| mg4cana's Full Review: Starbucks Starbucks Aroma Thermal Brewer |
We bought this unit thinking it would be the end-all for our search for the ultimate in a good coffee machine. Wrong!! It has ended up providing a mildly hot to luke warm cup of coffee each time it has been used. We like to keep our house cool at night so we thought that might be the reason we couldn't get hot coffee out of this thing. However, even heating up the caraffe before making the coffee has only helped a little. The advertised benefit of the caraffe keeping the coffee hot has definitely not worked for us either. The coffee flavour has been good but our issue is with the temperature. Also, this unit is cumbersome and hard to keep clean.
Finally, we complained to the Starbuck store where we bought it. The Manager there told us that they cannot take the item back once the item has been used. Our next step is to go through their customer service at the phone number provided. We feel strongly that this product's performance is very far from what is advertised by Starbucks. In the meantime, its back to our good old reliable Braun.
