Krups KT4065 Precision Stainless Steel Precision Thermal Coffee Maker 10-c. Review

Krups KT4065 Precision Stainless Steel Precision Thermal Coffee Maker 10-c....but this may be the worst coffee maker ever designed. I've cleaned up my last overflow and am heading out to replace it. Yes, it looks great, and when it works, it makes good coffee. I was even willing to put up with the difficult water reservoir and the hard-to-read water gauge, but there is a problem with the design of the small flaps in the lid and the coffee ends up everywhere but in the pot. And today the small plastic tab that makes it possible to open the lid broke off. Could anything more go wrong with this design?

Krups KM1000 10-Cup Stainless-Steel Coffeemaker Review

Krups KM1000 10-Cup Stainless-Steel CoffeemakerSome have commented in their reviews that the coffeepot drips, that the pot itself is difficult to remove and replace into its alcove, or that the coffeemaker spontaneously turns on. I value the consumer reviews posted here and usually heed them, but I loved the look of this coffeemaker so much and could find no other brands to match the styling and features of the KM1000 that I decided to risk it and order.So far, I have experienced none of these problems, and have been very happy with my purchase.The Krups KM1000 is a great little coffeemaker that not only makes a great-tasting, piping hot cup of coffee but looks good while doing it.Programming is easy and the price is right.My only fault with Krups is that not even a sample pack of cone filters was included with the coffeemaker as a courtesy, so be prepared with size 4 cone filters if you want to start brewing out of the box.

Product Description:
Housed in durable stainless steel with a sleek graphite finish, this 10-cup coffeemaker provides an array of convenient features. Front and center, the machine offers an illuminated blue LCD analog-style clock and simple push-button controls for hour, minute, on/off, program, and auto. Easily set it to brew wake-up coffee or to have a pot ready and waiting to serve with dessert--without having to get up from the table in the middle of dinner. A 10-cup glass carafe with a generous stay-cool handle and a drip-free spout comes included for graceful serving. Removing the carafe pauses the brewing cycle and allows for pouring a quick cup mid-brew. In addition, the unit comes with a translucent water tank with dual water-level windows, a removable filter basket for easy cleaning, and a sophisticated look that will nicely compliment any kitchen decor. The coffeemaker measures 7-1/4 by 11-1/4 by 13-5/8 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.

Krups KM8105 12-Cup Die-Cast Programmable Coffeemaker Review

Krups KM8105 12-Cup Die-Cast Programmable CoffeemakerI really wanted to love this pot, because of its looks and the fact that it did brew really good coffee.But it had annoying issues I could not get over.The carafe is designed like a dribble glass.Nomatter how careful we were, we could not pour from a full carafe or an almost empty carafe without spilling. Second, while using coffee ground specifically for an electric drop pot, we found that the machine consistently made a mess when brewing a full pot - the grounds would overflow the basket & be pushed up through the steam vents on the top of the machine.Also the machine I received did not support the advertised 2 automatic settings feature, even though the Krups box listed this as well as the Amazon add.The manual did not list this feature and the simple and intuitive programming menu didn't allow setting more than one start time.

I was grateful for Amazon's return policy, which made it easy to send this disappointing machine back.

Product Description:
Not only a sleek-looking addition to any kitchen counter, this commercial-quality coffeemaker also brews up to 12 cups of great-tasting coffee. The appliance features a durable die-cast metal body with a powerful 1100-watt heating system for reaching optimal brewing temperatures between 195 to 205 degrees F--great for extracting all the flavor without the bitterness. The unit's front-loading coffee drawer opens with a pull of the soft-touch handle and closes with a magnetic safety lock, offering easy access to the removable brew basket inside. It also provides a removable water tank with an integrated folding handle for easy transport to the sink for filling. Best of all, its large LCD screen provides an oversized angled display with soft-touch buttons for simple programming. Set the appliance to automatically brew wake-up coffee at a certain time on weekday mornings and at a later time on weekend mornings; its adjustable keep-warm mode allows for keeping coffee hot for one, two, or three hours before shutting off automatically. A 12-cup glass carafe comes included, complete with a stay-cool handle and drip-free pour spout. Other highlights include a water-filtration system for superior coffee flavor, an electronic descaling indicator, and an anti-drip system that prevents coffee from flowing with the drawer open during the brewing cycle. The coffee machine measures 8-1/2 by 8-3/4 by 13-1/4 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.

Krups KT4065 10-Cup Thermal Coffeemaker Review

Krups KT4065 10-Cup Thermal CoffeemakerWe have used Krups thermal carafe coffee makers for years, needing to replace them every few years because of hard water problems.We bought a Zojirushi BD-15 and it leaked water from the reservoir like a sieve, from the base of the unit.We then bought this Krups and were disappointed as soon as we started to use it.First, the lid of the coffee maker pops open to expose the basket and the fill chamber, which is a small opening in the back right corner.This isn't so bad by itself, except that you can't fill the reservoir with the carafe because the lid sufficiently obstructs the fill opening, particularly if you use the carafe which needs to be almost fully inverted because of its design.We had to use a separate container for this step.The opening of the carafe is so narrow (2.5") you can't put a hand through it to clean it.

The clincher was that the coffee maker overflowed onto the counter as it was brewing (not from the top of the basket, but from the top of the carafe).Even with careful positioning of the carafe, the coffee would not enter the carafe without some cajoling. This was a hit or miss proposition and required us to watch carefully.We are going to send this model back.They should bring back the Model 229, which was a much better design.
