BALMUDAThe Brew | Automatic Pour Over Coffee Maker | Clear Brewing Method | Precise Temperature Regulation | Three Brewing Modes: Regular, Strong, Iced | Compact Design | US Version

This is great for those who make coffee for 1 or 2. Simple and easy to use and clean.

I have to laugh at some of the comments in other reviews. "It's very expensive." I sold my $3500 automatic and bought this for $629. It makes a better cup of coffee, and I'm way happier with it. "It basically just pours water over coffee grounds." No, it does much more than that, go look at some youtube reviews about the technology. There isn't a drip machine out there that can make coffee this well, especially one that costs $50. I would have to ask what kind of coffee is that person drinking. "It makes coffee about the same as my french press." Duh, but that's completely manual. This might be the easiest way to get pour over or french press quality coffee. I love it. Sure, you can make only one 12oz coffee at a time, but that's the point. Every cup is freshly made. Definitely not for the person looking for a 12 cup drip machine. This is for the coffee lover that has been doing pour over but tired of standing there doing it. It makes a great cup each and every time.

In my search for the perfect coffee machine, i've been through several. Finally found this one which checks all the boxes. It's compact, simple, consistent, easy to operate, easy to clean and looks like an art piece on the kitchen counter. Before i purchased, I did see 1 video which had dramatic ticktock music and steam surging out and thought that was all marketing. After the easy plug an play, it was like a show. The orange light goes on, the ticktocking is really the machine, like it's talking to you. Then, the show continues as the steam really does surge, pause, surge... quite entertaining and feels suspenseful.If they made one that brewed 4 cups, I would have opted for that, but it's so easy, to brew, I can make 2 pots wwith ease. Highly recommendOverall, I couldn't be happier.

The coffee maker is beautiful but the carafe too small. I returned it nearly a month ago and still waiting on a refund. Purchasers should be aware of this issue before buying. You’ll most likely need to dispute the charge so keep documentation.

Have been using it for about a month now and it brews a perfect cup of coffee every time! It also has this background ‘noise’ that it makes as it brews which creates a nice soothing sound. I have used several other coffee machines and for a simple black coffee this exceeds my expectations.

I had read several glowing "professional" reviews regarding this product and was intrigued by the belief this would provide me with a better brew that my existing Moccamaster by Technivorm (KBGV Select 10-Cup Coffee Maker)--which I should point out is a fine coffeemaker. So I bought the Balmuda and gave it a try. First a couple things to note--unlike the Moccamaster it does not have heating element to keep brewed coffee warm for an extended period of time (therefore I bought a separate "hot plate" and used the Moccamaster glass carafe to warm the brewed coffee for an extended period of time). Next--the major issue I would alert potential buyers to has to do with filters. I could not find a paper filter that allowed the brewing water to rapidly sift through the coffee during the brewing process (there are only 5 filters included with the product when purchased). A major issue for me. Luckily I found on Amazon a metal, reusable filter (Kfomitial Upgraded Pour Over Coffee Filter, Coffee Dripper, Paperless Mesh Stainless Steel Coffee Filter, Reusable and Permanent Coffee Cone Dripper for Ovalware, Chemex and Other Carafes (Rose Gold) https://a.co/d/4Tjhsy0) and began using this instead of paper filters. This metal filter works very well for me and both eliminates the back up of brewing water and also still keeps the coffee grinds from entering the brewed coffee. With the foregoing in mind I will keep the product and continue to use it on a daily basis. The coffee does taste very good and after the foregoing tweaks I am good with the product--but not 5 stars good. The included product information is very light on details related to the filters. Balmuda could make things easier for customers in that regard.

We love this coffee pot - it not only makes delicious coffee every time, it is aesthetically beautiful and not bulky. I have recommended it to many of my friends already. We also like the fact that it makes delicious coffee without having to mess with whole beans. (You can, we prefer not to) The only downside I can see is that it may not work well for a large family. It makes 2 cups of coffee with each cycle. That said, the coffee is so easy to make, its essentially perfect coffee on demand, all day long, without having to make a huge pot. Highly recommend!
