Do not buy this machine. The basket that holds grinds swings open, resovoir is unreliable to show how much water is in it.
The ohter annoying thing is the water gauge on the side. 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. You are also supposed to pull the water filter out before adding water. I made several cups of coffee so far and here is my impression.
I was expecting SO much more, esp since this was more expensive than my last coffeemaker. When brewing, I didn't get that great smell of morning coffee. Instead, all I could smell was plastic heating up. I bought this coffeemaker because my glass carafe from my Braun AromaDeluxe coffeemaker broke. The negative reviews on here are true. It was not recognizing that water was in the reservoir.
The coffee was not hot immediately after brewing. It was just warm.
I wish I read them before buying it is a cheap piece of junk that smells like plastic and brews lukewarm coffee. i also figured a thermal carafe would be less likely to break and wouldnt need replacement.
I am returning this and just ended up buying a glass carafe for my Braun. 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. I am so disappointed but am getting my money back.
I will have to buy another brand with a thermal coffee pot. On the plus side, the thermal coffee pot is great.
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.
Bought my first Krups at a Bed Bath and Beyond. It will not brew if the sensor believes that there is not any water in the reservoir.
My second one lasted a week. It continued to indicate that the reservoir was empty when in fact was full.
It will keep the coffee hot for hours without cooking it. I will never buy another Krups anything.
This is the second coffee maker we've returned in less than 2 weeks. Thinking it was just that "new car smell" that certainly would or should go away after a few pots of water had been run through it, we were really surprised at how strong the odor still was about a week after using it.My sister was babysitting for us a couple of days ago, and the odor was so strong for her (mind you, the coffee maker was NOT even on or plugged in) she had to open the screen door in the kitchen to get some air to hopefully help the smell go away.I am so glad to see other people having problems with the plastic on this coffee maker. The DeLonghi model we bought before this Krups maker was poorly designed. Then, we get this Krups coffee maker home, and notice a strong plastic odor. The smell is almost like the plastic is melting, and there's a strange almost chlorine odor to the plastic when you get really close and smell it.I tried to convince myself that the taste of the coffee wasn't affected, but it is.This cannot be good for you.In no way am I going to attempt to resolve anything through Krups customer service.especially after reading how other reviewers were treated. I'm simply going to take this thing back to the store and hopefully find a good coffee maker that doesn't give off what smells to be dangerous fumes.
A complete new unit arrived about three weeks later. Purchased this to replace an aging but extremely reliable Starbucks that had been around for a couple of years to many. Three weeks or so, and "no water" symbol started showing up again. The first unit worked well for about four weeks, then started indicating that it did not sense water in the tank and would not brew. After exhausting all the reasonable troubleshooting, we sent it in to the Krups service center for repair/replacement. Once is bad luck, twice is bad quality. Don't waste your money on this product.
