John Marus –
This coffee maker brews very quickly and allows for you to control the strength of the coffee. Great design. Now most people may not ant to spend this much on a coffee maker but at this stage of my life, Why Not!
susan –
Bases coffee amount on the amount of water and tells you exact amount to add. No burnt coffee tast as is stored in a thermos.
ME –
knowing that it brews coffee high techly… extremely worth the buy.
mark becket –
AWESOME UNIT !!!! NO COMPARISONS ON THE MARKET !!!!
Forrest Gump –
I dislike how the stainless steel pot hold’s coffee at the top and when you go to pour your coffee into your mug, coffee spills. The flavor of coffee is totally contingent on the brand of coffees you purchase. I would not recommend using brand names like Maxwell house or Folgers to brew in this machine. It would be a waist of money because those coffee brands are not going to taste any better using the Wolfe machine.
Garth Bair –
Does not keep the brewed coffee hot for an appropriate period of time…otherwise an excellent product.
Ed Glasser –
I really wanted to like this machine. It made a great cup of coffee but if you didn’t drink it immediately it was no good. I ignored the reviews about the temperature and shouldn’t have. A hot cup of coffee is something pretty basic you presuppose out of a coffee maker, but this machine failed to deliver. I returned it after three weeks. You would expect more out of Wolf.
Alexander Houtman –
Automatic flavor control and built in scale keep coffee pretty consistent pot to pot. Water filter is a big bonus, especially with our water. Carafe does an excellent job of keep coffee hot without getting too burnt tasting. Built in scale also helps prevent boneheads like me from creating a disaster. I set the timer to brew in the morning for work, forgot to put the pot back under after washing. It filled the filter, but did not overflow. As soon as I got downstairs and realized my mistake I put the pot under and it released all the coffee in the basket and then continued brewing as if nothing happened. That feature alone makes it worth every penny in my book. What a mess that would have made to have 10 cups worth of coffee all over the counter and floor in a cheaper/other coffee maker.
Giovanna E. –
Coffee pot is not user friendly. Booklet doesn’t explain things like how to make the temp of coffee hotter. Carafe only keeps coffee hot for one hour. I have other Wolfe products and they are amazing. The coffee pot doesn’t measure up and is certainly not worth almost five hundred dollars.
Vera Electra –
This coffeemaker is as advertised with lots of positivesThe flat spots were not expected and wish I were aware of in advance. Not necessarily deal breakers, but still good to know.Carafe – requires awkward 90 degree tilt to dispense coffee. At a bit over 5 pounds when full, it feels heavy. The smooth handle could be angled for leverage to help. Regardless, Petite wife won’t use it unless necessary.Shower head is not easily accessible for cleaning. Eventually coffee particles from the basket will adhere to the shower head and affect coffee flavor.
GED Professor –
Great cops o’ Joe.
John John –
Great tasting coffee. Recommend pouring hot water into thermos for a minute or two to keep coffee hotter longer…about 1 hour. Worth the price. We splurged!!
michelle woods –
I really wanted to love this. I own everything subzero and wolf and I’ve been using this for about four months and just don’t like it. My toaster is wolf so I thought can’t go wrong. Very disappointing wish I could return it
Javad Kashefi –
We liiked at several coffee maker which we did not like because the cofee did not tate well. However, Wolf coffe make give us what we wanted a good tate of coffee and ease of using the coffee machine.
Christine –
The name recognition of WOLF and overall expectation of high quality from WOLF products attracted me to purchase this carafe-style coffeemaker even though the price was steep. So imagine my surprise when this sleek-looking sophisticated coffeemaker turned out to be a total and complete DUD. The carafe design is the stupidest thing I have ever encountered. You cannot pour a cup of coffee without it dribbling and leaking coffee all over the counter. The fancy ‘double-walled’ carafe keeps the original ‘semi-warm’ coffee it brewed sort of semi-warm for about 20 minutes. Then it gets too cold to drink. But wait, it gets better. The shelf that holds the cheap plastic coffee ground basket does not pull out far enough to remove the basket without having to pinch the basket together and risk breaking it – REALLY, TRULY. Whoever designed this thing NEVER tried to brew coffee in it. I have long dreamed of upgrading to a WOLF range and a SUB-ZERO fridge. After this ridiculous coffeepot experience, I wouldn’t touch a WOLF product with a ten foot pole. Never again.
Jeffrey Sweet –
I bought this because I already had the Wolf Gourmet Toaster, which I love. I figured the coffee maker would be the same quality and it was. Simple to use and sturdy made. Some might not like the fact that it uses an insulated decanter to keep the coffee warm, instead of the hot plate system, but works fine for me. Keeps the coffee warm for a few hours.
Amanda Birch –
We have a kitchen full of WOLF appliances and I love most of them. I am really disappointed in the carafe part of this coffee maker and would have expected a lot more for the price. The carafe rim leaks and makes a mess each time I pour. I have searched for a replacement carafe and even the Wolf website says they are out of stock and they can email me when in. Do not waste your money on this Wolf product!
Kit –
As a home roaster of my coffee beans, I’m extremely particular about brewing my coffee. I have always used the Technivorm, a great coffee brewer, and switched over to the Wolf machine when my last Technivorm died. The Wolf makes superlative coffee. The two complaints that I read on-line (the water chamber could leak and the coffee poured slowly from the carafe) proved not to be true with my model. There has been no leakage and the coffee pours out of the carafe at a respectable rate of flow. Yes, it is expensive but this is a machine built to last.
robert woodwardrobert woodward –
We’ve only had it for a short time, but its high quality, and great tasting coffee.

