This pot is a great size for 1-2 people, maybe even more if you use an average size cup. This system paired with a good grade of coffee makes an awesome cup of joe. Another bonus - the pot does not leak or drip. I'm EXTREMELY picky about my coffee.ask anyone who knows me. I stopped using my Bunn coffee maker and switched to this manual drip coffee system. I use a pretty good sized mug.
Simplicity rules. I found this gem, and after almost six months, I believe I have achieved nirvana. I tried a French press, but the grounds caused a bitter, oily taste after just a few minutes. I am absolutely serious in that this simple contraption brews the best home brew I have ever tasted in MY LIFE (and I am no spring chicken, I can tell you).It may take a few minutes, but the boiling water is the key to the best brew, and the easily washable pieces insure no chemical build-up. How wrong.
C'est extraodinaire.If you are a coffee afficianado, you will not regret this purchase, and the price is very affordable. I also tried an aluminum expresso pot, it it was not good for the morning jolt-du-necessaire. After spending an obscene amount on a newly-introduced thermal carafe automatic brewer that was designed by a coffee industry insider, I was disappointed to find that, as time went on, the quality of my cuppajoe had seriously declined. Being a long-time coffee-lover, I have spent most of my adult life in the pursuit of the perfect coffeemaker; always thinking, like your average American, that the more money I spent, the better brew in my cup. So, I went back to the drawing board.
Each pot is fresh and delicious-- no calcium build-up or resins coating the carafe.
Electric coffee maker is not easy to clean up stains, but this one very east to clean.
I thought it would be quicker and less clean up than using my regular drip coffee maker but that's not the case.With the Melitta you have to heat the water in a separate container and stand there while you pour the heated water in the cone as it brews. I bought the Melitta to use when I wanted just a cup or two. I also think it taste better from the regular drip coffee maker.Still it's a good buy for the price and I think it's good to have around as a spare coffeemaker. This Melitta coffeemaker does exactly what it's designed and advertised to do. However, after it arrived and I've had a chance to use it a couple of times, I've realized my regular coffeemaker is faster and more convenient. With my regular coffeemaker I just pour the water in using the carafe and turn it on.
ROLLEYES Please read the use and care instructions that come with the coffee maker. Also, according to what I've been told, manual coffee makers make better-tasting coffee.Final note: If used properly, this product is not a fire hazard. The only negative is that it didn't come with a permanent filter. I make his coffee one cup at a time, using a plastic cone and permanent filter placed directly over his coffee cup. This product is made in Canada. The coffee maker arrived quickly; well packaged and undamaged.Overall, I'd say this is a good product for the money.
Yes, I could get a small electric coffee maker at Wally World for about $10, but this manual coffee maker will undoubtedly last a lot longer. However, I needed a larger coffee maker to use when we have visitors so I would not have to make one cup at a time. As for clean-up, all parts are top-rack dishwasher safe. I purchased one separately, though, so all is well.I almost bought the larger 10-cup model, but changed my mind when I discovered that it uses the harder-to-find #6 filters. We never have too many guests, and I prefer brewing coffee (and tea, for me) manually, so I was happy to find this coffee maker. I don't drink coffee, but my husband does.
It's just what I was looking for. Also, the smaller model doesn't take up too much storage room in my kitchen cabinet.After reading some poor reviews from people who ordered this product from Ambient Weather, I ordered mine from Joe Muscle.
