Overview
The Elite Gourmet EHC-5055 is a compact 5-cup drip coffee maker with a glass carafe, a reusable swing-out filter, a Pause N Serve function, and a simple on/off switch.
It is built for a single person or small household rather than a full pot for a crowd, and the reusable mesh filter is the standout feature, though at least one reviewer swapped it for paper filters after finding the mesh left sediment in the cup. There is no automatic shut-off, which one buyer learned the hard way after leaving it on before work.
- 5-cup glass carafe with water level indicator
- Pause N Serve mid-brew pour
- Reusable swing-out mesh filter
- Simple on/off switch with power light
Who it's for
Fits a dorm room, small kitchen, or one to two coffee drinkers who want a compact machine without extra programming. Less suited to anyone who wants a full-size pot, an automatic shut-off, or coffee free of any sediment straight out of the reusable filter.
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Owners generally like the compact size and find the Pause N Serve feature works as advertised, unlike some competing pots. The recurring caveats are the lack of an automatic shut-off, one report of the unit failing after about a year, and a preference some buyers developed for paper filters over the included reusable mesh filter to cut down on sediment.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Compact footprint suits small kitchens, dorms, or offices
- Pause N Serve works reliably for a mid-brew cup
- Reusable filter cuts ongoing filter costs
- Simple on/off switch with no programming needed
- No automatic shut-off
- Reusable mesh filter can let sediment through compared to paper
- Full brew cycle runs close to 10 minutes
Performance notes
A full 5-cup pot brews in about 10 minutes through the reusable swing-out filter, and the Pause N Serve function lets you pull the carafe mid-brew for an early cup without dripping onto the warming plate. The reusable mesh filter cuts down on paper filter costs, though at least one reviewer found it let more fine sediment through than a paper filter would.
