Starbucks Starbucks Aroma Thermal Brewer

Pros: Too many to mention
Cons: $150.00 cost

My other half loves coffee and I do mean loves it. It is everything to the beginning of his morning. It isn’t just the type of coffee but it is the way he grinds the beans to the way he brews it. I was never a serious coffee drinker until we moved in t ...

Pros: Starbucks Quality, Starbucks taste.
Cons: None.

In our quest to find the coffee machine to fit our needs, we came across a new concept in coffee making and brewing. The concept of not needing to burn your coffee in a glass carafe with an electric hot pad seemed very appealing. It was actually my...

Pros: Good, very hot, cafe quality coffee, see thru water tank level indicator
Cons: Finicky filter, feet that won't stay on, thermos lid difficult to remove

Starbucks and Martha Stewart Omnimedia are two companies with which I have love/hate relationships. Their omnipresence to suburban shoppers gets really annoying, but they really do produce good products on the whole. One exception might be Starbucks'...

Pros: delicious hot coffee, thermal carafe works wonders, easy to use
Cons: for the price, battery backup for the clock/timer would be nice

I am a coffee fiend.

I have the espresso machine (reviewed as well), the grinder, the stainless steel bean storage containers, the faucet-mount water filter, and all the right coffee-related accessories. And now I have the perfect drip...

Pros: Nice look, easy to use, can pour coffee while brewing
Cons: Does not keep coffee hot long.

When you start the morning with a 19 month old boy and a new one on the way soon, a kickstart to the morning is always in order! I can think of no better way to deliver it than with my Starbucks Aroma Brewer. Now, as a former store manager for...

Pros: Hot, hot coffee -- Relatively fast brewing -- removable water tank.
Cons: Unfortunate button design, bright white matte finish stains.

I purchased Starbuck's thermal carafe Barista Aroma after quite a bit of online and mall research. I had set a price limit of $200, which took out any industrial or near-industrial models. Who really needs that anyway?

Pros: Thermal carafe, programmable, ease of use, removable tank
Cons: Hard to clean, graphics wearing out

I've had my coffee maker for almost 2 years, about when it was first introduced. Since then, I've used it practically every day. Last year, I went through more than 3, 100-filter boxes. This machine has stood up to the test with flying colors. Here's...

Pros: easy to program, sleek, keeps coffee hot, delicious brew
Cons: a little tough to clean the carafe (small opening)

It’s 1:21 AM and the coffee is steaming and hearty. For dedicated java lovers, this is the end-all to your drip coffee needs. True it comes at a hefty price tag, ($149 retail, occasionally on sale for $119 or so), but it’s well worth it. The primary boon...

Pros: No burner to scorch your coffee, removable water reservoir, and just plain good looks.
Cons: After three years, I can't find a single one.

I have used my Aroma at least once a day now for the past three years. I purchased this machine for around $90, and it was worth every penny. I have found one trick to making the coffee stay hot for five hours like they tell you it will in the stores. ...

Pros: You'll never break the carafe
Cons: Coffee is not hot enough

My husband brought this coffee pot home one day. I think he was impressed with the appearance and he is one who likes to sip from the pot all day. The carafe on this coffeepot has a feature that keeps the coffee warm for a long time. But that's the proble ...

Pros: Stylish, efficient, and consistent. A good machine.
Cons: Small buttons, awkward tank-removal, and expensive.

The way that it doesn't keep cooking the brewed coffee on a burner is great. The coffee never tastes burned. And really -- the carafe keeps the coffee warm for quite a long while. If I pour a cup when I come home from the office, the coffee will still be ...

Pros: Nice design; thermal carafe a plus.
Cons: Big overflow risk; occasional filter flop-over.

In my ongoing quest to become a homebody, I decided one day to bring Starbucks home. I bought a Starbucks Aroma Thermal Brewer, and thought, "I'm going to be my very own BARISTA!".

Ooh boy, no thanks. I'll be returning to the everlasting...

Pros: Removable water tank and filter basket. Well-designed and sized carafe. Easy to open/close carafe lid.
Cons: Tall unit makes for difficult under the cabinet storage. Power cord too short.

I must say I've seen many thermal coffee makers out in the market lately but none has come close to the features that I was looking for than this Starbucks Aroma Thermal Brewer.

One of the features that I liked so much is the well thought-out...

Pros: non-breakable thermos carafe, removable water reservoir, timer tells when coffee was brewed
Cons: PRICE!

I woke up the other morning and found the glass carafe for my Krups coffee maker was cracked. I've tried replacing these carafes before, and it's nearly impossible. So, time for a new coffee maker. We walked across the street to our favorite coffee ...

Pros: programmable, removable water tank
Cons: tall in size

what a brilliant idea... brew coffee into a container that will keep it hot, but won't burn it. most coffee makers have a hot plate under the carafe. this one doesn't. the carafe is a thermos which keeps it hot. so long in fact that one time i set it...
