Waring Pro - 14-Cup Coffee Maker - Black stainless steel

Just my opinion on price point. This comes packaged with what will feel like third world warehouse line work. Not all contents are not factory sealed ( just the water filter ) everything else will have poor quality packaging. Product: Power cable 26" from bottom rear of unit. Height under 14 1/2" Width and Depth under 9" each direction. Glass does scratch very effortlesly. This would make a great Black Friday Coffee Maker for that awesome gift under all of the family members trees. Buy at 19.99, this is my conclusion or do not get upset for paying more then this amount.

Actually, the black chrome coffee pot is a good looking appliance and it does make good coffee, BUT so did my Mr. Coffee, coffee pot. I purchased it because it was on-sale and, coincidentally, my Mr. Coffee appliance had just stopped working - what timing ! ! ! It normally sells for $99.99. I wouldn't pay that price - I mean it is a coffee pot, not a status symbol.

hands down this is the best coffee maker I have ever had. high capacity! easiest pouring! excellent brewing! the only thing I would change about this coffee pot is that I wish the time was backlit so I could see what time it was without having to turn the light on and no it is not in my kitchen I have a coffee station set up in the computer room! I picked this up on some kind of super sale a few months back when my old one died for $19.99 but now that I have used it for several months I would gladly pay full price for this thing and if you are a coffee lover it is totally worth the asking price and more. in short I am very happy with this coffee maker and you will too!

Style, function and love the auto off setting after brewing!

I was surprised at how good this coffee maker is. The coffee pot itself does not leak or spill when pouring. I can’t even make it spill. The coffeemaker unit is sealed tight on the inside. If the water overflows the filter when brewing, and carries the coffee grounds with it, the inside coffee grounds section is somehow completely enclosed. The coffee grounds do not go anywhere except where they are (in the filter basket). Amazing. I personally think Merlitta is skimping on the quality of the paper filters. The Merlitta paper filters used to be heavier paper and would keep their shape—now they are flimsy and cheap and get waterlogged and limp immediately. It’s not the coffee maker’s fault. The coffee is good and hot. Not McDonald’s hot, but close enough. After brewing, I keep mine warm for an hour longer. It comes with a water filter in the water tank. I just bought two dozen more from Amazon at a great price. I am very impressed with the quality of this coffee maker and highly recommend it. I had a more expensive Krups that paled in comparison to this Waring.

Full disclosure, I bought this sight unseen during the deal of the day, which was an insanely good deal. When I got it I was initially disappointed by the clunky clock setup, the lack of a side viewable water level and most of all the #2 conical filters. I hate them, or past tense, hated them. They are irritating to get set properly... and that’s enough of a reason I guess, especially when you’re in a hurry in the morning. Nothing is more disappointing than getting coffee flavored water when one part of the filter gets pushed to the side because you couldn’t get it set right. But whatever, I decided to keep it. Got some nicer brown filters and did my usual routine, 1 rounded scoop for 2 cups of water. Holy COW did that brew blow my lid off. Without a doubt the blackest coffee ever. So I dialed it back on the next round, and now have perfect coffee every time. I’m guessing the conical design allows the grounds to steep longer. Aside from all that it’s a perfectly functional coffee maker. Came with a scooper, which made my day. Carafe is huge and well made, though the mechanism for removing the top of it (or lack thereof) is lame. It doesn’t have a hinge, so you have to take the entire lid off which is a little annoying. Also in theme with the top of things, there is no separate opening for the water reservoir, and as I said no side viewable level, so you get to stand over it and stare down the well sorta speak, which looks and feels incredibly stupid while doing it. It’s a great machine overall, but those little overlooked design issues are fairly annoying. There are probably better ones at the MSRP (I miss my Mr Coffee to this day), but at the sale price it was unbeatable.

Having worked in a few cafes in the past, my wife can be a bit of a coffee "snob." She insisted upon having the temperature control option on any coffeemaker she chose, and it (of course) also had to be time programmable. The carafe is plenty big enough to handle the whole family or small groups, and she's extremely pleased with the quality and consistency. The gold filter is a great addition, provided your grounds aren't so fine that they slip through. This Waring brand is essentially the same as Cuisinart, and if you keep an eye on the daily deals, you might snag one for a steal. Great purchase.

My only complaint is that water pools in the top and when you open it abs then close it water gets everywhere. Other than that I love it
