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

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.

It's a great, durable machine. Being able to pause and enjoy your coffee, allows you to customize your and other people's coffee strength, which essentially means you can have a single cup as well without wasting coffee in a carafe. Having used other brand coffeemakers. I can firmly say that WaringPro coffeemaker is better than Mr Coffee and Cuisinart coffeemakers (depending on models, of course!) and considering price point and given features. This is my second Waring Pro item, I have and been using a Belgian double waffle maker from Waring Pro that makes amazing fluffy waffles and by no means I am a pro. On a side note, I usually use Citiz by Nespresso, 1 at home and another one at work for coffee, and occasionally, French press. But for drip coffeemaker, I found this one to be a good bargain and dependable coffeemaker.

I am not a coffee expert and my old Black & Decker maker was showing signs of wear and tear. I saw this on a deal of the day so I jumped on it. At first, I was concerned of the cone filters and water filter required, but I found some on Amazon for cheap and have grown to really like this coffee pot. The 14 cup capacity is helpful and adjustable auto turn off great too. Most turn off after 2 hours, I adjusted mine to 3 hours! If the clock were bigger and easier to read it would have 5 stars. Hard to read clock and first time I set timer, did not notice it was on PM, so had to waste a pot of coffee. I would never pay retail price for this, but for the deal of the day, it was a bargain!

I had replaced a failed expensive coffee with several inexpensive ones that just didn't last very long with various reasons of failure and saw this pot on sale at just the right time. It has the apparent quality of the expensive one and a lot better than the cheap ones. It's easy to program so my coffee is hot and ready when the alarm goes off every morning and very easy to clean and prepare the night before, much easier than the expensive grind and brew variations I've used for many years. It uses cone filters that seem to be less prone to coffee grounds overflowing into the pot. It can brew very small quantities and double heats pots less than 4 cups but can brew upto 14 cups for heavy drinkers! It's the best coffee maker I've purchased in years.

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.

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.

I only bought this coffee pot because my husband wanted to be able to grind beans and have something to brew with them. We only had a kuerig. It was on sale so I took the chance. And am I glad I did! This has got to be THE best coffee pot I have ever owned! It is flawless. I use the timer for morning coffee and it is always ready. I can set the timer to automatically turn off if I forget to. It is relatively quiet. I got the black stainless steel and it is a nice addition to my now "coffee counter" I would highly recommend this one!

Pretty simple coffee maker overall; hasn't given us any issues. Has a water filter with cartridge built in, which is a nice touch. The carafe is sturdy, but HATE the fact that the lid of it is not hinged, so it must be popped off and on. Seems trivial, but gets annoying quickly. Also the clock on the unit is not backlit, and impossible to see in all but bright light. Not a big deal, but something to note. I hope it lasts a long time, because it is attractive in our kitchen and overall has been working well for us.
