Not bad, but not great
3/5
I've had this machine for nearly a year, and it has been ok. The timer function works, and if you're making a single cup then it's certainly not bad, and does make a nice cup of coffee.
However, the hot plate does not keep the coffee warm for any longer than 15 mins max, and it doesn't seem to like brewing a full, 10 cup pot. (It just stops somewhere between 6 and 8 even though there’s more water in, so you have to start it brewing again).
Obviously you get what you pay for: so if you just want something cheap to make a single cup, then it’s not bad; but if you're looking for a machine that you can brew a full pot in, and have a few cups out of, then this isn't a great option.
