The Prize Patrol stopped in front of your house and you were so flabbergasted you dropped the pot of coffee you were holding! Or perhaps a more mundane occurrence, like the phone ringing, caused you to bang your carafe just a tad too hard against the side of the sink. Not to worry, replacement carafes are available for most coffeemakers.
"It works!"2010-05-14 By S. Anderson (South Carolina, USA) This coffee Decanter is unbelievable! It holds a remarkable 10 cups of coffee for up to two hours, ( maybe more, I usually have drank all the coffee by then.) It is also made of some type of clear material that allows you to see how much coffee is left, simply remarkable! This item really makes you appreciate the marvelous times in which we live! I will keep my old tortoise shell I use to use as a decanter for old times sake. But I will never go back after using the Bunn NCD 10-cup Black Coffee Decanter!
"Simple Operation, Few Moving Parts"2010-04-27 By Michael Kaiser (Middle Tennessee) What can I say? Its a BUNN coffee pot. This replaced the original after a tragic confrontation with our cat. Works flawlessly. Best price found for a brand new replacement.
"Bunn Carafe"2010-04-07 By Evelyn G (New Mexico) The carafe arrived in perfect condition on the dy that I was told it would arrive. I was thrilled to be able to make coffee again. Bunn is the best coffee maker, that I have ever used.
"Coffee Decanter"2010-03-25 By Grace E. Patterson Looked all over for a replacement decanter. Bought the ones that said universal but they didn't fit. This was perfect, got it fast, no running around. Wish I had started at internet instead of running around, buying then having to return.
"Bunn coffee pot"2010-02-10 By Moriah Rost (Sahuarita, AZ, US) I broke my Bunn coffee pot. So I replaced it by ordering from Amazon.com. They were fast in delivery. Very pleased.

"Another Use"2010-05-18 By Susan Gleason (Forest Hills, NY United States) I recently received this ordered from Amazon. It does work with the Pods, although the pods I bought Senseo French Vanilla were vile. I had to throw it out, although it was a strong cup of coffee. Nothing to do with the pod holster...the coffee was terrible. The best use I found was for the cover of the holster. Wash out a regular k-cup, fill it with your own coffee, line up the hole, cover with the top of the pod holster, brew on small cup...and viola a fairly decent cup of coffee! That will probably be my primary use for it now.
"Exellent Product!!!"2010-05-03 By Alright Kid (San Antonio, TX USA) The EZ-Cup system works great!
From day one (including my first atempt) I have had NO problems (including those sited in other reviews).
Add the amount of coffee to taste... Follow the directions and it works great. From start to finish preparing the EZ-Cup for brewing does not take more than an extra minute over popping in a K-Cup. Cleanup time is exactly the same as K-Cup.
Filters are sort of pricey, but still significantly less than K-Cup, plus you can drink the coffee you prefer, the way you like.
I recommend purchasing this product.
"Pod holster for use in Keurig Coffee Makers"2010-04-14 By Myron J. Rutsky (Long Island, NY) Nice little contraption if you want to use less expensive pods in your Keurig Brewer. It's simple and easy to use. Just gently form the pod into a mushroom cap like shape and put into the holster and cover with the lid. Pop into your Keurig brewer and you're set. One drawback is if you remove the cup and then open the top to remove the holster, any coffee left in the holster drips into the drip tray.
"EZ-Cup Perfect Pod"2010-04-10 By J. Schoeller This EZ-Cup holster is great, you do need to order the EZ-cup paper refills to use with this product, you need only one and use the coffee of your choice, I like to use what I have always used, works great with my B40 Keurig coffee maker. I had ordered a second EZ-Cup holster for my Keurig and nice to have one ready to go when I need it. The coffee tastes great, just throwing away the paper filter not the plastic pod, good for the environment lots of plus's.
"Having problems with this."2010-04-10 By Mr. Smarty (Bennington, VT) I have followed the instructions closely and brewed about 14 cups of coffee so far to give it a fair try. About 3/4 of the time the bottom of the filter has "blown-out" and grounds get blasted out the bottom of the filter into my cup. I have tried coarse grinds, packing loosely, etc. Can not seem to get the filters to hold up. I am using a Breville machine. I think that at the end of the brew, where it gives you a little blast of air, the pressure is putting too much stress on the filters and they just rip at the bottom. I will be going back to the filter baskets. It's a good idea...maybe the quality of the filters has fallen off?

