Elite Gourmet EHC-5055 Automatic 5-Cup Brew & Drip Coffee Maker with Pause N Serve Reusable Filter, On/Off Switch, Water Level Indicator

The machine does its job, and honestly that already puts it ahead of half the appliances in my kitchen that exist purely to mock me. It brews coffee. It brews it fast enough. It tastes like coffee. That’s the holy trinity. Now, does it spill a little when you pour? Sure. But before we declare the coffee maker guilty, let’s acknowledge the possibility that my hand shakes like I’m trying to defuse a bomb while detoxing from a three-day caffeine binge. Hard to blame the machine when I’m over here gripping the carafe like a raccoon trying to steal shiny objects. The “Pause N Serve” feature is clutch. I can yank the pot mid-brew like an impatient gremlin, and the machine just sighs and lets me. The reusable filter is nice too, because at least something in my life is both economical and environmentally responsible. Overall: Great little coffee maker, makes enough to keep me from committing unspeakable morning violence, and only spills when I forget how to use my own hands. Could be the product. Could be me. Probability leans strongly toward me. 5 stars, minus half a star for exposing my inability to pour liquid like a functional adult.

This coffee maker is a fantastic addition to any kitchen. It has a sleek and modern design that looks great on the countertop, while also being very easy to use. The brewing process is quick and efficient, delivering hot and flavorful coffee every time. I also appreciate the compact size, which makes it perfect for small spaces without sacrificing performance. The glass carafe is sturdy, and the overall build quality feels durable and reliable. For anyone looking for an affordable and dependable coffee maker, this is an excellent choice!

So far this is a great little coffee machine. One tip for a good tasting cup of coffee - throw out the mesh filter and use the small paper basket filters. The difference in taste is huge. No sludgy yuck in the coffee. Also make sure the plastic filter basket is properly seated or you’ll end up with a mess. Ask me how I know. Easy to clean and brews relatively quickly. A full pot in about 10 minutes. All in all it’s a good little machine that makes a decent small pot of coffee. I just hope it lasts for a while.

Perfect for traveling

This little guy has been working great! Our old pot was taking 40 minutes to brew a pot of coffee (hence why we bought this one), and this one does it in minutes with the same great taste of our beans! The numbers on the side of the carafe and the numbers on the side of the water tank are a bit misleading, as they don't line up with one another (i.e., if I fill my pot to the 4-cup line with water, then pour it into the tank, it fills the water tank to the 5-cup line). But as long as you pick one to be your guide and use it consistently, it's all fine. I LOVE that the filter is a little mesh basket and that I don't have to buy any paper liners. Such a win in my book. Super pleased with this purchase.

This coffee pot works well, makes good coffee, and is reasonably priced. One thing I really like about it is that the pause and service feature works well. I have bought other coffee pots that say they have this feature but then they don't work. Highly recommend.

This was a good little coffee pot, perfect for just me and my husband, but it completely stopped working after about a year.

Huh, mixed reviews. Well, I have NO issues with this brewer. From start to finish, no issues. --Plug in. --I fill the reservoir to the max (5 cups) with cold water --I add 5 TBS of ground coffee to the filter basket. --Make sure drip is over the coffee --Turn on via simple ON/OFF switch --Brews quickly. --POURING? no problem. Never ever a spill or dribble. EVER. --5 cups fills a couple of mugs. I dont let the coffee sit on the burner as there is no warming option (nor expected one on this size coffee maker). --Filter basket is easy to clean. I tap the spent grounds on side of garbage can, then run the filter under faucet to clear out rest. Easy peasy. Could use a paper filter if that seems complicated. --Maybe make another pot if I need it :), or I store it away until next time. I happen to have a Kcup machine, capsule machine, French press, pour over brewers, a large capacity drip brewer, and this 5 cupper. I dont have everything sitting out. I tend to grab for a kcup or for this small brewer. Just works for me. Glad I bought this. I was in the mood for drip brewed coffee, and didnt want to use my 12 cupper. My old 5 cupper was long gone, so I decided to just order this. At sub $20 I thought it a reasonable purchase. Lately I have only been making drip coffee in this, and it has been wonderful. Nice to use up some bags of coffee that I had been ignoring.

I like the fact that it has nothing digital on it and a reusable filter basket. A simple small coffee maker with an on off switch. I have it plugged into a smart plug and can tell it to start as soon as I wake up. Makes 2 mugs of coffee.

Well designed. Flavourable coffee. nice having the grounds basket, just quick wash and back in business, no paper filters required.

The Max Matic Coffee Maker has undoubtedly exceeded my expectations in delivering a rich and flavorful coffee experience. Its sleek and modern design adds a touch of elegance to my kitchen countertop. The setup process was effortless, and the user-friendly controls made brewing coffee a breeze. The 12-cup capacity is perfect for entertaining guests or ensuring a steady supply of coffee throughout the day. The coffee maker's advanced brewing technology consistently produces a smooth and aromatic brew, satisfying my taste buds every morning. What impressed me most is the programmable feature, allowing me to wake up to the delightful aroma of freshly brewed coffee. Furthermore, the carafe's thermal insulation maintains the coffee's temperature for an extended period, eliminating the need for reheating. Cleaning is a snap with the removable filter basket and drip tray. Overall, the Max Matic Coffee Maker is a fantastic addition to any coffee lover's arsenal, combining style, convenience, and exceptional performance.

We are a retired couple and have been using a similar Maxi-Matic Elite Cuisine EHC-5055 Automatic Brew & Drip Coffee Maker for over 15 years. We recently bought our 3rd coffee maker and had even gifted similar product to our friends.

Easy to use. Easy to clean. Makes great coffee.
