Customer Reviews of CafeSolo Coffee Maker

This is your machine for smoothe black coffee
Not only does the Cafe Solo look cool, but it makes a great cup of coffee (or two). <
> <
>It is EXTREMELY easy to use and it does save you time when you need a cup of coffee quickly. The hardest part of making coffee in the Cafe Solo is waiting for the water to boil, via the old stove top, microwave or old drip coffee pot thingy. <
> <
>I add five tablespoons of coffee and fill the carafe to just below the neck, stir, wait a few minutes (four minutes go by quick when you are busy with your morning routine), no need to watch as the sleeve keeps the coffee warm for up to a half hour anyway. The sleeve looks and feels like a wet suit. <
> <
>The end product is a smoothe cup of coffe that stays nice and warm for that second cup. <
> <
>I have forgotten to put the sleeve on once or twice and managed to get it on with a full carafe of hot coffee without burning my hands. You just hold the flask by the neck, which should not hold any coffee anyway and slip the sleeve over the butt of it. From one side to the other, then zip it right up. Viola! No problem. <
> <
> <
>Considering the ease of use and the after product it's worth the money. It makes Starbucks taste really good. Imagine what it could do for gourmet coffee! <
> <
>It makes a great gift for a coffee lover.

Remember that story, The Emperor's New Clothes? This is it.
This is the most over-hyped product I've purchased in recent memory. I bought after reading about the design awards and the glowing review left by someone else on this site. <
> <
>First of all, look at the picture. Essentially you're paying for a glass carafe. The glass gets hot when you pour boiling water into it. Unless you always keep it in the protective warming sheath, it will burn your hands if you pick it up. <
> <
>The instructions tell you to put 45-60 grams of coffee for a full carafe. (There's actually no measuring line on the carafe, you're just left with the vague instruction not to fill it past the base of the neck). Now I don't have possess a drug scale, so have no idea of what 45-60 grams of ground coffee means. Using the internet, I kind of roughly estimate that a tablespoon of ground coffee weighes about 5 grams, so it's about 10 tablespoons per liter. <
> <
>You stir the coffee for 10 seconds then wait for 4 minutes. Again, think about this. You can buy a kitchen timer I suppose, or just sit there looking at your watch for 4 minutes. <
> <
>The filter is attached to the stopper, so the grinds are largely prevented from escaping the carafe when you pour. That works okay. You're instructed not to pour to the last drop, but to leave a little bit at the bottom so the grounds don't escape. So after you're done with the coffee, you have this glass carafe with the sludgy ground coffee in it. No real way to get that out without washing with water, getting your sink full of coffee grinds (bad idea). <
> <
>The carafe looks stylish enough in it's little black tuxedo pouch, and the coffee it makes isn't bad, but in practice this is an extremely inconvenient coffeemaker. <
> <
>If you have your heart set on spending too much money on a glass carafe style coffee maker, I'd recommend considering a Chemex Filter Drip Coffeemaker. It won't burn your hands (it has a wooden grip to prevent that) and uses standard paper filters for easy cleanup of the grounds. <
> <
>Don't be fooled by the design awards, the CafeSolo might look cool but is lousy in practice. <
