| Customer Reviews: Average Rating:  Rating : - Perfection! Yes, it needs to be on a level surface. And yes, it's best if you rinse everything out after each use. And yes, it's true that the cups do not keep coffee piping hot forever.
But in the real world of making your morning cup, if you freshly grind good beans, use good water, and just follow the directions (including the suggestion to put hot water in the cups to warm them before you brew; we let them sit and warm up while grinding, filling the reservoir, etc.), this gives you an EXCELLENT brew every time, without taking up a lot of acreage on your countertop.
We've been using two of these (one at home, one at our "pied a terre") for over a year, replacing MUCH more expensive makers we've reboxed and stored.
There's just nothing like the conical filter basket.
And at Amazon's current price, it's a steal.
UPDATE: I liked this product so much I just ordered a third one. BUT - it was being sold via Today's Concept, who charges a hefty price for shipping and uses - ugh! - FedEx.
Of course, FedEx delivered someone else's package to my house, and my package to someone else's. After promising to correct this on Friday (they didn't) today (Saturday) they say they'll "get to it" on Monday.
Fine, except that I'll be on vacation Monday.
There's no telling when I - or the person who's package I received - will get what we ordered.
So ... having had NO problems in YEARS with UPS, I'm suggesting you avoid sellers who use FedEx.
This is STILL an awesome coffee maker, and now I note that you can get it via Amazon's Prime program. Go for it.
