We bought the small coffee maker for taking with us in our travels - replacing existing coffee maker with glass caraf. The smaller pot is great for motel "dining" and the stainless caraf takes the worry out of possible breakage. The unit also makes the BEST coffee! Even with side-by-side comparisons with other coffee makers, using the same brand coffe, the Barista makes a richer/fuller tasting coffee. Have been seriously thinking about retiring our Capresso coffee maker we use in the house and bringing in the 4-cup Barista (but we're avid coffee drinkers and 4-cups just isn't enough around the house) In the future may purchase the larger 12-cup for the house.
I have owned this coffee maker for 10 years and wanted a second one because i have a summer place. I LOVE it - makes just the right amount of coffee for me and the coffee tastes great. Super easy to fill and keep clean. I love that it turns off when brewed but the coffee stays hot in the thermos. My only complaint - why was it so hard to find?
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-owned
Instructions say to use with cold drinks. I assume hot drinks will damage the color changing effects. Otherwise works just how I thought! Very happy!

I love this little machine! It makes Starbucks Quality Coffee at home, in a quantity that is just right for me! I don't use the gold reusable filter, to me, it makes a harsh tasting cup. In my opinion, unbleached paper filters do a much better job. The coffee is rich, and never bitter. One word of caution however, if you don't have the carafe positioned correctly, so that the lever in the back of the machine is depressed, the hot coffee will not drip into the carafe, instead, it will leak all over your counter! Once you learn about this though, you'll never have any problems!
I really don't like anything about this product. It did not come with any instructions, and I have not been able to make coffee with this machine. When I put the coffee and water in the machine, the coffee and water spilled out of the top and made a huge mess, when I turned machine on. I have wasted expensive coffee and tried to use the machine about 3 times. Each time coffee and water exploded from the unit, to my utter dissatisfaction. I contacted Starbucks and they do not sell this model anymore because there were major flaws in its design. I decided to buy it because I own a Starbucks Espresso machine that works very well and I needed a small coffee maker for a small kitchen space.
