Great Tasting Coffee

 

Great Tasting Coffee

We had a Krups for about 10 years and it finally died. I went with Consumer Report's advice and bought an expensive Cuisinart....it was a mistake. After trying several coffees and formulas in the Cuisinart, I finally gave up and bought another Krups....

Burning Plastic Carcinogens! Buyer Beware!!!

My wife purchased this coffee maker over a month ago and the smell of burning plastic is OVERWHELMING, despite multiple cold water rinses. The plastic smell leaches into the coffee. In a world full of toxic plastics and synthetic estrogens, use of...

It brews coffee just fine but the clock stopped working after 2 weeks and it's too much hassle to return it.

It's a good entry level coffeemaker

 

It's a good entry level coffeemaker

I've used Krups for years, so I decided to go with this model over the Cuisinart model that is similar in price/features. Here's the good: 1. The "flavor control aroma switch" - It makes a stronger pot of coffee, and it helps you avoid making a weak...

Makes good coffee but...

Good: It makes good coffee and it's hot. It makes coffee quickly. We've had the coffee maker for 6 months and it still works most of the time; see below. Bad: The clock and programming are hard to set/use. We finally gave up and just plug in the coffee...

Not happy with this coffeemaker

We purchased this to replace a similar coffeemaker, made by Krups that we had for around five years. The programming functions were "touchy" from the start, so we usually did not use them. The water reservoir scale occasionally did not fill with...

Product Specifications

New from Krups, this 12-cup programmable coffee maker has 1,100 watts to provide fast and efficient brewing. The programmable timer/auto on sets the start time each day and has a 1-3 cup flavor setting to maximize flavor extraction from small quantities of coffee. There is an audible signal indicating when the machine is done brewing and a popular pause and serve feature allows interruption anytime during brewing. After brewing, the heating plate time is adjustable from 1 to 5 hours. The 60 ounce water reservoir has a detection feature which shuts the unit off if completely empty has a built in water filtration system to remove chlorine and limescale buildup. Beautifully styled with a blue illuminated LED control panel for easy of use, it has a soft eject filter holder for smooth control swing out action, and easy pour 12 cup glass carafe with no drip spout and ergonomic handle design. The descaling indicator measures brew time and calculates when descaling is necessary. Comes with a 1-year warranty.
