Very nice coffee, it doesn't have a burnt taste (it doesn't make crema) but for me, who only drinks it cold, it's just fine!!

...I will start with the "negative" inside the water compartment there is a layer like non-stick, I hope it is not and it is like that due to sandblasting... other than that I have no complaints everything is stainless steel I have used it about ten times I don't know about durability but it looks quality coffee don't expect to make like a professional machine nor expect a crema of course as you experiment you might get quality coffee a secret is to try to use boiled water this way it will be quicker but it won't have a burnt taste and it might make better overall coffee...
