Krups Precision 12 Cup Coffee Maker Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I believe that Krupps Coffeemakers make the best coffee.Mine was over ten year old and needed replacement.I didn't like the all metal look of the Coffeemakers on Amazon and was glad when they came out with this black one.It truly makes good coffee and it looks nice too.My main complaint is the water fill tank in the back is small and hard to hit the right spot without spilling (see photo). This is why I didn't give it five stars. The level indicator is also rather hard to see, and I have to guess as to how full it is.It seems like all Krupps Carafe's dribble a bit, but I am used to that by now.I still really like it, even with it's faults.

KRUPS KM8105, 12-Cup Die-Cast Programmable Coffeemaker Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Had I read these reviews before buying this coffee maker, I would have stayed away ..... far away. But it looked good in the store, so I went for it. The dripping carafe is the biggest problem. It's really bad. So I called Customer Support (1-800-526-5377) and I must say they were accommodating (must be getting a lot ofcalls on this one, or they're simply blowing me off!). They took my name and address and said they would ship a redesigned replacement carafe when they become available at the end of December (apparently the carafe's are in the process of being manufactured). I'll wait and see. I like the look and feel of the machine and the coffee is fine, it just makes a mess when you pour.

They did ask if I had the receipt and if I had the machine in front of me (yes on the receipt, no on the machine as I'm at work). However, they did not ask that I fax anything, unlike other reports I've read. So for now, I'll pour over the sink and hope they keep their word.

My one concern is in regards to a company that would actually manufacture and market a product that is obviously poorly designed to the point of being defective. Makes you wonder about the quality control for the rest of the unit. But if you own one of these, and can't or don't want to return it, call Customer Support, ask for a new and improved carafe, and keep your fingers crossed.

Update Dec 18, 2009:
True to their word, my new carafe arrived yesterday. Basically, they widened the spout and removed the baffle. Works perfectly. I'm pleased with the quick response, as I really want to like this machine. No other complaints, although the 2 stage timer advertised on the box would have been a nice addition, especially at this price. So I'm revising my rating from 1 star to 4. If you own one with the old style carafe, call customer service at the number above. The concern someone else mentioned about the removable tank eventually leaking is a possibility, I guess. Time will tell. In the meantime, I'm OK with it.

(More customer reviews)Krups KM4065 12-Cup Stainless-Steel Coffeemaker

This review is for the Krups KM 4065 coffeemaker. I believe this is the first of a new line of coffeemakers designed Bjorn Dahlstrom.At the moment, this coffeemaker is not on the Krups website and there is little information available on the web. I've only had it for a couple of days so here are my initial thoughts.

Pros:
1. Looks fantastic
2. Seems reasonably well built and the top door opens and closes smoothly
3. This has a different water gauge from the FM series and it works well and is easy to read (no bubbles).
4. I've filled the reservoir from both a Brita pitcher and from the included carafe without spillage. (That said the fill area is at the back near the door hinge)
5. Uses #4 Filters
6. Makes a great cup of coffee
7. The included carafe pours well

Cons:
1. Pricey for a unit without a thermal carafe
2. Programming is non-intuitive and a little frustrating
3. Manual could be a lot better
4. Like most stainless steel appliances, fingerprints may be an issue if you are not careful
5. Durability of main button to open top lid remains to be determined
6. Carafe seems a little light and the cover flimsy

Overall, I am very pleased with this beautiful coffeemaker.It looks like the design changes have addressed the water gauge issue with the FM series and so far I've had no leaks.The carafe works well so coffee spillage is not a problem and most importantly my initial experience is that this machine makes good coffee.

I have deducted one star due to the fact I've only had it 2 days and can't attest to the long-term durability of the unit and it is a little pricey compared to competing units.

Krups FME4 12 Cup Glass Programmable Coffeemaker Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)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.

Krups KM1000 10-Cup Stainless-Steel Coffeemaker Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Some have commented in their reviews that the coffeepot drips, that the pot itself is difficult to remove and replace into its alcove, or that the coffeemaker spontaneously turns on. I value the consumer reviews posted here and usually heed them, but I loved the look of this coffeemaker so much and could find no other brands to match the styling and features of the KM1000 that I decided to risk it and order.So far, I have experienced none of these problems, and have been very happy with my purchase.The Krups KM1000 is a great little coffeemaker that not only makes a great-tasting, piping hot cup of coffee but looks good while doing it.Programming is easy and the price is right.My only fault with Krups is that not even a sample pack of cone filters was included with the coffeemaker as a courtesy, so be prepared with size 4 cone filters if you want to start brewing out of the box.

KRUPS KT4065, 10-Cup Thermal Programmable Coffeemaker, Stainless Steel Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We have used Krups thermal carafe coffee makers for years, needing to replace them every few years because of hard water problems.We bought a Zojirushi BD-15 and it leaked water from the reservoir like a sieve, from the base of the unit.We then bought this Krups and were disappointed as soon as we started to use it.First, the lid of the coffee maker pops open to expose the basket and the fill chamber, which is a small opening in the back right corner.This isn't so bad by itself, except that you can't fill the reservoir with the carafe because the lid sufficiently obstructs the fill opening, particularly if you use the carafe which needs to be almost fully inverted because of its design.We had to use a separate container for this step.The opening of the carafe is so narrow (2.5") you can't put a hand through it to clean it.

The clincher was that the coffee maker overflowed onto the counter as it was brewing (not from the top of the basket, but from the top of the carafe).Even with careful positioning of the carafe, the coffee would not enter the carafe without some cajoling. This was a hit or miss proposition and required us to watch carefully.We are going to send this model back.They should bring back the Model 229, which was a much better design.
