Customer Ratings & Reviews

I've been thinking about buying this coffeemaker for about a year but evrytime I think I'm ready to take the plunge on a $550 coffeemaker, I read a negative review that turns me off. I finally couldn't live with some of the issues with my 12 year old Cuisinart so I ignored the negative reviews & gave this a try. Let me say from the get go, I couldn't be happier with that decision. Do I wish this wasn't $550? Sure. Is it worth $550? That would depend on who's asking & why. To me, the answer is yes & I'll explain why. I really never wanted a coffeemaker that didn't have a heating plate or a glass carafe. This machine has neither but what it does have is an excellent, insulated stainless steel carafe that keeps the coffee hot for well over an hour. 'Hot' is a subjective word & can mean different things to different people so I used my thermapen to find out EXACTLY how hot. Upon completion of brewing 4 cups of coffee, the coffee measured 178.6⁰ in the carafe, in my kitchen. That's without preheating the carafe by pouring boiling water in it or preheating the mug. After exactly 1 hour the coffee measured 174.4⁰ & that was after drinking my mug's worth. After exactly 2 hours the remaining coffee was still a respectable 145⁰. In my currently 75⁰ kitchen, pouring this coffee into an heated mug & adding just sugar (no milk) left the coffee easily drinkable but not hot. I would think that using a prewarmed mug the 145⁰ leftover coffee would have felt even warmer. The carafe does take a little getting used to--it is heavier than a typical glass carafe & pours a lot slower. The reason for the slow pour is the smart lid design, as it's also insulated to retain heat. Some reviewers have stated there is a 'keep warm' function or heating plate but that is definitely not the case. There is a count up timer that tells you 'how many minutes since brewed'. Besides how nice this coffeemaker looks in my kitchen there are practicalities & they are what attracted me to this machine. They are a removable water tank & a slide out drawer where you add the coffee filter & grounds. These are 2 items I felt necessary on any new coffee machine I purchased & 2 items that I couldn't, find together on ANY other coffee machine. Some machines had a removable water tank, others only had a way to add the filter & coffee without lifting the entire machine out from under the cabinet. But NO machine had both. Another feature of this machine is that it has a grounds scale. This is a nice feature for some but not really for me as my Breville burr grinder precisely measures the amount of coffee. Using my grinder for comparison, in order to get a similar flavor (though tastier) in this machine as in my old Cuisnart (as it happens to be the flavor I like) I use the Accu-Brew setting on 1 notch towards bold past the normal setting. I could get the same result without measuring the coffee, & using the AUTO setting, since my Breville grinder is so accurate but I like to use the tech when I buy something! Almost forgot to mention how fast this machine brews--my old Cuisinart would take 8-10 minutes to brew 4 cups of coffee (depending how cold the water was), this machine is less than half that. As I've previously stated, this Wolf coffeemaker actually looks stylish under my cabinets, with my Breville burr grinder on its right side. The settings are easy to understand & buttons & dials clearly labeled & easy to see. I heartily recommend this Wolf Coffee machine to anyone seriously considering spending this much, you won't be disappointed.

This coffeemaker is well designed and produces an excellent cup of coffee every time and very quickly.

This is an attractive and highly functional coffee maker. We bought it using Best Buy rewards from a large applicance purchase, otherwise the price would have turned us off. The Accubrew function is the main selling point for us. No matter how many cups of coffee we want to make, this keeps it tasting exactly the same. We don't like that you must take the lid off to get the last 1/2 cup of coffee out, though. All in all, a great coffeemaker

I love my coffee maker. It's not only pretty, but it also makes delicious coffee.

Coffee tastes great. Easy to use. Carafe is a bit heavy.

I purchased this coffee maker because of Wolf reputation and am glad that I did. i'm very pleased with it.

I have had many premium coffee makers. This thing rocks. Best coffee maker I have ever had. Yummy for my tummy.

Very high quality and looks good with my other Wolf accessories.

One of the best just wish it made 12 cups instead of 10

Awesome. Coffee is super hot and stays that way for hours.

Im thinking of buying this, im curious if the peogram has auto start, since I wake up very early to go to work. If it does, I will seriously consider it. Im planning on using the carafe for auto start, if that is one of the option.thank you in advance.

Not worth the price, very simple and old fashioned system, doesn’t matter how much water you put in the tank, i will use all the water regardless of how many cups you set at. There is no measuring shown on the water tank but on the side of the tank and you have to remove the water tank to see that but still that doesn’t make any difference since I will use all the water in the tank. Retuning it, sorry
