Amazon Basics Coffee Makers, 12-Cup Coffee Machines with Reusable Filter, Coffee Pots, Black & Stainless Steel

Okay, a five star basic coffee pot. Really? Yes. I recently retired and wanted just a regular coffee brewer aside from my Keurig. Pods get expensive when you are consuming several cups a day. This caught my eye for it's cost and good reviews. It is REALLY small, but makes a good cup of coffee. Better than the pods. I am no barista, but my coffee tastes good. It's a good little pot.

I decided to buy a new coffee maker and my old one quit working and as soon as it arrived, I started to use it. It works great and the design looks good. I highly recommend this coffee maker if you're budget conscious. It fits on the back table of my chair in my room and isn't in the way of anything. The brewing is relatively quiet and the drip was good.

Decent value for the money, but you can tell where they have cut corners to keep the price down. Note that the brewing basket is all plastic (on the left) compared to the metal mesh version from Mr. Coffee (on the right). If you're concerned about microplastics, the included plastic mesh basket could be an issue. Not only is it cheap, but the plastic mesh filter is as likely as the plastic mesh tea bags to shed microplastics into your coffee. I had just broken the glass pitcher on my Mr. Coffee, and it just happened to be a perfect fit for the new Amazon branded version.The electric cord is another obviously cheap part. The cable is stiff, which is a reflection of the braiding and size of the copper strands that make up the cord. The finer and thinner gauge the strands, the more supple the cable. The one on the Amazon coffee maker are very stiff, indicating that they've used a cheaper grade of cable.On the positive side, the coffee maker works fine. The brewing element shuts off after the water has been transferred to the brewing basket, so only the pot heater remains on. I also like that this coffee maker has a slim profile, so it takes up a minimum amount of valuable counter space.I'm happy with the purchase, but glad I had a different basket that would work. Now, we'll see how long it lasts.

For a coffeeaholic like myself, this is one sweet coffemaker! No complicated interface, no confusing operational interfaces, just a solidly built coffemaker ready to brew anytime you're ready!How simple that is: Fill the reservoir with your preffered amount of water, particularly filtered if you have it. Now fill the coffee filter with beans, (12 cups=6 Scoops), place it in the coffeemaker and push the blue button on the right sideand just kick back and wait...It's as easy as that! If you grind your beans as I do, the scoop provided is a little to small, you'll need something a wee tad bigger! Other than that, you're all in for some great coffee! ENJOY!

Product arrived on time in good order as a replacement for its predecessor, made under a different brand name but EXACTLY the same product. Basic coffeemaker, NO timer, none required, NO bells and whistles, none required. This coffeeemaker will be in daily use until it burns out and requires replacement by exactly the same item

It was impeccably packed. Just perfect for my sister an me. I love the fact that the filter is reusable wich it saves me money. This good size coffee maker for a house of 2 or 3 coffee drinkers will save you money in filters and coffee.

Bought this to replace an oster 12 cup. While it makes coffee, temp needs an increase. Also, it moves around too much. Needs more weight in the base and better soft feet to help with grip. I will be purchasing a different brand and put this in the pantry as a backup.

When first I opened the box I thought it was all a bit too fragile. However, after about 3 or 4 weeks of use I've begun to really like the coffee made from this little still and have not had any problems with it. I do remain careful with it but the coffee delivered from this little item has really been quite good. One does need to be careful emptying and cleaning the dry and/or wet little nylon netting device holding the dry coffee, I like my coffee fairly strong and it can reach this level easily.
