Works great! Beautiful pop of color. Comes with reusable filter and a little coffee scooper. I read in some reviews that it dribbles down the pot when pouring but my experience with this coffee pot was that it didn't dribble if you don't try to just dump the whole pot when pouring. If you poor it just a tad slower it won't dribble at all. It does not have auto shut off but I didn't need that as I always turn it off just before pouring my first cup of coffee. Read more

When I moved i only brought a french press with me then remembered I'm a lazy person who doesn't wanna go through that every day. I picked this up because I didn't feel I needed anything more complicated/bigger and the colour matches my kitchen. It sure is a device that makes coffee! I'm giving it four stars bc its cute and does what its supposed to and I'm easy to please but honestly some of the feature it claims I haven't noticed. I've tried the "auto shut off" it claims to have to pour a cup while its still brewing and they ended in disaster- absolutely just kept going. It frequently still drips a bit when its actually fully done brewing. I worry about the glass quality- it feels really thin and Im worried of it breaking but so far its been fine. I would say this is a good place holder coffee maker until you're able to get something better. Read more

Well, I did have a problem at first with trying to figure out how the arm that pumps water over the coffee basket works. But finally, I realized that there is a little "guide" in the lid that moves the arm over when closed. This little detail should have been included in the instructions. Otherwise, this little pot works great! My former small pot makes just four cups, and I wanted something slightly larger. I switch every other day from my Keurig to drip coffee. This 5-cup pot is perfect for my needs, and works as it should. Read more

UPDATE: This is a little embarrassing. I wrote a review raving about this coffeemaker and especially the color saying how much I loved it -- but it's the color that prompted me to return my kitchen to the way it was before I bought it: white (see photo). I found that the strength of the teal color distracted me even though it picked up the same color used in other places in my kitchen. So, now I'm packaging the coffeemaker to donate it to Goodwill. Why am I still giving this 5 stars? Because the coffeemaker deserves the praise I gave it just a few days ago. If your kitchen can be improved by a very strong color, go for it. Original review: I had a Keurig in this same shade of teal and loved it, but had to return it because I ended up being allergic to it (long story having to do with K cups and foil lids releasing chemicals when the hot water hits them), so I searched Amazon for a coffee maker that would bring teal back into my kitchen. The coffee maker arrived today and right away I ran two pots of water through it as directed in the instructions. After the first potful I lifted the lid and discovered that steam causes hot water to form on the underside of the lid. I got burned (no big deal,, but not something I want to happen again). The water runs down from the lid and now I know to just let it run and not reach for the filter till it has stopped. The coffee pot is very easy to use, and also lightweight. It's almost like a toy. But it makes good coffee. I can't use the reusable filter because I don't have a disposal and a plumber warned me not to dump coffee grounds down the sink. I bought #2 cone filters to use instead and they work great. In fact the filter was better than the paper filters I'd been using in a Mr. Coffee machine. By that, I mean the coffee was a little less bitter (I like some bitterness from my Folger's Colombian coffee, but reducing it a bit tastes good). The cone filter fit perfectly and was easy to remove and dump. I'm not sure what the cone filter is made of. It doesn't feel like paper. Hard to describe so I won't even try. Because the coffee maker is not fancy and has just an on/off button you can use it with one of Amazon's smart plugs that lets you turn it on and off via your voice. I like that because as soon as I wake up, I tell Alexa to turn on the coffee and by the time I make it to the kitchen, the coffee is already made. I did that for years when I was using my Mr. Coffee (the model with just a on/off switch). I'll probably buy another of these coffee makers just so I'll have one on hand to replace the one I got today if it ever stops working. I hate it when I find something I love and then when I need a new one, I find out it's no longer available. Ditto for the matching toaster which I also received today. I worried the colors would be slightly different because of how the photos looked online, but I worried for nothing because they're perfect twins. The company also offers several other small appliances in the teal color. Read more
