SimplyGoodCoffee Coffee Maker / Coffee Machine. 8 Cup Automatic Drip Pour Over Coffee Brewer. Easy To Use, Gold Cup Standard. Black/Stainless Steel

I really like this well made coffee maker. My organic coffee does not have that plastic taste that I was getting with my older brewer. It strikes me as well engineer, and its kind of cool to watch it brew. And it brews very fast which was pleasantly surprising. It is easy to use, and easy to clean.

I was looking for a plastic-free coffeemaker and read about Simply Good Coffee. On the Amazon product page for this product, under "Materials and Care", it lists the materials as glass and stainless steel. THIS IS NOT CORRECT. The water reservoir, the spray arm, the filter basket and the lid of the carafe ARE ALL PLASTIC. After the fact, I discovered that Simply Good makes three models: The Brewer - Glass, The Brewer - Thermal, and The Brewer - Plastic-Free. This item is not The Brewer - Plastic-Free; it is The Brewer - Glass model. It is the Amazon product page that is wrong. I returned the item.

I saw this a couple of weeks ago and of course it bears a strong resemblance to that very well-known but expensive coffee maker. Can i make a comparison? Yes, i have one to compare with this new on the market Olsen brand. So, i bought this a week or so ago and the most obvious question is does it make good coffee? Answer, yes as good as its expensive look alike and actually a bit hotter. The design is simpler with the coffee holder being much easier to simply slide out, throw away the old filter and coffee then replace with new, note put the lid on before sliding back into place. It fits much better and does not leak droplets out of the edge onto the counter. You can stop the flow whenever you want with a simple lever, works perfectly. The glass carafe is nice, but it can spill over if you try to pour too quick, but there is plenty of room to use a different carafe, i tried the one with the funny bit on the top that i already had, perfect. So a very good coffee maker without any fiddley bits and half the price, what's not to like =) 12/13/2022 I did find that i was spilling coffee out the side of the pot when i was pouring, not always but enough to be a nuisance. So i used my Bunn 10 cup replacement carafe and as i said above it fits perfectly. The reason coffee was pouring out the side was that glass the handle on the original was hard for me to grip the thin handle properly so it would twist just a bit; the Bunn handle is much easier to grip when you are getting older. As a bonus the original lid from the glass carafe fit in the Bunn with a little pressure if you want to use it.

My husband has been getting more and more into his coffee hobby, and he loves this coffee maker and the process of how it makes a great cup of coffee. It took a little bit of figuring out, as a few times we had the opening between the grounds and the pot closed, so when we turned on the coffee pot in the morning, it made a mess with coffee spilling out rather than dripping into the pot below. Whoops. I miss our insulated coffee pot a bit, as it kept coffee warm for longer. This cools quickly after it turns off. However! My husband is the coffee guy, and he believes in this coffee maker and enjoys it greatly, so overall, 4 stars from us!

Very first cup of coffee from Simply Good tasted significantly better than any coffee I'd ever made for myself before. Round, rich, full flavor, no bitterness. Though I use cream and a bit of sugar, straight black was fabulous too. (I may have to switch.) I have been using the classic Braun Aromaster for the past 30 years because it brewed great coffee, but the Simply Good was far superior in taste. I am surprised every morning just how good my coffee is. This is what I like about it: 1. Small footprint, does not eat up entire counter like many coffee makers. 2. Simple operation -- easy to fill with filter, coffee and water. One button on and coffee's ready in 6 minutes. 3. Coffee is properly hot. 4. Cost is reasonable, and a lot less (sometimes by half) than similar coffee makers. 5. Attractive appearance, it looks like it makes good coffee, and it does! 6. Just one minor concern: automatic turnoff in 40 minutes (I know--to keep the coffee from burning) but I just hit the on button for another 40 minutes. That said, this my coffee maker for the next 30 years. Highly recommended.
