After A LOT of research, we bought this coffee maker and love it. Other reviews have mentioned weak coffee, which I don't understand. We like it strong and it brews strong coffee just fine.
A few points:
We never used the gold filter, immeadiately started using paper ones, which we prefer.
It brews quickly.
Keeps coffee VERY hot -- hotter than any other coffee maker I have used.
The filter access button is SO wonderful and easy.
My only complaint is that the carafe dribbles when I pour a cup of coffee no matter how careful I am. My husband insists this does not happen to him and I am just pouring too fast...

Great looking but an OK coffee maker

This is my first coffee maker. I searched all over the place and found good reviews for this model, and decent price on Amazon ($49.99). After using it for 10 days, this is what I think:
- This coffee maker is really cute. Great looks.
- You can not use fine coffee with Gold filter...the coffee is filled with granules. If uou want to use fine coffee, use cheap old paper filters.
- Auto off and pause-and-serve functions work well.

Overall an OK coffee maker, but not great.

I am not sure if I will buy it again.

Great looks . . . poor coffee

I purchased this model to replace a five-year-old basic Krups machine that stopped working. This coffeemaker is beautifully designed and has an ideal combination of features, but the coffee it makes doesn't have the deep, rich flavor I had experienced with the old Krups. The water flows through quickly in a continuous stream and isn't in contact with the grounds very long. After two weeks of adjusting the amount of coffee, I gave up and purchased a Krups Procafe II.
