| Review | Rating | Last Updated | Great Coffee - Bad Switches
This is, by far, the best coffee maker I have owned. The coffee is simply delicious, and kept warm at just the perfect temperature.
<br />
<br />That said, I just ordered my third Presto in two years. My previous machines both had a bad "on" switch, so that the start cycle quit working. Perhaps I'm a little tough on my machines, but I really doubt it. More likely, the switches are on the cheap side, and I would be willing to bet that more than a few others have had this problem as well. Too bad, because otherwise this machine is simply fantastic.
<br />
<br />Still, when the switch on my second machine quit, I quickly ordered another Presto. We've tried many others (Krups, Braun, etc.) but none make as good a cup as (this quirky little) Presto.
<br />
<br />If you don't mind replacing it on a fairly regular basis, it's a definite buy! | 4 | 771 days ago | Good coffee - Poor quality
I bought the Presto after reading many reviews and after 8 months of owning it here's what I think:
<br />
<br />Yes, it makes great coffee. Perfect brewing - never had better at home.
<br />Yes, it smells like plastic at first but it went away quickly.
<br />Yes, the timer is incredibly cheap....and despite reading this in other reviews I bought it anyway. No problems until yesterday.....it died. The timer completely fizzled out and it's integrated with the whole on/off mechanism so no more Presto. Luckily, my intuition told me to keep my old maker on a shelf in the basement. 8 year-old Braun that makes crappy coffee....but it still works. I won't buy another Presto again.
<br />
<br />It felt cheap coming out of the box and despite making great coffee it's poor quality won the argument. | 1 | 771 days ago | Good while it lasted
I bought this coffee maker slightly over a year ago. It just quit working. The coffee it made was great, and I liked its looks and features. But, I will not get another one because of its short life span. | 3 | 771 days ago | Dead after a year
Sigh.... I researched and researched and researched and I came up with this coffeemaker as the GOAT (Greatest of All Time). It was the little things at first- the hot plate under the cofee carafe started peeling. It had been black. Then as it chipped and chipped it turned silver. It could still make a cup of coffee. It just wasn't pretty. I was willing to soldier on. Alas, this morning it died. Not even a year after purchasing it. My last coffee maker had been some cheapo $20 thing that I dragged cross country and only died because I thought it might be a good idea to immerse it in water to clean it. Look- everyone has lapses in judgment. That was mine. So anyway- I didn't even do that to this coffee maker. So now I have to find another one. Sigh.... | 1 | 771 days ago | Couldn't get past the plastic odor and chemical taste
During two weeks of trying to use this machine, I tried every thing I could think of to eliminate the plastic odor, which, to me, also affected the taste. While the odor has decreased somewhat, it is, unfortunately, still present. And we're not talking about a mild plastic odor; this is a strong smell that reminds me of some kind of chemical solvent.
<br />
<br />I really hate that nothing I tried completely eliminated the plastic odor and taste, because, other than that, I really like this coffee pot. It is one of the few, maybe the only, reasonably priced drip coffeemakers that brew coffee at the correct temperature and speed, plus it seems to be well-made and looks good in my kitchen.
<br />
<br />Why would a company go to the effort of making such an otherwise worthy machine and then spoil it by using some obnoxious kind of plastic for the water reservoir??
<br />
<br />For now, this coffee pot is going out to sit on a shelf in the garage. Maybe if it has a chance to air out for six months, I'll like it better. | 2 | 771 days ago |