"Dezcal Scale Remover"2010-01-31 By M. Bronson (Milltown, NJ United States) This product worked well on my Tassimo Single Cup coffee maker. I followed the directions. Only 1 packet needed. I recommend you run water through your coffee maker several times after using, to wash out the acidic smell....coffee tasted great after cleaning.Bosch TAS6515UC Tassimo Single-Serve Coffee Brewer, Twilight Titanium

"Lasted three months"2010-05-12 By Jane F. Wiedel (Stockton, IL USA) I should have taken my sister-in-law's advice. At least hers lasted a year. This one gave up the ghost after three months. It made great coffee during that time, but at $100.00 that's too much to pay. Frankly, I'd pass on it.
"Excellent coffee maker"2010-05-09 By E. Nolan We are very pleased with this coffee maker. With a 10 cup coffee maker, we were always running out before we were finished. This maker gives us enough. Also, with the thermal carafe it stays warm from early morning to afternoon. Excellent.
"Best Bang for the Buck"2010-05-08 By R. Westmoreland (Puerto Rico) OK... Many folks have already said this. but it's worth repeating. All thermo carafes require you to 'charge' them with hot water so as to condition them just prior to turning it on. If you are too lazy to 'temper' your thermos, then yes, it will only give you lukewarm coffee. Don't buy this unit if you need to set it up the night before so it kicks on in the morning before you get up. Do your homework!!! I had the cheap Black and Decker Thermo unit and its nothing like my new Cuisinar. Worth every penny!
"Cuisinart Coffeemaker"2010-05-07 By D. Brown (Maine, USA) We love everything about our coffeemaker. It brews the coffee hot and the carafe keeps it that way. The only thing I would like to see improved is the water level guage is on the side which makes it diffucult to see while pouring water into the tank.
"Cuisinart Coffee Maker"2010-04-26 By J. Starling (Ames, IA, US) We really like our new coffee maker. It is hard to find one with a carafe for over 8 cups, and this holds 12. It stays hot for a very long time, and the beep someone mentioned being loud (indicates it is finished brewing) is not loud at all. It is just right. Appreciate the signal coffee is ready!!
Melitta U S A Inc 640007 Perfect Brew Filter Cone Reviews Other products by Melitta U S A Inc Ratting 4.5 Out of 5.0 Special Offer Total New 11 Total Use 0
Fresh brewed coffee 1 cup at a time. 1 cup filter cone. Place the filter cone on a coffee cup. Insert a No. 2 Melitta cone filter. Scoop in your favorite coffee to taste. Add hot water, then indulge in a cup of fresh brewed coffee. Includes a starter pack
"It's plastic, with a hole in it."2010-04-30 By B. Godwin (New River Valley, Virginia) I bought this on a whim. I saw it on my local grocery store's shelf right below the #2 Melitta cone filters it requires. I grabbed it with not much thought or fanfare. When I got home, I washed it, turned on my water kettle and ground up some beans.
As I began pouring the hot water into my grounds, I literally had one of those V-8 moments *bonk*. This method is exactly what I do sometimes with my coffee pot... On occasion I will sometimes use my drip coffee maker to make a cup or two using this exact pour-over method. Look at the picture again. It is not much different than any normal basket on any number of coffee makers out there. Just slice off the bottom and - voila!
So anyway, impulse got the better of me again. That's not to say however that it's a bad product but I don't think it garners a 5 star rating. It's just a coffee basket made to sit on a coffee cup. I will continue to mainly use my automatic drip. When I want better tasting coffee I will use the pour over method with my drip maker and my 10,000 filters I already have. When I want really GREAT coffee without having to wait-pour-wait...I'll continue to use my French press.
Overall, it's not bad and it's not great. It's just okay. As long as you understand that it's not going to make you do back-flips over a great cup of coffee, go for it. At two bucks what is there to lose?
"Brews Like A Champ!"2010-04-15 By B. Ramsey Melitta Natural Brown Filters claim that they enhance the flavor of the coffee and I must say they really do! I am a big coffee drinker and I loathe the taste of acidic, burnt coffee. These filters allow for the full flavor of the coffee to come through. Another great feature of these filters is that they are very durable. I have yet to rip or tear a filter during use or disposal. None of the coffee grounds find their way through the filter and when used in conjunction with the single cup coffee brewer, or "Ready Set Joe," you have a fast and easy way to enjoy a great cup of coffee (provided you use a quality coffee, Eight O'clock brand anyone?!?). I am not employed by Melitta or any company which sales its products, I'm just a fan. To sum things up, these filters are a great buy and I highly recommend them, enjoy!
"Coffee Aid"2010-03-10 By Michael Kerner (Brooklyn, New York U.S.A.) When it does come to a good cup of coffee, it always can be hard to find a great filter and a way to place it on top of a single coffee cup. While it might be hard to find ones that can work well, without the use of a simple coffee maker, fortunately for Melitta they definitely have known the best and simplest way to have the use of ground cups of coffee in just a single cup. The Perfect Brew Filter Cone handles well, where you just place a single Filter Cone with a #2 filter on top of your favorite coffee cup, put the filter in, add your favorite kind of ground coffee into the filter, and pour hot water, and let the feeling of the cup of coffee drip in just through a matter of minutes. It is simple and convient to use, with a inexpensive price. So if you just want a simple cup of ground coffee of any flavor, this is definitely the best way to go. I love using it everyday in the morning when I have my morning cup, and it definitely is worth the money, without using one of those over-the-top expensive coffee makers. I absolutely recommend Meltta's Perfect Brew Filter Cone, and if you're on a budget looking for a new way to make coffee, than I suggest you toss away your bulky coffee kit, and just get this.

