Makes good coffee, but I think I could make something for much less that works just as well. The filter included clogs very easily. It takes 1 pound of coffee to make 1 decanter and I still mix it about 50/50. The coffee is much smoother and lower in acidity, but I think some people will miss the bitterness and acid that is usually assocaited with coffee.
Takes some doing to make this stuff and the filter always gets clogged and its a bear to clean when its half full of coffee grouds and water. My wife and I didn't think it did justice to what we were looking for. Went to a Espresso maker and we add hot water and it seems to do about as well acidity wise but tastes lots better and its easier to make and less wasteful.

Definitely makes a good cup of coffee, however, the process is labor intensive and certainly not for those who have any issues with delayed gratification. The clean-up is a bit of a hassle, and it is far from economical. More of a novelty than a practical buy. Thankfully, it is not an expensive purchase.
Bought the thing based on reviews here and in major news outlets
Bought the freshest bag of Starbucks beans I could find (expiration date on back) and followed the instructions. No problems in making it, but it tastes only so-so. A just made cup at Starbucks is better and so is french press.
I will try another kind of coffee, but so far I am pretty dissapointed!
"Complicated process at first, but don't let it scare you away..."
The first couple times I made the coffee, I was worried about screwing it up because the instructions are not 100% clear, and they are kind of tedious. However, the coffee extract is perfect for iced coffee. I add vanilla soy milk, and it's heavenly. The problem with attempting to make hot coffee out of it is that you won't be able to get it hot enough just by adding boiling water (You might be able to microwave it though, as I don't have one).
