Proctor Silex 10-Cup Smart Plug-Compatible Coffee Maker

I've been using a filter cup and filters, really easy to clean up and use, not very convenient to pour hot water into the filter cup every few minutes. Which is why I got this coffee maker. This product arrived on time and in great shape. Item is light and well made (so far no problems). The plastic feels cheap but it works and is cheap so..... Nice removable plastic basket, I use a basket filter that I used for the filter cup, there's a swivel spout that you move out of the way to remove the filter basket, if you forget to push the spout back over the filter basket then when you close the lid it's made in a way to push the spout over the coffee grounds. The carafe is glass and plastic. The hot plate works well. All in all it's even faster than my filter cup and nice and hot just not burning hot so if you want burning hot look elsewhere. It does take about 50% more coffee grounds to make the same amount I would use with the filter cup. I typically drink one large mug which is equivalent to this carafe, I've cut down my coffee to 1/2 - 3/4 of this carafe to make up the difference in the coffee usage. For the price the convenience is worth it and now I don't have to stand over my coffee filing up the filter cup every few minutes. Love it.

Bottom line...Fantastic value! Pro's: Up to 10 cups of coffee Versatile: Hot coffee/ice coffee/tea/hot coco/etc Standard size basket Paper filter (economical) " " purchase locally " " rinse & put in recycling " " no need to take apart Or use fine reusable mesh filter Lower cost than k cups, t disks, d donuts, s bucks etc No line to wait in Customize your coffee, flavor, style to brew (chocolate powder + coffee grounds = Mocha) Nice esthetic design Easy to operate Simple mechanism Use diluted vinegar & water to clean internally No need for harsh chemicals or "de-scail-er" Small footprint on your countertop real estate Affordable price $20 vs $200 for a Tassimo Yes, you can make different styles of coffees: regular, bold, espresso, latte, cappuccino, macchiato with it with a little help for the milk Sturdy but not heavy; well made Basket only fits one way so you can't use it if it isn't in correctly-potentially avoiding a spillover Love it so much I bought 2: "His" in black and "Hers" in white to make regular and flavored coffee at the same time. Cons: Limited colors available No automatic shut off Delicate spring=handle carafe with care when removing and returning to hotplate No froth for latte. Must do separately.

My setup: - Google assistant - This coffee maker - A smart outlet adapter - Google routines I set up two routines: - "Make the coffee," "turn on the coffee pot" - basically variations on what people in my house would say. It turns the power to the coffee maker on for 3 hours, announces "Good morning! The coffee is being made and will turn itself off in 3 hours. Enjoy your day!" and then starts playing the news. - "Turn off the coffee" (and variations) - turns off the power to the coffee maker off and announces "setting the coffee maker to boil." (yes, it's funny to us!) I also named the smart outlet "proctor silex" when setting it up, so I can address it directly by name and not have google misinterpret it for a "turn on" request. That way I can turn on/off with the routines or ask it "is proctor silex on?" My latest update to the routines leans on a new assistant feature that lets it do something when a device does something, such as turning on a fan when the light is turned on. Here, I added a routine so that when the smart outlet for the coffee turns on, Google will announce on all speakers that the coffee maker was turned on. Little bit of a safety backup in case a kid gets a little.... curious.

It's working as it should. I bought it because I had to replace the coffee maker I had, which was Alexa compatible. (This one is not.) I had to do it quickly because my other one was leaking. This one has a reasonable price. Unfortunately, I hadn't noticed that it doesn't have an automatic shut-off. I'm now having to put a timer on my phone so that I don't forget to shut it off. Well, that didn't work for me yesterday. I left the coffee maker on the entire day. I will purchase another one that has an automatic shut-off. If that function is not essential to you, you'll love this coffee maker.

If you’re looking for a simple, well designed, compact and inexpensive coffee maker this it it. No timers, grinders, settings or anything else (except for being smart plug compatible, which I don’t use.) Just fill the reservoir, add coffee and turn on. It makes good coffee and fairly quickly. The warming plate stays hot until you turn it off. The cord is about 22” long. It can also be tucked into the back of the machine. The reservoir has no volume markings but if you fill it from the carafe this doesn’t matter. Just about perfect.

Encantada con mi cafetera ya la tuve y me duró años, por eso la volví a comprar, y sobre todo porque el filtro de papel es aún mejor que el lavable

This machine works excellent with a timer added. Most makers work 2 hours and shut off. We use it for 3 hours every day.

Llego mucho más rápido de lo que se tenia programado, en buen estado la cafetera y la caja, solo que venía incompleta la canasta donde se ponen los filtros, sin la pieza de toma que impide que se vacíe el líquido cuando no esta la jarra, anexe una fotografía de como debería de estar de una cafetera anterior que tengo

It works and 10 cups is enough for most occasions. The carafe is not dripping when pouring coffee as long as there's are not more than 8 or 9 cups in it. The machine is very light and moves around when touched or the carafe is put in with to much force. The carafe moves in and out easily. All in all it is an ok machine but that is what the price reflects. The entire machine needed a thorough cleaning because it was dusty and looked almost used but it seems to have been from the way it was packaged because the first one has a broken hinge the replacement was just as dirty. I wanted a machine with a physical on/off switch all that I can use the smart plug and Alexa to start the coffee in the morning. I would buy it again if this one breaks any time after 3 years as that is what I expect as life span for it.
