If you don‘t care about proper extraction, taste and hot coffee, then this is the one for you.
Positive Product Points
Good reviews.
Negative Product Points
Reviews were wrong. It does not make hot coffee. It seems very cheaply made, but would not really matter if it made good hot coffee. It has a 3 year warranty anyway.
Detailed Commentary
This was the new 10 cup Pour O Matic. GR10 model.
My number one priority was HOT coffee. This machine is fast, but so what if the coffee sucks because the water temp doesn‘t go over 170 degrees? It is advertised at 200 degrees. I even checked the water temp right at the brew head and it was 170 even before going through the coffee. Once the water goes through through the filter it looses another 10 degrees. 160 degree coffee does not make the grade. Don‘t believe the hype! At least make sure that you can return it. (I did.) The Starbucks Barista Aroma with SS Carafe is better, but not by much. (another 10 degrees) The search continues...
