 "LOVED it, ruined it and am buying another...sigh..." 2010-02-16
By Java Mama (Southern California)
I owned the 6-cup Moka for quite some time and absolutely loved it. I only hand rinsed it with water and stored it dry and disassembled. Even with all of this attention and care I managed to ruin it, but I'm back buying another and will be more careful this time.



While using the Moka on my stovetop I either answered the phone, tended to one of the kids' needs (or both?) and allowed it to boil over. Not just a little. A LOT. I'm talking huge mess, burned gasket and a horrible smell. Even after replacing the gasket the pot smelled like burned rubber. The resulting coffee tasted about as bad as the smell. I tried rinsing all of the metal parts with white vinegar. It didn't help at all. I tried letting it soak in vinegar water but the smell remained. I finally gave up and am buying another.



This time I'm getting a 3-cup Moka simply because I never needed the 6-cup capacity. I can't wait for it to arrive. I hope any future emergencies will wait until after Mom has had her coffee.

 "The perfect gift!" 2010-02-14
By C. Teter (USA)
I gave the Moka Express coffee maker to my daughter for Christmas. She loves it. It is easy to use and performs just like it said it would. The coffee turns out perfect everytime.

 "Outstanding Product!" 2010-02-01
By T. L. Allen (Albuquerque, NM)
The Bialetti Moka Express is simply an outstanding product that produces very strong coffee every time. Why spend $100s or $1000s for a machine when you can get the same very strong coffee for so much less!

 "Makes good coffee, but Brikka is best" 2010-01-31
By J. Albin (NJ)
There is no denying that this pot makes some darn good coffee. I like it better than most drip and french press. However having tried the Brikka prior to this, it is the winner hands down. I was under the impression that the Moka Express would taste the same as Brikka just with less crema. I was wrong, the Brikka simply produces a better brew. I'm convinced it has something to do with the patented valve system, exclusive to the Brikka, which pressurizes the brew as it bubbles up into the main chamber.

 "Wonderful . . . when it works." 2010-03-01
By jill usa (Pennsylvania)
I received the B70 as a Christmas gift and was thrilled. It took a while to find a coffee strong enough for my taste, but once I tasted Emeril's Big Easy Bold, I was hooked. Unfortunately, within one month my machine malfunctioned like so many others. It would make a loud noise like it was trying to work and then shut off. I called customer service and they sent a new machine. It worked for less than a week! I called again and they sent a second replacement. I was told that the problem had been resolved and I should have no more problems. Unfortunately, though, I have had this third brewer for just over a week and it is already shutting down automatically. I am so disappointed. I like it enough that I don't want to give up on it . . . but, really, enough is enough.

 "Do not buy this Keurig!" 2010-03-01
By David Bango (Royal Oak, MI)
I purchased my first Keurig B70 Brewing System at Costco around January 1st of 2010. Initially, I loved the machine. The coffee was good, it is very convenient and I love the selection of K-Cups that are available. One month later, the unit started acting up. I would make one cup, and then the Keurig would try to pump water from the reservoir and then fail. This caused the machine to shut off. Restarting the machine typically works and would allow me to brew another cup, but this was obviously unacceptable. I then returned the Keurig B70 to Costco and got another one of the same model. Now approximately one month later the new machine is doing the same thing: the Keurig tries to pump more water from the reservoir and fails. This is a poorly designed product and I can only assume that a very large percentage of this model are defective. I will be returning this one to Costco as well and will not buy another one unless they are carrying a different model. It looks like Keurig may be discontinuing this model, hopefully they have identified the defect in the design. Avoid the Keurig B-70 at all costs, unless you want to waste $140 and be very frustrated.

 "KEURIG ROCKS!!" 2010-02-28
By Pamajama
We had the Tassimo for 4 years and it sucked!! It leadked all over the counter and didn't work all the time. We have had the Keurig for 2 months now and we couldn't be happier...enough said!! You will not be disappointed.

 "DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY !" 2010-02-27
By D. Wisbey (Bristow, VA)
Please folks, don't waste your money. If you want a trendy cup of Joe, take $170 in singles and use it to make a fire to boil the water. Results will be the same. I've had two of these Platinum Home Brewers - still not happy. The first one (a Christmas gift) worked for about a month before it stopped pulling water from the tank and then shutting off. After weeks of "telephone diagnostics" with Keurig Customer Service...which is only available from 9-5 by the way, so you have to take off work and be at the coffee machine...we grew angry enough and cussed so much that they mailed us a replacement / exchanged the brewer. Guess what, this new one is exhibiting the same behavior now. Brewing only one cup of coffee must be a feature I didn't see in the fine print. I give up. What a waste of money on my part. Looking at this shiny blue and silver ornament on my countertop makes me angry every time I look at it.



