What do I like about my coffee maker

I like the fact that it doesn't have a carafe and you can dispense with one hand.

This is great, no more glass ones that get broken, and you can still lift the carafe off and pour the coffee into a thermos.

The only problem we seem to be having after owning it for a year is that the flow of the coffee seems to be slowing down. We descaled it but it did not help.

Thinking the small screen above the dispenser along with the dispenser might be the problem, I took it apart to try to clean it out, it was a tricky getting all the little pieces back in place (it is not meant to be taken apart!)

The flow is still very slow, alot slower than the newer, less used one in our RV.


Do I regret buying it?

No, I actually bought the smaller version (6 cup)for our RV.

If any of them stops working, I will buy another.


What are the advantages

No glass carafe, one handed dispensing, fully programmable.


What type of coffee do I use for it

We grind our own, and the coffee tastes great.
