The best "keep warm" I've ever had on a machine!!

✨Paderno 12-Cup Coffee Maker✨

Thank you to @thisisbutterly and @padernokitchenware for sending me this coffee maker for free in exchange for my honest review. This is a solid choice for anyone in the market for a new machine.

I love that you can choose between a regular brew or a bolder taste, even when you're programming the machine with a timer, truly customizing your morning cup of coffee. I did find setting the timer a little difficult, this will definitely be a “consult the manual” for your first couple of times. I love the fact that it has a reusable built in filter!

The design of this machine is super sleek and it all fits really nicely in my kitchen where I’m pressed for precious counter space. Brew up to 12 cups or as little as 2 cups (perfect for a large mug). The keep warm function is fantastic. I know most machines have this but it truly does keep the coffee piping hot. I add more than a splash of creamer to my coffee and I find that it doesn't affect the temperature of the "keep warm" coffee like other machines.

The biggest downside I experienced is how precise you need to be with filling the water reservoir. If you set the machine for 2-4 cups but fill the reservoir to 6 (because who else has an issue eyeballing that line when you’re exhausted at 7AM?), it’ll just empty the entire thing in the brewing process, which makes the 2-4 function ineffective. Any water you refill will dispense while the machine is on the keep warm function. Not a huge issue unless you make a full pot of coffee and then try to be proactive and immediately fill up the reservoir for the next morning… ask me how I know. I should’ve paused the machine and had a mid-brew cup (because yes, this is possible!) before trying to be eager for the next morning, oops.

Overall, this is a lovely coffee machine that brews an exceptional carafe full of coffee (or just a single cup) as long as you use it exactly as intended and are precise with how you’re using it. Not sure if we’ll switch back to our old machine just yet as I’ve been loving the extra counter space and really, really love the excellent 2 hour warm function.

A Great Coffee Maker Upgrade

I received the PADERNO 12-cup Coffee Maker complimentary from thisisbutterly , Paderno Kitchenware & Canadian Tire in exchange for my honest review.
The coffee maker itself is lightweight which was surprising as I was unpacking it and deciding its new home in our kitchen. Its clean, sleek look with the ‘secret until lit’ digital screen makes it a welcome addition to our kitchen décor. The removable water reservoir is easy to fill and I love that it is housed in the back to keep it out of sight. It also has a built-in filter that eliminates the need for disposal filters which is good for both the environment and my wallet. lt’s ability to brew a small batch of 2-4 cups or all the way up to 12 for a larger crowd makes it extremely versatile and I was very impressed with the ease of programming using the dynamic control dial and the brew strength options that allow you to adjust the taste so you can get it just the way you like it. It consistently brews great coffee quickly, the ergonomic handle makes pouring effortless and the keep warm setting is a game changer for maintaining its temperature for up to 2 hours after brewing.
If you are looking for a sharp looking coffee maker to upgrade your brewing this one is for you.
