Great, until it broke!
Rating:1 out of 5 stars
We make coffee frequently- twice a week or so. Not often enough to have an 18 mon old coffee maker break. Very disappointed. It had been working so well, and everyone who was in our home thought it was the coolest coffee pot! Then one day I had coffee all over my counter.
great purchase
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
I have this coffee maker for over a year and it is great. some of the reviewers say its hard to clean..its not I just place mine in the dishwasher once a week and it is very clean. Still they should make this model in black. I am so glad I don’t have to clean up broken glass when a carafe breaks first thing in the morning. And the coffee comes out super fast. This is one purchase I don’t regret. BUY it!!
It makes coffee
Rating:3 out of 5 stars
It makes coffee just fine and I can’t complain about that. The white color was a mistake as it is very hard to keep clean. The big problem I have with this model is that it does not shut itself off after a designated time period. I’d pay the extra money and get the next model up that has a timer on it… and in a different color!
Fails the key test
Rating:2 out of 5 stars
While the design features and general ideas behind this brewstation are well founded, the key test for a coffee maker is simple. Can it make good coffee?
Sadly, no. This model produces batch after batch of nigh undrinkable coffee. Coffee so bitter and burnt that I end up throwing it away. In addition, all of the other comments about staining, poor measuring, etc. – ring absolutely true.
Two stars for the effort. Hard to get higher when it can’t perform the basic task around which it is designed.

Way under average coffeemaker !

I bought this coffeemaker after the carafe from my old coffeemaker broke believing that this will prevent future accidents.
This coffeemaker does make coffee but it has several disadvantages. First thing is that after only a couple of usage the stains inside out is impossible to get cleaned. The second and the most annoying problem is that you can’t go cup wise with this machine. In other words, when it shows in the capacity window that it has 2 cups left from that point on it is impossible to get a clean cup of coffee without dripping from the machine itself on the cabinet and floor and everywhere. It is a disaster. Also, What I don’t like about it is that you always have to do guesswork about how much water you already added to machine since the reservoir of it does not have the measurement window. Overall, I don’t like this machine and am looking forward to go back to a good carafe based coffeemaker soon.
Very nice product

I like this coffee maker. It is fast and easy. Absolutely no problems.
Don’t like the plastic taste
Rating:2 out of 5 stars
I love the idea of this coffeemaker but from the first pot of coffee it has had a very bad plastic taste. I have cleaned the “pot” with baking soda, white vinegar, put it in the dishwasher, and washed it numerous times and the coffee still has a horrible plastic taste. After it sits awhile the taste is worse and I’ve had to throw out a lot of coffee. It does drip usually just one drip after you dispense a cup but that’s not really a problem. The pot that the coffee sits in should be made of or at least lined in glass or stainless steel. I would gladly pay extra for that. This morning I tossed it in the trash after having to throw out a whole pot of coffee that tasted horrible. I wrote Proctor Silex 4 times about this with no response. No more Proctor Silex for me.
Excellent coffee maker
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I have had this coffee maker for quite a few months and absolutely love it. Its so convenient and the coffee stay hot and fresh. Its has a clock and timer and the style is beautiful. I so enjoy this product and it much better than a glass pot over a hot burner which will make the coffee age and taste bitter. I think its a wonderful product.
Good stuff

What I love about this brewstation is that everything that could get dirty and over time, unsightly, is readily washable. With a coffee maker the hot plate usually wears away, and the coffee stains, no matter how diligent you are, don’t come clean. Only a few parts of a coffeemaker can be cleaned thoroughly. However, with the brewstation the coffee tank lifts off and can be washed at will, as can the filter and the drip tray. Cosmetically speaking this is really great. My husband is having a hard time getting used to this because he misses the carafe. He also finds it big. Well, our old coffeemaker was for 5 cups and this is for 10, so of course it’s bigger. I on the other hand love this precisely because there IS no carafe. No breaking, no replacing, no cleaning. The size is fine and the machine is compact. As to the coffee it makes: We haven’t yet made a perfect cup of coffee, which isn’t the machine’s fault, but ours. We bought a grinder along with the brewstation and so we’re using two new products at the same time. I can tell you that the coffee is quickly made, stays hot and not bitter. With a couple of more attempts I think we’ll master a really, really good cup of coffee. I do have one quibble with this machine. I think the water level indicator should be on the water reservoir and not in the front. However, this is just my preference and why it got 4 stars and not 5. Overall, a really terrific product.
UPDATE 3/17/06 Well, my husband has gotten over the “I miss the carafe, and this is too big” situation. I adore this coffeemaker
and we have made and continue to make truly excellent coffee. We like coffee strong without being bitter and I have found that for 10 cups I use 10-11 full scoops of coffee. All the visible parts are pristine. The basket is clean, although the inside reservoir is stained. It’s time for a cleaning. All in all we’re both very happy with this and certainly recommend it highly.
