Pros:
Programmable,Good coffee,Attractive |

Cons:
Pricey I had to buy a new coffee maker on the spur of the moment after my Mr. Coffee maker, of 32 years, went to "coffee maker heaven" (RIP).
I did no research before going to the store. There weren't very many models to choose from at the store that I went to. Though I have only made two pots of coffee with mine so far, I feel like I made a pretty good choice.
I chose this coffee maker because it has a thermal carafe, the size of the pot, it's programmable, and it's attractive looks.
I think that the pot pours well, but you do pretty much have to tip it upside down to get the last drops out. Other reveiws I read elsewhere stated difficulty in programming, plastic odor and taste, and air bubbles in the water level viewer. I have not had any problem with any of these things at all.

Pros:
Stainless steel carafe |
|
|
|
Cons:
none that I am aware of This Krups runs circles around my previous B&D coffee maker.
I do not have to bleach the Krup's lid (to the carafe) like I had to do with the B&D. The B&D had mold all inside the lid, and it was a job to get it out.
My coffee is hot with this Krup's, unlike the luke warm temp of the B&D.
The Krups has a stainless steel carafe, vs the glass carafe of the B&D.
You can't go wrong with this coffee maker.

Pros:
Makes you appear affluent |
|
|
|
Cons:
Makes you feel stupid Poorly designed and executed. The principal problem is that air bubbles form when you pour water in the tank. There is no simple way to measure water. I took back the first 2 assuming a quality control problem but it fails and it fails consistently.
The carafe is also built in such a way that it has to be turned completely over to pour out the last cup of coffee. I've never purchased such a poorly designed and manufactured product from what I assumed was a reputable company. It's like a Rolex you buy on the street that looks swell but doesn't tell time. I got this applaince paying retail from a trustworthy vendor. As long as you don't drink coffee you'll have a stylish accessory

Cons:
pricey If a coffee maker can make one feel demeaned, it may be the fault of the user, not the machine.
I always that assumed a full coffee pot of water was required to brew a near same amount of coffee (when combined with fine ground coffee, and taking into account evaporation that occurs throughout the brewing process).
I guess I'm just old-fashioned that way. Anyway...
In a market filled with low-end, plastic leak machines, the Krups stands out in terms of high quality and, hopefully, given the hefty price tag, durability.

Pros:
who knows? |
|
|
|
Cons:
machine kept shutting off, so I never made coffee The machine would work for about ten seconds, and shut off. I had to keep pressing the on button, which would get me ten more seconds. The customer help person couldn't help.
Back it went to the store.
Also - the instruction book had tiny print, very hard to read, and stingy with words.
