+ Keeps the coffee hot for a long time
+ the parts can be removed for washing
+ large water tank

- the power button needs to be pressed in a weird way and you end up pushing the coffee maker back
- its plastics feel somewhat... "cheap"

Excellent coffee maker overall. They have improved some things from the previous version (which my mother has). I recommend it.

I have bought it several times. Very good coffee and it has lasted many years, even with the regular use of chemicals for limescale. The thermal carafe is essential, in the glass ones the coffee cools down immediately. The automatic shut-off is lifesaving.

I had it for 2-3 years and at some point it started to get slow. In the end, it didn't pull all the water. I didn't take care of it in general (desalination, etc.). I will take better care of the new one. I hope it lasts longer, but overall I am satisfied.

As a machine, it makes very good coffee, and it is relatively quick. As a device, it is of very mediocre quality; I had the corresponding older model, and the plastics have nothing to do with each other, as well as the thermos being very light and of much lower quality. I would not recommend it; after normal daily use, relatively careful, the power button broke. It would turn on and off by itself. After a request to Skroutz, there was no replacement, my request was not accepted because it was supposedly too long since the purchase (i.e., one month and 25 days to be precise). In coordination with the store of purchase, with which I have no complaints, they were very helpful; it had to go for service, Philips did not provide a replacement, and I had to wait about 2 months. At this moment, the device is still in service; the purchase was made in November, and now it is March, and we will be drinking freddo espresso soon. Edit, April 29, and it is still in service.

Excellent appearance and nice coffee with amazing performance in maintaining its aroma. Good construction.

I see some people dismissing the coffee maker, for example, because they need to press the button again to complete the brewing of the coffee. Doesn't it occur to you that everything needs some maintenance? It needs cleaning from the limescale. White vinegar is the best. You might not believe it, but it's the truth; I bought it in 2005 for the business to always have hot ready coffee for us and our guests. Since 2013, I have it at home and it works daily every morning, winter and summer, because I take it with me to the cottage. Nineteen years and it continues like new. Keep it clean from limescale and the carafe the same way many describe. Before bringing it home, I had a Braun and I had to change the carafe 3 times (because it broke, €15 each). Buy it no matter how much it costs.

A great coffee maker, with only one difficulty being the lid of the container which is placed and used quite awkwardly (it has three positions) by an elderly person who does not see well.

Very good coffee maker, makes coffee very quickly and the jug, because it is made of inox, keeps the coffee hot for several hours (definitely 4 hours). On the negative side, the jug has a small opening and cannot be cleaned easily at all.

Unfortunately, in my case, the machine stopped working properly after three years. In order for it to function, I have to constantly press the button.

Flawless device.
You press the button and almost immediately you hear the water rising and going into the filter.
The jug is very convenient and functions like a regular thermos.

It is reliable and does its job correctly. Two negative points: a. the jug is designed in a way that makes it difficult to pour the coffee into the cup, b. it brews the coffee at a higher temperature than necessary (I estimate around 90 degrees), probably to keep it warm in the jug for longer hours. Up to 3 hours, it stays at the right temperature. Pay attention to the ratios, because from some comments it seems that some people messed up. Simple things: 1:15-1:18 (coffee:water) depending on the desired intensity. Measure the water in ml, don't get confused by the indications on the coffee maker.

Very good coffee maker until recently when the button keeps turning off constantly and I have to press it continuously to continue the water flow. It's probably broken, I am dissatisfied after 2 years for the 60 euros I spent

I have had it since 2008 and decided to write a review now.
It is the best.
Like new....

For the salts, it cleans with a little vinegar.
And the jug, when it gets black, with Vanish Oxy

Not at all a good coffee maker. The coffee comes out in very bad condition, poor thing. The carafe turned black within two months of use, as you can see, and the coffee it produces is pure poison. I came to the countryside for 5 days and remembered how the filter coffee is from a cheap 20-year-old coffee maker.

Very good quality, but it doesn't last as long as I would expect. It is the most expensive on the market and needs replacement in 2-3 years. There are coffee makers for 25 euros that last forever.

