Review on ☕ Gevi 4-Cup Coffee Maker with Auto-Shutoff, Compact Drip Coffeemaker, Cone Filter Brewer, Glass Carafe & Hot Plate, in Stainless Steel Finish by Denise Rose

This is a great inexpensive clone with a spout and a few nifty features. In general, the coffee is strong. It also looks great on the counter and I love the side profile. Pros: * Insulated filter basket * Fast brew time * Brew flow regulator - love it! in the wrong direction, you should push the handle, not pull it. It is uncomfortable when the coffee machine is pressed against the wall.* The water tank is measured in litres. Completely alien to me and basically useless.* The flow of coffee from the basket splits into two paths. You often see two jets of coffee escaping, which do not fall directly into the hole, but hit the lid of the pot. Strange design.* You can't just flip the basket upside down and take it out, you need to take off the lid first. An extra moving part to worry about.* The overflow spout appears to be a gimmick - water mainly flows out of the first or both holes. The best part of this coffee maker, which overcomes some of those limitations, is the brew control knob on the basket. I keep it closed while the filter basket fills with water to allow it to swell a bit, then slowly open it to allow the basket to fill with water and fully saturate the soil. Such a great feature! For less than forty dollars, this is a great coffee maker that is well worth the money! EDIT: After a month, the coffee maker started "coughing" and "spitting" all the time while brewing and emitting a huge amount of steam. That. It still brews coffee (sort of) but is noisy and I have to believe a good percentage of the water escapes into the air. I'm not very happy with that and have resorted to True Flood most of the time. EDIT 2: Now it's completely broken and not working. It just spits out some water and steam. Do not buy.
