to see that no coffee had yet left the brewer except when I poured a cup (boy, was that about to end!).

My main reasons for buying this machine in the first place was its ability to grind the beans in the machine and the thermal carafe. I'm the only coffee drinker in the house and I like to spread two or three cups over a morning. With a standard coffee maker your coffee is cooked after an hour, especially with a flavored blend. The Thermal Carafe was perfect for spreading out the coffee over the morning and having it taste great.

You need to place this coffee maker next to a sink. It needs a thorough cleaning after at least every other brew cycle. The steam from the brewing comes up into the grinding chamber and turns whatever coffee is left in the chamber into a paste. I found I could get away with a second grind cycle without cleaning, but after that it's impossible to grind any beans without cleaning and drying the grinder assembly. It's best to clean the grinder after it cools down and let it dry overnight before the next pot. I think I did that about 3 times over 3 years.

You also need to dump the machine upside down to remove any beans that may have fallen out of the grinding chamber when filling. If left in the little nooks and crannies of the machine, thanks to the steam, they tend to mold very quickly.

Yes, the machine does sound like a F-16 getting ready for takeoff every time it grinds. Yes, it will wake up your entire household. When getting up early and wanting a cup of coffee I found myself taking the machine out into the garage for the grind cycle, or even just heading to the corner store for a cup of coffee rather than waking everybody.

After about a year I started to notice coffee grinds in the coffee. Then a few weeks later it let loose and brewed the entire pot onto the counter and into the kitchen drawers. After cleaning up the mess the best I could figure was that the gold filter basket was getting clogged and wouldn't drain fast enough, so the coffee went up over the top and then the grounds clogged the bottom drain, forcing the coffee out the top of the brew basket. After replacing the gold basket, everything seemed ok for the next year until the entire brew basket assembly would pop out on its own, usually in the middle of brewing. This of course sent the entire pot of coffee back over the counters and into the drawers again.

My solution was to keep the coffee maker at the edge of the sink during the brewing process, so any overflows or popping brew basket assemblies would just send the coffee down the drain and not throughout the kitchen.

It does make a nice tasting cup of coffee, but I attribute that to the fact that in order for the machine to operate at all, you need to keep it squeaky clean.

This turned into a "man versus machine" battle over the past year. I was determined to get this thing to work and produce a pot of coffee where it belonged. I finally gave up this Christmas when my family bought me a Keurig K-Cup machine. No fuss, no muss, no moldy coffee beans, no paste in the grinder, no coffee in the silverware drawer. Thanks everybody!

Editorial Review:

With its sleek Italian styling, brushed stainless finish and "loaded" feature package, you'd expect nothing less than a fabulous cup of coffee. And you won't be disappointed! From filtering the water, to grinding the beans, to keeping your brew hot, not to mention having it ready and waiting for you first thing in the morning, this handsome machine does it all, and then some.
