| sonoman's Full Review: Braun AromaDeluxe KF 550 10-Cup Coffee Maker |
After much handwringing and reviews from Consumer Reports in hand I hit the stores and slowly ruled out one coffeemaker after another. I was looking for a machine with a small footprint, easy access for pouring and an attractive design.
Price, within reason (under $75) was also a consideration but figuring that by averaging how many cups I should get out of a good machine I justified spending more if necessary.
I hit on this machine as it seemed to fit most of criteria, and although I basically got what I needed I failed to remember that since I'm the only coffee drinker in the house I would mostly be making half-pots.
This machine doesn't have a 1-4 cup setting (which translates to about 2 cups in the real world).
The result was that I almost couldn't add enough coffee to the basket to get a strong cup. The water flows quickly and mostly thru the center of the filter, thus ignoring a lot of the ground I'd added.
Disappointed...had to return it...still searching.
