Coffee time is good for coffee, tea and espresso

Not too impressed. I like that it turns off automatically, but it would be nice to be able to set the time it stays on. The only option is to turn it off after two hours. Also, I didn't realize that you have to add beans and preferred amount each time you want to grind and brew. I compared to another coffee pot that you fill the basket and it uses what it takes and can be adjusted.

Pros
  • Complete set
Cons
  • There are some nuances

Most clogged coffee maker that "prevents clogging "

Non-clogging coffee grinder clogs more times than I can count. You need to make sure everything is 100 percent dry before adding grains. Any moisture is a mess of wet coffee beans just lying there. I leave the top open to dry all day and even if you don't wipe it down you'll be a mess in the morning.

Pros
  • Acceptable
Cons
  • Minor issues

Doesn't grind beans all the time

I tried grinding and brewing coffee at a friend's and it was the best cup of coffee I've had outside of a coffee shop. So I bought this brand from Hamilton and it was a big disappointment. I've read reviews that the bean hopper needs to be dry. Some grains also remain bone dry in the grinder, but inconsistently. Therefore, it is not possible to continuously brew a good cup of coffee. When I use ground coffee and just set the machine to brew, the coffee comes out great. But I can do it with my…

Pros
  • Always liked
Cons
  • Communication with seller

Not what I was hoping for

This thing is LOUD! I mean, the jet takes off loud! TWICE per brew! Forget waking up to the smell of freshly ground beans and brewed coffee - you'll be awakened by the screeching of a coffee grinder coming from multiple rooms! Maybe, maybe I could get used to it. But that's not my only problem with this car. The first cup of coffee is pretty good out of the pot, but the burner is so hot that it has too long an aftertaste on the second cup of coffee and the last cup tastes like crap. I put…

Pros
  • So far so good
Cons
  • Definitely a bad product
