Haden Brighton Coffee Machine, 12 Cup Programmable Drip Coffee Maker with Auto Shut-Off Function and Reusable Washable Water Filter, Sky Blue & Chrome

I wanted to love this coffee maker and I do. It is adorable on my counter, makes delicious coffee and greets me in the morning with a fresh pot. I’ve had it a few days and all of the features work well. I use it with a paper, cone filter which makes it easy to grab the used grounds and add them to my garden composter. I liked the look of it so much I ordered the toaster to match in the putty color.

I am overwhelmed and in love with this coffee. It is far better in every way over the Bunn pots I have used for years. So easy to set up, beautiful to use and look at. Coffee good and fast to brew. I discovered that a number 2 filter fits the drip screen perfectly. Coffee tastes good, smells wonderful and a great pot of coffee to wake up to in the morning.

Functionality is great!! nice color no problems with this model so far.

It's taller than my old coffee maker, so I cannot easily open/close the lid under the kitchen cabinets...a minor inconvenience. The lid is a bit flimsy, and the "chrome" is plastic so it feels and looks cheaper in person. I also am not a huge fan of the filter. I loved the idea of a reusable one to reduce waste, but it does let a decent amount of residue build up for that last cup at the bottom of the pot. It does stay nice and hot and is a good value for the price point.

I saw this which y coffee maker with the copper trim and loved the clean look and simple design. But as soon as we got it out of the box, there were problems. It says to run the coffee maker with water through several times and it was immediately apparent why. The steam coming from the maker smelled like strong plastic. We did this process 6 times before making our first pot. Our first pot leaked and spurted all over the counter and floor. We figured it out, the coffee filter holder insert was slightly misaligned, so the coffee was dropping on the ball of the pot and splashing up. So not simple to use. We adjusted it, but the coffee had a film on it and smell and tasted off. So we through it away. We ran water through the pot 3 more times, so a total of 10 times before using. The first pottasted off, but we thought it might be the coffee. So we made some freshly ground coffee, and still the same. This morning, we made coffee, nothing obviously broken after owning it for less than two weeks, and grounds and coffee everywhere. It’s not worth the money. The capacity is fine, if you don’t mind it on the counter and floor as well.

After two years, it’s still working and looking great. I would buy this model again in the future, when needed.
