a little slower than most other brands

same as Mr. Coffee

the most time yet at that point in the video

1 minute faster than the Krups

the fastest time measured at that point in the video

after the required initial setup/priming process, finished a brew in only 2 minutes, by far the fastest time measured of any coffee maker (not counting setup time)

hottest of all coffee makers tested

moved into the lead among budget models at that point in the video

about 8 degrees cooler than the Proctor Silex

the hottest water yet at that point in the video

10 degrees cooler than the Mueller

good enough for third place behind the Mueller at that point in the video

almost as hot as Mr. Coffee

the hottest water measured at that point in the video

hotter than most of the other brands

hotter than most other brands

still very hot

hotter than when fresh

no dribbles or water puddles

performed quite a bit better than Proctor Silex, Better Chef, and Mueller, though it did experience a small dribble

made quite a mess when poured quickly, described as not designed for people who move fast

left more of a mess than the Proctor Silex

performed even worse than the Proctor Silex and Better Chef; coffee pot spout is a leaker

very well designed, no spills or drips

no dribbles or spills

struggled at the beginning of the pour, made quite a mess

performed about the same as the Taylor Swoden, with water spilling onto the table

great job with no loss of water, has a plastic band around the pot top to channel water flow; the most user-friendly water fill area of the group

made quite a mess, similar spout design issue to the Proctor Silex

a leaker, cover snaps in place but does not offer a very good seal

performed very well, no leaks or spills, matching its cleanest-pour claim

moved into second place behind the Hamilton Beach

second place behind Amazon Basics at that point in the video

a little better than the Proctor Silex

took the lead at that point in the video

a little low

moved into second place at that point in the video

barely edging out the Taylor Swoden

by far the best result of any coffee maker (Makita excluded due to using a permanent filter)

a little short on extraction, the lowest result of the group

transcript states two different figures for this brand: 619 parts per million during the main test sequence, then the recap sentence says 'the Ninja and Cuisinart also performed very well at 638' (tied with the Ninja). Both numbers kept verbatim; likely a caption/number transcription inconsistency, not resolved with certainty.

the highest of any coffee maker tested, though the host notes using a permanent filter (instead of the paper filter used for all other brands) more than likely gave the Makita an unfair advantage
