What Others Say
Decent coffee, nice design, too many serious flaws
The coffeemaker looks terrific and it's made very solidly. But there are too many problems to ignore. First off, you need to use much more coffee than you would with other machine. Secondly, the carafe is a disaster. If you wash it by hand or in the dishwasher, water collects under the plastic collar. This problem, as noted by other reviewers, is very unsettling, as it sizzles as it drips onto the hot plate and makes a horrid sound. Even when the carafe looks dry, somehow the water escapes and has this issue. The other problem is the spout with the lid on. Coffee manages to drip everywhere as you pour yourself a cup, as the spout gets stuck to the lid. It's a hot, brown mess that needs to be cleaned up. I can't wait to get rid of this ... Read More
Lovely to Look at -- Great Coffee!
I bought this coffeemaker primarily because I fell in love with its looks (how shallow is that?). And it does look AWESOME!!! But it also works great: easy to use, makes amazing coffee quickly...no problems at all. It's as lovely on the inside as it is on the outside.
I also bought the matching coffee bean grinder and the permanent gold-plated coffee filter. I highly recommend both of those accessories.
UPDATE: I've been using this coffeemaker daily and must add a comment that it's the most user-friendly coffeemaker that I've ever had. I love and appreciate it more with each use!
What a mess!
This coffee maker has a tremendous issue with leaking - the drip spout pours out at an angle so it misses the coffee pot and flows cups of coffee all over the counter. I've tried different grades of coffee grounds and an alternate filter - no luck. I bought it because it was designed to front load water and brew awesome cofee but it doesn't operate (major design flaws in this model, including no auto-pause). Looks great and coffee tastes good but you will have problems with this model if you buy it! Sincerely...
Kitchen Aid knows they have a problem!
In plain words dont spend your money this is the worst coffee maker on the market.And once more Kitchen aid knows it. No matter which way you pour water in this coffee maker it goes all over the counter very poor design.Kitchen aid has replaced this coffee maker 3 times for me all of which have different problems from the sensors to the water mess this applaince is not worth the money even with there warranty.It should not even get 1 star.
Replacement due to faulty sensor has even more major issue...
Blogged it, figured I might as well warn prospective buyers too...
So I got tired of replacing $50 coffee makers every 6 months when the heating elements failed or the electronics fizzled out and decided in March to spend some money and get a nice machine. I debated between a coffee maker and an espresso machine but settled on the coffee maker. I like my espresso, but in the morning I like to come downstairs to a piping hot cup (or six) of regular coffee (with good fresh beans).
I'm lazy and the espresso game is a bit on the physically intensive side for me at 6:30AM.
Anyway, back to the reason for this post. I bought the KitchenAid ProLine Coffee Maker and loved it. It's a tank -- truly commercial grade - ... Read More