These items are purely statement pieces, and not value items. If you have a high end home, you really shouldn’t want anything less in your kitchen.
Carolyn Odom –
I like everything about it! Has great features that I’ve never seen on a coffee maker before. Now I’m spoiled!
Joe –
I spent $100 approximately for a Ninja coffee maker 18 months ago, it was a decent coffee maker but had to pull it out from under the cabinet each morning to make a pot…had issues with the cleaning light and finally it stopped working….I threw it out and started researching online and came across this Wolf Stainless Steel coffee maker for $499. My wife loves her coffee as I do and we have it every morning so I decided to spend the extra for something we use on a daily basis. It is very easy to use, don’t need to pull it out from under the cabinet because the water reservoir simply pulls out from the left side, the coffee basket drawer opens from the front….very easy. It has a manual and accusmart setting for coffee which is nice…..it brews quickly and keeps the coffee nice and hot in the insulated decanter…..no complaints here, just a good cup each day.

Replaced an old Cuisinart coffee maker with the Wolf. The Wolf produces far better coffee than the Cuisinart.Pro:- great coffee, cleaner taste, more aromatic- no steam output from the top making it safe under cabinets- easy access to the water tank and the coffee filter- simple controls- heavy duty – almost 10 pounds- coffee stays hot if you preheat the stainless carafe with hot water- 5 year warranty- FAST brew time – 6-7 minutes- Quiet brewCon:- price – I paid about $420 for the Wolf on sale with points. That is still a bargain compared to high end espresso makers that can top $5k. Thankfully, I’m not an espresso guy.I like this machine. It works well, fits my kitchen counter perfectly, no top steam release that can delaminate of discolor upper cabinets, very quiet (see video), is simple to use and clean and brews quickly, like 7 minutes. Hope that helps!
Dreamville –
The machine is rich in commercial appearance. Love the signature red knobs and high quality stainless. Machine makes great coffee. I wish the brewing temperature was hotter. The carafe keeps coffee warm for about 45 minutes. Here’s the bad news….. the carafe is a disappointment. It doesn’t keep coffee warm long enough. The lid doesn’t pour easily and makes a mess while pouring coffee. I understand where the carafe lid needs to be for proper pouring but if someone doesn’t, it’s complicated. Maybe a colored arrow on the carafe lid? I love Wolf quality so I’m just a bit surprised.
Takela –
I am not exaggerating. I can’t tell you the money I’ve spent on French presses, Cuisinart, percolators, you name it I’ve bought it. Don’t get me wrong, I love a good cup of French press or percolated coffee but if you’re talking about volume it becomes a complete pain in the butt. Cuisinart makes an OK cup of coffee but I have returned two pots and thrown out three. This is a very expensive coffee pot but given what I have put into trying to find it I actually think it might actually be a bargain. I’ve had it for three months. I did not want to review it right away. Believe me, if it craps out in the next month I will let you know.
Kevin Wentworth –
Wolf products are expensive but each one I’ve purchased has been top quality and worth the money. This coffee maker brews a great cup of coffee.
K. Shuster –
We really like this coffee maker and it’s very attractive and well made. It matches our stove so that’s a plus! If I had one complaint, it would be that they should figure out a different way to pour the coffee because it’s kind of annoying to take the lid off of the pot every time. Other than that, the coffee tastes great and stays hot. We’re happy!
CM –
Wolf coffee maker is great and makes tasty, hot coffee. The removable water reservoir, front loading coffee filter, metal carafe, and compact size of the entire machine are the features that I was looking for. The coffee is delicious but this machine doesn’t have any substantial extra features or function that match the expensive price. There are other coffee makers with similar features that are half the price or less than the Wolf. I’d recommend finding an alternative machine than this coffee maker if you are looking for anything besides the same function as a basic coffee maker.
CA ICU –
This machine weighs the beans to match the desired cups and the selected strength you desire. Great tasting coffee in a heat retaining pot.
Amy Wade Bolen –
There’s not heating element under the carafe there the coffee doesn’t stay hot very long at all 😩. For the price it should stay hot longer, very disappointed
Paul –
We really like our new coffee maker. It is very easy to use. Brews the coffee quickly and despite what other reviews say about the temperature of the brewed coffee, it comes out HOT. The carafe will keep it quite warm for about 2 hrs, after brewing it. The only issue I noticed is the barely audible beep that lets you know when the coffee is done brewing. It is very weak and unless you are very close to the coffee maker when it is done brewing, you won’t hear it. Otherwise this is a great coffee maker and we would definitely recommend taking a look at it.
dkk128 –
I actually haven’t use the coffee maker yet as I do not drink coffee, lol. I like the way it looks the kitchen counter . Great quality and makes a statement .
NanciT –
Love this coffee pot, makes great coffee. After having terrible experiences with Cuisinart Grind and Brew THREE times….I gave up.Not only does this look great, quick brew coffee is the best I have had from a coffee maker
Tim Elliott –
We loved the operation and flavor of this coffee maker. The ability to repeat the flavor over and over was fantastic. And with the scale used to measure the correct amount of coffee, another a great feature. BUT…the carafe is the weak link with this “coffee system”. After the second cup is poured and less coffee is in the carafe, you cannot pour another cup without coffee trickling down the side of the spout and all over the counter. If the WOLF engineers had just spent a few more hours on designing the spout of the carafe better, this would be a perfect “coffee system”. Buyer beware…it will make a great cup of coffee, but part of that third and fourth cup is going to end up on the counter.
MJS –
This is a pricey appliance. It is not cheap, and there are cheap options that make coffee too. But, this is amazing. I chose it because water is added from the side, and coffee in a drawer. There for the coffee maker can live in an appliance garage, or under a counter and not have to be moved to use it. The acubrew feature is great. You pick BOLD or MILD, dial in how many cups you want and it scale in the drawer tells you when you have added the proper grounds. It works really well. Finally, the insulated carafe keeps the coffee drinkable hot for over ninety minutes. It does not have a hot plate, so you are not cooking your coffee. This is a great product, though the price is steep.
M TSE –
Ok so I had to convince my wife on this one. She couldn’t fathom spending 600 smacks on a coffee pot. First off, the coffee does taste better. I even did a ‘blind’ test with my wife. Our old coffee maker (79.00) vs the Wolf. She said the Wolf had the much better taste. And I’ll admit, I have found myself caring for this coffee machine more than I ever had. So if you are on the market and want a stylish coffee pot, I recommend this one.
Tanya W. –
