Patented Temperature stabilized Brewing Technique maintains a constant water temperature of 200°F for flavored cup of coffee with no bitter aftertaste. The secret to better tasting coffee is a second water chamber that pre-heats the water right away unlike traditional brewing systems that have water reservoir with a lower brewing temperature of ~ 140 & 194°F / 60 & 90°C. The shower head has 18 holes to distribute water evenly over coffee for maximum flavor extraction. Capacity: one.8-Quart/Liter for 12 cups. The water tank is removable with graduated cup markings for simple filling.

Some reviews about Cloer 52 12-Cup Bitterness Eliminating Coffee Maker

I compared the new Cloer 12-cup coffee maker to my go-to machine, a Bunn ThermoFresh, using my favourite beans, freshly ground in a Breville conical burr grinder; filtered water and paper filters in each machine. Cloer's machine produced a cup of coffee with more body and more complex and lasting flavor, which I think is due to better extraction from the bean in the coursework of brewing. Cloer makes use of a 'pulse' brewing technique due to the way its two-tank hot water technique works: chilled water is taken from a reservoir about a half-cup at a time and heated to 200 F. before it is released through the grounds. This ends in a more stable water temperature throughout the brewing cycle compared to machines that heat the water all directly and then start cooling down until their heater cycles on again. The Cloer machine has water measurements marked on the inside of the tank and on the stainless steel strip on the control panel, with cups of coffee marked on the glass carafe as well. I find this handy for making a partial pot of beverage. Unlike the Bunn, which has a stainless steel thermal carafe, the Cloer machine includes a warming plate "temperature adjustable by set levels" to keep the coffee uniformly hot for the life of the brew.
The Bunn machine also has a two-tank method but its method serves a different purpose: a full pot of water is heated & then continuously showered through the grounds. Meanwhile, a separate tank of icy water is waiting to be drawn in to the method in case a second pot needs to be brewed. The Bunn method is fussy compared to Cloer: to receive a brand spanking new pot of coffee out of the Bunn, I always must put a brand spanking new pot of icy water in to the first tank. For me, this leaves day-old filtered & once-heated water sitting in the method, waiting for me to make a pot of coffee that will seldom be truly 'fresh.' It is not that Bunn's engineers are 'lame'; their machine is designed for holding hot water on a regular basis & for being on day & night. Their first pot of coffee can be made without waiting for water to come up to temperature, which can be an advantage preparing for work at home or in keeping the coffee flowing at the office.
As with so lots of things today, coffee machines are made in China to engineering specifications from elsewhere. Cloer is engineered in France. The materials used in making the machine are 'upmarket' where plastics are concerned, having a pleasant 'soft touch.' Parts appear hefty & solid & tolerances on the coffee maker for fit are lovely. As with all button displays/controls, it helps to read the users manual to set the machine up. The method is not tricky, different. Where things need to come apart for cleaning they do & they give the assurance that they will fit securely back together as well.
NEW DATA - THE ORIGINAL CARAFE HAS BEEN REPLACED This new carafe features a simple glass pot with a 'typical' plastic top that doesn't have any place for water vapor or coffee liquid to seep in to before it leaks all over your tablecloth. Materials are still up-market but now the design works! Lots of of us found that the original carafe developed a tiny but annoying leak around the rim or spout. This did not make the machine unusable but minor mopping was necessary. I passed this issue on to Salton, the machine's importer, & they 'kicked the issue up the line' & I now have a brand spanking new & functional carafe, provided free. I am advised that future shipments will include the improved pot.

I have owned lots of coffee makers over the years, but this is ideal. The design is amazing; simple, stunning, simple to make use of, functional. The coffee it produces is so smooth & bitterness free, that my husband & I speak about it every morning since they bought it. The coffee it makes is "head & shoulders" above any coffee maker I have ever owned.
The carafe pours without spilling. the reservoir is simple to access & even has a light. I am so glad I spent the additional funds to buy it. It was so worth it. I had a Krupp before which i paid $83.00 for & it was a catastrophe."Thankfully I took it back, & I never take stuff back" It dripped, the reservoir was difficult to pour in to & it got coffee grounds all inside the machine & was difficult to neat, & the coffee was bitter.
I only use the best coffee & grind my own beans as it is such a treat to have great coffee in the morning. This coffee pot make the best ever!!! I bought a second for our office.
Great post, I am a coffee lover and agree with your way of thinking.The ways you have illustrated the information is impressive. Thanks!
