breakable 1 out of 5 stars.

Been using it for less than 2 months now and there is a leak from the bottom. The cost to ship the item back under warranty is just about as much as buying another one. not worth it

Unbreakable SHOULD MEAN unbreakable 1 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

As with so many of the other reviewers of this product, I bought this French press with the idea that it would be unbreakable. The carafe part does hold up, but the press is lame, flimsy, and poorly made. I bought two of these and both have broken. I hate products that don't deliver what they promise.

Very Breakable 1 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

The unbreakable claim proved to be entirely unfounded. Through an ordering mishap we ended up with two presses. Although the press body undoubtedly withstands normal wear, the plastic press portion is made of very cheap plastic. The first one broke in the wash. I replaced it with the other one, thinking it was a fluke, and adopted the practice of swishing the press in the wash water instead of putting a cloth to it. This practice similarly place too much strain on the plastic retaining the screen, and the replacement broke within two weeks. The worst press I have ever had. I also suspect that the plastic leaches into the boiling water - but that's another post entirely. Do not buy this item.

I sent this to my Mother for Christmas ! 5 out of 5 stars.
5 of 5 people found this review helpful.

I called my Mother before Her Birthday and was just asking her what she might like or need she asked if I could find a 4cup Coffee Maker that was programable with auto off. When she got it she called and sounded so very happy and say's nice things about it to me still. She's 82 years young and loves coffee! she said she just heated some water for tea in it too!
So from my Mother to you she loves her Mr.Coffee 4-Cup Digital Coffee Maker.

Perfect Perfect Perfect 5 out of 5 stars.

I was looking for a 4 cup auto shut off coffee maker. The added programmable feature is an extra bonus.

When the coffee is done brewing it is VERY hot, which I love. The auto shut off works and being able to set the time to start brewing wasnt something I was looking for, but cant live without now.

I have had this coffee maker for about about 2 months and have absolutely no complaints at all about this product.

I wish it was a great review 1 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

Wow. I fell in love with a french press. It was one of the great conversions of my life. Then my french press broke. So I purchased another one. And then I planned a camping trip. Afraid of another broken heart, I mean carafe, I decided to take the plunge and buy an unbreakable french press.

The screen didn't fit rightly! I got grit in my coffee! Oh no!

Then I got an idea, an epiphany. I tried it, and it worked! I used an old screen on my new press. AAAHHH. Good coffee. Bad situation turned out okay, this time. But not everyone has extra french press parts just lying around. I wish it could be a great review, but it is NOT.

Not hot enough 4 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

This is a very attractive coffee maker and it turns out very good (not great) coffee. However, the thermos function is not very good at keeping coffee hot; barely better than a traditional glass container.

would recommend with a caveat 4 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

Very well constructed with no glass parts to break..easy to travel with.
Using regular drip ground coffee does leave grounds in the coffee....it will work better with a coarser grind that will not get through the filter.

From Tassimo to Senseo 5 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

I've owned a Tassimo machine for a couple of years and loved it. Expecially for the espresso and "short" coffees.

I moved recently to Europe and decided to try Senseo and am glad I did. I have found that the "single serve" bags of coffee not made for Senseo also work well. Many brands including Illy coffee make single serve pouches that you can use with these, even if the Douwe Egberts coffee that is made for the Senseo machine is very good.

I should say though, that the short coffees the Senseo makes are not made in the most correct way in my opinion. The Senseo doesn't create enough pressure to make a strong enough espresso. It also has about 3 times more water in the espresso than it should have. The Tassimo espresso is not Italian "caffe bar" style, but it is considerably better than the other machines in this category for Espresso.

Compared with Tassimo, Senseo coffee pods are also more reasonably priced and available for auto-delivery subscriptions from Senseo and Amazon.

All of that said, I'm very pleased with the American coffee that is brewed by the Senseo. I feel no guilt for serving Senseo coffee after dinner to guests and would also recommend it as a great single serve coffee machine in this price range. Worth every penny.

Editorial Review:

Designed by Philips, one of the world's largest electronics companies, the SENSEO Coffee Machine brings great taste - in both design and coffee - to your kitchen. The patented system uses perfectly balanced proportions of coffee and water. Mild pressure and a special spray head produce an optimally balanced coffee filtering process.

My new BFF ... 5 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

LOVE IT, LOVE IT, LOVE IT ! I'd marry it if I could. This machine is worth every cent that we paid. There is just no comparision to the cheaper machines, both aesthetically and functionally. It does a fantastic job. It has a nice big 60 oz resevoir, which a lot of the other cheaper models do not have. It is so convenient, that we now find ouorselves making bevvies at all times of the day. Coffee in the morning, decaf in the evening. Although my 4 year old thinks that it is her own personal hot cocoa maker ! Top notch quality too, both the unit itself and its output. Nice looking, I love the blue lights. It even beeps to remind you that the resevoir needs more water (by "you", I mean the "non-filling" spouse) My mom in law loved it so much, I have aleady bought her one for Christmas. The only trouble you'll have with this machine is deciding which of the hundreds of brews you'll try next !

