Customer Response
Poor product
When you get over the superb look of the machine, pray that nothing goes wrong - as it will inevitably. Krups machines are all hand-built in China (!) and there is no justification for such a high ticket price. Not only that, when the machine gives up you'll be lumbered with the expense of sending it back to Krups' appointed agent.
Take my advice - buy something cheaper and don't be fooled by the looks. As my old Grandmother used to say; it's all fur coat and no underwear!
Stoped working after 4 months
After 4 months it gave an error message showing the there was no water in it when there was. Could not reset. Junk
died in less than one year
Purchased this unit Feb 3, 2008. Died Dec 13, 2008. While it worked, we liked this unit.
Best coffee maker
I agree with other reviewers who say that the negative posts must come from competitors. For the price, this is by far the best coffee maker on the market. I have owned this machine for 4 years..... it is used every day..... and ir is still working perfectly. The only issue I had was self inflicted. A small piece of paper, most likely from the optional filter, that I no longer use, got lodged in the little hole at the bottom of the water tank. This caused a restriction of water flow and poor performance......slow brewing. Once I saw the little paper piece and removed it the machine is back to perfect. All of the complaints other reviewers mention are bogus. My unit doesn't drip, as other brewers do, when you pour. It heats just fine and with this type of basket you can brew small servings and get perfect coffee. If you want to spend twice as much you can get all metal heavy latches and a device to weigh down the counter top but it won't make better coffee or last any longer. All in all an excellent machine.
Some good, some bad
This coffeemaker makes a great pot of coffee & the advance timer function is a real advantage.Waking up to coffee already made is mighty convenient. The functions are relatively easy to program, though the image of machine w/names of parts should have been put on the facing page of the usage instructions.The water gauge has constant air bubbles (very annoying) so amount of water has to be reckoned by the pot. The "finished brewing" alert is so faint that if one isn't directly next to the pot,it can't be heard. Minor annoyances,I grant,but need to be addressed.
