| daventracy's Full Review: Braun AromaDeluxe KF 550 10-Cup Coffee Maker |
We purchased the Braun AromaDeluxe KF 550 last holiday season and have loved it since. There are a lot of standard coffee maker features on this but also a few extras we find very convenient.
This coffee maker does offer the larger 10 cup water basin in the back which quickly heats the water. The water filter system is wonderful and the Brita cartridge does last for three months in our home. The replacements are also not to expensive to buy. The coffee filter system is so easy to use and clean as well. Both the tray and the reusable gold tone screen filter come completely off of the coffee maker and rinse clean in a matter of seconds. The gold tone filter in a plus to this system as I hated buying the filters each week. There is an easy to read water level indicator on the side in the back of the coffee maker.
The comfort grip handle on the pot does allow you to pour the coffee more easily, but I still find I have the slow pour drips going on when you near the top of your cup. I wish there was a pot that didn't spill toward the end of the pour.
The pause to serve feature only works when it wants to that is the con of this coffee maker. Sometimes it works fine other it doesn't work at all.
The warmer plate still looks brand new, unlike some other coffee makers I have owned that rust out in a few months. It still keeps the coffee perfectly hot for up to two hours and then there is a auto off switch. I find this very convenient as well.
The filter door does have a neat release switch that pops it open. The auto start timer does work really well and is also easy to set the time for.
I think this coffee maker does a great job for the price paid.
