I bought this based on reviews that said the coffee was much stronger than drip grind. I'm sure that it does brew much stronger coffee than many drips, but I had to use more coffee in it and it still did not have the same strong flavor as my Krups did. Brewed VERY hot coffee however, for those who like it to start off that way. Overall, a very good backup pot for me.

I'm shopping to replace my old one that I've had and used every day since the eighties except when I was on vacation .When it looked dingy I used ''Dip It " pot cleaner this is alot better system than drip for me because my water and its minerals trashed Mr. coffies etc. I make a full pot everyday cleanes easy .. Make sure you clean out the standpipe and heating element again.. Easy .. Ive Done Wrong with it..Kept the pot on till it was dry ..emersed it to wash.. mind you not often. Can you emagine the gallons of coffie that went through er? What's wrong with her now is awire that looks like a special heat coil wire if I find arepair kit or something i'll repair it.

I researched forever before buying this coffee maker to replace my old drip machine (which never made tasty coffee, I thought it was just me). This thing had consistently positive reviews and I couldn't be happier. Probably the only thing I miss about my old coffee maker was the auto shut off. At least I never had to worry that I'd go to work without unplugging it. Aside from that, I love the coffee that comes out of this machine, I love that it brews quickly and is ridiculously easy to clean. Everyone that comes to my house is impressed and others are now going to get one too because the coffee just tastes so much better (and is so much hotter).

This is just an ordinary coffee pot. I will say that I was looking for a coffee pot that doesn't have aluminum or plastic and this fit the bill. It works just fine. Does not have the quality of my old GE pot but hopefully it will work longer than that pot. Do wish that it did not have the spout but had a direct pour from a lip at the top.

I remember my mother's freshly perked coffee that awakened you in the morning. That aroma that a drip coffee maker just can't provide, so I decided to try a percolator after all these years and this Presto coffeemaker did the trick. It makes a great cup of coffee, clean and rich with that great coffee flavor I remember. It is easy to clean and the price is perfect. I might suggest filters if you grind your own beans as I do, to keep those fine grinds from falling to the bottom of your pot, but otherwise this coffeemaker can't be beat and I would recommend it to my friends.
