WOW! This is the best thing since sliced bread! Seriously. I really like the fact I can make one cup or four cups. Sometimes after work I really like a good cup of coffee and this is the ticket! Very easy to use and maintain. For me, it is worth every penny. I really am hoping this machine lasts me for many years to come. I use a Technivorm KM5 grinder set on 6, and for me this is the perfect grind and flavor. One thing I have had to get through my thick skull is that pouring the last drop out of the thermal pot one MUST put a finger on the top. I have managed to have that top fall off in my cup now 4 or 5 times because I insist on tipping that thing as much as possible to get the last drop out. That is on me not the design. I am very pleased all the way around. A very quality made machine. You can feel it when you set it up. Plastic pieces and all - I recommend the BALMUDA without question.

It makes excellent coffee if you use good beans. I got it since I'm a bit of a coffee addict and I don't really mind that it only brews 1 large cup of coffee at a time.

Compact but flavorful. I am impatient and speed through manual hand pouring. This does all the work for me and it makes the coffee tastes so much better. I am a Black Dark Roast coffee drinker. This would work for any coffee connoisseur. If you are thinking about it, just get it. No regrets. You will look forward to your mornings! This is a very simple yet elegant solution to automated coffee drip. Simple minimalist. I had previously used the manual Chemex Drip but I developed carpal tunnel syndrome and looked for an automatic drip coffee machine. I was deciding between Chemex Ottomatic vs Balmuda. I went with Balmuda because I am one person. Also, I had previously broken three Chemex glasses while washing them after use. I am not the most delicate person so I went with this stainless steel carafe that also will keep my coffee warm. This Balmuda at most makes 2 cups Americano or 3 cups Espresso at one go. You can set it to 1-3 European sized cups. It’s perfect for one person. Having said that, it’s easy to make a few more pots since it is automatic. I have included pictures below with an electric kettle and MySoda machine for sizing. I also used my leftover Chemex’s coffee filters hence it looks oversized. It came with a few sample filters. Happy with the purchase and I also own a Balmuda Toaster.

I purchased my brew from Amazon last July. It worked perfectly for nearly 11 months. One morning I turned the unit on and all the lights started blinking and an alarm intermittently buzzed. I consulted the owners manual and it said that if this happens there is a fault inside the machine. I called the Balmuda service department phone number and it was answered by an automated voice that said that I should leave a message. I received a follow on call, but was not home when the call came. I called back repeatedly and left messages at their service number, but never received a call back. I submitted a request for service on their web site and received an email with a claim number. I also received repeated messages from Balmuda informing me that they had requested more information from me. I received no such message requesting additional information and informed them by email of that fact. I received another message requesting a video of the fault lights blinking. I sent the video 4 times after I kept getting no response from them. They did not answer any of my emails and would not call me back after they left the first message on my answer phone. My conclusion is that they are probably stalling until the warrantee expires in the middle of July, 2024. This is a high priced machine and I expected that they would honor their warrantee. The bottom line is that I paid hundreds of dollars for a machine that lasted 11 months. Buyer beware!

We love this coffee pot - it not only makes delicious coffee every time, it is aesthetically beautiful and not bulky. I have recommended it to many of my friends already. We also like the fact that it makes delicious coffee without having to mess with whole beans. (You can, we prefer not to) The only downside I can see is that it may not work well for a large family. It makes 2 cups of coffee with each cycle. That said, the coffee is so easy to make, its essentially perfect coffee on demand, all day long, without having to make a huge pot. Highly recommend!
