Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Miallegro 1090 Coffee Maker 12-cup Automatic Drip
Customer Review: Stylish, reliable, no-frills coffeemaker
Summary: 5 Stars
Recently, my Black & Decker coffeemaker was on its last legs, and before buying a replacement I thought I'd do some research so I wouldn't have to buy another one for a long time. I have a Consumer Reports account so the first thing I did was check their coffeemaker ratings/reviews. Unfortunately, I came away more confused than when I arrived! So many brands, models, options, prices, and ratings. I just wanted a basic coffeemaker that would be reliable and make a great cup of coffee. No need for fancy bells and whistles; my only real requirement was an automatic shut-off feature.
Then I decided to look at what actual consumers thought about coffeemakers they owned. I liked what I read about the Miallegro 1090, and after narrowing down my choices to a handful of coffeemakers I ended up deciding to go with it.
This was my first experience with the brand and the company. I was pleased right away with the company--I placed the order on a Saturday, got free standard shipping, and received the order five days later. As luck would have it my B&D coffeemaker died the same day the Miallegro arrived, so I was very happy to see it!
I ran it once with plain water as instructed. If I had it to do over again I'd run a plain water cycle twice--the first pot of coffee had a bit of "new coffeemaker" taste, not bad enough to make it undrinkable, but I'd recommend running two plain water cycles just to be sure.
The coffee itself is great. It's taken a little experimenting to get the coffee-to-water ratio just right, but now that I have I'm very pleased.
One caveat: If you're expecting 12 cups like *I* was expecting 12 cups, you'll be disappointed! The first thing that struck me when I took the carafe out of the box was how SMALL it looked. I knew it couldn't possibly hold as much as my 12 cup B&D, and it doesn't. Turns out that 12 cups in the Miallegro is equivalent to 10 cups in the Black & Decker.
I absolutely LOVE that the carafe does not drip and/or spill all over the place. I can pour quickly and even a bit off center without spilling a drop.
I also appreciate the permanent filter that came with the unit. I always use permanent filters [no sense wasting paper!], so I would have bought one anyway but they saved me the bother.
All in all I'm very pleased with this coffeemaker and I'd definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a no-frills machine. It looks great and it makes a great pot of coffee!
