Soho 5-Cup Coffeemaker – Compact Drip Coffee Machine for Home or Office Brewing

This coffee maker is the perfect size for one person. It brews quickly and is easy to use. Works well with limited counter space and has automatic shut off!

This brewer makes a good, hot cup of coffee but it brews a little bit on the bitter side of taste. You have to experiment with the amount of coffee you put in the brew basked to find the right mix. It is not 800 watts as stated in the description (and stated on the Cuisinart website). It is just 600 watts per the label on the bottom. This is important because of how hot it heats the water to release flavor from the coffee grinds. It does brew hot coffee, but this is a very deceptive practice on Cuisinart's part as they have over stated power on other coffee brewers I've tried from them. It is very easy to keep clean and compact in size. It will be easy to descale. The water reservoir can be removed to fill. It is not necessary. I fill the pot with water and then pour it in the reservoir up top without removing it. The reason I purchased this brewer was because of the higher wattage rating and it's supposed ability to brew hotter. It isn't anymore powerful than other similar size brewers. I am hoping that over time it holds up and doesn't end up putting out just lukewarm coffee after two years.

Sorry it took me so long to find this one. Made iced coffee as soon as it arrived, tastes great, machine is cute, runs smoothly. Little bigger profile than I wanted in a 5 cup machine but it's sturdy and solid and my guess is it'll last longer than the last few I've had.
