KRUPS Simply Brew: Stainless Steel and Glass Carafe 12 Cup Drip Coffee Maker, Programmable with Digital Display, Dishwasher Safe, Drip Free Coffee Machine, Black and Silver

UPDATE to review- there was unfortunately a defect with this coffee maker. It was going to be more complicated going thru krups to send it to them, have them evaluate it before deciding if they'd repair it before sending it back to us. With Amazon it was very easy, uncomplicated good customer service where they will send a replacement and I return this defective one. Amazon continues to make us feel confident in buying thru them. Now I really hope this second krups coffee maker work well. We had high hopes with the krups name, especially with this high price. And at this point I do think we I wr paid. Probably should have chose a different coffee maker *** I really like this coffee maker. Appearance is very nice, easy to clean. And with other coffee makers where the burner usually is with other, that area chips away eventually due to the daily heating. With this being the karaf that continues the heating, takes that problem away. We haven't had this long, and so far love it. Things I've noticed -This is actually a 12 cup, not a 14 cup but I'm ok with that. Only other issue we're trying to figure out, first time using it, it shut off multiple times and we'd have to restart it. That has happened only once more since then as we're using it daily for a month now. We read thru instructions but cannot find what would cause that. If you know please comment

UPDATE: After my husband wrote the below review I thought it was a little better that that. Until this week when in less than a year it started leaking all over the kitchen table. Oh you must have spilled it I said, and again today the table had water all over it. It's coming from inside the machine. Well, it's in the electronic recycling bin and husband is running to Costco to pick up a Ninja. Very sad when your product can't last a year and the only option is to send it in and wait till it is fixed and shipped back. My wife bought this after quite a bit of research as I wanted a thermal carafe to keep my coffee warm to replace one tht failed. I bought this based on good reviews and the Krup name, but sad to say I'm a bit disappointed in it. There are several issues I have with it, the first one being that the carafe dribbles, especially when using it to fill the coffeemaker. This is not a unique issue to the Krups as many makers seem to share this issue, but it seems inexcusable that any manufacturer would sell such a flawed product. Next is that the keypad is unresponsive and often requires several attempts before it catches and begins brewing. The basket is also a mess. When I use the goldmesh basket it doesn't catch the fines and the last cups get the dregs. If I use a paper filter, it often folds over from the spray, and overflows making a mess. Lastly, the machine never dries out and there is a lot of condensation inside when I open it to brew a fresh pot. None of this was an issue with the Gevalia I had to replace, which I bought at a garge sale for $10 and used for probably 7 years, w/o these issues. I really hoped that this Krups would serve me as well, but sadly that hasn't been the case in over the year I've owned it.

This coffee machine makes the best coffee. It is easy to use. It has a programmable feature that is great for starting the machine in the morning so you can wake up to a hot fresh brewed coffee.

We got this through the Vine program and spent a good amount of time with it before posting our review here. First item arrived in a damaged internal box. External box was fine, but the inner boxes were crushed a bit. When we unpacked the coffee maker, it had a dent right in the front. So, we exchanged for an undamaged one. Second one arrived in perfect shape. We used this coffee maker for about 2 weeks. We were using a Bunn coffee maker (20 years old, built like a tank, and no frills) and the only reason we considered a new one was for the timer feature. This coffee maker looks nice, but feels like a significantly lesser quality than the Bunn. But, it works well. The good: - Timer function works great. - Strength adjustment (not sure if it's a gimmick, but it can be adjusted). - Reusable/washable filter basket. - Looks nice. - GREAT customer service by Krupps (explained below). The bad: - Lightweight, made with a lot of plastic. - Reusable filter works OK, but you get very fine grit at the bottom of each cup of coffee. - Easy to overflow (explained below). So, the second unit we got was flawless and we used it for about a week with the reusable filter basket. We noticed a bit of 'sludge' or very fine grit at the bottom of each cup of coffee. We decided to try without the reusable filter basket and use a paper filter instead. That's where we had another (and much bigger issue). Came downstairs about 1/2 hour after the coffee should have been made to hear the coffee maker gurgling and still brewing. That seemed odd, so when I went and checked on it, I noticed that there was very little coffee in the carafe. The filter basket had been lifted up so that the plunger to release the coffee was NOT depressed. The carafe should push the plunger in the bottom of the filter basket. In this case, the whole basket lifted up and therefore was not letting brewed coffee flow out the bottom into the carafe. Instead, the filter basket overflowed and spilled partially brewed coffee and grounds all over the counter and back down into the reservoir! So, it was constantly sending partially brewed coffee back up to the overflowing basket and back down into the reservoir. I examined the coffee maker and the basket has a raised tab on it. I assumed that the lid should contact that tab to hold the basket down. The lid is curved or warped, so there was a 1/4" - 1/" gap between the underside of the lid and the tab on the filter. I called Krups and they were VERY helpful. They sent a return label and I mailed the coffee maker back to them. They tested it and could not get the problem to happen again. They said the gap between the lid and the tab on the filter basket is supposed to be there. The returned the coffee maker and followed up with a call and explanation of what was tested. We agreed that it must have been a fluke. I still wonder why they put a raised tab on the filter basket if it's NOT supposed to be held down by the lid, but it is what it is. The only thing I can think is the time it overflowed, maybe the filter with the grounds was not all the way down into the notch causing the carafe to NOT depress the plunger. It has worked fine since. Top notch customer service, nice coffee maker. Could use some improvement, but overall works good.

Terrible. Coffee is cold after 4 hours. No re-heat option on stay-on mode. I also often to forget to empty the carafe and have had more coffee wrecks than ever. That's not Krupp's fault, just something to think about before you buy. You can't see the contents of the carafe soo it might get overlooked; until it's flooded the counter, drawers and floor. Good times. Not. And the coffee doesn't stay hot long. Save the cash, or spend more on something better. Sorry Krupps. I wish I never bought this!

Excelente cafetera personal, después de romper algunos vasos de cristal en cafeteras pequeñas, esta está súper práctica

Muy recomedable

Es un voluntario pequeño el que se puede hacer de cafe, practico para una o dos personas

Bought it as a gift for my dad and he loves it. He likes to make his coffee and drink on his way to work so this is perfect because he can just brew the coffee straight on the travel mug. It's also very compact so it doeesn't take as much space as other coffee makers.
