What owners single out
In their words
“My husband stopped going to coffeeshops daily after I purchased this awesome coffeemaker! It has a showerhead design that gets all of the great taste out of all of the coffee. It uses a basket-style filter that also allows more flavor to come through. It comes with an adapter for brewing a smaller amount of coffee, although we rarely use that extra feature. This is my second one so that I can run ”

“Terrible coffee maker. It overflows constantly. We have bought new grinders and tried different things, but it still overflows and makes a huge mess 50 percent of the time. Do not waste your money!”
