Summary: Not too good
Comment: I guess I must be a bit of a coffee snob but this coffee makers, richness and fullness when processing the coffee lacks a lot. The temperature of the coffee is a little hotter than Warm.

After reading the reviews I decided on this one but I think I will send it back. I am used to my Barista from Starbucks and this one just doesn't cut the mustard.

I am so glad I didn't sell my Barista I will just deal with it tempramental disposition and enjoy great coffee

Summary: Generally favorable with one excepton
Comment: We have had the coffeemaker--or the similar, earlier model--for over one year and we are generally pleased with its performance. The one negative, it terms of making great coffee, is that when the water is sprayed into the coffee grounds it does so only in the center of the cone. It takes much more coffee grounds to make a strong cup than if the spray wand was dispersing the water over a greater surface area of coffee. Often when finished there is a small dip in the grounds where the water was concentrated.

Summary: Great for One Year then Not So Great
Comment: We've had this coffee maker for a little over a year now and I thought it necessary to write a follow up review. For the first year or so this coffee pot was great. It brewed consistently good coffee and kept it warm (not hot) in the insulated carafe as promised.

However after a year of use the coffee pot is really sluggish when brewing and automatically shuts off in 15 minutes. So unless you watch to be sure it is actually done brewing you will only be helping yourself to a cup or two rather than a whole pot of coffee. This is REALLY annoying. I have cleaned the machine many times running h20 and vinegar through but this has had no effect. It is like the machine strains to pump the water through. Also, because of this you can not be in a hurry to brew your coffee because it could take at least 20 minutes or more to brew a full pot.

For a coffee maker with this price tag I would certainly expect more than a year of service out of it. Too bad.

Because of this I would no longer recommend this coffee maker.

Summary: Pretty great coffee maker
Comment: I ordered this coffee maker after breaking the carafe of my old Krups machine. It makes very good coffee, looks great, and is simple to use. I ordered a Cuisinart gold filter to use with this pot and it fits pretty well where a paper filter would go. The carafe keeps my coffee hot for hours with no thermal plate. It is tall but has a (relatively) small footprint, great for my tiny kitchen.

This is a great no-nonsense coffee maker at a moderately expensive price. It gives me what I wanted (thermal carafe, no warming plate, accepts gold-tone filters, insulated brewing), but if you're less picky, there are probably cheaper options.

Summary: It's an OK coffee maker
Comment: In terms of what it's used for I think it's good (not great). Some pros and cons:
Pros:
-It brews coffee really fast.
-Thermal carafe is an excellent. keeps warm for long time.
-Timer comes in very handy

Cons:
-I had to exchange due to leak in the carafe lid and even the exchaned one is leaking too (not as bad as first one though). it's an internal leak where water/coffee sips into the lid whereI can't get it out. this is the reason for 2star.
-Too tall. it barely fints under my kitchen cabinet (miner)
-puring the water is not as good as other coffee makers I've used before. there is no way to measure water amout you are pouring unless you use measuring cup.

Anyways, that's my review. if it was for lid leaking I would say it would get 3 stars but leaking lid is not acceptable, especially 2 in a row.
