Great product. Very durable and low maintenance. Just as the others have said, hand wash only!

Superior quality. Dont ever place any item such as this in the dishwasher (especially w cascade), it ruins the finish. Always hand wash. Takes very little effort. Cleans and drys to original luster easily. If we should ever need additional communion sets or replacements, will once again rely on Amazon. Holds 40 cups...

It's durable since it is aluminum, but you can't be rough with it or it will dent. Holds 40 cups...I counted the holes in the picture :-)

We purchased one of these and use it weekly...it holds 40 cups. We grew so we just ordered another one. Do not put in the dishwasher; hand wash and the finish will be fine. :)

We have had it for about a year and a half. We use it once a month. We meet in a school so it gets transported back and forth. To this point it has been very durable and easy to care for. ICF Dakar, Senegal

This appliance is built to last. My family utilise this on a daily basis and it looks brand you even to this day. So with proper care ie clean up after each use, you will have a product for a very very very long time.

You don't really need to do much beyond using a sponge and some Fantastic to wipe off any spills you may get on it. They are fairly durable and you can get about 2 years out of them before you begin to notice it is getting close time to replace it. They make a very good product and thanks for the question. I'll be ordering another before the month is out. Good people that run this place by the way.

I have never used it on a frequent basis, only for large party type occasions two or three times a year, but I will say that it easy to use, clean and store. I have never had a problem with it and the coffee is always hot. If I had to buy another one I would get the same one.

I use this cup everyday and love it. I do not own the starbucks cup but I have seen it and this is made of much better quality. However, the Starbucks cup would probably get the job done as well and even though I doubt it would last as long you can replace it for cheap. If your looking for a cup to hold on to for a long time though I would go with this one.

That's hard to say. The big one lasted me over a year going camping almost every other weekend. The little ones I'm still working on. I'm talking boiling corn and cooking coffee, ramen, etc. It's a very efficient little system.

I have both kinds of cups and I have found that the plastic base which is glued onto the metal cup comes off alot. Although Foogo is really good about warranties (every time this has happened, I send it back to them and they send me a brand new one, no charge), its really annoying because it causes the liquid to leak. Also, the metal cups are much heavier than the plastic (if you plan to carry in your purse/diaper bag, etc)

Not sure about the warranty but its a 10 cup pot and is usually enough for about 2 cups each for my husband and I in the mornings (his 20oz cup an my 16oz) I'd say about 3-4 BIG coffee mugs

I'm not accurate, but I got over 375 cups for my dog. Lasted about 5 months for me.

Has been pretty indestructible for me. I certainly don't use it every day, but using a once a week for a few months, it still seems like new. I expect to get many years of use from it.

I make coffee everyday and it hasn't stained or cracked yet. I can't say it'll last forever, especially if you drop it!

Not sure what happened with the other folks but mine will be 2 years old next month and I haven't had a single issue. My Keurig brand before this only lasted 1 year. I use mine about 6 times a week. Coffee, tea and cocoa.I do use R/O water (though I read that I should not), as I want my coffee to taste good.

A lot! I make a big pot of tea every morning and it's lasted me a couple of months now. I mix about 2 spoonfuls of this with 2 spoonfuls of hibiscus tisane and it's delicious!

Great machine, but you get what you pay for, not a commercial unit. I think if you took good care of it, de scaled frequently, you could easily pump out 20-30 espressos a day. But how long would the pump last? I'd be impressed if you could go 5 years without service. We use ours a lot (for a home), at least five shots most days, and it's been in the shop a couple times. We were not taking very good care of it then though.

Hey - I've actually never made more than two cups! It works very well. Was a great purchase!

I have 2 more Jura (all big ones) and I am sure they will last much more than this time. This particular model I think is for personal use, but considering the quality of Jura, I think will last longer than 12 months. Just take in consideration that the water tank and beans compartment are small in this model, so you will have to refill it many times a day for this amount of cups. Maybe you should consider a bigger one.

I just measured the capacity and got 3 cups for top and 6 cups for the bottom. We have had it for almost one year and have not had any issues with it.