After 10 Cuisinart coffee makers failing in exactly the same way (water starts leaking out the bottom), I figured the Wolf was really not more expensive if I didn’t have to replace it every 6-8 months.So far we are very happy. It’s faster, quieter, and we appreciate the insulated carafe. I have broken a couple of the Cuisanart glass carafes, but as often as they failed, I had a lot of spare parts, so that wasn’t TOO big a problem.It has the right amount of programmability in it and it’s not too complicated to use. If I have to replace it anytime soon, I will come back and adjust my review, but I am not expecting that to happen.It also matches my range and is aesthetically pleasing on the countertop. Bonus!
AW –
The accu-brew feature to make sure you have the precise amount of grounds per cup/brew strength is a game changer. This thing makes an incredible pot of coffee and is by far the best coffee maker I’ve ever owned.
Customer –
Looks and works great. I was a little concerned when I ordered it that it might be too complicated to use as I am not very savvy with complicated gizmos. This is very easy to use and I love that I can easily make adjustments to my coffee and have the same great coffee everyday. I also love the way it looks. The only negative comment I have is the design of the coffee pot makes it very difficult to get the last ounce or two out of the pot. Still would repurchase it even knowing this fact.
SuzieT –
Coffee taste is determined by the type of bean, roast, and personal preference. Our Mr. Coffee does as well brewing coffee, for 1/4 the price.This coffee maker is beautiful, as all Wolf products, but not worth the price.
B. WolfB. Wolf –
We bought a house with an existing Wolf Red Knob Range, so we decided to match it with small appliances from Wolf, including this coffee maker. I thought it might be complicated, but it was a breeze to set-up. No issues on the first uses and I really like a few of the features, like the removable water reservoir. We will typically keep it in the countertop garage, but if you want to show it off on your countertop, it is a very good-looking kitchen appliance.
Andrea –
We are very happy with Wolf coffee maker. Best tasting, maintains heat and awesome design!
TheNose –
Ok, we paid $473 on sale which is way more than you need to spend to get an equally good cup of coffee. BUT, it has a 5 year warranty. It brews 10 cups in 5 or 6 minutes. It has a removable water tank and will not turn on if you forgot to put in water. It stays cool and produces no steam at all which makes it ideal for under the counter brewing. It has a metal carafe with a wide opening so it is easily cleaned. It times how long after brewing the coffee sits up to 1 hour – the advertised time the carafe will keep the coffee piping hot! It has a rock solid build. We make 2 pots a day and have reached one hundred and it is now flashing that it needs to run the cleaning cycle. It will brew 4 cups in 3 minutes. It has many other unique features. Check it out.
MidtownSac1 –
I thought this was a bit much to pay for a coffeemaker but I must say it is worth the splurge. No guessing as it has a built-in scale so every cup is consistent and perfect to your liking.Best. Coffee. Every. Single. Time.
Diane Garnsey –
Easy to use and regulate strength. Wonderful cups of coffee. Stays hot through morning breakfast time and coffee break time!
Mary Gunter –
This is our first Wolf brand coffee maker and we are not disappointed. In fact we ordered a second on to carry in our motorhome.
Amazon Customer –
The unit is very pleasing to the eye. Makes a good cup of coffee in a short period of time. Difficult to clean the tray that holds the filter holder. A little pricey if it doesn’t last a long time. Filters are hard to find and very expensive. We purchased to match our other Wolf products.
Bill Christen –
Love this coffee maker! It better be with the amount of money spent. Yes, crazy to spend that but its worth every penny. I tried other higher-cost/rated makers but was not happy. Out of the box, the first cup was great. Tinkered with the setting to get my perfect taste. Matches my Wolf oven with the Red knobs. (yes, got me there) but outside that, its really a simple but customizable coffee maker with great results. This is made for undercabinet placement. I never have to move this unit. The water reservoir comes out sideways, the coffee compartment pulls out… so simple but yet high-end and quality in Wolf.
Snow Angel –
Doesn’t keep coffee hot.
Sunny SoCal –
I’ve never owned a $500+ coffee maker and sure didn’t think I needed one, but I just couldn’t pass on this perfect match for my other WOLF GOURMET countertop appliances. Like them, this is a sturdy, durable machine.Perfectly brewed coffee every time. Incredibly quick brew time. Easy to clean and maintain and always looks super stylish on the kitchen counter. Best coffee maker I’ve ever owned.
david’s pic –
Yea this was exspensive but I’m worth it and the old coffee maker wasn’t doing the trick anymore. This makes one hot cup of coffee. Loaded with features I’ll never use. That’s okCaution. Hot coffee🏖️
Douglas A Snyder –
Best coffee maker we have had! Simple, elegant, and makes the perfect pot!
CC –
I love the look of the device. I have a Wolf appliance kitchen and this machine compliments my decor perfectly. However, it is a very confusing device to figure out just how to make a cup of coffee. I am still learning the controls and button functions and everyday is an adventure. The machine has a minimum of 4 cups that can be brewed. That is a waste when I only want one cup of coffee, which apparently is impossible to produce. The control buttons and knobs are attractive but you need to have the instruction manual in hand to figure them out. But its nice to look at if you are into the Wolf red knob kitchen affect and have the money for this outrageously over priced item and under performing. I also bought the toaster, and it is also a subpar performer compared to its price.
MrsJohnsonMrsJohnson –
I just came back to this amazing Wolf coffee machine to buy a THIRD one in four months and thought I’d write a review. I’m not a coffee drinker but my husband is and loves really good, higher end, dark roast coffee and grinds his own beans and has tried about every brand of coffee machines out there with some being around a thousand dollars. For his birthday I bought him this Wolf coffee machine after reading great reviews about it on every website I went to. He loves it! He swears it makes the BEST cup of coffee that he has ever brewed. We travel all over the country for his work so we have it in our motorhome. We went to our home in GA at Thanksgiving and he just couldn’t use his Bunn anymore after using the Wolf so we ordered another one to have for our home. Now he wants me to send one to my sister in Virginia and surprise her with a Wolf since she is also a big coffee drinker like him. At $600 I hope this is the last one he has me order! To have a great cup of coffee every morning like this makes, it’s worth every penny and it makes me feel very good to know that I got him a birthday gift that he loves this much! Besides brewing the best cup of coffee, it also looks good sitting on the counter with its red knobs that Wolf is known for. It’s perfect in every way! Highly recommend!!
Joseph –
Great coffee
Terrel A. –
It works perfectly and has no cosmetic flaws at all. The value of the used one from Amazon is great compared to others, although it is still very costly. I really like the timer and accu-brew features. Have used it daily now for some time with no issues at all. It is a quality product.