One might infer that it's user error, but we've tried tap water, filtered water, bottled water...water water. I have also done everything the customer service department recommended. Frustrating as Hell trying to get a simple cup of coffee before you go to work in the morning and watching the stupid thing shut off right in front of you.



We've reverted back to a simple, Mr. Coffee machine. Old school, but it works just fine.



I couldn't be more dissatisfied with this product. Before you buy, check out Keurig's website...look for the "customer service" or "feedback" section to try and reach them electronically. Guess what - it doesn't exist. Coincidence? Only way to get in contact with them is by braving the 1-800 phone tree...Good luck with that. Have 3-fingers of something soothing before you dial in...

 "mr. coffee thermal coffee pot" 2010-02-13
By Barbara T. Brock
Having bought several times Mr. Coffee products, this time it was most disappointing. Coffee never came down hot unless we did the whole 8 cups and even then was not hot coffee. Called the manufacturer and was told the best thing to do was to fill the thermal with boiling water BEFORE we made coffee each time ! How rediculous to have to cope with making coffee like that. Fortunately I was able to return it as it was not satisfactory at all. I rate this product at a zero. What ever happen to Mr. Coffee's designers????

 "I love this coffee pot" 2009-12-30
By Susan C. Hunnicutt (San Antonio, Texas)
I bought this coffee pot about six months ago after my first thermal pot developed an electrical problem. I searched for thermal coffee pots all over town and the internet before choosing this pot. I chose it because of the price, and the design.

I do freelance editing work, and often drink coffee while I am working very early in the day. The thermos is wonderful because after brewing, the coffee maker shuts off. There is no heating element, so the coffee stays hot for several hours without boiling/ evaporating away. I can make a pot, and have fresh, hot coffee for several hours.

I seldom use the programmable features, and I don't really need a clock on my coffee maker. I would probably buy a pot with fewer bells and whistles if I could find the thermos I liked. But for the price, this is a great choice.

 "Makes weak coffee" 2009-12-23
By Carina Macdonald (Michigan)
I bought a replacement for this after about a month of use because the coffee is disappointingly weak and lacking in flavor - the water doesn't seem hot enough. I got tired of using twice the normal amount of coffee to get my two cups of joe in the morning - and no matter what, it made good Sumatra taste like Folger. Quite disappointed; I've had good luck with other non-thermal carafe Mr Coffee machines in the past (and in fact, that's what I just replaced this one with.)



Also the lid is a bit of a pain to get used to - what's wrong with traditional screw-on lids? Those work very well. And finally, the spout is poorly designed and it's really hard not to drip coffee all over the counter when pouring.



I could have lived with the last two flaws, but couldn't take the weak, nasty-tasting coffee. I would not recommend this if taste is a priority. It did keep the coffee reasonably hot for an hour or so, but you have to "pre-warm" the pot with hot water to keep it hot for longer.

 "Great still works wonderful after almost 5 years" 2009-12-21
By E. Sack
We are actually getting ready to upgrade to a nicer 12-cup maker so I was on amazon checking out reviews and thought I would share how great this machine has been for us. I have had it almost 5 years now and it still works wonderfully. It is easy to use and the carafe keeps coffee hot for about 3 hours. We are heavy coffee drinkers and it has held up great for us. I am going to pass this on to my brother when we gets our new one cause it still works great.

 "Small even for use at home" 2010-02-15
By Janis V. (Latvia)
PROS: Good for those who need save space. It can even be stored under the group head. The small size makes it easy to empty and clean. A good knock bar - no dents on my filter baskets so far. Good looking, nice design. Not expensive.



CONS: Somewhat to small. I would say, for home use only. Fills up quickly. Parts of the pucks occasionally fall over the edge. Requires a careful and precise knock. In this respect rectangular design might be better.

 "perfect" 2009-12-26
By Phesant Farm
Solid construction, good size as fits perfectly under the group-head of my espresso maker (Gaggia Carezza), and is dishwasher safe. After a pricey plumber bill (apparently the garbage disposal doesn't like daily coffee grinds)I finally purchased this and can collect the used pucks for my indoor and outdoor plants, compost and otherwise dispose of them in happy, good ways. At first it seemed like it might be too small for a standard size portafilter. Not so. From first use, total joy.

 "WORTH HAVING" 2009-11-04
By Michael Levy (Taos, NM)
The Dreamfarm knock block is simple. works well and is quite attractive. A well engineered design.

