Subject: Clarity Brewing Temp


Was just reading one of the Technivorm threads, and mention was made of the
Clarity, and it's propensity for brewing too hot.

DUH !!

I've owned one of these things since they were closing out at $20 a couple
of years ago, and have only used it a handful of times.

Why? Because the coffee always tasted burnt and bitter.

If it's a common problem, has anyone disassembled the fool thing to find an
adjustment of any sort?

Thanks!

DS

We've used a Clarity (two actually) for a long time. There's nothing wrong
with the brew temp; in fact that's the best thing about the machine. The
only problem with the Clarity is the warming plate. If one leaves the
coffee in the pot with the switch on the coffee will quickly burn. The
solution for us was simple - as soon as the coffee is brewed transfer it to
a prewarmed thermos. I've also heard from owners who've cracked open the
machine & disconnected the warming plate.