I don't like that the lid opens on the side and if the paper doesn't fit well, it gets stuck. Also, the spout comes out in a strange way when you want to wash it. Additionally, it is difficult to remove the lid from the pitcher, you have to turn it in a specific position

5 stars only for this very good French coffee maker!!!! I bought it for my wife as she loves French coffee. It is a well-known brand and has good quality construction, with the advantage of an iron pot instead of a glass one, resulting in the coffee staying hot and fresh for hours. It's worth its money!!!

Very fast coffee, good build quality, easy filling. Unfortunately, the coffee is tasteless and it takes a lot of coffee to get color. It saves a lot of electricity as it automatically turns off once it's empty and the thermos keeps the coffee warm for at least 2 hours, but it sacrifices the aroma of the coffee because it happens very quickly. On one hand, we have electricity savings, on the other hand, I put much more coffee than I used to, so there is no difference for me. I chose this one because in the previous one I broke the glass jug and when I saw that it costs half of my money, I was shocked. Eventually, after buying another jug, the coffee maker broke in a short time, even though it was relatively new, 2-2.5 years. Let's hope this one lasts longer.

Very good! I thought I wouldn't like the non-glass container, but if you want to keep your coffee warm, this is the solution

Very good for its price. It makes coffee very quickly, aromatic as it should be, and keeps it warm for over 5 hours.

I have had it for just one year. The coffee it made was quite good for the first 10 months or so, but suddenly it started to burn the coffee for some reason.
I cleaned the coffee maker, changed the brand of filters, and even the brand-variety-grind of coffee, but it still smells burnt. Unfortunately, I will have to throw it away as it is no longer drinkable.
I am very disappointed that its lifespan was only a few months, as €60 for a filter coffee maker is not cheap...
Maybe it just happened to me, though.

Very fast coffee, it retains the aroma and keeps the coffee hot for hours. Unfortunately, the coffee cannot be reheated on the base if you want to drink it after hours. The camera is very well constructed both internally and externally, although the base is made of plastic of mediocre quality. It releases normal steam towards the end and is relatively quiet. At maximum water capacity, it comfortably fills 4 large cups of coffee. Compared to glass carafe coffee makers that I have used, this is the first one where I can strongly perceive the aroma and it remains hot. It is worth the extra 20-30 euros compared to glass carafes.

This one and a Delonghi one ate my soul.
I don't even want to write anything more about this specific one

Purchased 05/19 for office use. Broke down 01/21 and was replaced 02/21 within warranty. Broke down again 10/21 with the same problem and we were informed by PHILIPS customer service that it is out of warranty. "The descaling should be done with white vinegar and not with a special descaling bag for coffee makers"... Whatever you want to understand!!

Until now, I had bought coffee makers with a glass carafe. The metal carafe is everything. Also, the lid of this specific carafe closes and keeps the aroma inside. Overall, this specific carafe keeps the coffee unchanged for a longer period without any loss of temperature or aroma, and without burning the coffee. This combination enhances the taste and aroma of the coffee.

Tragic coffee maker, it eliminates any taste and aroma. No matter what you put in, it only produces bitterness...
Try operating it without closing the coffee container (with the pot in place without the lid) and see how it sprays water... it's laughable. The old Moulinex (which has the flaw with the button since then) makes great coffee, I don't understand the reason for the existence of this one.
The coffee maker took a hit. Additionally, the handle of the pot leaks water during washing and doesn't go away when upside down and drained, resulting in water dripping from the handle when you put it back in place. The lid has a similar problem, it holds water when draining due to poor design.
I bought the Moulinex again, much cheaper, and the difference in the taste of the coffee is clear.
And with a smaller amount of coffee. That's it.

The plastic is cheap, a little difficult to serve the coffee, and stays hot for at most one hour. It is expensive for its quality.

Very good coffee maker! Good construction materials, beautiful design, and produces good coffee. It is important that it has a stainless steel thermos carafe. It keeps the coffee relatively warm for 3-4 hours. It doesn't break! The taste of the coffee that stays inside for so long is not altered too much. I have it since I was a student...! Since 2006. I came to write a review because since then I haven't had any problems, until this year, after 15 years, when I make coffee, it produces excessive steam. To make, for example, 2 cups of coffee, you have to put twice the amount of water... it also takes quite a while to prepare it... Of course, after 15 years of use, it is justified... Time to replace it with the same one! I highly recommend it!