Caleb –
Pricey for a coffee maker, but makes excellent quality coffee. I love the AccuBrew feature allowing the perfect amount of coffee to be delivered given the number of cups and brew strength. Insulated stainless steel carafe maintains coffee hot and fresh for hours. The water dispenser is easy to remove and reinstall after filling. Looks great on the counter. Programmable feature is easy to use. I saw some reviews for leaking, slow brewing, and luke warm coffee. I have observed none of these deficiencies – just perfect hot coffee every time.
Doro GDoro G –
I have been eyeing this coffee maker for more than a year. I did research, I compared features, I was tempted to buy something cheaper….. and then one day, while I was at the airport waiting for a flight, I saw this go on Cyber Monday sale….. and I bought it. Now I have it and I love it!!!!!I finally put it where it belongs. Close to the sink and right under the cabinet with the cups. Fridge with milk is on the other side…. I used to wait for my husband to get up and make coffee. I hated our old set-up where I needed to bring a pitcher of water clear across the kitchen. That was the only place with no upper cabinets. Now I have my Wolf coffee maker close to everything and it is amazing. I can’t wait to make coffee in the morning.The accu brew function is amazing. No more counting scoops. A pre-kindergarten person can do it. It brews super fast and the coffee tastes delicious too. (I have tried various coffee grounds, all turned out awesome.).Whoever designed this coffee maker is brilliant. It is practical, easy to operate, and it FITS under a cabinet. No steam dripping down, no pulling out the whole thing to fill it with water and coffee grounds. Love love love!!It is expensive, so it took me a loooong time to pull the plug and buy it. I don’t regret it. I further love that this machine does one thing and that really really well. I have had coffee makers that do different coffees and have all the bells and whistles. But the result was always the same a bulky machine making an ok cup of coffee requiring a lot of work. This one does one thing. It brews an awesome cup of coffeein a short time while standing under my counter and making me happy. That’s perfect for me.

