This coffee pot makes a great first cup of coffee. Follow directions to dampen the filter first. It is awkward to pour water in to the reservoir.but it's worth the hassel. (there doesn't seem to be an auto turn-off.).
This thing just makes the best coffee of any brewer I've owned. I've had my Moka-Brew for over a year, now.OK, for a manual brewer it's expensive, and its hard to find the disc filters. It doesn't take up much counter space, and people love to watch it brew. I just cut basket filters to fit. If you pack down the grounds before you brew, you don't have the grounds blowing up over the filter and into your coffee.I'm picky about my coffee. If you buy it to make the best possible cup of coffee, you'll be happy with it. I am.
We had a Braun cofeemaker that was about 15 years old. After looking at the options and reviews, we decided on this Krups. The glass pot got cracked and, rather than buy a new pot for an old machine, I searched for new options. My wife and I both LOVE our coffee, so I wanted a decent machine. So far, we have been very pleased with the result. It does not have the interupt feature where you can sneak a cup before it is completely done, but that has not been too big a problem.
The filters are easy to create from standard ones and should not be a deterrent to anyone. This is simply the best coffee maker I have ever used. The coffee tastes terrific and produces a wonderful brew (and crema) too. I will purchase this again and again and recommend highly to all coffee lovers. A great buy.
Take care to use decent coffee - kaka in, kaka out - if you know what I mean.Buy a burr-type grinder and set for "Fine", too fine and you get some bitter.No matter what, though, this device makes coffee with more body than any other home brewing method, with the exception of the good-ole French Press. But the French Press coffee get too cold brewing for 6 minutes, and you cannot load a French Press at night for the morning. Enjoy.
