Review on Automatic Machine Programmable Capacity Aluminum by Lauren Marley

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Very nice and easy to use machine

It's BIG but with the grinder that comes with it I'm pretty sure it's inevitable. It fits under the cabinets, but you have to pull it out to add water and beans. It is what it is. The water tank is narrow and at the back, so you'll definitely need room to add water without spilling it. I really like the six videos they are posting on the Revain site. Very helpful. Tells me they are serious about their product. It's easy to use (but read the instructions anyway). I confess that I haven't ground any beans yet because I have a good supply of already ground coffee. The taste is AMAZING. Even when I was grinding beans myself, I didn't like BLACK coffee! I've been trying to get used to it for two years. I tried French Drip, Pour Over, INSTANT (which was as good as any of them). I tried the tea (again!) (still not for me). I got rid of all attributes. For me it was not worth the money! I've finally found a low-acid coffee that's so good I bought a coffee maker. I will rub again! By the way, I saw reviews on other machines, and probably this one too, with complaints about soaking grains from steam. They address this in one of the videos, but I'll add that I put a paper towel in the bean hopper while doing the three pot cleaning exercise and I found NO moisture. Probably something else to know. Any combo device can have this problem. I'm finally back in coffee heaven!

Pros
  • Great design
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging
