Poorly designed for ease-of-use

 

Doubt the designers actually tried to use this machine. Do not recommend it.

Decent design ; Makes decent coffee (though this can be said of most drip coffee makers these days) ; Standard programmable features

Incredibly poor design w/hinged access to water tank (too small, doesn't open widely enough, too hard to reach, especially for L-handers, & blocked by water filter holder) AND floppy, loose, permanently-attached hinged carafe lid. Nearly impossible to...

Second Time Around

 

This is my second purchase of a high end Krup's coffeepot. I was delighted with the first one so I didn't bother looking for some other brand. So far, the second one has met all of my expectations.

Terrible product

 

I can't even begin to say how disappointed we were with this machine. It leaks badly (out of the machine itself), takes forever to brew, noisy, and doesn't stay warm. A complete waste of money and will be thrown out with the trash.

Expensive disappointment

 

Thought this would be a great upgrade in coffee making based on the description of product. Completely stopped working after 33 days and in the middle of a brew cycle. What's wrong with this coffee maker? I've been making coffee all my adult life and...

Careful!

 

Don't buy this coffee maker. It does not hold heat long enough. It leaks when we pour. (Was warned about this, but I thought that was a careless person--NOT.)
