Great for tea– with a few suggestions I’m a tea drinker and, yes, I know this system probably makes true tea aficionados crazy, but I like to make a pot of tea and drink it throughout the morning, and with most traditional tea systems you either have to make one cup at a time or find a way to keep your tea hot for several hours. For years, I used another brand of coffeemaker and just put the loose tea in the paper filter and set it to “strong” which brewed the tea longer. My system worked well, but I also had to have a coffeemaker dedicated only to tea because coffee interfered with the flavor.
Nice design, makes good coffee – I just hate the beeping Overall, this is a well-made coffee maker. When I first unpacked it, I was disappointed in the silver plastic buttons and strips (the faceplate on the bottom of the unit, and on the handle of the pot). However, after getting it set up and getting used to it over the past couple of weeks, I really like how it looks. The more enclosed area around the pot that gives it a rectangular look appeals to me.
Attractive, sturdy, some quirks, I like it. Long review. Yes this is a very attractive coffee pot (fits right in inside a stainless trim kitchen), and despite a large array of convenience features, it can be as simple to operate as pushing one button to brew (the on-off button) coffee. I really like the safety feature of the power button being near the top, as my old coffee maker had it on the base, such that anything that was slid on the counter, quite often inadvertently turned on the power, and it was only the vaguely hot burning smell that alerted you to the event. This is further enhanced by the auto one or two hour turn off, the beep which alerts you that the brew cycle is finished and the timer that shows how long since the brew cycle completed.
