What Others Say
Not flawless, but works fine
Buying a coffee maker is not straightforward. I read a ton of reviews of many different models when our older coffee maker (a now-discontinued Starbucks Barista model) finally died. I did not see a single coffee maker that had uniformly positive reviews, and I also didn't find one that had every feature we were looking for. We decided to give this one a shot; all of the negative reviews made us pretty skeptical, but so far it has been working well for us.
We were looking for a coffee maker that (in no particular order) A) used a thermal carafe instead of a hot plate, B) had a removeable reservoir for convenient filling, C) made good coffee, D) wasn't extremely expensive, E) was a solid, well made device with positive customer ... Read More
Terrible coffee maker
This is my second Krups and my last. I've had it 4 months and the water brew temperature is about 160 degrees, which makes a lousy cup of coffee. I use only filtered or distilled water so there shouldn't be any build-up on the heating elements, but I decalcified it anyway and still can't raise the temp. I give it one star because it fits under my cabinets, otherwise it's a piece of junk. And a guy can't get his hand in the carafe to clean it.
Don't Waste Your Money
Do not buy this machine. The basket that holds grinds swings open, resovoir is unreliable to show how much water is in it.
Like the design, hate the coffee
I bought this coffeemaker because my glass carafe from my Braun AromaDeluxe coffeemaker broke. Since a new carafe was over 25.00 I figured I might as well buy a new coffeemaker to go with my other chrome appliances. i also figured a thermal carafe would be less likely to break and wouldnt need replacement.
I made several cups of coffee so far and here is my impression. When brewing, I didn't get that great smell of morning coffee. Instead, all I could smell was plastic heating up. The ohter annoying thing is the water gauge on the side. I had filled it up and turned it on (I believe the water level read about 5 cups). The coffee would not begin brewing and instead kept beeping. It was not recognizing that water was in the reservoir.

Junk
Bought my first Krups at a Bed Bath and Beyond. Had it ~a month when suddenly the water that I poured into the reservoir came right out the bottom. Took it back and the nice people there allowed me to exchange it for a new one. My second one lasted a week. It continued to indicate that the reservoir was empty when in fact was full. It will not brew if the sensor believes that there is not any water in the reservoir. On the plus side, the thermal coffee pot is great. It will keep the coffee hot for hours without cooking it. I will have to buy another brand with a thermal coffee pot. I will never buy another Krups anything.
