Update: The machine died seven months inA few days ago when I had company for the holidays, my machine completely kicked it. Light would come on, but no water would brew and no heat came on the hot plate. Normally this wouldn’t be a big deal and I would order a new one, but it was the day after Christmas and I had guests, so I had to run out to the grocery store and buy a $20 Toastmaster to bring back home.I’m a little disappointed in durability. I am absolutely aware that I am rough coffee customer, making at least 4 full twelve-or-sixteen ounce mugs a day and more when I have company, and I also left the hot plate on every day for a few hours between mugs. Still, this machine didn’t even last as long as my first Keurig, and that thing died quick.I put this machine through it’s paces, and was never disappointed by its quality or its performance. It made its last cup as good as its first, never developed off-tastes or anything. Its built-in coffee basket was good, and when used with paper filters I find it made a very fine cup of coffee. I am, however, admittedly still disappointed that it went so soon.Would I buy it again? Well, I had to buy the Toastmaster that day because Amazon was going to take a while and I needed it that day. Mueller’s cup was admittedly superior to that one’s, and it held more coffee, but the Toastmaster performs fine enough so I’ll keep it until it dies. Will I return? Maybe. I did like it a lot. I think I’m only disappointed because I was so enthusiastic about its performance only to find it didn’t last very long.Original ReviewI don’t really grow a loyal following towards brands. I like both Coke and Pepsi, I think both McDonalds and Burger King make fine burgers, etc. So I found myself very surprised when I kept coming back to Mueller for my coffee products. I first bought their Nespresso Machine (Which I don’t think is available anymore 🙁 Mueller, please bring this one back!), then got their electric kettle, the k-cup machine (Which honestly was my least favorite of the bunch; it was fine, but it heated up really slowly and you couldn’t make multiple cups for friends), both of their grinders, and now the drip machine. I am most certainly not a blind fangirl, but I can tell you that Mueller has consistently done wonderfully in the coffee world, and certainly punches above its price-tag.Some background. I’ve been making learning and making coffee for eight years. I own tons of coffee makers, I have a legit espresso machine and a high-quality grinder, I know all about grades of specialty coffee and how to make them, etc. But I have been diagnosed with a serious disability, and that made the whole extensive process of pulling in that perfect cup of coffee was draining way too much of my daily energy for results that ultimately weren’t worth it.I stopped drinking coffee because of this, but I really wanted my daily cup. So for less than $30, I picked this one up from a company I knew I liked. I have tried this machine with everything, from french roasts to specialty coffee, old pre-ground or freshly roasted and ground, it comes with a permanent filter but accepts 8-12 cup paper filters as well (A wonderful blessing with my area’s drought when rinsing your permanent filter can suck), and it never complains except the one time I packed the grounds far too tight in it, which just needed a quick loosening halfway through. Everything I’ve made has come out tasty and just the right temperature.For you fancy coffee aficionados out there like me, this is a $30 machine so there is no programming. You can’t set it to make your coffee at a certain time, you can’t program in a bloom phase, you can’t dial in your coffee-to-water ratio. But sometimes when you’re sick and tired, something you can pour some water and grounds into, go take a shower and have your day’s worth of coffee ready when you get back… it’s just a blessing. The heating element will keep any amount warm, although you might want to be careful not to leave it on too long if you have under a cup left since that might cook it instead of warm it.(Incidentally, if you want a bloom, I found letting a few drops come through the cycle then taking away the carafe and returning it 30 seconds later did the trick. I also noticed that the water is extremely well-dispersed; when you look at it, it’s a round puck of coffee, there isn’t a giant hole that pressure pushed through the middle. This makes better coffee, and it will bloom beautifully)And when I say it’s simple, I mean it. On days when I don’t feel good, I can roughly pour some grounds straight out of the bag into a filter, use the carafe as my measuring cup to add water, turn it on and a few minutes later some genuinely tasty coffee is ready. It never complains if I haven’t cleaned the carafe properly, if I accidentally add too much or too little, if I’m using staler grounds, it always comes out yummy.If you’re a coffee lover who is wondering if the complex process for your black gold is truly worth it on those early mornings, I have to tell you, it’s been awesome. There will always be a place for your Olympia Cremina or your thermal Breville, but for undeniably cheap, easy, quick, genuinely tasty coffee, I don’t know if you’ll be able to beat this one.My one complaint is that I do worry slightly about mold if you don’t take care of your machine. I’ve never had this in the one or two previous drip machines I’ve had, but after you make coffee and open your machine, there is a lot of water leftover in the machine, especially in condensation underneath the lid. I don’t know if this is common in drip machines, but it does worry me slightly. Still, if you keep the lid popped a little overnight, this seems to cure it. Take care of your machines!Bonus tip: If you own the Mueller burr grinder like I do, the cup that the grounds wind up in is actually a wonderful tamp for this machine, where you can compact the grounds a little. I don’t actually know if this does anything on this sort of machine (It’s important in espresso), but it makes me feel better and helps get the puck of coffee out at the end if you’re using the permanent filter. I don’t know if other grinders could be used, but you could also use a glass to do this if you wanted. Just don’t tamp too hard, yesterday I kinda smashed it in there on accident and the water didn’t want to flow; removing the carafe and loosening the grounds fixed this.Update: My machine still works great six months later! Like I noted before, it’s a very unfussy machine that makes great coffee in a lot of styles really easily. It’s easily the best drip-maker I’ve ever used.I have some general notes that I’ve learned over the months:You probably want to either use paper filters or have like a french press ready when you use this. Paper filters will block coffee oils, which can be good or bad depending on your tastes and what you want that day, but this machine’s permanent filter lets even decently-sized grounds through and into my pot. If you really want a more bodied coffee, definitely be ready to strain it into another filter sometimes. Even if they don’t get into your cup, letting grounds through into the pot and then leaving it on the heater for a few hours will ruin the rest of the pot.This machine tends to like medium-to-heavier coffees and make the best results there. If you can find beans that are nuttier, chocolatier or even a little spicier, this machine will do really well. Something more delicate like a specialty light roast or something silkier or that has wine notes is alright, but not optimal.This machine doesn’t appear to have boil protection, so definitely never leave it on overnight or if you have to go to work. I left mine on one evening when I fell asleep and when I woke up eight-ish hours later, the four cups had turned into a one cup and the whole thing was steamy and angry.Overall, I love this machine and give it an enthusiastic five stars. Mueller is a rare company that has won me over, someone who never falls for marketing. Definitely a good company and product.

