About Holstein Housewares - 5-Cup Compact Coffee Maker
Overall Feedback:
73% positive
76% appreciated the user-friendly design, yet 24% found it complicated
I bought the yellow one because it has a nice and bright color, works well, and has a better all-around design.
The design of the coffee maker allows ground coffee to end up in the water tank or in tiny spaces around the coffee filter base.
The coffee machine is poorly designed. It cannot be opened under upper cabinets and must be pulled out. The pot drips when pouring and spills on the counter. The switch and water level indicator are at the back and difficult to see without turning it around.
The on/off switch on the side makes it difficult to reach.
82% appreciated the quiet operation, whereas 18% found it noisy
I have to be very careful when turning it on and off so that it does not tip over, which may indicate that it is noisy.
80% found it easy to clean, though 20% struggled
It is easy to clean, just rinse it out.
The coffee maker is difficult to clean in those crevices because it is small.
83% praised the sturdy construction, although 17% found it flimsy
The coffee maker looks cheap and the plastic used in its construction seems fragile.
I feel that the product has poor build quality as it feels like thin plastic and is flimsy.
79% liked the fast brewing speed
By the time I am back from walking my dog, the coffee maker is done brewing.
I found that the coffee machine brews faster than the Mr. Coffee and tastes okay with the paper filter now.
78% liked the high-quality brew, but 22% found it lacking
I found it difficult to brew under 6:30 and couldn't eliminate some strong, disagreeable notes. Switching to a cheap pour over worked better for me.
