Krups Aroma Control F199 10-Cup Coffee Maker

Pros: pretty
Cons: Drives me crazy every time I need a cup of coffee

Let me preface this by saying that it is really rare that I have any kind of strong feeling about a kitchen appliance. I tend to look at these things on a works / doesn’t work type of basis. As long as my toaster still spits out toast and my blender ...

Pros: Excellent taste, no burned coffee.
Cons: Somewhat difficult to clean.

The Krups F199 is a coffee maker features a stew & brew cycle and no hot plate. It brews quickly and makes excellent coffee. Basics The Krups F199 is a simple coffee maker that uses a stainless steel carafe to keep the coffee hot. It accepts ...

Pros: Thermos keeps coffee warm for a few hours.
Cons: It's over-designed, hard to fill without spilling water, impossible to clean, makes rather weak coffee.

Every day for 10 years I used Krups' predecessor to this model. It was a wonderful coffeemaker, consisting of a thermal carafe, a plastic filter holder that fit into the neck of the carafe, and the heating unit with clock and timer. When coffee...

Pros: K-Billy's super sounds of the 70's
Cons: Terrible driving mechanic, graphics are awful, A.I is imbicilic

When I heard that one of my all time favorite movies was going to be turned into a game, I was a little skeptical, I'm sure it's not a mystery that movie to game transitions aren't successful. Reservoir dogs does unfortunately fall into this category ...

Pros: Excellent taste, no burned coffee.
Cons: Somewhat difficult to clean.

Pros: Style, does not burn coffee
Cons: very weak coffee, coffee does not stay hot, needs special filter

We bought this machine because we wanted a coffee maker that brews directly into a thermal carafe and believed Krups to be a quality manufacturer. We were very disappointed.
The coffee is extremely weak. The mechanism to keep the hot water longer...

Pros: When it works-WHEN it works-it is good.
Cons: It clogs up and overflows, makes a giant mess.

Well I am surprised to read I am not alone in the frustration of this coffee maker. The filter basket overflows and then goes onto the counter. Just what you want to wake up to if you had the timer on, huh? It did not do it right away-like others, ...

Pros: Keeps coffee warm for hours, nice flavor release technology, and auto brew timer.
Cons: Expensive, noisy, construction/materials does not match price or name.

After searching for a coffee maker that has a thermal carafe, I finally settled on the Krups Aroma Control Thermal Coffeemaker (#199). I purchased it because of Krups reputation, the aesthetics of the 199 and the thermal carafe. As I opened the box, I...

Pros: Automatic Settings, Coffee stays hot for hours, durable carafe
Cons: Clumsy lid, expensive

I like this coffeemaker quite a bit for several reasons. First off, I am tired of breaking glass carafes. The carafe is made with durable plastic and is thermal, which leads to the next positive feature. The thermal carafe allows the coffee to stay hot...

Pros: Steel {unbreakable } caraf. Quiet brewing. Deep basket for some strong brew if needed.
Cons: Must be careful when filling the water tank.

I purchased the Krups Aroma Control coffee maker { the one with the stainless steel pot } almost two weeks ago. I've used it about 9 times so far. I bought it because I like the idea of coffee in a caraf instead of coffee sitting on a burner going stale ...

Pros: Avoids burnt coffee. Good thermos.
Cons: Fatally bad design of the thermos lid.

In the old days I used a garish orange filter coffee maker. As soon as the drip stopped I would switch off the heating element. The coffee cooled quickly, but if I wanted a warm cup I'd microwave it. Sacrilege no doubt, but it worked well and the coffee...

Pros: Nice-looking, good concept for thermal carafe.
Cons: Poorly designed, leakage.

We just bought the product and have been testing it. We'll be taking it back immediately- paid $89 for it, and think we can get something better.

Specifically, there is leakage of water at the base of the unit. Most troubling was me having to...

Pros: Solid brand name (I thought).
Cons: Exploding carafes, metal chips and glass shards all over the place.

I received this as a gift, and was relatively happy with the machine, though coffee could have brewed a bit hotter. However, within a year I noticed that the thermal glass lining in the carafe began flaking off. Like a fool, I just bought another one ...

Pros: Brew coffee at breakfast and it's still warm at lunch!
Cons: Noisy as the dickens! Awkward to use.

I thought that this would be the perfect coffee maker for me since I never drink all of the coffee that I brew by the time it goes cold. This coffee maker does a great job of keeping coffee warm. In fact, the coffee I brew before leaving for work is...

Pros: The carafe is nice.
Cons: Coffee tastes like water!

If you like brown-colored water, that's what this machine does for you! It only *smells* like coffee but doesn't taste like it, no matter how much ground coffee you put in it. I wasted a ton of coffee grinds thinking that I was putting an incorrect...
