 poor quality construction September 4, 2010
Julie A. Jennings (Boonton, NJ United States)
The unit looks nice, but if you have to turn the unit off, and then later turn it back on... you can't, you MUST brew another pot. You also can't brew another pot without waiting for the unit to cool off for a few minutes. The warmer is made of carbon steel painted with heat-resistant enamel. In the first three months of use, the enamel started to show signs of wear. After 10 months, the warmer rusted all the way through. The unit finally died after 10 months; the electronics that control the programming, clock, and - most importantly - the on/off switch, finally died and refused to turn on. Also, in the weeks leading up to the failure, the warmer became nothing more than warm to the touch. If all that isn't enough, the glass carafe has a handle that is glued on, and is not secured to the pot by any other means, which means that if the company went cheap with the other things, it's a sure bet that the handle's glue would have given way soon. The unit is made entirely of plastic, and there is just no excuse for charging the price asked for. Shame on Krups, I expected better from them. Also, this unit is universally sold for $45 - $50, and I've never seen it sold for $70, so don't think you're getting a good deal from Amazon, either. Shame on Amazon.
 The coffee is the thing August 31, 2010

I've been a Krups fan for over 20 years, and while I've tried several other makes, I'm always disappointed. I read a lot of reviews of this item before I bought it, and some of the gripes about it are valid. The control pad is not intuitive at all (keep your owner's manual), the carafe is thin, the lid isn't removable, it's easy to drip while pouring. Those are the main ones that come to mind, but they are all insignificant to me in comparison to the quality of the coffee it brews. I've not been able to find any better, and I've looked. The coffee it brews is truly great fresh, and it's even very good after sitting on the warmer for 3 hours. And this is the least expensive one - unless I needed one that looked better, I can't think of any reason to buy one of their pricier ones. After I received mine and tested it, I bought another just like it (we need two). The coffee is the thing.
some problems August 16, 2010
James Leibold Jr.
It makes decent coffee, but the problem of air bubbles in the water level measure that others have mentioned is a real one. We now have such a big air bubble in ours that the water level indicator on the unit is worthless.

I have had Krups coffee makers before and have been very happy with them. I bought this one as a replacement for one that was old enough that when I broke the carafe I couldn't find a replacement. So, prior to this I have been very happy with them. However, this maker has had multiple problems. The programmable feature stopped working early on. Now the reminder beeps are stuck in the on mode. I wake up earlier than my husband and this drives him crazy. About a year into owning it, the outer part of the handle came loose. It reattaches, but frequently falls off in my hand and recently fell off in the dishwasher, hit the heating element and partially melted. Its newest problem (1 1/2 yr mark) is the basket door swinging open in the middle of brewing. I am on this site looking at reviews of other coffee maker brands since I am having so many problems with it that I have to replace it. On a positive note, I do like the quality of the coffee it makes.
Fine cofeemaker, but good luck setting the timer August 12, 2010
David Laub (Skokie, IL USA)
I'm not sure whether having a PhD. or a lobotomy would have helped, but setting the clock is beyond cryptic and took me 15 minutes of trial & error while holding the instruction manual & reading it over and over and over...