 "does the job well" 2009-02-19
By hardwired (NC)
It's just what we needed. After a major bill to a plumber who told us that coffee grounds collect like sand and clog pipes, we decided that $30 for a knock box was money well invested.



As many have said, the box is too small for commercial use but it's perfect for home and it even fits under the pour spout on the espresso machine for storage. The rubber feet and squat design hold it steady on the counter. The bar is wide, sturdy and rubber coated so it's not likely to dent your filter unit. And the low cut front edge insures that you don't accidentally hit the handle or your finger on the edge.



I think $30 is too high of a mark-up, but nothing cheaper looked nearly as functional. If ours was stolen by a coffe loving burglar (I don't expect it will break) I would buy another immediately.

 "Very impressed with the quality" 2008-11-06
By candy o
I have to admit that I was very surprised at how small this little guy was, but the quality definitely makes up for that. It's great for at least a days worth of puck (depending on how many shots you brew of coarse). TO get an idea of how small it is, it was designed to fit under the portafilter for storage on home espresso machines.

I would definitely buy this box again. It's a perfect addition to my coffee bar.

 "mypressi" 2010-02-13
By K. Alogogiannis (Neuchatel, Switzerland)
Performs as advertised. Water temperature and grind sensitive. Descent crema. For European purchasers beware of the recharge cartriges. Not all brands work due to length differences and cap ends. I found the ISI brand name (made in Austria) works well. A bit of cotton wool at the end of the screw part of the handle compensates well for the few milimeters difference. If not the gaz will eventually leak out and after a couple of hours there will be no pressure.

 "cumbersome/waste of time" 2010-02-06
By Karin B. Eynon (Detroit, MI USA)
Gave to husband for a Christmas gift because he loves espresso and travels a lot.

Item is very big and heavy and cumbersome to travel with or use anywhere. He said

you get approx. one shot of gas per use and by the time the water gets heated and

into the cup it's no longer hot - and very hot is desired for a cup of espresso.

Needless to say it was a rather expensive flop and is no longer being used.

 "Great espresso - couple of improvement suggestions" 2010-01-22
By errdisable
Once I realized that the small o-ring fell out (wasted 3 cartridges trying to figure out what was wrong) I was able to pull some very nice shots from this machine. It is a very clever design and from what I can tell the cheapest, easiest way to make true espresso.

I soak the unit in boiling water while I am grinding and dosing and I have no temperature issues (that I can taste in the shot anyway). It would be nice to make the o-ring a little more secure and it would also be nice to have some kind of way to tell how much pressure is left in a cartridge. Those are the only drawbacks I have experienced with the mypressi.

 "Very impressed by mypressi" 2010-01-04
By Sibir
I have only made 5 shots so far, but they all come out very nice. I use Lavazza "il perfetto espresso" from [...], which (in quantity) costs about 1/3 of what I used to pay for the illy at WholeFoods.



In reply to Francesco Fato: I think there is no point in preheating the lower hemisphere because the plastic has a low heat capacity and never holds the brew. But you may as well go naked and remove it as suggested by "Reflex". Today I used the pressurized cup without the lower hemisphere and had it squirt directly into the pre-heated milk. That created a great froth for my latte.



I wonder when people will stop using their big and noisy machines in favor of the mypressi.



The cartridges cost between $0.50 and $1 a piece depending on quantity etc.

 "Favorite Christmas Gift this year! :)" 2009-12-30
By P. R. Sklenar (Southern New England, USA)
I received my Twist as a Christmas gift.



While the instructions indicate that I can expect four Double-shots or eight Single-shots per N2O charger, I've used two of them so far and got 5 (five) Doubles out of both using the standard double-shot basket, 16g of beans ground at "10" on a Rancillo Rocky grinder (for reference, I grind for drip at "21" and vac pot at "30").



After the first two attempts (too fine a grind and/or too firm a tamp leading to 60+ and 45 second pulls respectively), I seem to be getting between 20 & 25 second pulls ending with *tons* of crema & a very smooth taste (using Sweet Maria's "Espresso Monkey Blend", roasted the morning of 12/26). No bitterness at all.



Very easy clean up, doesn't tie up a bunch of counter space. I'm one happy espresso drinker. :)

 "it's plastic not metal" 2009-06-28

I was under the impression this was a metal knockbox, but it isn't. It looks like it is, and the description doesn't tell you what it's made of, so I concluded wrongly that it was metal. That said, it serves its purpose.

This knockbox is robust and ultra stylish. I bought it as a gift and the recipient loved it. However, 4 latte's later and the box was full so we were a little disappointed with the size - about 10cm in diameter. Check the dimensions if this is adequate for your needs.