M. Olander –
This is only day 1 and I have only made 3 pots of coffee, but this is fabulous. Because of the location desired below a cabinet, I needed a removable reservoir. It is easy to remove, fill, and replace without any spills or leaks. The coffee that is makes is very well integrated with the water. I cannot speak to how well the carafe works as I immediately pour the coffee into either a cup or a carafe as I have been doing for years. Even the coffee drawer is on cabinet-quality glides. Great job Wolf!
K. Williams –
Easy to use and great coffee every cup
Brian J. Miller –
Once the coffee is brewed, the only thing to keep it hot is the “thermal” container. There is no heating pad under the container. For $600 you would think they could put a heating pad underneath.Find something much cheaper if you like your coffee hot.
Amazon Customer –
I’m extremely happy with the coffee maker, I was a little hesitant because everybody was complaining about the coffee not being warm and difficult pour, I did not find this my husband made coffee at 4 AM to go fishing I got up at 7 AM and poured a cup and it was still steaming And have not had difficulty with it being messy pouring. I highly recommend it and I am extremely happy! I use half the amount of coffee that I use previously because of that scale.
JHC Custom Detail –
Superior quality coffee maker. Super quick, quiet and doesn’t burn
S –
Love this coffee maker. Makes a perfect and flavorful coffee. Keeps it arm long enough. Easy to use. Admittedly, it was a gift and I’m not sure if I could bring myself to spend this much on a coffee maker. But the more I use it the more I understand that you get what you pay for. So there is a lot of value to this investment. And good warranty.
Marie J. –
This coffee pot makes the best coffee I have ever had in my 62 years of drinking coffee! It is so well designed that it makes giving a review difficult. Everything about it is pleasing to the senses! Visually, it is so beautiful! It is super easy to keep clean! The sound of the three beeps when the coffee is complete is even nice! Also, someone mentioned that they couldn’t get the basket out, but my husband noted that there is a lever and all you do is depress it and then it moves out a bit more. Honestly, I love this thing!