Editorial Review:

Smart brew. Brilliant taste. This impressive stainless steel brewer makes single cups of hot, aromatic coffee at the push of a button.

Toddy makes great coffee and it makes life easier to have it around. It's a little flimsy feeling, but the results are great.

PERFECT BREW!!! 5 out of 5 stars.

This is absolute perfection and ease in cold-filter brewing. Makes ANY house a coffeehouse without the exorbitant prices. I make my own coffee latte at a fraction of the price...and I NEVER have to wait in line or deal with attitude. LOL A MUST HAVE!

Editorial Review:

"(The Toddy) is the ultimate coffee maker." In 1964, as a chemical engineering graduate of Cornell, Todd Simpson developed and patented a cold brew system that, using regular Arabica coffee beans, creates a superior-tasting cup of steaming HOT coffee. And, with 67% LESS ACID than coffee made by conventional hot brew methods, it's easier on sensitive stomachs. According to The Saturday Evening Post, "Cold brewed coffee is a welcome alternative for the millions of coffee lovers who are acid sensitive or suffer from gastroesophageal reflux disease." The Toddy brewer produces a low acid, coffee concentrate. Just add water for a distinctively bold, super smooth taste that has delighted connoisseurs for some 40 years. And, refrigerated, there's no waste Toddy can be made one cup at a time.

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

I cannot stand this coffee maker. The cleanup is very involved. Some areas that need daily cleaning are completely inaccessable . Using pre ground coffee it seems to not allow the coffee enough time to go thru the filter . This results in the grinds and hot water pooling till overflow then spilling internally over many fused plastic parts. You cannot even clean them because they cannot be removed. And yes this muck drips over the caraffe and onto the burner and starts to burn. Unbelieveable. Even though you may not use the grinder you still have to break it down and clean the condensate out of it . Very poor. This product is junk. If you dont believe me buy one and see for yourself.

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.

Purchased for my office 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

This item works well and makes great tea. I keep it in my office to brew tea daily while I'm working and it makes tea making easy and enjoyable. I love that it has settings for various types of loose teas, which allows me to put some silver needles in the loose tea container, move the dial to white tea, and forget about until later when I come back to pour a cup of perfect tasting tea.

A great machine if only it would continue to decant! 4 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

The Pros:
I bought the Zarafina Tea Maker Suite from another company since I found a great deal on it. I switched over to loose tea a year ago and the machine really worked wonders for me. I was always forgetting to remove the tea strainer from my cup before the tea went bitter when I used a teapot to heat water. The Zarafina Tea Maker Suite brewed my tea for me and decanted into a little pot and I never had to worry about bitter tea. And while there are 5 different tea settings on the machine I typically use the herbal/medium setting for my green tea (which is all I drink). That setting gets the water to a hotter temperature which I prefer and on a medium strength setting I only need to add one scoop of loose leaves for the perfect cup

The cons:
I used the machine to brew 3-6 pots of tea a day and I'd only had it 2 months before it stopped decanting. It would release 2-3 tablespoons of fluid and then nothing. I had to move the teapot into a precise spot before it would actually decant. By month 4 it was not decanting at all, no matter how I positioned the pot. I contacted Zarafina and they have shipped out a replacement machine free of charge and have not asked me to ship my clunker back to them.

The size is rather small at only 16 ounces but sipping from the tiny cups allows me to savor the flavor of the tea rather than gulping it down.

The tea infuser basket seems to let smaller tea leaves loose in the water no matter how tightly I try to fit the lid on the basket. The basket does stain easily but I am able to take it apart and run it through the diswasher and the stains disappear.

The brewing chamber stains just as easily but as other reviewers have said, one of those Magic Erasers does the job of removing stains quick enough. And the brewing chamber does keep the flavor of stronger teas so cleaning it out after a flavored tea or running a pot of water to clear it out is necessary.

Overall:
While that seems like a lot of negatives, they're not as great as having the machine brew the perfect cup of green tea for me. The convenience of setting it up to brew and having it decant before it becomes undrinkable outweigh the cons listed. Now if only it would continue to decant without breaking down so soon! At least I found a good deal on the one I purchased.

Editorial Review:

Zarafina tea maker has a unique brewing chamber which allows you to observe the process, variable settings that allow you to control the strength, brewing time and temperature and a built in diffuser that keeps your tea free of leaves whether you are using tea bags or loose tea. It is designed distinctively to enrich your tea experience. Dark shale color with stainless steel accents
