Piece of junk :-( 1 out of 5 stars.
13 of 13 people found this review helpful.

We purchased this thinking it would be a great coffee maker and it is junk. The hoppers that hold the coffee don't pivot out from the maker they sit on top of the carafes. When you are making your coffee in the morning you have the two carafes, two hoppers, two bags of coffee and the grinder out at the same time. When the coffee is brewed you remove the carafe and hopper together and try to pour a cup of coffee holding the dripping hopper in one hand over the cup and pour out of the carafe at the same time. The hoppers don't have a drip stop feature. The carafes are open and have separate lids. I've had inexpensive makers that had drip stop, integral carafe lid and pivoting hoppers. I have not had the cold coffee problems other report. I was very disappointed in this piece of crap from France.

Editorial Review:

Two double walled insulated stainless steel thermal carafes equip you to serve plenty of hot, fresh coffee at home or at the office. You can brew a pot of flavored or a pot of decaf, in addition to a pot of regular. Brewing options allow you to brew as little as one 5 cup pot and as much as two 20 cup pots. It's equipped with the Krups Deep Brew system which features a special filtering action for maximum flavor without bitterness. It als has a specially designed heating and tubing system which minimizes calcification and leaves no residual water in the system when brewing is complete.

The Yama 3 Cup Tabletop Vac Pot Coffee Siphon includes alcohol burner/warmer used to boil the water and activate the brewing process. The Yama 3 Cup Tabletop Vac Pot is great for after dinner coffee brewed right at the table and is ideal for restaurant use as well. "Cup" refers to Yama's idea of what a cup should be--it equals about 3-4 ounces for each cup.Directions for use:Use a slightly finer grind of coffee, somewhere around "auto drip" however you may experiment to taste.Drop the washable, reusable cloth covered filter into the infussion chamber with the chain hanging down into the glass siphon tube. Pull the chain down until you can hook it to the bottom of the siphon tube.Fill the bottom carafe to the 5 mark with hot water and place 5 measuring spoons of coffee in top chamber.Fill the burner with alcohol, light the burner and place directly beneath the bottom water carafe. The water takes about 4 minutes or longer to heat. Using hot water will speed up the process. Once the water reaches boiling temperatures the majority of the water is siphoned through the glass tube, past the filter and into the top chamber holding the ground coffee. Keeping the burner lit and under water carafe allow about 2 minutes to brew.After your 2 minutes is up remove and cap the alcohol burner (heat source).Once the coffee starts to cool the liquid is siphoned back down into the bottom carafe. Remove the top, placing it in its convertible lid/stand, and bring the pot to the table for serving.Gently rock the upper carafe back and forth until it can easily be removed and placed into it's stand.Serve and enjoy your fresh great tasting coffee.Although Isopropyl (Rubbing) Alcohol which is available at all drug stores can be used in the alcohol burner, Denatured Alcohol which can be purchased most hardware stores will burn hotter and help heat the water quicker.Check out DaveW's Flickr feed to follow our EspressoParts adventure brewing with the Yama 5 Cup Tabletop Vacpot.For more informat

Fine for 2.5 years, then wouldn't brew an entire pot 4 out of 5 stars.
9 of 9 people found this review helpful.

After 2.5 years, my Mr Coffee FTX25 coffee maker started beeping "finished" and stop brewing long before the water in the reservoir was all used up. While fixing this problem, I was able to examine the inner workings of the FTX25, and I must say, it is quite well built, and pretty easy to repair so long as the electronics haven't failed. Mechanically, very simple and well-constructed. The water heating element doubles as the pot warmer, but seems to have sufficient power to not over/under -do either task.

I noticed that my FTX25 was making it's typical "steam-venting-almost-finished" sound long before all the cold water was gone. Usually, the maker made a percolating sound while brewing, and once all the cold water was used up, a few puffs of steam would be released inside the compartment (I could hear them and see a puff or two coming out of the top lid), finally a second or two later, the finished beep would sound. Instead, right in the middle of the brewing cycle I'd hear the steam puffs then finished beep. This led me to believe that there wasn't enough water getting to the heating element.

I turned over the machine, removed the six screws from the bottom (two are under rubber feet) and opened up the bottom. Two red tubes serve as the input/output paths for cold/heated water respectively. With the front of the unit facing away from me, the tube on the right was the feeder tube. Removed this tube from the heating element and the other end from the black case piece by pulling gently. Near then end that attaches to the black plastic case (actually to the bottom of the reservoir), you can squeeze the tube and feel a small lump - a one-way (check) valve that allows cold water into the element, but prevents the pressure of the steam from pushing hot water back into the reservoir (forcing it up the path to the filter basket). This valve had been fouled ever so slightly in my case. I squeezed out the valve (like toothpaste out a tube) and cleaned the valve (careful not to loose the small white ball) with a brush and soapy water. Replacing the valve (the correct direction!), and reassembling, the coffee maker worked perfectly.

I hope to keep the FTX25 running for a long while.

Excellent Coffee 4 out of 5 stars.
13 of 13 people found this review helpful.

First, this coffee maker makes the BEST coffee. Everyone always comments on my wonderful coffee. It's better than Starbucks or any other coffeehouse.
However, there are some things one should be aware of....
1. You need to have very fine-ground beans. You can either buy whole and do yourself, but if you buy canned coffee, you'll need to further grind yourself at home.
2. You need to use a higher coffee to water ratio than you would with an automatic drip brew. It takes a little trial and error to figure out.
3. Once you get used to it, it's very easy to use, but it doesn take getting used to.
4. We've had this coffemaker just over a year, and certainly does not look as unique and flashy as it did when we first got it. The plastic carafe is scratched and faded over time and use. It is starting to look like some odd contraption that takes up too much counterspace! That is why i am giving it four stars - the plastic just looks old and worn (the numbers and lines for the cups of water on the carafe have all worn away).

So, if you want great coffee, this is the machine. If counterspace and looks are an issue, then this is not the machine.

Editorial Review:

Is coffee a beverage? Loosely defined, yes. Coffee is like Tea, an infusion of the a coffee bean's qualities like those of tea leaves, with hot, boiling water. The best example might be a French Press coffeemaker. Brew the perfect cup of coffee at exactly the right temperature for just the right amount of time. It's as simple as brewing water. The VB100 takes the purity of the French Press and the efficiency of the Drip to develop a simple method of capturing maximum coffee flavor easily for a delicious coffee.