So far I really like this coffee maker. It not only makes a great cup of coffee it is very attractive. Many more features than I have ever had in a coffee maker but I like it very much.
don gordon –
If you can afford the price, it’s solid construction along with the excellent brewing results is well worth it.
rambo –
I am very happy with the product but it came without water filter holder, it may not be resolved because I missed the return product window
Hbatch –
This is truly a meh coffee maker. For the pricegag (!) shame on you Wolf/Hamilton Beach. Nearly everyone will immediately brew to the strongest level strength, which makes any setting below it useless. The shape of the pour is cumbersome. The length of time it keeps coffee hot no better than thermals that cost half the price and even less.
Jimbo –
I bought this to replace my failing Breville. I like the concept of the built-in scale. I grind fresh beans for every pot. Different beans have different characteristics. I can change beans and still load based on weight.The flow rate and bloom time are set automatically. So far, they seem good. There is a manual setting for those of us who like to fine-tune. I have not played with the manual settings yet. It is easy to use and the cleaning is easy.

Been using this coffee maker for about 3 weeks now. It came well packaged and without damage. Every part of it is perfectly finished and does just what is supposed to do and makes an excellent cup of coffee. I hve an issue with the price which may not be justified. As everyone knows, as soon as you make a purchase on line you immediately start receiving ads for the same item. I got an ad for a wolf coffee maker that was $99. It had black knobs instead of the red but according to the write up seemed to be exactly the same otherwise. I am courius as to what it is about the two that makes one almost $500 more than the other. If anybody knows I would love to know myself.
The Salty DogThe Salty Dog –
Who wouldn’t love this? It’s everything I wanted AND red knobs. When my kitchen is done, it will be on the counter as it is really beautiful. For now, it is on my nightstand. 🙂 I love it. The coffee stays hot but not “I’m gonna sue you” hot. I haven’t tried the timer and all of the other features yet because I haven’t had to yet, but so far, so good.Love the low profile design with side water vessel and front coffee ground area. There’s no need to pull it out from under the cabinet to fill. This was one of the main reasons for purchasing.On sale for $499 and as much as I love it, I would not have paid any more for it. As it was, it was a major splurge for a coffee maker.

Now he wants me to send one to my sister in Virginia and surprise her with a Wolf since she is also a big coffee drinker like him. At $600 I hope this is the last one he has me order! To have a great cup of coffee every morning like this makes, it’s worth every penny and it makes me feel very good to know that I got him a birthday gift that he loves this much! Besides brewing the best cup of coffee, it also looks good sitting on the counter with its red knobs that Wolf is known for. It’s perfect in every way! Highly recommend!!

Wow. It’s literally a great coffee maker. It’s quick and produces perfectly hot coffee in minutes. Love the stainless steel coffee dispenser. It keeps the coffee hot for quite a while. So far I would recommend it.

