Pros
Sort
-
Carafe and cup handling were major strengths, especially the thermal carafe, clean pouring, leak improvements, heat retention, and direct-to-mug brewing.
-
Hot brewing earned consistently high marks for even extraction, smooth flavor, reliable defaults, and balanced cups, with small-batch speed sometimes requiring grind adjustments.
-
Overall experience was highly positive, with reviewers emphasizing ease, low effort, confidence, and enjoyable daily use despite a few quirks.
-
Beverage quality was strongly positive across hot drip and tasted cups, with reviewers describing the coffee as excellent, balanced, layered, and better than older machines.
-
Design and ergonomics were praised for a modern, polished look and clearer interface, balanced by comments that the machine is still fairly large.
-
Automation was praised for one-touch brewing, delayed start, sensing or simplifying brew choices, and reducing guesswork without removing all customization.
-
Setup and first use were generally described as simple, straightforward, and beginner friendly, with the main caveat that some users needed the manual or clearer instructions.
-
Evidence supports the main claims around real cold brew, speed without sacrificing quality, and carafe heat retention, although one first-look source was more cautious than hands-on reviews.
-
The water system and maintenance were frequently praised for a removable, easy-fill, easy-clean tank and simple cleaning, though leftover water and marking quirks were concerns.
-
Speed was one of the strongest themes, with several reviewers emphasizing very fast full-pot or single-cup brewing; a few noted flavor adjustments may be needed for small batches.
-
Cold brew evidence was mostly positive for real, clean, rounded cold brew, but some reviewers thought it was unnecessary, limited in volume, or not rewarding enough.
-
Reviewers liked the included extras when they judged them, especially the filter options, water filter, and dosing scoop, with accessories described as generous and useful for setup.
-
Filter flexibility was well liked, especially the cone and flat-bottom options, reusable mesh filter, and the ability to tune flavor, though water markings depend on the filter setup.
-
Build quality was mostly seen as premium and sturdy, though one owner disliked the remaining plastic and wanted a glass water tank.
-
SCA-related recognition was viewed positively as reassurance that the brewer can meet serious coffee standards.
-
Heating and temperature control were praised where discussed, with PID control and steady brew temperatures viewed as major reasons for consistent extraction.
-
Capacity is strong for full hot batches and the large tank, but cold brew capacity drew limitations because some reviewers noted smaller maximum output.
-
Value was mixed: reviewers often praised performance and competition, but several called it expensive or not the cheapest option.
-
Consumables were mixed: a no-pod workflow was strongly praised, while one review noted that included paper filters eventually need replacement.
-
Pot brewing was praised through the programmable timer and the ability to wake up to a fresh-brewed pot.
Cons
Sort
-
Common design flaws included a poor manual, small or unclear water-tank details, leftover reservoir water, noise, learning curve, and an underwhelming cold-brew capacity for some users.
-
Warranty evidence was limited and negative-leaning because one review said the two-year warranty was not industry leading.
-
Milk and frothing were only lightly evaluated; one owner noted the lack of a built-in frother but did not personally consider it a major drawback.
