Calphalon Drip Coffee Maker vs Salton Jumbo Java FC1667

Overall, it is a nice coffee pot, but you may find that hefty price is unwarranted. If you do not mind spending the money, it will look great on your counter and have that strong brewed cup ready for you when you wake up. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

Please note we only use UPS when shipping to the US: FC1667-4 (Carafe): $19.50 S&H: $12.00 (via UPS) Total: $31.50 That’s quite expensive in my opinion and the next part is even worse you have to mail them a check or a money order

We checked Consumer Reports for multi-cup makers and found Calphlon highly rated. Given price and CR's recommended rating, we chose it over other options. I've been using it for a couple months; and, overall, we are very pleased with it. The taste is excellent, even with store-bought ground coffee

Makes a big pot of scalding hot brew, strong but not bitter, and all the subtle notes perfectly discernible. Its basket, which forces coffee to pool and go through the sides after hot water fires out of a compact central shower seems to be the ticket. We added a paper filter to the basket to slow that even further, and the result is a cup to rival the 4 minute pour-through at your swankiest local shop! Yummy. Cheap

You guys my two cents just kind of based off my experience with it and let you know what i thought about it um. I should mention real quick too, that ...

So if you like your coffee black add more stars, and the lighter you like your coffee the less you will like this Salton coffee maker.

I love the delay brew feature so I can select a brew time in advance. I really enjoy the fact that I can also set the coffee strength to meet the needs of the day. The coffee maker has a nice look and seems to be slimmer than other coffee makers and does not take up as much counter space. [This review was collected as part of a promotion

Otherwise, we brew coffee, then shut it down. Let's be clear, this is a budget coffee maker. I would probably not use this for my home, but it can certainly be used in that application. It's a bare bones coffee make with basic functionality and cheap parts

Cooking the coffee on the hot plate ruins the taste of the coffee. For what it is worth I am a perfectionist coffee drinker, I use filtered tap water, and I grind my coffee beans. This is almost as good as using the Chemex coffee maker I own.

Coffee, which had an auto-shutoff and made good coffee. The clock was tricky to set, and the time was off by 17 minutes per day, which made the brew timer feature useless. This was especially annoying because the LEDs in the clock were blindingly bright, and never showed the correct time. But it was 'good enough' until a household accident killed it
