Summary: 4 Stars
Seattle Slim actually does a great job of telling it like it is.....but let me add a few tidbits and tell you why this coffee maker makes the best cup of coffee I've ever had at home.
My wife and I love a good cup of coffee. Strong but not bitter with rich, full bodied bursts of flavor.
I purchased this coffeemaker...and then took it back because I was frustrated with all the issues (cons) mentioned. I couldn't pour it without spilling; I couldn't get all the coffee out of the pot without (literally) turning it upside down; I couldn't see the small water container opening as it was dark brown and I didn't want to turn on the overheads in the kitchens every time just for that...and finally, the top to the carafe was sometimes very hard to open.
But, weirdly, once we figured out that the grind was too fine, the flavor came alive and I was sad to return the machine. I figured that I could get as good a machine from Cuisinart or some other manufacturer.
I was wrong. I purchased and return 5 machines in the 80-$200 range and NONE of them produced as fine a cup of coffee as this one. So after 3 weeks I went back and purchased it again -- this time knowing what I would have to deal with in order to get a cup of coffee we LOVED -- and still do 3 years later!
After several years of ownership I can actually tell you why it works so much better than other units...but first i want to answer the comment about the overflow.
Two words = operator error/inexperience. Please understand -- I have had to clean up from the unit overflowing several times -- and each time it was because I or someone else took a shortcut and got coffee grinds in the filter holder and plugged it up OR I over filled the reservoir beyond 12 cups water OR made the coffee with a finer grind than needed (thinking it would be 'better').
So now the WHY it makes better brew....
It has a much wider water spritzer. Nearly 2 inches. The coffee grinds rarely have a hole down the middle. The water spreads across the whole top...or at least much of it. It allows the coffee to 'bloom' just the way it is recommended when you do it by hand. and then the rest of the water just pulls the great (and not bitter) flavor into the pot.
Frustrating at first...yes....but worth it in the long run.
