Wolfgang Puck WPTPCM010 12-Cup Programmable Coffeemaker with Stainless-Steel Thermal Carafe
Product Description
The attractive stainless steel double wall carafe will keep your coffee hot for up to 4 hours. Traditional glass carafe coffeemakers tend to scorch the coffee since the carafe sits on a hot plate for hours. This significantly affects the flavor of your coffee, and increases energy usage in your home. The stainless carafe can be used as a serving pitcher for any hot or cold beverage. With the blue backlight liquid crystal display you can easily adjust setting with the push of a button. Delay brew up to 24 hours, or select instant brew. Digital clock timer in 12 or 24 hour increments. Audible beep at the end of the brewing process, and countdown timer lets you know how long the coffee has been in the carafe. Simply carry the water tank directly to the sink and fill up to 12 cups. No messy spills to contend with. Activated charcoal is charcoal that has been treated with oxygen to open up millions of tiny pores between the carbon atoms. Activated charcoal is good at trapping other carbon-based impurities ("organic" chemicals), as well as things like chlorine, thus ensuring that the taste of your coffee in not affected by impurities in the water. Locking tab in coffee lid prevents dangerous spills. Once depressed the coffee freely flows from the spout without any drops or splatter. Eliminate the need for paper filters with the permanent cone filter included with your purchase. The cone filter, in conjunction with the spraying head ensure maximum flavor extraction from the ground coffee beans. Use the length of cord that you desire by placing the excess cord in the storage compartment. Also helpful when traveling or when keeping the coffeemaker in a cupboard.

Coffee Maker is a Dud
By J. Greer
I purchased this coffee maker for my nephew as a gift. It was on backorder, but I waited, because this was the specific coffeemaker that he wanted. I received the coffeemaker from Amazon on March 30, 2010 and gave it to him within a week of receiving it....Then the problems began.From day one, the coffeemaker was spewing coffee all over the counter, instead of into the carafe. He didn't want to involve me in the problems with the coffeemaker, so he called the Wolfgang Puck (WP) Customer Service...Big Mistake! Had he let me know, I could have shipped it back to Amazon, received my money and he could have purchased any other brand he wanted. However, it didn't work that way.After numerous attempts to "fix" the problem over the phone, the WP Company sent a pick-up order for the coffee maker and received it on May 3, 2010. Since that time, he has been repeatedly told he would have a new machine in "2 weeks".I became involved in July, when he was getting nowhere with the company. I requested a refund on July 19, and I was told it had to be approved by corporate headquarters. A week later, I was told the request was denied, because they still have the coffee pots... (Well, where are they?)!! I then asked for the name of a contact person at the corporate office and they refused to supply me with a name.Through lots of trials, errors, and frustration, I found a number. I called it and believe it or not, I finally made contact with a customer relations manager. I talked with her and I finally agreed to wait another "2 weeks". The time came and went and no coffee maker, so I called and she said the company had just received them and would be shipping his coffeemaker as the first shipment. And....as a thank-you, he would also receive a complimentary gift set of WP Kitchen knives. I waited until September 16 and ended up calling her again. The manager then checked and found out that the coffeemaker had NOT been shipped, because the coffeemakers were bent and damaged in the shipment.I received an email later that afternoon, stating that she has requested a refund for me. It's not here yet, but I have much hope that my money will be refunded.

A super sleeper. Buy this coffee maker. Revised
By M. Violet
Update: This note is being added about 6 months after my inital review. We too have experienced the problem with coffee overflowing on to the countertop. I very quickly learned that is after inserting the pot into the maker I pivot the pot so that the handle is as far left as possible, the spillage does not happen. This method has been successful for the past 200 pots made. It's a weird quirk that shouldn't be necessary, but I otherwise stand by my review.The best coffeemaker we have ever owned is a long since discontinued Starbucks Barista with a thermal carafe. It was close to perfection for almost 10 years. Even after some trim pieces fell off, it continued to be a reliable performer. After several years of regular use, the plate on the bottom of the carafe top began to break, one piece at a time. The Barista continued to make great coffee, it just didn't hold the temperature as well as it originally did.Earlier this year we despaired that we would have to go back to buying makers that work for a few months and then die. My wife, after hours of searching spotted this familiar face in the crowd. We ordered in December and it arrived today. To say it was worth the wait is an understatement. We now know that we have years of fresh, hot, reliable coffee making ahead of us. The only difference between this model and the original Starbucks is the it now uses a cone filter instead of a flat bottom. No big deal at all.Footnote: "Old Reliable" the Starbucks Barista worked right through this morning, its retirement day. It's not headed for the trash however, there spare parts to be salved for our beautiful new baby.When, (and if), this machine becomes available again, click 'n' buy. You won't regret it!

By chelle mcguire
Unfortunately we didn't read the reviews before ordering this coffee maker. We had it boxed and ready to ship back when I popped on to see if anyone else was having the flooding issue. That is when I discovered that EVERYONE was having the overflow issue. My brilliant husband Robert unpacked the coffee maker and promptly went out to his shop area and cut a disc the diameter of the bottom of the coffee carafe from a piece of 1/4" masonite. Problem solved!! The spring on the top of the carafe doesn't get depressed far enough to allow the coffee to flow into the pot properly. Putting that 1/4" spacer under the carafe is all it needed. We are happy, we love the way the coffee maker makes and keeps coffee. Robert also painted the disc black once he knew it was going to work. It looks like it belongs to the unit.