Been using this coffee maker for about 3 weeks now. It came well packaged and without damage. Every part of it is perfectly finished and does just what is supposed to do and makes an excellent cup of coffee. I hve an issue with the price which may not be justified. As everyone knows, as soon as you make a purchase on line you immediately start receiving ads for the same item. I got an ad for a wolf coffee maker that was $99. It had black knobs instead of the red but according to the write up seemed to be exactly the same otherwise. I am courius as to what it is about the two that makes one almost $500 more than the other. If anybody knows I would love to know myself.

I was impressed with how easy this machine was to use. Everything was super easy to put together and it looks very elegant. It also comes apart well enough to make it quick to clean. The temperature of the coffee seemed perfect to me, not too hot or cold. I also used it to make hot chocolate (just without the filter) and it worked pretty well. Overall, great machine I would recommend. A little pricey but if you are looking for a solid coffee maker, this one is worth it!

Wolf is a great manufacturer. I bought this to match my current Wolf appliances. I like the weighing option but you can always buy a digital scale and weigh out 15 GMs per serving and save on a less expensive machine. I like toys and it’s convenient feature so the extra money was worth it. I couldn’t figure out why many of the reviews were saying the coffee is cold and I almost didn’t purchase the machine. I take my coffee black so this just has not been an issue at all for me. I can see if you add a large amount of milk it could possibly not be hot enough or if the pot sat for an hour before pouring and adding milk. There is no warmer and the pot is thermal insulated. It does hold temp for 90 minutes so if you don’t drink coffee within that time frame this pot is not for you, especially if you add milk. Taking coffee black the coffee will still be warm after 90 minutes for me but not as hot when it was first made. Not cold but drinkable right away. Wolf needs to put some kind of warmer for those who drink milk. I think it’s a novel idea not to but in the real world most people like coffee very hot 90 minutes latter. For me I drink my coffee within an hour so no issues. The machine is expensive and nothing special about the taste over a $200 machine. It does have a nice feature on brew strength but the weighing option takes care of that. The machine is very easy to use too and easy clean up. It is a Wolf and looks cool and if you have Wolf appliances is there really a choice? I gave it four stars as it should have a warmer and probably cost no more than $400.

No need to pull unit away from the wall to set up with coffee. The coffee drawer pulls out to fill and the water is added on the side, very convenient. And no fingerprint marks on the stainless; the Wolf logo is strategically placed where you push the coffee drawer closed. Smart. Coffee stays warm for about an hour even if you add milk. Makes a great cup of coffee.

Box was dented so hoping the receiver of this gift is not disappointed with the contents.

I have been eyeing this coffee maker for more than a year. I did research, I compared features, I was tempted to buy something cheaper….. and then one day, while I was at the airport waiting for a flight, I saw this go on Cyber Monday sale….. and I bought it. Now I have it and I love it!!!!!I finally put it where it belongs. Close to the sink and right under the cabinet with the cups. Fridge with milk is on the other side…. I used to wait for my husband to get up and make coffee. I hated our old set-up where I needed to bring a pitcher of water clear across the kitchen. That was the only place with no upper cabinets. Now I have my Wolf coffee maker close to everything and it is amazing. I can’t wait to make coffee in the morning.The accu brew function is amazing. No more counting scoops. A pre-kindergarten person can do it. It brews super fast and the coffee tastes delicious too. (I have tried various coffee grounds, all turned out awesome.).Whoever designed this coffee maker is brilliant. It is practical, easy to operate, and it FITS under a cabinet. No steam dripping down, no pulling out the whole thing to fill it with water and coffee grounds. Love love love!!It is expensive, so it took me a loooong time to pull the plug and buy it. I don’t regret it. I further love that this machine does one thing and that really really well. I have had coffee makers that do different coffees and have all the bells and whistles. But the result was always the same a bulky machine making an ok cup of coffee requiring a lot of work. This one does one thing. It brews an awesome cup of coffeein a short time while standing under my counter and making me happy. That’s perfect for me.

