Starbucks Starbucks Aroma Thermal Brewer

Pros: It does make decent coffee. Removable tank is a plus, but common.
Cons: Price, reliability, height.

We got this after our old Black & Decker thermal carafe coffee maker started to make a bit of noise (from the old analog clock) and look dingy... after about 18 years of reliable service. The Barista Aroma is overly complex, and was doomed to failure ...

Pros: It does make hot coffee, and the carafe keeps it warm for a few hours.
Cons: Messy, difficult to clean, small carafe, and not the coffee doesn't taste that great either.

After having read a few reviews about this coffee maker I decided to get one. I was extremely disapointed. As someone else mentioned, the white model stains badly with normal use. I should have taken that comment a little more seriously. The inside...

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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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: Great looking
Cons: Doesn't keep the coffee hot

Just returned mine--it was such a disappointment! I read the instructions cover to cover. I tried the suggestions in the troubleshooting section under "Coffee is not hot enough," including pre-heating the carafe (which completely negates the...

Pros: The coffee stays warm in the carafe for hours.
Cons: It brews the most bitter cup of coffee ever!

We purchased this machine with much anticipation, as we exclusively use Starbucks coffee at home, and grind it ourselves. Our first batches were terrible, and so we repeatedly "seasoned" the machine according to the instructions. We tried the machine...

Pros: Looks great in my newly designed kitchen with stainless steel appliances.
Cons: Doesn't make the coffee as hot as claimed. Doesn't stay hot long enough.

After reading the reviews of others on this website, I bought the Barista Aroma Thermal coffee maker from Starbucks. I felt lucky because I got it on sale for $90. I wish I had returned it right away but I didn't. It doesn't make such piping hot...

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...
