Braun KF590 Impressions Digital 10-Cup Programmable Coffeemaker Review

Braun KF590 Impressions Digital 10-Cup Programmable Coffeemaker
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Update: November 23, 2008:
I regret to report that this coffee maker stopped working today, less than 3 years after I received it. The power light goes on, but the heating element doesn't heat, and the water doesn't flow from the tank. The warranty is only one year, so no recourse there.While I was very happy with the Braun while it worked, I would expect a fairly simple mechanism to last longer.

I'm not saying everyone's Braun will suddenly stop working at about three years, and I don't know how well other coffee makers fare. However, I do know that most Cuisinarts have a THREE-YEAR warranty at no extra cost. With that timeframe, I could have replaced this for free (or, no more than the the price of shipping.) SInce I gave pretty much a rave review of this product, I wanted all potential buyers to know of my experience with its durability.It may still be worth purchasing, but I can no longer recommmend it without reservation.ORIGINAL REVIEW:
This Braun coffeemaker brews coffee so consistently hot and very flavorful that, if Aaron Copeland had worked for an advertising agency (shudder), his moving composition, "Fanfare for the Common Man," could have promoted it.Fortunately, he didn't.

OK, that intro was a stretch. So, without further delay, let me sing the praises of this Christmas gift:

A.Temperature."It's not hot enough!" is perhaps the most common complaint about coffeemakers.We can divide this into two categories: First, the coffee is not hot enough when made, and second, the coffee does not stay hot after it is made.
1.The Braun KF 590 (also known as the KF590E) brews very hot coffee, when initially poured you couldn't take it any hotter unless you had damaged nerve endings in your mouth.As with any hot beverage, the coffee will stay warmer depending on the coffee cup's insulation qualities (thick walls, relatively narrow, perhaps pre-heated with hot water)
2.Temperature Duration.The carafe of my old Krups (Crystal Arome Time, #400 series) seemed to keep things warm for about 20 minutes; this was completely unsatisfactory and the main reason for wanting a new one.My new Braun (thanks Mom and Dad!) kicks Krups' butt in this area, keeping it hot for hours without a burnt flavor.The default setting (until automatic shut-off) is 2 hours of heat, but you can manually adjust it from 20 minutes to 3 hours.

B.Convenience of Operation:The Braun is relatively easy to use, but a limited number of buttons (4) and indicator lights (2) operate the clock, the automatic shut-off described above, and the automatic start-up (setting the time that you want the coffeemaker to begin brewing).It does take a bit of time to learn these programming features; I consulted the brief instructions for a few days before I got the hang of it.Once learned, it not easy to forget.I don't think this should bea factor in deciding whether to purchase this. The Braum brews coffee faster than in the old Krups, and like many machines, this one stops the coffee flow when the impatient (or the addicted) simply must pour a little java before all the water has run through.Noise level is about average, you can hear it brewing, but it's doesn't sputter loudly when done.Another contrast to the Krups is the nicely designed carafe handle and the ease of pouring coffee without spilling it.

C.Features:THE WATER FILTER-It's almost unbelievable that the instructions don't include the replacement model number for the "Braun Brita" water filter.They're not hesitant to tell you that it "improves coffee flavor by significantly reducing chlorine and also prevents calcification ... Provided that the cartridge is replaced regularly every two months, it not only brews better tasting coffee but can also extend the life of your coffeemaker by preventing [this gets redundant] calcification buildup.Braun water filer cartridges are available at your local retailer or Braun service centers."

WHAT THEY DON'T TELL YOU...Use the following to replace the "Braun Brita" water filter: The KWF2. (web citation: http://www.theessentials.com/jump.jsp?itemID=994&itemType=PRODUCT&path=1%2C2%2C8%2C65%2C336&iProductID=994 ). As of this date, this costs $9.99 for a two-pack.At one filter every two months (see below), annual replacement (assuming no shipping) will cost you about $60, or about 75% of the current Amazon.com sale price.Braun and Brita executives must be in their cups about this sweet little arrangement they've brewed.

As stated immediately above, Braun's manual recommends that you buy a new water filter every two months, but the Braun-linked website above tells you to replace it every 70 brews. Depending on your consumption, that could easily take three or four months, not two. Also, running vinegar through the machine twice should dissolve most or all of the calcification, and one can always just buy bottled water.

