Negative Product Points
None, except that it's no longer available
Detailed Commentary
A remarkably good thermal coffee maker for a reasonable price. I only wish that this was still available. I would buy it for ANY voltage and work around it. Water temperature is about 205F while brewing. It is used for two 4-cup batches each morning, and has done this for well over 10 years. A 150F hotplate warms the exterior of the thermal pot for longer coffee life. I keep looking on eBay, and hoping for a miracle. And why? Because if this one ever breaks, I don't know of another make or model that's as good.
