" ... Could be a little easier to set auto . ... "
" ... best cup of coffee in years ... "
" ... Love my Krups coffee maker ... "
" ... the pot keeps the coffee warm 4 hours ... "
" ... Same wonderful coffee as my first. ... Love the thermal pot so the coffee doesn’t get bitter from sitting on a hot plate. ... "
" ... Its a bit slow to produce any amount of coffee you want but the coffee it produces is very good and the vacuum sealed carafe holds the coffee at a really good temperature for long periods and, since the carafe is not heated externally, the coffee doesn't sit and 'stew' so 2 or 3 hours later you can still get a fresh-tasting cup. ... Recommend this coffee maker. ... "
" ... Excellent coffee maker ... "
" ... I like that the thermal pot keeps the coffee hot. ... "

" ... This is our second KRUPPS coffee maker. ... "
" ... Makes a great pot of coffee! ... "
" ... Coffee flavor isn't amazing (for a 100$ drip machine I was expecting better) but it's by no means bad. ... "
" ... I earmarked the Krups because of the brand name and long-standing reliability of their anchor coffee makers. ... Next up, first run with regular Folgers coffee using the permanent gold filter. ... Krups has discontinued this line of coffee makers. ... "
" ... This new coffee maker is terrific I especially love the space where you add the water it’s large & easy to see . ... "
" ... Definitely use a commercial grade coffee pot cleaner to make it easier. ... "
" ... It operates literally the same as the old unit, save the extra 2 cup capacity, and most importantly makes excellent coffee - this is why we’re attracted to the Krups brand. ... We don’t see any issues with coffee leaking out while brewing. ... "
" ... I love this coffee maker. ... "

" ... It powers up but no longer pumps the water. ... "
" ... The water receptacle is right next to the filter and hard to fill with the carafe without spilling water into the filter area which then pours through to where the carafe should sit. ... On a standard height counter, it is awkward to use because of its height. ... "
" ... The Auto On button doesn't work and the top lid to the device does not fit well so each time I lift it to fill it with water and coffee I have to reattach it manually which takes considerable effort. ... "
" ... The handle has 2 different shades of plastic. ... There is movement between the two thin plastics that feels like it is not only very cheap, it will likely break soon. ... "
" ... I have had three of them in the past and they’ve worked great but this one broke and I am not happy with it. ... "
" ... The handle came loose right away but we have managed to make it work. ... "
" ... Screen showed E4 and that was it. ... "
" ... FIlled with water AND IT POURS OUT OF THE BOTTOM. ... "

" ... The machine gave out in less than a year of daily use. ... "
" ... Worked only for 6 months. ... "
" ... When one finally died we ordered a new one. ... And now, 4 months late, it stopped working. ... "
" ... But… I only had it for three months and it had an error code E4 that isn’t fixable. ... "
" ... I bought this 22 months ago. ... I can't find it to save my life. ... "
" ... Of course, no problems with returning it since it’s defective. ... "
" ... We used this item ONCE and then it stopped working - PLEASE REFUND MY MONEY ... "
" ... The beeping is annoying and can't be turned off. ... "