Yes, I’m a bit of a coffee snob, I admit it. All I really want is a coffee maker that makes great coffee, is hot when brewed, easy to use, and is worth the price. I’ve had good luck with $100 coffee makers from Braun, Krupps, and Cuisinart.But I decided to spend a good chunk of money on a gourmet coffee maker, thinking it must make fantastic coffee.I first tried and later returned a $900 Terra Kaffe that didn’t meet our needs.Saw the Wolf and mainly great reviews and thought must be worth the $600. Nope! Makes ok coffee, but no better than my previous $100 ones. Has some fancy features, but in the long run three issues convinced me to return it.1. Requires I use more coffee than usual to get the strength I like2. No heating plate, so the coffee is just warm an hour later, despite the thermal carafe3. The carafe has a wide rim requiring you to practically turn it upside down to pour coffee. That same rim prevents at least a half cup from pouring out and remaining in the carafe.I’ll be returning it and continuing in my search.

This was an expensive purchase. We have used many different brands of coffee makers over time. this is the most well made, fast, and produces hot coffee in a short time. Easy to use once you read instructions, etc. I would recommend it.We like regular coffee in the mornings. And have not explored any of the very expensive and fancy expresso, etc. machines. This Wolf answers our needs very nicely. thank you. Julie hopper

While pricey, it is a wonderful machine. Easy to fill and measures the amount of coffee so you get a perfect brew each time. Fits under the counter and looks sleek and elegant. If you love your coffee, splurge on this.

It’s an excellent coffee maker that replaces my technovern coffee maker. Coffee comes out at the right temperature. The programing and brewing options are awesome. I don’t use the filter water reservoir as I use RO water to supply the machine. I also don’t use the brew weight scale function as I use a Eureka timed grinder. The coffee is first rate and I wouldn’t hesitate to purchase another. You won’t be disappointed.This is my second Wolf appliance. The toaster/oven absolutely rocks.

I bought this to replace my failing Breville. I like the concept of the built-in scale. I grind fresh beans for every pot. Different beans have different characteristics. I can change beans and still load based on weight.The flow rate and bloom time are set automatically. So far, they seem good. There is a manual setting for those of us who like to fine-tune. I have not played with the manual settings yet. It is easy to use and the cleaning is easy.

Love the coffee and the coffee maker looks so classic on my counter. You have to love Wolf products to buy. It’s extravagant but I love it. I love the scale that guarantees the same great flavor every time. Can my coffee change its flavor by using this pot?? Yes. Much richer flavor.

My husband has spent years in search of good coffee. Every coffee maker he bought didn’t meet his hopes of making a great cup of coffee. This one does! Every morning he says ” I am so glad I can finally have good coffee!”. So bite the bullet, and spend the money for this coffee maker. It apparently is worth it. (I don’t drink coffee myself).

Yes it’s expensive, but it so easy to use. Best features are side water receptacle = no need to slide from under the cabinet to fill, Accubrew takes guesswork out of measuring coffee grounds, brews excellent coffee, stays hot for hours and looks great! Had an issue with leaking carafe, during setup but Wolf customer service was great and sent a new one. Mine didn’t come with a set of black knobs (only silver). If not for missing knobs – didn’t plan to use black knobs so not a big deal – and leaky carafe would give 5 stars.

Expensive and worth it. Solid kitchen essential. The filter in the water tank really helps especially when already using filtered water. Love it.

Looks great in our new kitchen. It’s been 1 year and use it every day. No problems to report. Has a brewing system that makes consistent coffee.

Ok, we paid $473 on sale which is way more than you need to spend to get an equally good cup of coffee. BUT, it has a 5 year warranty. It brews 10 cups in 5 or 6 minutes. It has a removable water tank and will not turn on if you forgot to put in water. It stays cool and produces no steam at all which makes it ideal for under the counter brewing. It has a metal carafe with a wide opening so it is easily cleaned. It times how long after brewing the coffee sits up to 1 hour – the advertised time the carafe will keep the coffee piping hot! It has a rock solid build. We make 2 pots a day and have reached one hundred and it is now flashing that it needs to run the cleaning cycle. It will brew 4 cups in 3 minutes. It has many other unique features. Check it out.

My new coffee maker makes great coffee, it’s easy to set up and program each morning. I enjoy my coffee when it’s HOT – I add creamer to my morning coffee, and it cools it off too quickly. So, I end up drinking warm coffee. What I do to remedy this is to add either hot tap water or boiling water to the pot and this makes the coffee hotter, longer. Now, I’m happy 🙂

Gave it a 4 star strictly due to price. Ridiculously expensive but I think that’s due to the name brand. Wolf does make great products.