"why the holes?"2010-03-07 By Linda L. Livingston This used to be a good product...before they put holes in the side. I assume they did it because some idiot couldn't figure out how much water to pour in. Well, the coffee is cold by the time it finishes brewing. I gave it three stars only because it is the only product like this I could find out there. I try to cover the wholes with aluminum foil, but it's a hassle.
"Too small"2010-02-15 By Edward Kachinske (Washington, DC, USA) This notes it's appropriate for one cup, but the cone is too small to hold enough water to steep a full cup. I have to pour water into the cone three times to fill up my cup (it would be two if I took milk in my coffee, I think).
Seems like poor design. It would be much more useful--and I would love it if--I could fill up the cone, let it steep, then drink my coffee. But now I'm left to hover over it.

"BKC700XL is enhanced and quieter!"2010-05-02 By Sebring (Boston, MA) This machine is quiet! The only sound heard is the coffee brewing! I have the older "600XL" as well- the 600XL is noisy. This 700XL is a great improvement. This is the Breville model with the "ice coffee" function. Be advised that this function brews a few ounces of hot/ strong coffee. I recommend adding your sugar or sweetner while its still hot- it disolves better. I seem to use less sugar this way. Then pour the hot coffee over ice- be careful that your glass can take the temperature change! Add cream or milk if desired. This makes a wonderful iced coffee! The aroma and flavor are second to none. Depending on the type of coffee you use- it tastes as good as any coffee shop iced coffee. The regular hot coffee brew function is excellent! I give it a "buy it" rating! Enjoy!
"I would buy it again"2010-04-07 By H. Edwin Detlie (Ottumwa, IA USA) The Breville makes great coffee, and it can be programmed to turn itself on in the morning and off at night.
It is quiet, holds a lot of water, and does what Breville claims. There is NO mess with a Keurig coffee maker, and I think Breville is the best Keurig coffee maker.
It also looks like it came from 10 Forward on the Enterprise. Picture Captain Jean-Luc Picard ordering "Tea, Earl Grey -- hot."
"Good idea - very poor reliability."2010-04-07 By William Moore (Niceville, FL) I love the convenience, the taste of the coffee, the look of machine, and everything else about it EXCEPT that my machine keeps turning off like others mentioned. I replaced the first at the store with no hassel and was thinking it was just a single defective unit. Then the 2nd machine did the same thing however, it is recoverable after cycling the power. But this is still VERY annoying and certinaly not what one would expecet for a unit at this price. I contacted Breville through e-mail and was told I could replace it through the mail but they had no units in stock and needed to wait two months (around May 2010). I queried them to see if they expected the new batch to have problems and the indication was that the problem was getting fixed. I am waiting optimistically.
"Poor quality - very unreliable. Poor customer service"2010-04-06 By Brian Tully (Danbury, CT) I, too, have been plagued by the constant shutting off of the unit due to a faulty water pump or poor design. I actually purchased a Keurig B70 a few months ago, and while it worked great for a week or so, it started having the water pump/auto shut-off issue. Contacted Keurig and they sent out a replacement fairly quickly (they did not wait to receive my faulty unit). New unit came, same issue. Contacted Keurig again, and they sent another B70. Same issue. This happened with 3 new units. Finally contacted Keurig again and asked for a refund due to their inability to make a product that works. The manager was nice, and offered an upgrade to the Breville BKC700XL, stating that it didn't have the problems of the B70. I accepted the offer.
A few weeks later, the Breville BKC700XL is having the exact same issue. After brewing a cup, the unit can't seem to take in water from the reservoir and so shuts off. When I turn the unit back on, the unit is able to take in water from the reservoir after 30 seconds or so. However if you forget to turn the unit back on immediately then it means you'll need to wait 3 minutes or so for the water to heat. Very annoying.
Contacted Breville, and got a much different customer service experience. First off, they are out of the unit so can't even send a replacement. Second, they will only send a replacement AFTER they receive your faulty unit. So as another reviewer mentioned, this means being without a coffee maker for over a week.
So my recommendation is to avoid all current Keurig/Breville K-cup coffee makers as they are extremely unreliable and not designed/manufactured well. Do your research on the internet and you'll discover as I did that this is a common issue.
The fact that the Breville BKC700XL retails for $250.00 and works so poorly is shocking.
"Love the Breville BKC700XL Coffeemaker"2010-04-04 By Leigh C. Byers Purchased the Breville BKC700XL after reading several great reviews. I was planning to buy the Keurig maker until I read other reviews listing a few problems with those. I purchased it for my husband's birthday because he has wanted a single serve maker for quite a while and I had held him off due to the cost of the maker and the k-cups. I think I like it more than he does. It is very simple to use and is made very well. I like the cup sizes and can brew a cup in my tall travel mug to take on the way to work. It comes with a reusable filter cup that stores in the coffeemaker so you can use regular coffee in it as well. I haven't found any drawbacks thus far other than it is a bit expensive. I would recommend this product to a friend.