Big Brother Braun reminds you that it's time to change the water filter with a small but cheesy-looking 12-month "time for a new filter" dial on top.This is a slightly annoying and unattractive feature onan otherwise stylish machine.There's a permanent (but removable) "gold cone" filter, the type of filter that most aficionados prefer for its superior brewing properties.It appears you can buy a replacement filter at Amazon.com, although other than an accidental tear or accumulated stains (which can be removed with baking soda and scrubbing), the filter should last for years. However, it doesn't look gold and it's not clear to me whether there really is a gold coating over the fine steel mesh. One can manually swing out the filter holder, or lightly push a small silver button atop the machine.Very nicely done.

D.Maintenance:Very easy: Wipe off the outside, run vinegar or water through it, and take out the gold cone filter and run water over it. Because part of the holder for the gold cone filter is metallic, it is supposedly not dishwasher safe, the manual recommends wiping it down with a damp cloth with a small amount of dishwashing soap if desired.I didn't see any metal parts except the metallic exterior of the holder; personally, I'm gonna dunk the thing. Since the manual is so incomplete, you may want to copy the "authorized" Braun Service Center number:1-800/272-8611.

E. Where to Buy Accesories:
1.The KWF2 Water Filter:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000062UH2/ref=ord_cart_shr/103-7519344-0327817?%5Fencoding=UTF8&m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&v=glance&n=284507
2. Gold-Tone Filter
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0007W04A2/qid=1137279064/sr=1-12/ref=sr_1_12/103-7519344-0327817?%5Fencoding=UTF8&v=glance&n=284507

F.The Bottom Line:Easily one of the best coffeemaker out there, the Braun KF590 makes delicious hot coffee that stays hot, and it sells at a very reasonable price.I considered the Braun 600 "Impressions" machine because of its thermos-like carafe, but that feature is a double-edged sword, you can't see how much coffee is left.Aside from the small but ridiculous water changer dial on top, the chrome and black Braun 590 looks good and is moderately sized for its capacity.

Look at the reviews of the other coffeemakers and you may agree that this is the best one for the money.I will be updating this review in a few months to let people know about the Braun's durability.

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
After reading the reviews for this and other coffee makers, I concluded everyone is having quality control problems. I sympathize with the folks who have gone through two or three lemons before finding something that performed as advertised. I've had that experience and it can make you crazy.
But I loved the cool looks of this thing the first time I saw one at the home of friends in Alma, Colo. They were happy with theirs and it performed well at 10,600 feet in the Colorado Rockies.
So I rolled the dice and bought one at Wal-Mart, but took care to keep the receipt in case they were having a bad day on the Third World assembly line when my coffee maker was being built.
I've used it daily for three weeks now and it's performed perfectly. No leaks, no overflowing, no fires or explosions. Just good coffee.
And I like the fact that it turns itself off after two hours so I don't have to worry about whether I turned off the coffee maker when I'm out running my morning errands.
MAY 2009 - It's still working fine, although my Colorado friends' machine crapped out sometime last year.

Krups FME2-14 12-Cup Coffeemaker with Glass Carafe, Black Review

Krups FME2-14 12-Cup Coffeemaker with Glass Carafe, Black
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I was a little concerned about opening up shop away from home, 3 states away, and having to leave my tried and true Krups Pro Aroma behind. Granted, its an 8 year old model, but it made a great cup of coffee, and I had mastered the fairly simple interface for programming and setup.

In my search, I read a LOT of negative reviews about the new Krups product family. Really not a surprise cause even the Pro Aroma had its many quirks, but still.....the coffee. So, after reading a bunch of bad reviews on Braun, Mr Coffee, Cuisinart, and Krups coffeemakers, I figured $60 was worth the risk to plunk down on this model. My first impression when I opened the box was that the coffemaker was solid and well constructed, but that the carafe was too light and thinly formed. But after two weeks of use I really cant find anything to complain about.

Yes, the carafe is very light, but I like it. And it pours well with no drips. I havent yet attempted to program the machine cause thats not a necessity for me, but hit the "ON" button and in about 5 minutes you have a fast, hot, and extraordinarily flavored pot of coffee. And this is honestly the best coffee I've ever had from this machine, even much better than my old Pro Aroma from the same manufacturer.

