This coffee pot makes excellent coffee and rivals the Mokkamaster which we also have. However the hot plate, even when on, does not keep coffee hot enough to go back for a second cup a half hour later. I know that you don't want the coffee baking away and getting ruined, but if your routine is to have a cup of coffee and then go get a second from the original pot a half hour or 40 minutes later, you will not be able to do that without utilizing the microwave to warm your coffee back up. If they had a thermal carafe version I would probably get that and keep it, but they do not, so the search continues. Read more

Very first cup of coffee from Simply Good tasted significantly better than any coffee I'd ever made for myself before. Round, rich, full flavor, no bitterness. Though I use cream and a bit of sugar, straight black was fabulous too. (I may have to switch.) I have been using the classic Braun Aromaster for the past 30 years because it brewed great coffee, but the Simply Good was far superior in taste. I am surprised every morning just how good my coffee is. This is what I like about it: 1. Small footprint, does not eat up entire counter like many coffee makers. 2. Simple operation -- easy to fill with filter, coffee and water. One button on and coffee's ready in 6 minutes. 3. Coffee is properly hot. 4. Cost is reasonable, and a lot less (sometimes by half) than similar coffee makers. 5. Attractive appearance, it looks like it makes good coffee, and it does! 6. Just one minor concern: automatic turnoff in 40 minutes (I know--to keep the coffee from burning) but I just hit the on button for another 40 minutes. That said, this my coffee maker for the next 30 years. Highly recommended. Read more

Bought myself a brewer for Xmas. I love it. Highly impressed. It does one thing very, very well. It makes an amazing cup of coffee. I purposely chose this brewer because of the things people most commented on in ads: 1- the glass carafe. Glass lends to a truer taste. 2- shorter warming plate time. This maker is designed to always deliver a consistent flavor. 3- the mixing tube in the carafe. It accounts for heavier taste at the bottom of the pot and funnels the brewing coffee so that it distributes oils and flavor evenly through the carafe. 4- the bloom function. Imagine a cross between a pour over and a french press. It delivers low acidity and depth of flavor. Also, was pleasantly surprised that the brewed coffee temperature is perfect for sipping immediately from carafe to mug, no waiting for it to cool to sip. I'm a fan for life. Read more

I really wanted to love this coffee maker. It is similar to the Bonavita coffee maker at a better price point. I looked at the seller/manufacturer’s website and was impressed by this small American company that puts all their focus into this one product. However, I have been less impressed in an increasing amount as I continue to use it. I have had the “Simply Good Coffee” machine for a month. The Good - It does indeed make a really good full bodied cup of coffee with almost no bitterness regardless of the brand and roast amount of the beans. I’ve tried several. The Bad - 1 - from the first day, the bloom feature has not functioned at all. When I sent an email to the company about this, they replied with different instructions for this feature than the instructions stated that shipped with the coffee maker. When I tried the new instructions, the bloom feature still did not function. 2 - After a few days of use, the warming plate began to buzz nearing the end of a brew cycle. This was not the kind of sound that happens when coffee drips on to a warming plate. As well, the buzz has gotten worse steadily since then. It now buzzes off and on through the entire brewing cycle. 3 - The carafe is a bad design. It is very easy to misjudge when pouring and spill coffee onto the counter. 4 - This is a big one. I usually drink my coffee right after it brews. Today, I poured my coffee into my cup 20 minutes after the machine stopped brewing. The coffee was not hot at all. The warming plate failed to keep the coffee hot that reasonable amount of time. So, at this point I have decided to return my “Simply Good Coffee” coffee maker and purchase a Bonavita (same type of coffee maker) which is what I should have done in the first place. You really do get what you pay for. Read more

I don't know what it is about this coffee maker, but the quality of the coffee it brews is amazing. It isn't an expensive coffee maker. It is fairly simple to use, but wow. I find I brew less coffee because I am no longer bolting it down. I savor it. It tastes really good. The pros: -simple to use. Pour in water, but grounds in filter basket. Flip the switch on. Done. Literally two switches. -fast - coffee is ready quickly and tastes amazing -easy to clean. -Measurements on side are accurate. Which, frankly, is amazing. Most are way off. -Burner turns off after twenty minutes. No more burned coffee, no more wondering if you left the coffee maker on. Cons -bloom function is perhaps too simple. There is a manual lever on the filter basket that you close, do the bloom function, then you open it up. If you are like me, you might just forget to open that lever again. Coffee overflows filter (and I recognize that problem exists between coffee maker and human!) And really - that is the only quibble. Coffee machine is not idiot (or coffee deprived) proof. I had some initial issues getting the coffee maker, and then I pouted about it for about a month. Bought an OXO which is fine - but then I moved house, and this was easier to set up and well, then I stopped pouting. This is an amazing coffee maker. Proof again of what Einstein said - make everything as simple as possible, but no simpler. Read more
