StarfritProgrammable Drip Coffee Maker - 12 Cups - LCF Display - Stainless Steel Design

What's not to like? The Starfrit coffee maker is quite inexpensive. It makes a nice, piping-hot pot of coffee, with adjustable brew strength. Great coffee maker for the money.

Gave this 5 star rating for all categories and overall. The functions do what they are supposed to, including extra strength coffee does come out strong. The removable grounds basket is easy to clean and saves on buying filters and extra trash. It is easy to use, and looks great on my counter. It is a very attractive stainless steel machine that leaves out the bulkiness you see in a Mr. Coffee, but will still brew up to 12 cups at a time. I usually brew 4 cups each day as I live alone, and it does very well for small brewing as well. As prior military, I appreciate the military time display. I'd recommend this to anyone looking for a great coffee maker.

UPDATED REVIEW. I purchased this coffee pot a couple months after my mom purchased and loved it. Several months ago she said the machine would leak water all over her counter. I thought maybe it was because she is semi-handicapped and possibly not getting the water into the machine. Last week, ours started doing the same thing. It appears water leaks from the bottom. Husband put a cookie sheet underneath and we tested it. It would fill the small cookie sheet with nearly 1/4" of water. As much as loved the simplicity of this machine, leaking water and having the plugged in machine standing in sitting water was not our idea of safety. Nice coffee pot. Took awhile to get used to the 24 hour clock.

I really like this so far. It’s really easy to clean (yay dishwasher safe stuff!) and makes making coffee really easy (love the setting the coffee maker to start in the morning so I don’t have to focus as much then - I am not a morning person but the machine makes it easier. The clock using military time took a bit of getting used to but other than that I really like it.

Unfortunately I shattered the carafe by knocking it off the counter, and needed a fresh look anyway after years of service. My friend, who is quite the coffee drinker, always compliments my Community Coffee dark roast made in this coffee maker.

I don’t program it so can’t review that. It makes my coffee hot and quick. It’s pretty on the counter and wasn’t a bad price. Overall happy.

Met all expectations. great looking unit, simple to use. Works on a 24hr clock, meaning it reads in military time.. Great for an Army lifer.. Simple to use and makes a great cup of Joe.

Coffee is warm and not hot after being brewed. Almost room temperature.

Work great only thing can not get the timer working

Nice internal filter. Glad i don't have to buy filters anymore.

I am satisfied with my purchase so far. I appreciate how hot my coffee is and enjoy the strength option. I did not give 5 stars only because it is a little bit tricky to get the water in the machine without a little spilling. I don't mind but I guess it could be a problem for some. I would buy again.

Don't like the 24 hour clock

I had my doubts before getting this machine for sure looking at its price. I used to have a Kitchen Aid which I paid around $100 for. All clouds cleared as I had my first mug. The coffee tastes the same and as hot as it should be. I use grinded Tim Hortons Original coffee and make 2 mugs a morning and the taste and heat is always consistent. To make cleaning easy, rather then using its own filter alone, I use filters I got from the grocery store and dispose the coffee easily. If you like darker coffee make sure you press the intensity button before brewing. I highly recommend this product as it does the job well.