I dont know how Krups does it, and I dont care, this machine is just one of the best on the market today, and probably thee best when we're talking about the quality of the end result...which is all that matters. 5 beans

Product Description:
Combining appealing and distinctive design with a powerful, fully programmable brewing system, this 1100-watt coffeemaker provides fast and efficient brewing. The unit features a cascading brew head that delivers a shower of hot water to ensure even extraction, while its flavor-control aroma switch maximizes flavor--perfect when brewing smaller amounts. Even more, the coffeemaker's bright-blue, illuminated LED control panel makes it easy to program the clock and timer, which allows for waking up to the aroma of freshly brewed coffee and offers automatic shut-off options (from one to five hours). A glass carafe comes included, complete with a stay-cool handle and a drip-free pour spout. For sneaking a quick cup of coffee midbrew, simply remove the carafe from the machine to pause the flow of coffee, then replace the carafe to continue the brewing process--a nice feature, particularly for those in a hurry for that first sip. Other highlights include a 60-ounce water reservoir, an empty water-reservoir detection function that shuts the unit off automatically if empty, an audible "ready" signal at the end of the brewing cycle, and a DuoFilter water-filtration system that removes chlorine for better-tasting coffee and helps reduces mineral deposits for longer machine life. The sleek-looking coffeemaker measures 10-1/2 by 8-1/2 by 13-3/4 inches.

Senseo SL7832/55 Single Serve Supreme Coffee Machine, Chrome Review

Senseo SL7832/55 Single Serve Supreme Coffee Machine, Chrome
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I previously owned the older (non-recalled) Senseo model and loved it; I used it daily for over two years. I recently purchased the deluxe, improved, model and the coffee tastes and smells like plastic. I've gone through an entire package of pods to see if the taste disappears; it has not. I don't know if the plasticy flavor and aroma is due to the deluxe model or the 'improvements' made in the overall design; however, I'm very dissatisfied with the system and will probably return it.

Click Here to see more reviews about: Senseo SL7832/55 Single Serve Supreme Coffee Machine, Chrome

Product Description:
Uniquely designed, this coffeemaker brews a single serving of fresh gourmet coffee at the touch of a button, in under a minute. Because the appliance uses pre-measured coffee pods, the system is hassle-free, easy to clean, and guarantees a fresh, flavorful brew each time. The machine's mild 1.2-bar pressure system and special spray head produce an optimally balanced coffee-filtering process, while its patented "frothing chamber" ensures a frothy coffee layer. Simply fill the removable 32-ounce water reservoir with water, insert a pod, and lock the lid into place. The coffeemaker allows for selecting from multiple serving sizes using its interactive LCD display. Choose from a 3-ounce, 4-ounce, or 5-ounce cup, or a 6-ounce, 8-ounce or 10-ounce mug. Depending on the cup size selected and the number of pods used, it's easy to create a stronger or milder cup of coffee. Other highlights include an adjustable spout that can be raised and lowered to accommodate different size mugs, water-level indicator lights, dishwasher-safe parts for quick cleanup, and a free tea-pod holder. Shaped like a curved cylinder with a round base, the coffeemaker measures approximately 13-1/2 by 12 by 8-1/2 inches.
From the Manufacturer
The Senseo's mild pressure system heats water to 205 degrees Fahrenheit in a boiler consistently every time. Via the mild pressure system, the heated water is forced through the machine and is evenly distributed over the pre-measured coffee pod(s.) Exiting through a pinhole in the pod tray, the newly brewed Senseo coffee is projected into the base of the patented "frothing chamber" where it is lightly aerated to produce the frothy coffee layer. The machine brews at 1.2 bars. Espresso machines typically brew at 9 bars or higher and drip brewers do not use pressure. The machine then distributes either individual or double servings of gourmet Senseo coffee simultaneously--the whole process taking on average only 45 seconds. Easy to Use, Flavorful Results
A Variety of Coffee Choices
Senseo offers a varied selection of blends and flavors. In addition to the first four original blends, Medium, Dark, and Decaffeinated, you can also choose from Breakfast Blend, Paris Vanilla Bistro, Vienna Hazelnut Waltz, Sumatra Blend, Brazil Blend, Kenya Blend, Senseo Cappuccino, and Senseo Espresso.

