Bad Smell

 

Have used several different Gevalia coffeemakers. Broke the glass pot for most recent maker and tried to replace it but couldn't as the pot is not being made any more. Was offered a new pot, CM500, for 29.95. It arrived. I followed all instructions, as...

Not the best but it's free

 

Like everyone else I got this coffee maker as a promotional offer. My other coffee maker was on it's last legs so I jumped at a free coffee maker. Now a year later this one has given out-but who can complain-it was free. Though some warning of it's...

It's free, nice looking, auto brew, and best of all automatic turn off

Relatively speaking, it didn't last long

Gevalia CM-500 = FIRE HAZARD

 

The heating element relay in my Gevalia CM-500 was underrated at 10 ampere contacts, and it smoked, then flamed after about 100 pots brewed. I would not recommend this unit to anyone for this reason, as well as the tiny water-fill opening, the iffy...

Pretty to look at

Made in CHINA Sold by Gevalia- $10 WITH pound of coffee, scarily cheap machine

Gevalia CM-500 12-Cup (12-pot) Coffee Maker: 12 pots is all it ever made!

 

In 2004 I purchased a Gevalia 8-cup coffee maker that made the best coffee I have ever had. It brewed coffee into a thermal carafe and had no heating element to "burn" the coffee; the carafe would keep it hot and fresh for up to four or more hours....

Makes 12 cups of coffee and its programmable

Cheap control buttons, stopped working after 12 pots

A decent coffeemaker at a great price (free)

 

When my 10-year-old coffeemaker died, I sent in the Gevalia card. Since it was free, my expectations were low, but I have been surprised. We make coffee every single morning, and it has held up well for many many months and still looks great. The timer...

Price (free), brews well, timer feature, attractive

Not easy to fill, cup indicator not reliable

Glad it was free.

 

I needed a new coffeepot and considering my husband and I LOVE coffee, I thought it would be nice to have a decent coffeemaker. I am not so impressed. The machine LOOKS nice but when you get up close, you can see how cheaply it is made. It makes a lot...

Free. Looks stylish

Noisy, cheaply made and difficult to fill

If it ain't free, don't buy it

 

So my wife recently received an offer in the mail that we really couldn't refuse; try some Gevalia coffee and get a free 12-cup programmable coffee maker. We were very happy with our Bunn Stainless Steel carafe coffee maker that we had bought a little...

12-cup capacity and brews a pretty good cup of coffee

Gevalia CM-500 12-Cup Stainless Steel Coffee Maker ~ Eh.

 

When our piece of crap did me the favor of dying so I could toss it, the first thing I did was send in the little card to Gevalia for the special deal where you get this free 12-Cup Stainless Steel Coffee Maker (CM-500W) for trying their coffee. Not...

Gorgeous machine

flimsy buttons
