Amazing little coffee maker! Love the color, and the matching scoop it comes with is perfectly adorable! The size is great for saving counter space and makes it easy to store. It feels very well made with (so far) durable materials, and it’s very easy and quick to clean, which is a big deal for people like me who (too) often forget to empty the carafe / filter until the next day. The performance is better than expected. Brews fast and quiet with no leakage when pausing to pour mid-brew. Keeps my coffee warm all morning (~2-3 hours) without burning it. Honestly no complaints! I only wish it came in more color options. Overall 10/10 for quality, performance, looks and price.

Very nice small coffee maker. The yellow color is cute and cleans easily. The brew is quick. My only negative comment is that you must take care not to "tip" the pot while poring as it will spill out on the counter.

Got this coffee maker a couple weeks ago as a replacement for my 15 year old maker. I hated to let the old one go (since we had been through so much together) but I had to when the button to start it stop functioning and I could not fix it. Anyway, I decided that non-digital was the way to go, so I wouldn't have to go through the same thing again.This little coffee maker rocks. I am not sure what the people writing negative reviews of this thing are doing to it (here's a hint: Maybe don't use it brew on the Spanish Announcers' table at a WWE Royal Rumble !). The plastic on this coffee maker is sturdy and doesn't break easily. The pot comes well protected and probably will get to you whole. The basket is easy to use and clean, with the lid locking down securely and no steam escaping. The only thing to watch out for is the rate of pour from the pot as it can spill out a little if you pour too much. It turns on simple and clean. The maker does stay on until you turn it off, so don't forget or you will be cleaning the pot. Also, watch out for the steam relief holes in the top of the lid as it might hurt your hand if put it over them during the brewing process.Flavor: Good flavor and favorable brewing strength. I use a paper filter in conjunction with the permanent one to achieve the ground free desired effect. I do this with my home coffee maker and continued the practice here at work. Don't know if there would be grounds that get through without doing this, but clean up is easier.Function: I use Cafe' Bustelo (used for Cuban coffee, usually) because it is a finer grind. The finer the grind the stronger the coffee (think of water soaking through gravel verses soaking through sand). This coffee maker does not get backed up at the basket and overflow with finely ground coffee (sometimes happens with other coffee makers).Cleaning: Basket and brew stop come out for easy washing. Damp sponge takes care of the rest.It IS made in China, like everything else (wanted to get that out of the way for the Xenophobes)In summary, good coffee maker, good price, fun color. Get it and enjoy using it.
