Author's Review

hello everyone. i just purchased this machine because i have read reviews and it looked fairly good on for my counter space. I have read a lot of complaints from users and they all seem to be the same. They say the machine does not work out of the box but i believe that a lot of this is OPERATOR ERROR.

The coffee maker comes with a users manual that clearly states on the first page. You Must Set The Clock For The Machine To Operator Properly. When people say that the electronics went So Called "Crazy" its because the clock is not set. The clock can be set in Zulu time a.k.a military time or local time. The book clearly describes this. If the coffee maker is unplugged you must reset the clock for the machine to operate properly. But as long as its plugged in and you have electricity the machine works like a champion.

As far as the coffee maker overflowing with water when the carife is not in place; this is not an issue. With many coffee makers, the carife or glass catch pot needs to be in place for the coffee to drip into the glass. There is a little release spring that needs to be opened automatically when the glass pot is in place.

Besides if ur making coffee the glass pot should be there. Shouldn't it?

No but seriously the coffee maker is really great. The expresso portion makes 2 shots of expresso at a time. Just like SBUX with their more expensive machines. You can also adjust the strength of the expresso. Some like the expresso a little stronger but i like mines light and sweet. This machine can accomodate both. It is also programmable. It can be programmed to make cups of hot water for tea of hot chocolate, programmed for strength of expresso, the number of expresso shots and morning wake up coffee.

The directions are straight forward, and the buttons are easy to operate however it is in my opinion that if you have difficulty with electronics like VCR's or i guess now it would be DVD players this may be a little difficult to operate and i would suggest a more simplified machine. As i have stated before the book is clear in its instructions but if u like to just take something out of the box and not read the book. this machine is probably not for you. But just remember your missing out on a great machine. If you are getting this for an older person, My advice for combating this problem is to have a grandchild or younger person set your machine up and let them program the functions. I believe this machine is that good. Hope this helps.
