Is it hard to mould the trays? I have 2-3 cups of coffee a day and was wondering if this works quick?

Yes the trays are easy to mold. But I do not feel like these whitened ike many say. I saw a MUCH bigger difference when I used the Crest white strips professional effects. After the first treatment I noticed a difference and that was after using these.

the custom trays, no it is not hard to make the mold. the cheaper trays that come with the set, they are not hard to mold but they don't work nearly as well as the custom trays. not a tight fit and much too big for my mouth, they were uncomfortable. it's worth the price to get the custom. i did see a quick change, like 3 shades in the first week probably. it kind of plateaued a bit after that but definitely worked.

Good Question. At first I was afraid I did something wrong, but that is the purpose of the tray. Some water and coffee will automatically go into the tray.

It does take a little longer because that is the process of temperature and brew time. Mine seems to work fine and while it does take longer to brew, the results are much better than a typical coffee brewer.

This is meant for home use, as per the manual; not for business use. Having said that, 100 coffees per day is doable, but you'll have to empty the drip tray every few cups (depending on the type of beverage), descale every 5 days and do the other maintenance every 200-or so cups. So, I wouldn't recommend this for you. I'm guessing that you'd want it to be 'fast'; this one isn't 'fast' from a "i want 100 cups of coffee everyday" standpoint. good luck.

That seems about right. There is a removable drainage tray that sticks out of the frount that needs to be dumped frequently, after every cup you brew. One has to dump water in for each cup. If you can afford it get a good one that you refill a resourvour with water that lasts for a few cups and you can adjust the strength and the size of the cup-this one doesn't. It was cheap and only my wife drinks coffee, not me-I didn't know better then. I do now. Good Luck!

it will take no time per coffee depending on the size and if you have to refill the water container. but have to warn you that we had to send our machine for repair 3 times because it would lock up

Yes, you need to move the bottom tray but it fits fine. I usually make two cups of coffee on the middle setting and there's still room for milk/cream. You may have to pour out a tiny bit, but they are wonderful. Tip it upside down and not a drop comes out. Also, keeps the coffee hotter than most.

I make coffee everyday and it hasn't stained or cracked yet. I can't say it'll last forever, especially if you drop it!

LOL! Welcome to the club Grergory! I've had mine for about a year. Although it makes very good coffee I like mine quite strong. The brew basket on this unit isn't sized for "too much" ground coffee, so if you want it strong you have to make it in smaller batches. Also, be sure to take the shower head out and clean it after brewing as the grinds float to the top and stick to it.Jon GordonI know this is a bummer, but this is just one of the short comings of this unit. Better by a replacement basket now, if you can get one, as Bodum isn't making them anymore and if yours cracks like mine did, then you'll be out of luck. LOL! Welcome to the club Grergory!

2 to 3 hoursThe negative is I need to pour the coffee through a sieve or coffee grinds get into the cup.

Hello AS. I have not had a problem with my same coffee maker. It has worked at our expectations, and we are heavy coffee drinkers. Two pots brewed per day and weekends at least four. This includes brewing teas & hot water for soups and such. Hope this helps. I did buy a similar product years ago from the Navy Exchange. Called customer service to have repaired/replaced under warranty. No problem gave me address to mail to four days later my replacement arrived and I had just send the broke one back. I can't complain about that. Good product and my experience, "THEY STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT".

my problem was difficulty in removing carafe top. Only used 3 days. My current 4-cup Mr Coffee is 4 years old and still going.

Yes, my husband makes just a few cups at a time. You put in enough coffee and water for two cups and allow the press to work. The pot does not need to be filled to capacity to make coffee. Just a trick to keep your ratios right.

I always make 1 or 2 cups only, so, I don't have this problem... Don't make a lot of coffee as well. :)

You could make less, just put less coffee and water in. You'd have to experiment to get it exactly the strength you like.

Depending on the surface it could take a while. I did a few things than let them set. The following day I placed a plastic coffee cup in the dish washer to wee what would happen and it stayed on the cup through several washings and that was without the baking like on the ceramic cups.

Hello Vera, I don't know why - all I can say is how I use it, and that I am happy. I use the typical round filters on top of the filter supplied, since I do not wish to clean it each time. I use a mug, so it takes 2 1/2 scoops for the strong coffee I love. My mug and the supplied mug hold the same amount of liquid. I timed it, and it takes 3 1/2 minutes from the time you push the button until it stops dripping. I then tip the unit to get every drop, remove the paper filter, and I have my morning coffee, the way I like it and saved a ton of money rather than the premeasured pods. It shuts itself off after the 3 1/2 minutes is up; but you cannot turn it off once it is on. It is so small, it would easily fit in my travel case when I go out of town. I am so happy with this that I am giving it as a Xmas gift as well. It is exactly what I wanted! I hope all this helps you, and you are welcome to ask me any other questions you may have. Happy Thanksgiving, Suzanne
