    Thought I’d buy an expensive coffee pot that wouldn’t leak water on the counter like my past cheaper ones have. After only five brews this one has started doing the same thing! I guess mankind cant make one that doesn't. Second photo shows where it leaks while brewing. I really wanted this to be the best. Taking back for a refund :(

    Good coffee make but still returned

    Pros: -love the customization -great smooth full bodied brew -looks great Cons: -kind of big -a lot of water is left in the reservoir... enough that this is a main reason I returned the coffee maker -the burner keeping it hot wasn’t consistent -too many pieces to keep track of I struggled with keeping or returning because I really liked the coffee, and I really liked the idea of using this to make pour over coffee. However, I was worried about the long term use and for the price it was fairly close to the Ninja.

    I'm what you might call a coffee snob. But, sometimes you want simple and most of all repeatable. this is exactly what this is. I use cone insert with paper filters (that don't come with) and do 4 cups on gold setting. I've weighed and measured everything and it is spot on. Cheers to good coffee.

    I've been using this coffee maker for almost a year and it continues to give me great coffee cup after cup. I like that it uses the amount of water that I put in so I can control the water to coffee ratio. I am able to get great tasting coffee even using pre-ground coffee. I adjusted the My Brew settings to get the perfect cup for me. I brew one cup at a time and it never disappoints!

    Best Coffee I’ve Ever Made

    Yeah, so I can’t take all the credit. The preset Gold Cup mode (the default setting) is designed to make coffee that is consistently good, provided you follow the guidelines with regards to ratios of grounds to water, use freshly-roasted beans, filtered water, etc. You do need to do a few setup steps the first go around, but after that it’s straightforward, and pretty user friendly. The complication comes in messing with different settings to see if there’s some alternate method you like even better. I haven’t experimented with making iced or cold-brew, yet. Soon, though; soon. I like having the option to brew up to 20 oz (single cup limit) and place my travel mug directly into the unit; no need to worry about cleaning the carafe afterwards! Speaking of, it’s debatable, but I will say that I find the glass carafe preferable in terms of both taste, and the ease of maintenance (I ordered the glass version online, since they only carry the thermal ones in-store). Some say it’s better to have the stainless steel thermal one, but I pour the whole batch right away, so keeping it warm isn’t of concern to me. To each their own, though. Also, I do recommend investing in a good quality conical burr grinder. They’re more expensive than blade grinders, sure, but it’s worth it if you want better tasting results, I’d say.

    Splurged on this higher priced drip coffee maker. Have had cuisinart and mr. coffee machines, but none seem to last more than a few years. This takes up a lot of real estate and barely fits under the cabinet, but we use it daily, so that’s ok. Has many brew features I may never use, but if it doesn’t break down after 3 years, I will say it’s a good value.

    I bought it and it worked great at first but after 3 weeks it no longer had a working burner. I then replaced it because I am a Total member and the same one new did the same thing. I ended up getting a different brand. Do not buy if you do not like the burner failing after just getting the coffee maker.

    The Breville precision coffee maker is by far the best coffee maker I've owned to date. With the bloom time and flow rate and temperature adjustments, you can dial up the perfect cup of coffee. Build quality is very robust, just a all around great machine.

    So tired of drinking lukewarm coffee. Searched and searched for a brewer with adjustable temperature. While it does fall short of percolator pot coffee it is hotter than any other makers we have had. Nice looking and feels like a better build than the others also.

    Nice but expensive coffee maker. Makes good coffee and has a lot of options for different brews and temps but would be nice to have a longer keep warm time if needed.

    Completely satisfied with this coffee machine. You can customize the strength and temperature of you coffee in the my brew program. The iced coffee program makes excellent coffee. Programming this machine is easy. If you have problems programming things, the directions to are easy to follow. We got the glass carafe and the warming plate keeps your coffee hot for 2 hour's. The filter basket might drip once or twice when you pull the carafe after it just brewed, but what coffee maker doesn't. I highly recommend thus coffee machine.

    I read the reviews and still thought the negatives were isolated incidents. The first time using it failed in two ways. First it accumulated air bubbles in the water tank that prevented the sensor from acknowledging it was full of water. I had to disconnect the machine take to the sink and turn it over to dump out the water. Then I filled up with water again and it still would not work. This time the “insert carafe” was showing. I had to put the carafe in and out 4 times before it acknowledged. I returned the next day and bought a cheaper Cuisinart that does not look as fancy but I feel will last for years trouble free.

    common fill water tank error

    Keep getting the fill tank error even though the tank is full of water. Do not recommend buying. To fix, you have to dump the entire tank out(tank is not removable either) then refill. Afterwards, you can not have water sitting in the tank for more than 5 minutes, which means you can never program it to make coffee later. For the price, it should have a better water tank sensor. Returning it and buying something else.

    Garbage. We had the thermal one and the glass one, both make good coffee, but the problem is that the thermal one doesn’t keep the coffee hot at all. The glass one is cheaply made and makes a mess of itself when it drips into the carafe. The baskets on both end up creating a mess under the cone filter as well.

    Coffee maker works great, but intimidated my (silver haired) parents. We had to sit down w the machine and the manual and go through the options and interface carefully, repeatedly. Now that they know the drill, they love the machine and coffee.
