Tru Automatic Pour Over Coffee Maker with Digital Controls - Auto Coffee Maker with Plastic Cone Dripper - Coffee Brewer for Household Use

This is my second one which I bought this one for my MIL. I have been a Keurig fan since they started but recently the coffee stated to have a bitter taste in those little cups. Not to mention the stomach issues that started to develop which I blamed on me getting older. Low and behold I bought my first one on clearance somewhere else. First off the coffee flavor is amazing, smooth and not bitter. After a coupled of days I noticed that my stomach issues were gone. Win/Win! The Keurig when in the trash, the k-cups we re donated to the shelter.

This is a nice little automated replacement for manual pouring water from a brew kettle so long as you can accept its limitations. The water is boilded right in the fill reservoir and starts dispensing when it reaches its expected temperature, drizzles put a pretty slow but turbulent rate and dispense in a circular motion back and forth whenever water is flowing through the unit. Boil times when brewing took between 1.5-3 mins on a cold day at close to sea level. There is nothing I can tell to avoid running the unit dry but since you have to fill it each time you brew its likely not an issue. While I'm not a huge fan of the touch interface or beeps, but its responsive and does make it clear what temp and function you've set and to know what's happening on the circular lights (rotating for heating up water or finishing circle to show a rough percent of brew progress). The unit allows 4 water temp settings of 190F, 195F, 200F, and 205F (or next closest similar Celcius rating) and does 2 functions: filter rinse (approx 40ml at 190F) and a set 3 pour brew (approx 207ml +/- 5ml total at the set temp according to my testing). While the manual states it delivers 35ml pour with 30 second bloom followed by a 125ml second pour, a 5 second break and a 95ml final pour, I consistently experienced 32.5ml, 103ml, and 77.1ml pours (+/-5 mls) when testing without a filter or coffee beans. I'm sure performance varies based on ambient temperature and pressure but could never get up to approx 255ml listed. Knowing the expected water output is reduced (test for yourself with a gram/ml scalen with your unit and location) it's easy to reduce your coffee volume to achieve the ratio of your liking but will in my opinion will always produce a pretty low volume brew accounting for coffee absorbtion. For typical coffee/water ratios of 1:15 to 1:17 I'd do much less than the 16g recommended in the manual. If you are brewing a basic dark roast this probably doesn't matter. to you. The unit comes with a plastic funnel brewer and class carafe. I was able to use my own #1 and #2 v60 brewers with a small coffee cup. Overall it's simple and consistent for what it does and its pricepoint makes up for limitations in my opinion and thus I recommend it if it fits in your needed params or if you just want to get into pour over coffe without much investment.

I love this machine, it makes a delicious cup of coffee! So far, very reliable, seems well made, I love how accurate I can dial in the temperature, does a perfect bloom cycle. I only wish TRU made a larger variant. It would beat the pants off many others in that 8-12 cup category IMHO.

This small pour over simulator makes an excellent 1 cup of coffee without pods. While many brewers make too much coffee, the 8-10 oz cup is just right for me. When buying filters, looking for ones ending at a point. Some filters are flat at the bottom and won’t fit properly

Works as advertised. Makes tasty pourovers. Well built, good quality brewer. No complaints.

Great everyday automatic pour over machine. Con: very small. it can only make enough for 1 cup of coffee. That’s ok for me bec i live alone but when I have guests over it’s a hassle to constantly refill the container & wait again for it to brew so we end up using the manual pour over set i also have so it kind of defeats the purpose of having an automatic pour over machine for “less hassle”

Love this product! It’s small but perfect for two people. A little quicker to make coffee with than our Hario pour over one which I also like, since this one is automatic. Easy to use, nice looking. Wish it had a glass drip cone but otherwise great. Replacement parts are available through the company as I emailed them to ask. CS responds quickly and love that they always add “have a blessed day.”

I was pleasantly surprised by how well this works. The coffee machine heats the water in a reservoir just like a kettle. This means that you can set the temperature. Unfortunately, the settings are 5 degrees apart so it's not super precise. One touch of the on off icon turns the machine on. Then you can touch the temperature setting button to cycle through all options or press the brew button to start the brew cycle. The brew cycle starts by blooming the coffee. After a pause it begins the brew cycle proper. It does not use a shower screen, but instead has a moving tap that dispenses the water in a circular motion. The tap always aims straight down so you don't get the true motion of a barista, but is surprisingly good. For the price, this is excellent.

Esta cafetera me garantiza repetibilidad sin preocuparme por la técnica de vertido. Solo me ocupo de probar con diferentes granulometrías de la molienda según el perfil de taza que busco, y la temperatura según nivel de tostado del grano. Excelente compra.
