Dome Brew Coffee Maker

Works great. Well designed. Easy to clean. The coffee maker we have been looking for for a long time.

I've made a number of pots of coffee in this coffee maker now, from 6 to 10 cups. All have been consistently good. Being cautious, I did run two full pots of clean water through it first. I am very satisfied with the quality of the brewed coffee, which is by far the most important thing to me. It is superior to our former Braun KF7000, which this replaced, in that and other ways. Pros - The water compartment is easy to fill, and I especially appreciate seeing the level on the side. I do pour straight from our Brita water pitcher, not from the carafe. - That said, I have compared water filled to the level marks on the carafe with the ones in the water compartment, and they align perfectly, e.g. 8 cups in the coffee pot perfectly reaches the 8 cup mark on the side of the water compartment. - The scoop amounts happen to work well for the coffee I'm currently using. (a couple varieties of Seattle's Best) - Everything has a more substantial or secure feel to it than our old Braun KF7000. - Scheduling a pot to Auto-Brew is easy. - I like that it shows how long the coffee has been on the warmer since the pot finished brewing. - Everything is easy to clean. Cons - The carafe has to be turned completely upside-down to get the last bit of coffee out. For me, that's minor. - Stuck with using the 24-hour clock (vs AM/PM); but I'm okay with that. - Having to fold the bottom and side seams on the #4 paper filters is a very minor annoyance. - It also would have been nice if it came with a couple filters to get started. I thought it would, but ours did not. - I'd prefer that the time display was not lit. We don't need yet another clock in the kitchen. And it's just one more small lamp lighting the room. But again, a very minor annoyance.

I AM RETURNING THIS BECAUSE WHEN I PULL OUT THE CARAFF DURING BRUING IT LEAKS IT SEEMS THAT MAYBE THE SPRING ACTION IS NOT STRON ENOUGH AND OR THE CUP THAT HOLD THE FILTERS PUSHES UP WHEN THE CARAFF GOES IN. I WOULD LIKE TO REORDER IF MINE WAS JUST DEFECTIVE CAN ANY ONE TELL ME IF YOU HAVE THE SAME ISSUE

It has been awesome all except one thing, the hour button you have to really lean into physically the button to get it to register that you are pressing it, it is super belligerent and I don't know why they did it that way. All the other buttons are great. Other than that it makes great coffee and is a breeze to clean.

It takes cone shaped filters which is not something I had on hand. When I got them, coffee was perfecf.

Had it a month, so far so good. Needs to last a year then a follow up review. As much as it costs should last at least 10 years. How's that for a review, now stop with the emails already!