Senseo Supreme Features

    The first Senseo to feature interactive LCD screen technology that enables brewing of a variety of cup sizes (up to 10 ounces), customizing the strength of each cup

BUNN GRXB Original 10-Cup Home Coffee Brewer, Black Review

BUNN GRXB Original 10-Cup Home Coffee Brewer, Black
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I've had 3 of these in the last 10 years (I don't baby my coffeemakers, and eventually the hard water kills them). I am not the patient type, so I prefer the Bunn because it makes a full pot in 3 mins. I can start the coffee, get the cup and the creamer, and the coffee is ready.

I prefer this version over the newer one, as I am not too certain of the swivel lid on the newer ones remaining flat and not breaking.

I would recommend that you use the Bunn coffee filters, which are available at most stores. Anything else is probably too short to properly fit the filter container, and you'll get grounds in your coffee pot.

I also recommend using a pretty fine grind of coffee. That seems to get the best flavor.

Sunbeam HDX23 Heritage Design 12-Cup Programmable Coffeemaker Review

Sunbeam HDX23 Heritage Design 12-Cup Programmable Coffeemaker
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have owned this about 6 months now, and I couldn't be happier!Design and performance are great.I LOVE all of its conveniences, from the removable water reservoir (no more awkward reaching, pouring, or spilling), to the permanent filter with removable (and very easy to clean) basket.The "shower head" sprayer that "brews" the coffee works wonderfully, creating a full-bodied brew. And finally, it looks awesome on the counter.We get compliments quite frequently.

Some people have mentioned that it doesn't have a lot of high end features, but it has all the ones I'll ever need.For example, it has the "pause and pour" feature so you can sneak a cup during brewing.It also has a very interesting clock with a timer on the front (which doesn't reset every time there's a glitch in the power).

I contemplated getting an insulated carafe-style coffee maker for a while...until I realized they don't have warming plates, and you can't see how much coffee is inside (this is important when desperate for the first cup, and for knowing how much is left).Friends with the insulated style have told me that their coffee comes out cooler than they would like, because it is being stored in a cold vessel that steals quite a bit of its initial heat.I have since learned that it's a good idea to heat up insulated carafes ahead of time with hot water.But, having to do that would make the timer feature pretty useless.So, in the end, I decided to go with a regular glass carafe and warming plate, and I purchased a separate insulated carafe that I can use as needed.This seems to fulfill all my coffee needs!

On a side note, there is another "HDX23" listed on Amazon, but the picture is of a Mr. Coffee machine, and the descriptions and reviews do not match up.I'm pretty sure that there is a lot of confusion about that one, and as a result, I would not trust the reviews listed there.The Sunbeam HDX23 looks exactly as the one pictured above, and it is a great machine.

I'm at a loss as to the problems some other reviewers have had with this coffeemaker.I actually purchased the white unit but it's the same as this one except for the color and metal trim. I bought this machine locally and then went and read the reviews here on Amazon to make sure it was an OK unit.I was on the verge of returning it due to some of the negative comments but I figured "ah, to heck with it" and went ahead and set it up.First off, it makes a great cup of coffee and it's EASY to program.The pot is easy to pour...NO DRIPS and the water level indicator works as it should.I just wonder if all the negative reviewers work for the competition because I found no problems with this unit at all.Now, of course, time will tell if it will last many years as did my last machine but my first impressions are very good.

Product Description:
Combining appealing and distinctive design with a powerful, fully programmable brewing system, this 1100-watt coffee maker provides fast and efficient brewing. The unit's bright blue, illuminated LED control panel is easy to read, and its programmable timer/auto-on sets the start time each day. The appliance is designed with a stainless-steel soft-eject filter holder for easily adding ground coffee, and a magnified water-level indicator for high visibility. A built-in water filtration system removes chlorine and lime scale build-up, while an electronic de-scaling indicator measures brew time and calculates when de-scaling is necessary. For added safety and convenience, the machine's 60-ounce water reservoir has a detection feature that shuts the unit off if the water reservoir is completely empty.
With a no-drip spout and an ergonomic handle for easy pouring, the coffee machine's 12-cup vacuum thermal stainless-steel carafe maintains flavor and temperature longer. For days when less coffee is desired, an aroma switch can be set to maximize flavor for one to three cups. A popular pause-and-serve function allows for pouring a cup midbrew, and an audible signal indicates when brewing is complete. To keep coffee warm from one to five hours, the unit also offers an adjustable-time heating plate with a default of two hours. The stylish and efficient coffee machine features a compact design and carries a one-year warranty.

