the write-up in amazon for this coffee maker is terrible. nowhere is the capacity given. The model # ends in 15 so we believed it had a 15 cup capacity when we ordered it. No it is not, it is a simple 10 cup size. too tall for a small capacity. insulated cafe works well for a while.

Only uou can answer;put in good coffee product; it will make good coffee, keeping it drinkably hot surprisingly long. You are making ice coffee; buy another. Bonus: Though not an ornament, most find it inoffensive, if not attractive, on the counter. No problem to report; ours has worked well for two years. Just bought another as a birthday present for my sister;they are still becoming aquainted.

I think the note below sent to Amazon says it all. The coffee maker is defective but not so broken as Amazon “service. ”
———-
Okay, now I am really annoyed.
You provided a defective product — a coffee maker that leaks right out of the box. Okay, stuff happens.
But then your system got ugly.
When I did the return process I selected the option
UPS pickup: Have package picked up from the address to which it was originally shipped.
Instead on honoring that request, your system decided to give me a postal service label and your instructions now say:
Give the package to your letter carrier or take the package to your nearest post office for delivery. No postage is necessary if the package is mailed from within the United States.
No, this is not user error. When I figured out what was wrong I did some browser backs to check. I said, “Pick this up. ” Your system’s reply was, “No way. sucker. Haul it to the post office. ”
Excuse me, but this is no way to treat customers unless you want fewer of them. Do you really want me to leave work, go to the post office, and return the defective product? If so, rest assured, I will not be buying from Amazon in the future.

Based on past experience, I suspect some human at Amazon will get the mess remediated but, alas, the whole Amazon process seems to be driver toward doing business without any human intervention.

To be honest, I haven’t brewed coffee in this machine so I can’t comment on the quality of the coffee it makes. I’m returning it unused because the #4 filters they tell you to use don’t fit. They stick out of the basket more than a quarter of an inch. When you swing the basket into place, there’s a plastic feed arm that is supposed to automatically swing over the center of the filter basket. However, because the #4 filter sticks up so high, the arm can’t swing over. I tried cutting the filters down and that worked better but who wants to do that every time? Also, to fill the reservoir you have to use the carafe. No big deal. Except there’s a piece on the top of the carafe that has to be taken off for the brewing process and then put back on if you want to keep the coffee warm in the carafe. This machine is way too much trouble.

I have not purchased this product, so the 1 star has no meaning, but I do use #4 Melitta Coffee filters in my current coffee maker.
What I do with the filters (and what the box instructs you to do)is to fold the bottom edge up and fold the side edge over on the filter before use.
If the other folks who purchased this product are not folding their filters, this may cause the problem of the filter being too high for this coffee maker.
