We have used Braun Coffeemaker for many years and were unable to find it in the local stores. We like the styling of the new one and the ease of use. It makes perfect coffee every time and keeps it hot. Delivery was prompt. We highly recommend this product.

Seems like other, similar coffeemakers at lower prices should make good coffee too. Sad experience says they don't. Have no idea why Braun coffeemakers make better coffee, but they do.

this is a great coffeemaker. easy to use. the coffee tastes great and will last for at least an hour.

I purchased this item as a replacement for a Braun model that lasted over 8 years. Was Disappointed before I even plugged it in. I should have saved some money and used a tea strainer and boiling water to make my coffee.

Pros:
1. Reasonably priced (if you expect Braun quality, but you'll be disappointed, as it's more of a toy quality)
2. Uses cone filters (the only way to go)

Cons:
1. Cheap bendable plastic (less than 1/2 the weight of the prior comparable model I owned)
2. Filter basket latch that won't co-operate (either won't open, won't latch or pops open during the middle of the night)
3. Spillable carafe (Braun never got that one right, can't pour from carafe without spilling all over the counter)
4. Prior model had multiple hot water openings to shower the grounds with hot water, this one has on hole; makes for a disappointing cup of coffee.
5. Water reservoir overflow hole in back DIRECTLY above electrical cord connection. I'm expecting to electrocute myself one of these mornings when I'm pouring water into it prior to becoming fully awake.

I can't believe Bruan would put their name on this shoddy appliance. I wonder where it was manufactured......

I now use it only to brew tea for iced tea (gotta get some use out of it before it shorts out)

Stay Away !!

We had a Braun coffee-maker for 15 years, worked perfectly & made delicious coffee every time. It just plain wore out, so we replaced it with another Braun, which is every bit as XLNT as the original.