Bosch Tassimo Single Serve Coffee Brewers Review

Ordered this new Bosch Tassimo machine on-line directly from Tassimo.Same price as Amazon at $139.99.www.tassimo.com. We have been using it for about a week now and I absolutely love it!We had used the Braun Tassimo machine for about 5 years and the new Bosch has much improved the Tassimo coffee maker.Here's a list of the Improvements:
1.It's narrower and doesn't take up as much counter space
2.There is a power button on the front of the machine so you can easily turn it off at night.
3.There is essentially no water warm-up time.It is almost instant after you insert the T-disc and push the green button.
4.It is extemely quiet.
5.It even makes the coffee a little stronger than the old machine did.
6.It does not collect waste water that you have to empty all the time.Only the few drops of coffee that don't make it into your cup are collected.
7.Much better filtering system. It also has a change filter indicator to tell you when its time to change the filter.
8.Higher construction quality, more solid feel to the machine.

Product Description:
With the touch of a button, this single-serve coffee brewer makes coffee, tea, and hot chocolate, as well as cappuccinos and lattes with real milk. The machine uses Tassimo discs (T-Discs), which contain precisely measured amounts of the ingredients for each drink and are sealed to protect the flavors inside. With barcode technology, the brewer scans the barcode printed on the label of each T-Disc to identify the drink desired. The system then expertly adjusts to the optimal brewing time, temperature, and amount of water needed. Simply insert a T-Disc, press the button, and in about a minute, sit back and enjoy a coffeehouse-quality hot beverage, one cup at a time. Try over 40 beverage varieties from 12 distinct brands, including Starbucks. All the brewing happens inside the T-Disc using a unique inverse flow, so beverages pour directly from the T-Disc into the cup, allowing for different drinks to be prepared one after the other with no flavor transfer from cup to cup. There's no measuring, no fuss, and virtually no cleanup. The coffee brewer also allows users to customize the drink size and strength; its fully automatic brew cycle can be interrupted at any time to make adjustments to the strength. In addition, it automatically reverts to stand-by mode after every brew cycle in order to save energy when not in use. Other highlights include a convenient front-access on/off switch, an integrated LED user interface, an extra-large 67-ounce removable water tank, an exclusive flow-through water heater for faster brewing, an automatic cleaning and de-scaling program, and an integrated storage compartment for T-Discs and the power cord. Two MAVEA water filters come included. Housed in a compact, modern design with satin-silver panels and chrome accents, the coffee brewer measures 13-1/4 by 8 by 11 inches and carries a one-year parts-and-labor warranty.

We all know that too much coffee is terrible for the body in several ways.So, instead of using the 12-cup coffee maker, we decided to go with a smaller one - to force me to drink less coffee.I love this product for a number of reasons.

Pros:
- Perfect size for a single coffee drinker.
- Timer is great.Every other 4-cup maker that I found were switch based without a timer setting.Timer settings are really helpful when you want to just get your coffee and go.
- Easy to clean.This product has a removeable filter cup for easy cleaning.Also, the auto-pause in brewing is helpful to both allow for quick removal and less spilling.

Cons:
- It takes a little longer to brew 4 cups with this maker as it does in a larger maker.This may simply be due to the size of the product.

Summary:
- I really like this product.It makes coffee perfectly.It is compact and takes up very little space.It is perfect for my coffee needs.

Product Description:
Perfect for one- to two-person households, this coffeemaker brews up to 4 cups of fresh, flavorful coffee at a time. The programmable unit can be set up to 24 hours in advance for "wake up" coffee or to have a pot ready and waiting to serve with dessert--no need to get up from the table half way through dinner. For those eager to get a jump start on their day, the machine's brew-pause function allows for pouring a quick cup midbrew--simply remove the carafe to pause the flow of coffee, pour a cup, then replace the carafe to continue the brewing cycle. The included carafe offers measuring marks up the side, an ergonomic stay-cool handle, and a drip-free spout for graceful pouring. The coffeemaker also provides dual water-level windows that show the amount of water in the reservoir for accurate filling, a two-hour automatic shut-off function that keeps coffee warm for two hours before automatically shutting off, and a removable filter basket that lifts out of the brew basket for convenient removal of coffee grounds. Other highlights include an on/off indicator light, a stain-resistant warming plate, water filter adaptability, and cord storage to keep countertops looking neat and tidy. The coffeemaker measures approximately 9 by 6-1/2 by 10-1/2 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.
