Fragile beauty 3 out of 5 stars.
6 of 7 people found this review helpful.

I grew up in a series of funky houses whose kitchens were thieir worst feature. The only visable touch of civility in the kitchens were some quality cookware and the Chemex on the stove.

Later, my wife got a Chemex for both use and decoration in our own series of unremarkable kitchens.

Actually, we bought one Chemex after another. Despite using those heat ring things and being careful, the allure of functional minimalistic coffee pots decreased as the cracks grew. Buying new Chemex pots every few months was not our biggest expense, but they don't give these things away and it was annoying.

I got to think that in this age of advanced glass technology that it would be possible to make them so they would last forever. My take is that they are purposely made to have a limited life. I can't go along with that.

I did give three stars for style, probably one too much. If I could be assured that the new Chemexes are made of durable glass, then I would assign all the stars and buy one. We really need one as our Melitta just developed its own little crack after about three years of use. Hmmm.

Looks great tastes lousy 1 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

I have tried and tried and tried. This product stinks. Often the coffee tastes like plastic for some reason. I have traded filters, rinsed the unit, rinsed and washed the filter unit over and over again. Just cannot make a good cup of coffee happen consistently.

Excellent Replacement Coffee Maker 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

Fortunately for me, I did not read the reviews for this unit prior to purchasing. I ordered this unit off Amazon & it works great. I found that none of the complaints that people made about this unit occurred. Absolutely no problems with carafe seating properly. Carafe seats better in unit than any other automatic coffee maker that I have owned. Temperature is at perfect range. The unit also has nice features for automatically shutting off. There are also nice audible alerts to notify you when it is finished making the coffee as well as when it is turning off. The complaint about the lid being set up differently was incorrect as well. I found it to be an unusual design, but it did not cause any operational problems. No problems with overflow of the filters if you purchase the correct paper filters that work in the unit. I tried it with the paper filters that came with it & it did overflow. I then used some paper filters that I had for my older unit that were larger & no longer had this problem.

To wrap up, I would say again that this is the best automatic coffee maker that I have ever owned & would recommend it to others. The unit also is at a great price when I bought it for $33.00 from Amazon.

Very Fragile Coffee Maker 1 out of 5 stars.
2 of 2 people found this review helpful.

I was extremely disappointed in this coffee maker. The first one burned up, apprently from getting too hot when there was little coffee in the caraffe and the reservoir warped allowing coffee grounds to enter the cup. After some considerable haggling with Hamilton Beach, they sent me a new reservoir, only to have the same thing happen to that one within about a month. My several emails to their customer service department after the second experience went unanswered. Convenient, yes, but if there's any chance you'll end up with very little or no coffee in the reservoir during the one hour or so it says heated, don't buy this one.

I threw mine away.

Wonderful Coffee 5 out of 5 stars.
10 of 10 people found this review helpful.

When combined with the Chemex filter paper, this little coffee maker makes superb drip coffee. I heat 16 oz of water in the microwave in a measuring cup and pour the water into the coffee in the filter paper about 5-6 ozs at a time. The filter paper really does a great job removing bitterness from the coffee.

Editorial Review:

The Chemex Coffeemaker was invented over 60 years ago by German chemist and artist, Dr. Peter Schlumbohm. The simplicity of the Chemex coffeemaker's elegant hourglass shape has been honored for its design by many prestigious museums, including the Smithsonian, the Museum of Modern Art, and the Philadelphia Museum of Art. Its functional capabilities are also world renowned. The Chemex uses a thick paper filter that removes many of the impurities that electric coffeemakers allow to pass through, making the coffee much more pure and flavorful. It also brews directly into the serving container for simple decanting and cleaning. While pouring, the wood collar keeps your hands safe from the heated coffee inside. All of these features combine to make the Chemex coffeemaker a true classic.