Ordered this unit as a Christmas gift. Used 1st on December 26th, 2022. Unit failed February 4th, 2023. Green «heat light» was on but the coffee was barely warm. Unplugged. Tried making a fresh pot. Would not brew nor heat up. Beware.This issue was satisfactorily corrected within 48 hours. Many thanks! Looking forward to receiving my new unit,

My old one died. We had it for 12 years and I bought it from a garage sale so who knows how ole it was before that? This one is new. It is clean, easy to use, has every feature I could want, and cost very little. It is not a piece of junk just because it is not 80 or 100 or 300 dollars. True, it won’t start itself and let me arise to a cup of coffee, but it makes a cup fast. I only used it once. I timed it: I opened a bag of coffee, measured out enough to make 6 cups, closed the bag tightly, put the cup in place, put the filter that comes with the coffee maker (saving me needing to buy filters), put the filter into the machine, filled the carafe with 6 cups of tap water, poured it into the pot and turned it on. The coffee was ready to drink (hot and smelling great) in a total of 8 minutes. That was just enough time to prepare some toast and an egg! I shared the coffee with my mom and we both LOVED it! A drip machine in our opinion makes the best coffee. We don’t like percolators or pods. Both tend to in our opinions to result in a more acidic tasting coffee. I am so glad I found this machine. We will enjoy it for years to come!We consider coffee is a treat. We limit our drinking to once a week to keep it special. We like to taste it a bit like a wine connoisseur and to experiment with different countries of origin and different mixtures. We also like to have different items with it and to observe the way some things such as a bit of cake, fresh bread, etc. go with it. So, having a good consistent clean hot simple maker allows us to have fun with it!

This is my second purchase. Although the price increased slightly over the year (I think I purchased my first one with a discount), this is the highest value for money product, I purchased the second one for my mom, she loved it so much so I decided to surprise her with it. This is not a fancy coffee maker — but this is what I like most about it. It’s very easy to use, it doesn’t shut down and always keeps your coffee hot not lukewarm. Top quality and no useless extra features.

Hello coffee lovers! ? I have a coffee maker from a famous brand. It’s a single cup maker that I guess a lot of us have. I needed something for more coffee to hold and to keep it warm longer, so I can enjoy my coffee for longer on weekend mornings.Please don’t let bad reviews discourage you from buying this beautiful coffee maker.Everyone should ask themselves why would they need this coffee maker, then to look at the photos and read descriptions before purchasing, regardless of reviews. Please guys don’t leave meaningless reviews like -it stopped working after x time. Let’s discuss how was it while it was working. You have a full year guarantee and I bet if you would to reach out to seller or Amazon they’d help you out. Especially, don’t leave any reviews if you’re cranky or in a bad mood. I go for a walk or to the gym when I feel like that.I love this coffee maker because it’s simple. It has permanent filter so no throwing money away on paper filters. It has leveled numbers both on carafe and the water reservoir. Numbers are really accurate in regards to number of cups.You put less water or more coffee depending on how strong coffee you like and how many cups you would like to make.Water runs fast enough to make really great coffee.Once it’s brewed it stays hot as long as it’s turned on.It’s very easy to clean it.Follow instructions what to do before first use. Like run just water through several times.Anyway, drink your coffee shortly after brewing just so you can enjoy the real coffee taste unless you put tons of cream and sugar, in that case it really doesn’t matter, however it’s still going to be nice and warm. Enjoy! ?

This was a gift to a very close friend and they loved it. They have been using it for a couple of months now. It keeps the coffee warm enough which is what they love the most.

So, a few years ago I bought a Gourmia Coffee maker on Amazon, I had never heard of the brand and thought it was just one of those random chinese companies that has flooded Amazon. Found out later they are an actual «brand».Well that coffee maker looked great and had a small footprint, which was great because I didnt have much counterspace at the time.Well that Gourmia Coffee maker was TERRIBLE. Coffee came out luke warm at best. The water reservoir opening was about 2 inches so you were going to spill water EVERYWHERE. And the heating base rusted out within a few months.This Mueller, coffee comes out hot enough, not crazy hot like I like it but good enough. The water reservoir opening is HUGE, can’t spill water if you tried. Brews fast and everything is easy to clean!

I’ve got other Mueller brand products that I was happy with, so I wasn’t too worried going into this purchase. Years ago I walked away from drip machines and have been using a French press or single serve pods. In an office environment though, French press can be a pain to clean and single serve pods are nice when you find one that delivers on flavor, but the price isnt great and neither is the waste. I have a few cups a day.This is makes a nice pot of coffee pretty quick and the filter is super easy to clean. I’ve used the permanent filter alone and have also used paper filters. Both are fine, the paper might save you a minute and perhaps prolong the life of the permanent one but it’s not that big a deal. I’m happy with it.
