From the roaster

Note: 1)Too coarse a grind, too little coffee, or insufficiently tamping the grounds before brewing can all lead to inadequate pressure for a proper brew. 2)It is important to note that the amount of espresso extracted will vary depending on the grind size and amount and reprogramming may be needed when the size and amount are adjusted

I wish I knew about this wonderful coffee maker before I did

I wish I knew about this wonderful coffee maker before I did. I don't know how I survived without it! It makes the best coffee I have ever had. I no longer get coffee from the local or chain coffee shops, and have saved a lot of money.

Best coffee I've ever had! Worth every penny!

Wow. What to say about this? If you like good coffee, and if you are looking for something that will pull out all sorts of subtle flavors the way good pour over does, and you have the money to spend on this, it's well worth it! I've been making pour over for over a year, and this blows those results out of the water.

So easy and good!

I should start off by saying, we are not coffee snobs but really enjoy coffee. I cannot tell you anything about bean roasting, or grinding, or notes of some exotic fruit. I just like coffee, preferably with a little cream.

Good coffee, bad mechanical construction

Coffee quality is great without a doubt. But the construction has 4 mind boggling deficiencies1. The thing where you put coffee in doesn't sit stably on a kitchen counter - does not have a flat base.2.