Editorial Review:

Often referred as a French Press or Plunger pot, this coffeemaker is the most elemental way of making coffee. It captures most of the oils found in the coffee bean to provide a rich-tasting, complex coffee. The French invented the press pot in approximately the 1850's. The first pots were metal, and functioned roughly like they do today pressing coffee grounds to the bottom of a metal pot, through a metal screen (or sometimes through a loosely woven material). In the 1930's, the Italians reinvented the French press pots, using first metal, and then glass. The pot has been refined over the years to the single-chambered French press pot we know today. Bodum is a leading French Press manufacturer in the USA and the Chambord is classically styled with modern glass, metal, and plastic materials to mimic those that became popular during the 1930's in Europe. How does it work? It's simple: Now take the plunge; slowly push the plunger down, to filter the coffee. Doing this slowly will keep most of the grounds under the filter of the plunger Pour the filtered coffee Makes up to 12 Cups Requires no electricity

Great Pot 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

Makes a great cup of coffee, easy to clean. The handle broke on mine after nine months of use.

Saving $5 a day now... 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

This little pot along with the Aerolatte Milk Frother makes great lattes and has been saving me $5 a day for the past couple weeks. I still plan to stop at my favorite coffee shop once a week or so to pick up some freshly roasted beans.

In all honesty, the coffee shop espresso is a bit richer than I have made in this so far. However, it is very good and I plan to continue saving myself $5 a day ($1,825 a year!)

After having a low end Krups Espresso machine for about 20 years and a coffee machine go south I decided that to buy this combo product. Its works really well. I'm still experimenting with the steam milk but overall I'm happy.

I have had this machine for only six months. It suddenly stopped brewing coffee on the right side. One year warranty. Company refuses to take it back. They want me to ship it to New York for service at my expense. Cost approx. $30.00. What a ripoff. Do not buy from this company and save your money.

Editorial Review:

This dual function espresso/drip coffee machine has oversized controls that switch easily from brewing espresso to frothing milk. It features a 15 bar pump driven system with a die-cast thermoblock-heating element. The filter basket is conveniently stored in the lid and has a perfect froth steam nozzle. With a cup warming tray, removable water tank with optional water filtration, easy on/off button, visible water level indicator, and anti-drip system this machine is a coffee lover's dream.

Useless! 1 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

Since I threw away the box and can not return this item, I am also throwing away the pot after trying to use it for one week. Float does not work in handle and there are no measurement indentations on inside of pot. Worst pot I have ever encountered.

broke after 3 months 2 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

I bought this to replace a Farberware percolator which lasted only 1 year. It brewed extremely slow, but other than that I was satisfied. After 3 months it would not stop brewing unless I unplugged it. I contacted the company because it is under warranty, and was told that they sold their warranty department. After several attempts I have been unable to contact anyone. Complete waste.

No need to bend my arm. This West Bend is great a great percolator 5 out of 5 stars.

I love this coffeepot. I have been using a drip pot for years and got tired of it taking up limited space. I had forgotten the smell of fresh perked coffee in the morning and the inviting sound the pot made. The coffee is also hot which I had forgotten about with my drip. I am glad I made the change.

A great 4 cup coffee maker ! 4 out of 5 stars.
8 of 8 people found this review helpful.

I have owned several Mr. Coffee 4 cup models, going back to the one that looks like it was made in the 1970's (with the floating orange water indicator) - This one is the best one to date.

The high points:

1) It's small and light

2) While the lid is up, the water will simply cycle through the resovoir ( a great way to preheat your water is to simply keep the lid up while the machine is running until it gets (quite) hot - then close the lid. )

3) It came with a re-usable basket filter (a nice feature considering the machine was only ~ 20$)

The negative

1) The carafe is just a tad difficult to pour from. Do not get me wrong, if you concentrate and proceed with caution, it does function without error. However, without due attention you might notice some drops spilling over the edge. That said, when pouring out the last few ounces at the end you will feel the steam/vapor rising up to your hand - it is HOT.

For $20, I would reccomend it to everyone I know as the perfect 4 cup maker.
