This is a basic coffee maker. Unfortunately, you really must use the mesh filter that comes with the appliance. Using paper cone filters for more than 4 cups of coffee will lead to clogging in the water drip container and cause the water to overflow and make a mess. If cheap is what you want in a coffee maker then, this is it. You definitely get what you pay for with this product.
My old coffeemaker finally gave up the ghost over Christmas. I felt guilty spending a lot of money on myself to get another machine so I went with Target's cheapest ... this Toastmaster. It is a choice I have resented and regretted ever since. I will *never* buy a Toastmaster product again. You can't pour water or coffee without it spilling all over the counter. The machine is poorly built in that you can barely get the coffeepot out without forcing open the flimsy coffee door. There's no auto-off option. The "stop and pour a cup" concept doesn't work -- you run serious risk of burning yourself (or the house down) using this machine on a day-to-day basis and mine is going in the trash. I went to Walmart last night and bought a decent Mr. Coffee machine with all the bells and whistles for $50 and it is already worth the price because of the lack of aggravation and disgust I didn't have to suffer thru this morning, just to get a cup o' joe going. Save yourself the misery and spend the extra money on a different brand. In this case, you *do* get what you pay for ... don't pay for this, whatever you do!
I got this coffee maker for christmas, and the first time I went to pour a cup of coffee the basket swung out dripping hot coffee and grounds all over. We should all get refunds and the product should be pulled from the market. It is a danger to all how have one.
I brought this coffee maker about a month ago. It*s the old story, you get what you pay for. This coffee maker is the worst piece of garbage, I*ve ever purchased. You can*t pour water from the pitcher into the coffeemaker without it leaking all over the place.When the coffee is finished brewing, there is coffee and coffee grinds all over the counter top and floor. WE even noticed that the teflon coating on the warmer was coming off the first time, when we wiped it off. What a mess. After about a month trying to use this thing, with no success, I finally threw it into the garbage can, and went out and brought a Sunbeam coffee maker.I*ve have read reviews on this item from other people on the web, and they share my views entirely. Maybe a few people have had a good experience with this item, but very few. PLEASE don*t buy this item. If you have, you know, what I am talking about.I only paid about $10.00 for it, but you would think a person should at least, get about six months of good service out of it, before you began having trouble with it, at least I think you should.I started to call the company to complain, but I figured it would cost me more than it would be worth, to ship it back to the company for repairs. So I told my wife to forget it, and as I have said, we brought a new coffee maker, but not toast maker. I think toast maker should stick to making maker toaster ovens, and forget making coffee makers, that I think they know nothing about.This item should have been taken off the market, long ago.This is my report on this toastmaster coffee maker.Thanks for reading it.Sincerely,James F. Kilner.
I bought this coffee maker when my previous machine died a sudden death and I was short of cash. After nearly a year (see previous review) I don't regret the purchase at all. I was recently given a Krups coffee maker (around 50$ here on Amazon) and the ONLY improvement I can claim on the Toastmaster is that brewing is about half the time (about 10 minutes for a 10 cup pot vs. about 20 minutes with the Toastmaster). Everything else has functioned wonderfully for the year I've used it (and I'm a coffee freak who often brews a couple of pots a day). Even the white plastic, which I was sure would stain doesn't look bad at all. I still recommend it, especially if you're on a budget and/or need a "second" or "backup" machine.
