Comes with a wire mesh basket and instructions say you can't use filter papers with it. This is disappointing because it makes it difficult and time consuming to clean out, but you don't have the ongoing expense of papers. Still I would have prefered paper for easy clean up! Also the time on the clock needs to be set every single time, unless you leave the power on continually. Would be good if there was a battery backup to maintain the time when you turn the machine on again. Having said that the machine does work well and is easy to use.

I prefer American style drip coffee which is bad luck because I live Melbourne, the home of espresso, lattes and macchiatos. Everything except regular drip coffee.
The Sunbeam drip filter is an excellent machine and delivers exactly what I want. Operation is so easy. Its got a wire coffee basket instead of needing paper filters. You fill it with coffee, check the water and hit the switch. That's it.
Looks great in the kitchen with its modern stainless steel design. Very happy wit it.

Purchased it 3 years ago and still happy with it! I had more complicated coffee in the past and got sick of taking so long to make a few cups of coffee, especially when friends came around. But with this one I can make 10 cups of coffee so quickly and easily. The glass jug sits on a hot plate which keeps the coffee hot for 2 hours which is awesome! Easy to use and easy to clean!

Previously had one of these that I bought in 2012, it lasted until last year after daily use, before the lights went out on the buttons and made it tricky to set up the timer system. This is a cheap and reliable way to have a freshly brewed cup of coffee every morning. You can set it the night before to brew at a particular time in the morning.

Over time the pipes can get blocked by mineral deposits, but running vinegar through a cycle every year or two clears that up.

Purchased this coffee machine just a few months ago and used it daily until it, unfortunately, stopped working last week. Turned out the heating element was defective. Retailer happily replaced the unit though (machine has a 1 year guarantee), so we are now back to enjoying the coffee it produces. Makes a pretty decent cup of coffee, although the plastic filter does not work as well as a paper filter. The machine is pretty much no frills, keeps the coffee warm for about an hour or two, and is easy to clean. Can recommend this - at its current price point of about $50-$60 this is a very decent coffee machine.

Not a bad machine. It is simple to use and gets the job done. Obviously more expensive machines will do a better job but the only real complaint would be the machine only heats the coffee for two hours and then goes cold. Would have been better if it kept the pot hot for a few more hours.

Happy with the taste of th coffee it produces. Incredibly simple to use. Keeps coffee on the burner warm. Cleaning process is quite easy as it just opens at the top allowing you to easily pop out everything that needs cleaning. Only nitpick is that the coffee isn't as hot as other coffee machines.

We really enjoyed our machine with coffee, Coffee tasted excellent. It's very easy to clean and looks good in our kitchen.but were disappointed this Sunbeam product lasted less than 2 years. Coffee tasted excellent. On the other hand, Harvey Norman had it on sale for just $46, so again we got one. Hope this one lasts longer.

This is my second coffee maker. Unfortunately they seem to have a short life span but I will be buying another one if I can find it. To me it makes the kind of coffee the way I like it and can be programmed. I am not attuned to pods or any of the new fangled espresso machines and they are more of a problem to keep clean. The only other way is the French Press or we know it as a plunger. This latest one failed because water got into the wrong area and burnt out I guess.

Love this machine!
It gets used daily in our house.
Especially my shift working husband. He will set the timer on it and have it ready to go just before he leaves for work in the middle of the night.
So easy to use!
The taste is great. Pair it with a milk frother and it tastes just like coffee shop coffee!
We had an issue with the pot and called sunbeam and their customer service was fantastic!

This machine looks good, easy to clean, but fails in delivering a hot cup of coffee, also coffee comes out weak, even if you use more coffee, i have had it for 2 days and looking for another overseas, as i found there are only 2 brands all up
NOT RECOMMENDED.

This machine looks great. Makes a good cup depending on your coffee tastes. Easy and simple to use. Easy to program. No complaints. Durable functional and sleek. Makes a pot really quickly. Great to wake up in the morning to the smell of fresh brewed coffee. Compares well to the breville as my friend has one.

After years of faithful daily service my previous sunbeam broke so I replaced it with this. Can't use filter papers, superbright clock, auto setting flashes all night. There wasn't even a mesh basket in the box! I'll try the Breville or Gumtree. I Hope Sunbeam designers read this. Not happy...

This is my second Sunbeam drip filter coffee maker in this series. I was disappointed to find out when shopping for a new coffee machine that drip filters are being discontinued. This particular model makes coffee just how I like it. It looks good and is easy to clean. The only downsides with my new machine are that it is rather noisy while the coffee is brewing and the light behind the clock is too bright. Other than that, I would highly recommend it to anyone who likes drip filter coffee.

I love this thing! You can set a timer so that your coffee is hot and brewed when you wake up, but I just make it every morning, it only takes a few minutes. Coffee tastes great and the pot stays warm for 2 hours which is super convenient. I also find it easy to clean. Still going strong after 12 months solid use

Only had my machine a couple of months and the spring fell out of the outer filter basket holder and can't get it to stay in. Does anyone know where I can purchase a new holder? Really miss the smell of the fresh coffee in the morning so want to replace part
