It makes good coffee and very practical set up. Have been using this particular style for over 10 years and was so surprised that I was able to get a brand new one after this many years. It sure has made my coffee drinking so enjoyable.

Love the Gevalia line, but this model is a little different. Doesn't keep the coffee as hot, and the water filler area is very narrow. But when the base wears down i will probably buy another one!

Since Gevalia no longer produces coffee makers it seems silly to review it. I will say that the product sent, although probably over 10 years old, was “brand new “ as promised, still in the original packing. Please don’t use my name. Use something like “very satisfied customer”

I got the Gevalia coffee maker 21 years ago when we got married. (Replaced the one from years before that was also excellent but was broken in a move). It still makes the best pot of coffee ever. Someone broke the carafe last year. I've tried to find the replacement, but the carafes are all too tall. I've tried 3 other coffee makers. Just not as good. How do i find the smaller pot? It is a 12 cup but with a shorter carafe?

I gave away My Cuisinart DBK500BK Grind in Brew to go back to my Gevalia coffee maker. Reasons being... 1. Easy to program. Lost the instructions to the Cuisinart (see my tip below for The Gevalia's instructions)and never could figure out on the BDK500BL how to program it. 2. The Gevalia coffee makers has a cone shaped filter. The Cuisinart had the flat basket; if you less than 6 cups, you run the chance of not having the grounds covering the entire bottom of the basket, ergo a weaker cup of coffee. What ever coffee you decide to purchase, get one that uses cone shaped filters as it makes a much better cup of coffee. 3. You can brew loose tea in a cone shaped filter. And you can purchase the reusable gold type 4. The water level indicator is on the outside of the unit. On the Cuisinart you had to look inside the water reservoir and use a flashlight too. 5. With the Grind and Brew, every so often the drip stop plug on the pause & pour part would get stuck open and, as you remove the carafe, coffee poured out. Can't remember The Gevalia ever doing that. Will up date if necessary. 6. Easy to pour carafe. You may not think that is necessary to mention, but My brother and sister-n-law have a coffee maker's carafe that when you pour that that first cup, you had to do it over the sink as coffee ran down the front (poor design on the spout). I'll find out what brand it is and report back. 7. The Gevalia made a much better cup of coffee. So all and all, The Gevalia is a simple and practical coffee maker without any complicated features. I love my Gevalia so much I purchased two used units online to keep in reserve as I seem to be hard on appliances. Below are some programing instructions and Coffee maker maintenance tips. Gevalia Instructions Use the scoop provided to add your coffee. If you prefer strong European coffee, use one level scoop of coffee for each cup or 6 oz. or 10 scoops for a full pot. Adjust the amounts according to your taste, but don't exceed the 12-cup level of water in the reservoir. Securely position the filter basket, push down and lock into place. Close the reservoir cover and press the "On" button. The red LED light indicates the cycle has begun. When the cycle ends, there will be excess hot liquid in the filter basket. Let it cool before removing the basket and the coffee grounds. The warming plate will operate for up to two hours, as long as the red LED light is lit, then it will automatically shut off. When you're completely finished, turn the switch off. For brewing consecutively, allow at least 10 minutes in between pots. Rinse the filter basket for each brew. Setting Auto-Brew Set the clock by pressing the hour and minute button to scroll through the numbers to set the current time. When the correct time is reached, release the button. Don't forget to set the time for AM/PM, located above and below the red indicator light. The clock will flash a few times until the time is set. Press the program button and the words will appear on the clock. Set the appropriate time you want the brewing cycle to commence, using the hour and minute buttons. Press program again to confirm your setting. The program indicator will flash a few seconds before automatically returning to the current time.
