My little coffee pot turned out to be a great addition to my kitchen. It made very good coffee. I had been using a single drip method over my cup. It was good but the maker makes better coffee. I am pleased.Perfect for not wasting coffee if you're the only one who drinks it. It makes enough coffee to fill two mugs. It's easy to quickly clean. I'm really happy with it, and I love that it doesn't take up any space on my counter because my kitchen is small.When it first comes in, soap wash the glass, and just brew water a couple times really quickly to clean it.It looks classy, not cheap.Simple, easy to use, great brew & pause to serve during the full brew. Exactly the size I need just for myself. Wanted the permanent reusable filter & it came with one. Love!This pot is small and easy to use.Love this coffee pot. Not real sturdy, but plenty good enough for me; and the value for your money is good. Both the tank and the pot have a 4 cup mark, but I measured it due to other reviews. Both the tank and the pot at the 4 cup mark measure 2 & 2/3 actual 8 oz. cups or 21.34 ounces. I have cycled 2 pots of water (only) through the maker to cleanse it before use--works well. The warmer works very well, and I like the filter--I will be using a paper filter along with it, as I always have. I will only update this review if I am not completely satisfied with the way it makes coffee. Instructions say it is made in P.R.C., and I take that to mean China (Peoples Republic of China). Recommend, and I am glad that I bought it--so far. UPDATE: Entirely satisfied with the way it brews coffee. I found that the tank can be filled all the way a little more than the very top of the reservoir tank window--that will fill the pot up to above the 4 cup mark. And, I can even microwave to heat a little bit more of water, and pour it over the grounds to fill up the pot even more. Definitely would buy again--I really like it (especially for the money). UPDATE: I found out that this "foreign manufacturer" considers a standard cup of coffee to be 5 ounces, not 8. In this case, the markings on the reservoir window and the carafe pot are accurate. This is also the case in at least one other brand, if not more. Also, found that this brand is not right now, and may not, be available anymore.For me, this coffeemaker is about perfect. Its super small profile means it takes up nearly no space (in fact, it’s smaller in size overall than my slim-profile Kuerig knockoff and produces more coffee). The coffee it produces is deep, rich, and hot.The k-cup filters will actually work to prevent a major mess in the reusable filter, if you pull it apart and don’t mind a few of the grounds going above it (otherwise, a #2 cone filter works in place of the reusable filter). A full pot of coffee fills my 24-oz contigo mug. My last pro is how adorable it is. The top metal front piece is actually magnetic, so small notes could be placed there with a magnet if desired.My only cons on this product are: it’s so lightweight, it’s hard to lift the lid with one hand or turn off the pot afterwards because it doesn’t stay. The carafe design needs to be poured in a very specific way or it “leaks”, which isn’t great in an uncaffeinated state.My last con is not really a full con, because I wanted a small coffeemaker as I’m the only one who needs it 99% of the time. I was hopeful it would produce enough coffee to share if a friend was over, but four cups is not the final product, 3 cups is, which is the minimum either of us needs. :) Since it’s drip coffee, it does take a decent amount of time to make a pot.However, I would definitely recommend this machine. The flavor profile of my coffee is now amazing and knocked my old machine out of the park, and its small size means I have counter space back.I purchased this coffee maker a while ago, it has given me over 100 cups of coffee so far and it works like new. It’s fast and keep your coffee warm. The only small downside is the filter doesn’t work 100%, I bought cone paper filters and it’s perfect. Highly recommend.I was hesitant to buy a coffeemaker I had never heard of, but the reviews seemed to be mostly positive and I thought if it lasted a year it would be worth the price.This coffeemaker has exceeded my expectations. I was replacing an expensive, name brand coffeemaker that I was never impressed with due to how slowly it brewed the coffee. This coffeemaker was much faster without sacrificing flavor. I am very satisfied with its performance.If you’re looking for a name brand, expensive coffeemaker to sit on your counter and impress your friends, don’t buy this one. But if you’re looking for a good, fast and inexpensive coffeemaker that will brew a decent cup of coffee, this is a great choice.In about a week , my 4 cup coffee maker sprung a bad leak and my 12 cups .... died ! ..... NOW ... I need a coffee maker asap....... order on Amazon... couple days later.... COFFEE TIME ! ! ! LMAO ! ! !
