Mine has only been used for tea. It is a very sturdy mug and I wouldn't think there would be a problem if it were used for coffee. If you are worried about coffee stains, I think tea stains are as bad- and so far, I haven't had a problem with tea stains. Hope that helps!

It works like any other coffe maker, but you are making larger qua rues. There should be a maual

I think it works perfectly fine but I like my coffee pretty strong and probably use more grounds per cup than most. It is a finer grind than say, Folgers. Hope this helps.

I went to restaurant depot and found one suitable for the coffee maker, i could not find the carafe of the same brand, they do have it however it was almost the cost of the machine since i only payed 40.00 dlls for it and the carafe was 29.00 of the same brand. I ended up paying only 12.00 dlls at rest. Depot, they also sell them at target.

Hello, I bought some reusable pot refill for my Nespresso machine, like the concept but it did Not work at all, the coffee comes out extremely weak. I don't use it any more. Useless.

This machine is designed for roasting half pound coffee. Anthing else will be your story to share. For my machine, I won't even consider it.

Far as know, just pour over. We have it here in our 6 person office, and that's how we use it. It works pretty well, makes decent coffee, but can be a little loud when it brews.

Also I see others were not happy with this coffee maker and I don't know why. I drink a lot of coffee and have had many diff kinds of coffee makers. This one extracts the full flavor of the coffee unlike quick drip types which don't heat the water hot enough so the flavor is not as full and rich. I grind Arabica beans prior to making the coffee. You don't need a beep. Just be a little patient. Its only a few min more for a full pot and its well worth the wait. What's the rush for a great cup of coffee. You can also set up the timer so its ready when you get up. Very simple to use and make very well. Also I see others were not happy with this coffee maker and I don't know why.

I haven't tried it myself, but I know some folks who have tried heating it up and have said it isn't as good. Just because this is for cold brewing, I would recommend sticking with cold coffee.

It's really great for all grinds except French press. The finer grind you chose, the more consistent the results will be. French press is too coarse for grinders at this price point. Drip, espresso, half immersion will all turn out great!

I think it's a great coffee pot. Keeps the coffee hot for HOURS--MUCH better, in that regard, than the Mr. Coffee one we now have. The Cuisinart's 12-cup capacity is also great. The problem is, we had bought two of them, and they both decided to quit on us with no warning. The second one quit about a month after we bought it. I didn't bother trying to send it back because I was too disgusted and didn't want a replacement. For all I know, the Mr. Coffee will do the same. The electronics are screwed up on the Cuisinart; even before it stopped working both times, the clock and timed-brewing features froze, and we had to plug it in and unplug it to get it to work. I wouldn't buy it. I think it's a great coffee pot. Keeps the coffee hot for HOURS--MUCH better, in that regard, than the Mr. Coffee one we now have. The Cuisinart's 12-cup capacity is also great.

Sorry, I can only tell you the unit does well with all coffee beans I have used. This is my 2nd as I wore my first out after 4 years.

Sorry Jason...as great a coffee maker as a friend boasts it is..I got a lemon and had to send it back..never even got to make the first brew...as a coffee lover, I am very disappointed for us both...better luck next time

Thanks for your responses! I was hoping there was a way to adjust the strength because the coffee is too strong. I use Tully's French roast and it makes a great cup of coffee in the drip coffee maker, but this Krups does such an excellent job of making the most of these coffee beans, it looks like I may need to find a medium roast bean. Any suggestions? ;-)

Honestly l´ve only used regular ground coffee, or fresh ground. I do own the Kerig coffee maker which I use for specialty coffees, but I still prefer the speculator. The temperature of the additional cups stays hot.

Thanks JJLet me know how you like the A10.Now the question is, how are you grinding your beans? I have a Baratza Vario and I am also very happy with it. Occasionally grinds will stick in the basket due to static, but overall pretty rock solid. They have the new Vario that doses by weight; wish I had it. When I use my Chemex or Hario pour overs, I weigh out the beans and water. If you haven't tried a pour over, it's an inexpensive investment which brews excellent coffee.Happy brewing my friend...
