Krups FMF4-14 10-Cup Coffeemaker, Black and Stainless Steel Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We have had a Krups carafe type coffee maker and a Krups espresso machine that we were very happy with, so when our ten-year-old coffeemaker died (perforation in the heating element that was unfixable, but after almost ten years of twice daily use), we didn't even think of going to anything but another Krups machine. Two days after our old Krups machine died, we had a new Krups FMF4 on the counter. Two weeks later, I can say unequivocably that it is junk. We've given Krups products as gifts before, and the only silver lining in this cloud is that we didn't give anyone one of these. Leaks, nonfunctioning (bubbles) unreadable water level indicator, cheap plastic, strong plasticy taste to coffee even after running several cleaning rounds, terrible ergonomics (can't really easily empty the pot), slow pour, drips, on and on. I honestly can't believe that a company that has made such good products in the past could fall so far so fast. We're taking it back asap, and I'll not buy another Krups product. This product functions like a no-name cheapo coffee maker, but at a premium price.

Combining appealing and distinctive design with a powerful, fully programmable brewing system, this 1100-watt, double-walled stainless-steel coffee maker provides fast and efficient brewing. The unit's bright blue, illuminated LED control panel is easy to read, and its programmable timer/auto-on sets the start time each day. The appliance is designed with a stainless-steel soft-eject filter holder for easily adding ground coffee, and a magnified water-level indicator for high visibility. A built-in water filtration system removes chlorine and lime scale build-up, while an electronic de-scaling indicator measures brew time and calculates when de-scaling is necessary. For added safety and convenience, the machine's 60-ounce water reservoir has a detection feature that shuts the unit off if the water reservoir is completely empty.
With a no-drip spout and an ergonomic handle for easy pouring, the coffee machine's 10-cup vacuum thermal stainless-steel carafe maintains flavor and temperature longer. For days when less coffee is desired, an aroma switch can be set to maximize flavor for one to three cups. A popular pause-and-serve function allows for pouring a cup midbrew, and an audible signal indicates when brewing is complete. To keep coffee warm from one to five hours, the unit also offers an adjustable-time heating plate with a default of two hours. The stylish and efficient coffee machine features a compact design and carries a one-year warranty.
