Cheap, but what else would you expect
I bought the Rival coffee maker several years ago at Walmart. I was just starting to drink coffee and wanted to buy a cheap coffee maker before committing to buying a more expensive coffee maker. This coffee maker was the cheapest I could find. It is very lightweight and has a plastic carafe. It feels and looks cheap, but I figured that going in by the extremely cheap price. It uses standard size coffee filters. I'm not very picky about my coffee, but I don't feel like it gets quite hot enough with this coffee maker. I bought a Keurig a few months after buying this coffee maker and didn't use it for several years. Recently I decided to go back to using a regular coffee maker since the K-cups are so expensive. It still worked great even after being stored for a couple of years. I accidentally broke the carafe when washing dishes. I dropped it into the water and it cracked. I didn't drop it from very high. I was unable to find a replacement carafe which made the entire coffee maker useless. I would not recommend this coffee maker. There are other lower end brands that are better in my opinion. I did not like that the carafe is not replaceable. It also is not programmable.
