Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of West Bend 56860 10 Cup Coffeemaker with Thermal Carafe, Black
Customer Review: I Love This Coffeemaker - EDITTED
Summary: 5 Stars
I also planned to add the hint of taking the pot off the stand so the opening the coffee comes in thru would close keeping the coffee hotter longer but someone already beat me to it. Personally, I think expecting a pot of coffee to stay hot for more than a couple hours is expecting too much. It goes against the basic laws of physics. With the heat source removed, even expensive glass carafes that have been pre-heated will begin to lose heat immediately then more rapidly over time. I've never had ANY carafe keep coffee right out of the pot hot more than a couple hours. I mean it takes me less than 3 hours to leisurely drink a whole pot by myself with lots of time in between each cup. We all know that their 10 cups isn't really 10 cups. This pot makes 3 and about 1/2 to 3/4's cups in my tall cup. Probably 3 of the Friends or Starbucks style large round cups. How long does it take to drink 3 cups of coffee? I don't understand making a pot of coffee, leaving it sit all day and then expecting it to be hot when you come back to it 4, 5, 6 hours later! You want piping hot, fresh coffee that far in between each cup, just make smaller pots more often. Cuz this coffeemaker is about as good as it comes. Great tasting coffee in record time (mine barely takes a couple of minutes and even at that, 5 minutes isn't really all that slow! It used to take 15-20 minutes to brew coffee in the old days). And an easy pour, easy clean, no leak carafe that keeps the coffee hot enough long enough (my second cup is as good, as hot and as fresh as my first, and my third is only slightly less hot). If I had anything bad to say, I'd say it wasn't all that stylish but even that is growing on me because I Love This Coffeemaker! And the price is reasonable. I've read reviews on brewers costing twice this much that weren't half as good. I'm halfway tempted to buy another one so I'll have it when this one wears out which I sure hope ain't too soon.
3/11/07 - I am bummed! It died. Everything looks fine, all the lights come on as they are supposed to but it never turns on. I hesitate to buy another since it's been such a short time and I had the same problem with the first one they sent. I am soooo bummed. I really loved this coffemaker. It WAS the best one I've ever owned but it couldn't even make it a year. Sorry to have to back off on my stars.
