I've had my coffee maker for years. I honestly can't say how long we've had our coffee machine -- it has to be three years at the very least and it could easily be five years old. The other day I was bouncing around on Epinions, looking at reviews on ...

Pros: Style, features, size, speed, quality.
Cons: Coffee becomes bitter quickly.

Pros: Plenty of useful features. Easy to use.
Cons: Hard to find in stores. Short life.

Well, I purchased my Braun about a year ago when my Mr Coffee burst into flames on my counter top. I wanted to give it some use before I wrote my review. When I found myself in need of a new coffee maker, only one name immediately came to mind, Braun. ...

Pros: Nice looks (stainless basket KF590), Compact design, great carafe.
Cons: Weak coffee in small batches. Sounds like a hissing space monster when finishing.

After looking at a number of coffeemakers and having purchased a Krups FME4, I thought I'd made the right decision. WRONG! The result was an extended nightmare of three returns to the store and four or five returns to the factory due to peeling hotplates ...

Pros: good hot coffee fast
Cons: Not the cheapest - but you get what you pay for

When I moved to a new place, a couple of well meaning friends got me the deluxe Cuisinart Coffee Maker with grinder and thermal carafe as a housewarming gift. Well I hated that thing - hard to clean, had to hand dry it, didn't keep or make the coffee hot ...

Cons: Leaks at the base, Poor customer service from Gillette

Cons: slight carafe spillage if you aren't careful

I love my Braun KF580 Coffee Maker. I was fairly happy with my old cheap beater coffee maker but when the carafe was accidentally broken I decided to step it up a notch and buy a better caffeine dispenser. After a lot of research and browsing a ...

Pros: heats up immediately, great taste, small size, quality filter
Cons: When pouring the water in, for some reason water always spills out!

I purchased this product after owning a Delonghi coffee maker that lasted less than a year. After that happens, you don't want to buy another anything from that maker. Do the appliance people realize that? I've had this item for almost a year now. ...

Pros: Water filter, adjustable warmer plate time.
Cons: No strength selector. A “cup” is 4.4 ounces. Right.

I bought this KF 580 to replace a KF 180 (inherited by my daughter) which replaced a KF 187 (best coffee maker I ever owned). This is a solid machine, comparable to the KF 180. It makes a nice hot cup of coffee. I miss the strength selector (the first ...

Pros: Taste, Style, Ease of cleaning and operation.
Cons: Doesn't keep coffee that hot. Burned plastic smell after 2 years. Carafe needs work.

I bought this coffee maker about two years ago. I wouldn't normally spend 90 bucks on a coffee maker, but since I was given a gift card... I thought I'd give it a try. At first, I loved it. I immediately could tell a difference between this unit and ...

Pros: Nice style, easy to use, programmable, gold filter, pause n/ serve, auto off
Cons: Water level in pot not exact to resevoir, glass carafe

Pros: great coffee flavor, nice and hot, good filter
Cons: For some reason, when pouring the water in, the water drips out on the counter

I bought this product over 6 months ago and kept the box in case there was a need to take it back. The last coffee maker I bought was a Delongi and was broken in the first year and I was very unhappy with that. This one seems to be ideal. ...

Pros: Braun name (but probably doesn't matter anymore)
compact design
4-hour shut off
Cons: flimsy material, erratic mechanicals, small carafe, leaky carafe

My previous coffeemaker was the Braun 12-cup (FlavorSelect), which I had for 12 years. It was a great workhorse coffeemaker. Solidly built and reliable. When the warming plate cracked, I tossed it and blithely looked to replace it. Little did I know how ...
