Customer Reviews Bodum Bistro Pour Over Electric Coffee Maker

If you like your first cup of coffee in the morning to be lukewarm and your second to be cold, this is the coffee maker you should get.

This is a handsome-looking but poorly performing machine. Ordered last Christmas, it was used once daily yet broke within six months. Zappos was fabulous in its return policy and sent us a replacement, no questions asked. The second one has now quit working after less than six months single daily use. I do not recommend it.

This is a lousy coffee maker! First it holds water for 1 cups yet will only take 8 scoops of coffee in the filter making weak coffee. More times than not the filter jams up so the grounds spill all over the thermos and base of the maker. I have used this several times and it has failed to make any good cup over 4!

I did not find that it produced a very hot cup of coffee. It brews very fast, but the water pressure spreads the grinds everywhere, what a mess. Perhaps my unit is defective, but I will be going back to my older unit. Getting in contact with Bodum was not easy.

Had to return it. It makes great coffee. The carafe leaked from the handle. The actual maker also leaked. And it was impossible to remove and replace the carafe without coffee coming out of the machine with nowhere to go except either down the carafe or onto the bottom of the maker. Great coffee but I didn't want to clean after every single pour.
