I was curious from the great reviews of their small coffee maker as well as their known reputation of well made products. We also were informed it had to be simple, stainless, and with a glass carafe lol. I ran warm water through a brew cycle at the temp was as 190. It's very well made and takes no4 cone filters. Tomorrow I will retake the temps at 230am with real coffee on the next test. If this doesn't satisfy our requirements, then I'll break down and order a moccamaster lol.
