Great morning start
Love this machine, simple and easy. The only problem is finding a coffee that I like. Love the time delay, I set it up ready to go 10min prior to me getting up. The coffee has stayed hot for the whole 4 hrs, I have had no problems in the heating. It is very stylish and that was a selling point, easy to clean.
Purchased in December 2019 at Myer Retail Stores for $99.00.

Great Machine, just what I expected.
Good quality machine, fast brewing, can also set time delay to wake to a morning brew. A++
Coffee quality is consistent and I just need to adjust the amount of coffee I put into the machine, has a great guide on how many scoops etc... you need to work out your flavour and strength by experimenting (A good thing not bad).
Coffee nice temperature, keeps hot for over 3 hours.
Would recommend.
Only down side, the water filter inserts aren't readily available at the retailer to buy easily, need replacing monthly.
Purchased in November 2019 at Harvey Norman.

Questions & Answers
Frequently Asked Questions about Sunbeam Specialty Brew Drip Filter Coffee Machine PC8100
My coffee tastes horrible even after trying different grinds and using different paper filters. What should I do?
Try a different brand of coffee beans. Percolated coffee is an acquired taste which is different to instant coffee.
How do I clean and care for my machine?
Descale. your Sunbeam Specialty Brew Drip Filter coffee machine. Minerals (calcium/limestone) found in water will leave deposits in your coffeemaker and affect its performance. It’s recommended that you regularly remove these deposits using vinegar.
- Remove the advanced water filtration system from the coffeemaker.
- Prepare 4 cups or 600ml of undiluted, white household vinegar. Pour the vinegar into the water reservoir.
- Place the empty reusable filter into the filter basket and close the coffeemaker’s lid.
- Place the empty carafe back in the unit, centred on the warming plate.
- Press the Clean button. The coffeemaker will run a slow clean cycle and shut off.
- Discard the cleaning solution and rinse the carafe thoroughly with clean water.
- Fill the water reservoir with 12 cups of clean, fresh water.
- Place the empty carafe back on the coffeemaker, centred on the warming plate.
- Remove the reusable filter used during the cleaning cycle and rinse it thoroughly before replacing it in the filter basket.
- Press Brew Now and allow the full brew cycle to complete, rinsing the coffeemaker with hot water.
- Discard the water and rinse the carafe thoroughly with clean water.
- Repeat steps 8 through 12 one more time, to ensure it is fully rinsed. Your coffeemaker is now clean and ready to brew the delicious, hot coffee!
Note: It is recommended that you descale your coffeemaker every 30 days.
The water seems to flow way too quickly and I end up with dull tasting coffee, what should I do?
Use a finer grind on the coffee beans.

Yesterday I unfortunately dropped and smashed my carafe for this Drip Filter machine - are there spare carafes available and if so the price of them or is it cheaper to re buy the whole machine???

Email Sunbeam team, my carafe got a crack in it they sent me a brand new one (under warranty though). They would be able to give you a price to see either way.
Eileen C.asked

mezasked
is water filter required?
Since it is not in retail shops,I cannot find it but do I have not use it or it can be removed?
2 answers
The filter that is included with the unit is a good idea to use, I was told you can order them from your place of purchase (Harvey Norman etc..) I hadn't thought about not using it to be honest, just looking at the user leaflet no mentions not to.
What if purchased through a website that doesn't sell filter cartridge
