Love my Waring Coffeemaker
I am extremely pleased with my Waring Pro Coffeemaker. So pleased, I purchased one for my mother also...and she loves hers. I insist on a cone filter but found that most coffee makers have the flat kind. I wanted a viewable water level indicator. And I wanted a good hot cup of coffee. The waring does all this and more. I love that the basket holding the filter will not open unless you press the release button. That's a wonderful improvement over my last coffeemaker which had a habit of the basket swinging open during brewing. The sleek look fits right in with my kitchen decor. I also like the blue backlight on the timer window.
The alarm that sounds when the coffee is ready is really not that loud, contrary to what some others have stated. I find it welcoming since I start my coffeemaker and then go about my schedule getting ready for work. The three beeps tells me I can come get my hot cup now. (The volume level of the beeps is about the same as a microwave)...
Makes Good Coffee and Nicely Designed.
I purchased this coffeemaker to replace our Mr. Coffee PRX23, ( vintage 1998 ) which had served us well over the years. When looking over the products currently available in stores, it seemed as if the art and science of coffeemaker design had gone backwards over the past ten years. Some of them looked to be three-handed affairs for loading the coffee, and others looked impossible to clean, like the water tanks on the current Cuisinarts. This Waring seems like it would be easy to clean, since you can lift the swing-out basket completely off the unit, and if your hands aren't overly large you can reach down into the water reservoir.
The coffee tasted fine, although if I could add a feature, it would be an adjustable warmer for a little higher holding temp, since we usually add cream. Reviewer Ken mentions using the 1-4 cup feature to obtain a higher brewing temp, so I might try that with a full pot. The java connoisseurs all claim cone filters are superior to the...
Great unit, but glass carafe broke and replacement is N/A
PS: I wrote the review below over one year ago (12/23/10, today is 1/9/12). I still love the coffee maker overall (except for the 5 beeps). However, I just broke the glass carafe in the dishwasher about a week ago!! Not sure how it broke just sitting there, since it was broken before I removed it (maybe cheap or defective glass?), but it sure stinks. Anyway, the factory replacement carafe (CMS120CRF) made by Waring is "out of stock" everywhere on the internet. This is a problem...nnnnnneed.......coffffff....ffffeeeee!
I had planned to call Waring to confirm, and hopefully see if they could recommend a "universal" replacement carafe. Maybe not perfect but a similar size at least close enough to function. This is a major drawback for Waring customers - who wants to buy a product that doesn't have service parts available? The 10-cup Waring CMS100 carafe is available on Amazon but I cannot tell how large it is - there are no measurements published anywhere. Even when...
