Grind and Brew Coffee Maker (10-c.) by Krups

I retired the Cuisinart Grind and Brew after it began leaking profusely. So I thought about all of the things I disliked about it besides the leaking at the end. <br>It had a drippy spout on the thermal pot. It never made hot coffee. Ever. The gound coffee chute got all steamed and built up. Hard to clean.<br><br>The Krups addresses it all. The coffee is hot. It's not thermal, but I'll take that chance. The spout does not drip. No more little puddles every time I pour. The grinding chute is mechanically closed once brewing is complete. No steam, no buildup. <br><br>Folks have complained of the ambiguous control settings, but you know, I am a creature of habit. Mine is set. I make the same size pot each day with the exact same coffee and I can tell you that it is perfect every time. I recommend this even thouth the price is really high.<br>

Unlike some of their other products, this is is a real winner (so far) from Krups! It quickly make a perfect pot of coffee. I have had other Krups machines that brewed way too slowly. My only knock on this machine is that the time clock is in Military (24 Hour) Time, which was confusing at first. Being German-made, they obviously haven't started making machines designed for US sales just yet but I'm sure they are on the way!

This is the best coffee maker I have purchased so far. I like the fact that it grinds the beans and it tastes the same every time you make a cup.

When shopping for this coffee maker I chose this one beause it said the temp could be adjusted, and since that is the one complaint my son had with other coffee maker, "needed to be hotter", I chose this one becuase the info said it was adjustable grind, temperature and flavor. But once i received it and looked inside NOWHERE in the instruction manual does it say anything about adjustable temp. I was very unhappy with this. But since I also bought the milk frother that heats the milk that may compensate for it. we will see.

This coffee maker has three settings so you can make coffee the way you like it. The best part is you can set the timer so that the coffee is ready when you wake up!
