Krups Aromacontrol Therm Time Steel: One reason to wake up ...

by theuerkorn Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 100, Nov 04 '02
Pros: modern design, thermo canister, aroma lock, good quality, excellent coffee
Cons: tall, no backup battery for timer, no grinder incl.
One of the great advantages of a wedding is the registry and eventually the presents thereof. We just got married and also registered for essential items like coffee makers. The Krups was our favorite, and as it turned out so it was for 3 of the guests...

Good basic coffee maker

by lisah25 , Nov 22 '05
Pros: Stainless steel Carafe won't break, keeps coffee hot. Easy to use. Good coffee.
Cons: Will leak if overfilled. Top is a bit tricky to line up to screw on.
I’ve had my Krups for about a year now. I bought it to replace a coffee-maker we got for signing up for Gevalia coffee, when I broke the glass liner in the carafe, and we couldn’t get a new one. I really wanted a coffee-maker that brews into a ...

Beautiful design -- good cup of coffee

by chadley25 , Jan 08 '05
Pros: Attractive design, fantastic aroma release, easy to use/clean, solidly-built carafe; good heat retention.
Cons: Brew water not quite hot enough, poor design on carafe pouring.
I picked up this coffee maker at a thrift store here in town, but it was in new condition, so perhaps it was an unwanted or duplicate wedding gift. In any event, I liked the way it looked, so I thought I'd try it out. Krups did well with this machine ...

Life is too short to drink bad coffee

by bigbadmaddad , Jun 26 '04
Pros: Water level indicator; Quiet brewing; Quick brewing; and Metal Carafe
Cons: May be too tall if you have low cabinets.
There is much more to good coffee than pouring hot water through ground coffee beans. If you drink coffee, if you need coffee, then you have to agree that life is much too short to suffer through bad coffee every morning. This Krups aroma control ...

Finally, warm coffee all day long!

by jjhaines76 , Mar 24 '05
Pros: Quiet, Quick, the carafe, turns off automatically
Cons: Unit is taller than most
The Krups Aroma Control Coffee Maker with the stainless steel carafe is by far the best coffee maker I have ever owned. It quickly and quietly brews a pot of 10 cups of coffee in about 5 minutes. The stainless steel carafe is easy to clean and ...

The Worst - at least six reasons why!!

by sseahawk , May 14 '05
Pros: Coffee is good but that might be because only very good coffee is used.
Cons: See numbers 1-6 above.
I bought this because it uses a carafe and we previously had a Krups pot which we liked. We don't love anything about this product. We have one like mentioned below. What do I not like about this? It is a poor, poor design for these six ...

Good, Bad, and the Ugly

by wizedude , Sep 15 '04
Pros: Stainless steel carafe, auto-timer.
Cons: Plastic lid and handle break/come loose easily. Water level indicator traps particles and accumulates residue.
I bought the Krups coffee maker because I had to replace the glass pot on my Braun coffee maker at least 3 times - it was delicate and cracked at the slightest tap, etc. I was also aware that replacement glass carafes were becoming scarce, and when I ...

Not As Good As I'd Hoped

by mrodenburg , Mar 21 '03
Pros: Attractive Design, Carafe, Programmable Timer
Cons: Weak Flavor, Unpredictable Blockage That Stops Brewing
My previous coffee maker was a Krups and produced great coffee. After 10 years, I finally broke down and got a new one. I've been disappointed with this new coffee maker from the very first.

I am a fan of strong, rich coffee. I buy good...

Clever for a coffee maker.

by fredhondel , Oct 01 '02
Pros: This machine keeps coffee hot and fresh for hours without loss of flavor.
Cons: Expensive, but worth it.
Using good coffee, most coffee makers produce good coffee. The Krups thermal pot, however, sets this appliance far above the rest, since it keeps you in fresh brew for 4-5 hours. With the timer activated, you can wake up to really good coffee first...

Consistently good coffee, but cheaply built.

by metapete , Apr 28 '06
Pros: Good tasting coffee every time
Cons: Only 10 cups, difficult to put lid on. Cheaply made.
After having used Mr Coffee for my last 3 makers and having lost the heating pad that keeps the coffee hot first on all 3 I decided to try a new brand and one that does not use a heating pad. The carafe on this Krups does a fair job of keeping the ...

Great Coffee (When It Brews)
by wariggle ,Dec 20 '03
Pros: Great coffee for hours
Cons: Poor electronics
We love the coffee from this coffee maker, but continually have a problem with the timer. It seems that very low voltage drops wipe out the timer and we don't have coffee when we get up in the morning. This happens several times per week. No other electronic clock in the house (we have several)suffers from this problem and I suspect it's the circuitry.

A GOOD ONE BY KRUPS
by bobghe ,Jan 06 '04
Pros: Timer Stainless carafe keeps coffee hot Stylish design
Cons: Does not have a grinder
The design is a beauty and the stainless carafe keeps the coffee hot.

The timer works great, I owned the coffee maker since May last year and it is working perfectly.

The basket feature allows me to clean the carafe easily

I love my coffee pot!

krups aroma control with s.s. carafe
by nubster02 ,Feb 05 '04
Pros: not many... looks o.k.
Cons: poor quality. leaked!!!!! price per quality!
pure junk! i made the purchase, and returned home to set up the machine. upon running water through the first time it leaked all over the place. it leaked out the bottom, and the seam close to the bottom. this machine was to replace another krups that only lasted less then 2 years.
so i think it's time to change brands. it also will not fit under most kitchen cabinets. for the price it seems to be rather cheaply made through the whole unit. after retunring it to the store i made the extra investment to move up to a capresso, and so far WOW what a joy!!!

Krup Carafe
by rgchrist ,Dec 01 '03
Pros: Makes coffee fast and keeps it fresh
Cons: The design of the handle is terrible and needs to be revised
We have had a continual problem with the handle on the carafe coming lose and finally breaking through the plastic handle. We have attempted to fix it several times, but it continues to eat away at the plastic handle and now has reached a point where it can no longer be repaired. The only option we were provided was to purchase a whole new carafe when all we need is a new handle. We're disappointed with the backup service provided by this company and will probably have to switch to another more dependable design coffee maker.

Type 229-4510 coffee maker
by rbye1 ,Dec 26 '03
Pros: Design, ease of cleaning, good taste and retention of hot coffee, thermal capability
Cons: Electronics is suspect and unless lid is removed, pouring is sloppy.
Pros: Design, ease of cleaning, taste of coffee, duration of heat, thermo capability is all superb but . . .
Cons: Pouring neatly is less than desirable and duration of brewing is stopped at midway point, needs to be switched on again, sometimes once or twice to fully brew to it’s entire length.
