This review is from: Saeco Easy Fill 12-Cup Automatic Drip Coffee Maker, Stainless SteelI had tried three different machines before purchasing this one, and I am completely satisfied with it. The equivalent Cuisinart machine, which has excellent ratings on Amazon and elsewhere was a huge disappointment: the place where you fill the water is this tiny area on the back right of the machine when you lift off the cover...getting the water in there at 5AM when I am half asleep was NOT easy. That is why that machine went back to the store. Then I tried the Krups, and thought is was a little better, i.e. the space to get water in was somewhat larger, it was still not ideal, and after a couple of days the indicater for how much water is in the tank seemed to have air bubbles in it so the reading was completely inaccurate. I tried to refill a number of times and put unit upside down...but could not fixt the bubble problem, so that one went back to the store. Then I tried the Kitchenaid coffee maker with the romovable water tank...great idea and super easy, BUT, this coffee machine had a basket filter area and not cone, and I almost overflowed the filter area making only 7 cups of coffee (because we like our coffee strong). There is NO WAY I could have made the full 12 cups with that machine. The Saeco has removable tank and cone filter and is super-easy to use, very quiet, it's a front loader so you don't have to pull out the machine every time you make coffee...I am extremely satisfied with its design and performance...I have had it for a month now and thought I would write a review because it only had one!! I highly recommend this coffee maker!!...This review is from: Saeco Easy Fill 12-Cup Automatic Drip Coffee Maker, Stainless SteelBought Saeco Easy Fill coffeemaker to replace another brand w/ same features (don't have to move coffeemaker from under cabinets) that quit working after 5 months. Waited a couple weeks for it to be released - pretty happy so far. Just made my 2nd cup w/ the Saeco: machine has been on for an hour and coffee is HOT. Directions in manual aren't very clear, but it was fairly easy to figure everything out. Push a button on the front and the water/coffee "hopper" pulls out of machine. Fill w/ water, set on counter and fill w/ coffee, put back in machine & hit "start". Comes w/ permanent filter, but I've never liked those: even the manual says you'll end up w/ grounds in the carafe. I didn't realize it took "cone" filters, and I have about 200 "basket" style left: I just lifted out the permanent filter, put a basket filter under it, re-inserted permanent one, and filled w/ coffee. Machine is really quiet too, no gurgling and sighing! This is the first pot of coffee I've brewed, so brand reliability is still in question (never heard of Saeco before), but I'm pleased so far. Can't believe more companies aren't designing coffeemakers that can stay put under the cabinet!!UPDATE: Have now had Saeco coffeemaker for a couple of months. Still very pleased. LOVE that it beeps when coffee's done brewing (for those times I get busy and forget I started it), and beeps again when it shuts off (so I can get one last cup while it's still hot - and it's still hot after 2 hours!). So far the ONLY thing I don't like is when I pull the hopper out to empty the grounds there are drops of water on it that inevitably roll onto the floor/counter. Not a huge deal if you're careful, and it's only a few drops. Could easily be solved if they changed the design to slope the top of it slightly towards the center. That is honestly the ONLY thing I don't like about this machine. Very satisfied, definitely recommend it! Thank you Saeco!!!...This review is from: Saeco Easy Fill 12-Cup Automatic Drip Coffee Maker, Stainless SteelCustomer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)

A great coffee maker with clock, timer, and auto shut off. The novel concept behind this coffee maker is that the water holding tank is included in the basket system for the coffee. It allows you to fill the coffee maker with up to 12 cups worth of water without having to pull the maker out from under your cabinets, the way you do with traditional top loading coffee makers. The coffee maker holds 12 cups of water. There is a gold cone basket included. This way you do not have to buy any additional paper coffee filters, ever.The unit has a clock with a timer. You can set and wake up to fresh hot coffee. After an hour, the unit shuts off so you won't have to worry about going back home to turn off your coffee maker.It also has a burner temperature adjustment so you can control how hot the burner is, keeping your coffee either luke warm, or very hot.The unit brews the coffee at the right temperature for coffee, and freshly brewed coffee is piping hot.It also has a pause and serve feature that allows you to remove the glass carafe part way though brewing to steal a cup of coffee....
