Some of the best homemade coffee I have ever had. I’ve had many coffee machines and coffee making gadgets in the past and this is by far my favourite and least expensive one ! Easy clean up, inexpensive and takes up very little space in my cupboards. I use it with the number 2 Melitta brand filters and add about 1.5 tbsp of Starbucks coffee. I get a rich robust cup of coffee. No cons on my end !
