KRUPS Coffee Maker 10 Cups Simply Brew Stainless Steel Drip Coffee Maker, 900 Watts Coffee Filter, Drip Free, Dishwasher Safe Pot , Black & Silver

I'm a coffee enthusiast. With any hobby, you can spend SO MUCH MONEY, and you reach a point of diminishing returns. Coffee is no exception. However, this coffee maker meets the perfect mix of value and performance. It is easy to use, and every cup of coffee is consistent, hot, and flavorful, providing you make it in the same way. The machine itself looks quite nice. The three buttons, right to left are: Power - turns it on. Turns it off Half Capacity - This does something with the warming plate when you make a smaller pot. I make 750mL a day, which comes to be 5 cups on this machine. I keep it turned on. Blooming - This alters the brew cycle to pour some water over the grounds... pause for a while, then brews the rest of the pot. I'm undecided on this feature, but my girlfriend prefers it. Use and cleanup is easy. 1. Pour water into the water reservoir (max 1250mL) Tip: I use a pitcher that only ever contains clean water for this. Instead of using the carafe like is common. This helps everything stay cleaner, longer. 2. Add beans into a cone filter. Put that filter in the container. 3. Turn it on. Wait a bit. Drink Coffee 4. Toss grounds, rinse stuff off, let it dry for tomorrow If you're this far in the review, you're probably someone looking to increase their coffee game. And you've probably read about ratios of beans to water etc. 1:16, 1:17, 1:18 etc. I actually prefer mine on the weaker side (so I can drink more without getting jittery!) And with quality ingredients and equipment, you don't need to make a cup of sludge to have any flavor. My preferred ratio 1:18, or with numbers -- 40g of beans. 750mL of water. Finally if you're still reading, here's my personal ranking of what makes good coffee: 1. Good water 2. Good whole bean coffee 3. Grinding your beans right before brewing in a 4. Good grinder 5. Measure your beans and water and keep it consistent 6. The coffee maker So yeah, it makes a difference, but not as much as like the first 3 do. This was the last piece of coffee equipment I upgraded, from just an old Mr. Coffee drip, and it is better. but not as night & day difference as switching to whole beans ground early.

I have made coffee with the Krups coffee maker for the past 7 mornings. Over the past decade, I've relied on a French Press and have always ground my own coffee beans. It took a while to figure out the right proportions, especially since I needed to use a finer grind. I've finally adapted to the Krups. The coffee maker looks good and fits well on the counter. It is compact and doesn’t overwhelm the area. This is my routine: I use 40 grams of quality (Peet’s) whole bean coffee which I grind on a medium setting. I fill the carafe with 48 ounces of water (1420ml) which I weigh (1360 gm) so I can have a consistent tasting cup of coffee every morning. It took several days to get the proportions correct. Using a French Press required more coffee beans to achieve the desired strength. (Forty-eight ounces of water brings the top past the maximum line and just to the bottom of the little hole in the water tank. I had no problem with this at all.) If you are a coffee enthusiast, and taste and consistency matter to you, it is important to use premium coffee beans that you grind immediately before use, fresh cold water and the same proportions each time (adjusted to your taste.) There is no more fine silt at the bottom of my cup that you get with a French Press. The coffee brews fast, though I haven't tried the ½ anti-drip function that makes a slower, stronger pot. I find the strength with no anti-drip to be just fine. Having coffee with the perfect strength matters to me—it shouldn’t be overpowering, but it also can’t be watery or too weak. The coffee is rich and robust, and I think the Krups machine enhances its flavor well. I have used the “blooming button” each time because I was intrigued by the “extra fullness and character” that the instruction booklet claims the blooming provides. The concept of releasing some water to soak the beans and then continuing the brewing process seemed to make sense. You can try both ways and see if there is a difference. Clean-up is quick. You just slide out the filter holder containing the grinds and dump them. Then wash the carafe. For me, there is a negative with this coffee maker. When I read 8-cup coffee maker I thought 8 American cups where a cup is usually a mug or at the very least, 8 oz. Not the case with this coffee maker. We are two people. Between us, we drink at least two full mugs of coffee each morning. One carafe of this coffee maker makes eight 4oz. cups. Every morning, I need to repeat the process twice since I brew a carafe and a half to ensure there's enough coffee for both of us. This coffee maker would be perfect if the water tank were larger so that a larger carafe of coffee could be brewed. There is one final note. There is no mention of coffee filters in the write up on Amazon so I didn’t know that even 1 or 2 complimentary filters were not included. Hence, a run to the grocery store the first morning. Also, no mention of the filter type in the instruction booklet either, although there is a Q & A on the Amazon page where it explains it uses a paper filter, cone type, #4. Be careful, the instruction booklet has a few typos and partial sentences that you need to use common sense to fill in. Enjoy your coffee!!

This basic Krups 10-cup coffee maker is fine. Disregard the A.I. voice from Amazon because it incorrectly says this model has a delay timer and offers the choice of 3 brew strengths. This model has no such features, but brews up to 10 cups of coffee at a time. You can use the included permanent filter or a #4 paper filter. The model shuts off automatically after an hour and has a smaller footprint than most other 10-cup machines. That's why I bought it. It's a good basic coffee maker. Note: I bought this machine through "Amazon Resale," always a good way to save money. It was listed in "Used--Mint" condition. That sounds like "Like New" to me. Since it was missing a spoon and I could see a few coffee grounds on the filter and machine--just a little bit--I would have listed it as in "Excellent Condition." This isn't a deal-breaker for me. I'm keeping it, hoping it lasts for as long as my last Krups machine--13 years, until I dropped the glass carafe on the floor.

I am reviewing the smaller 5-cup coffee maker. It is simple and it works really well doing what it should do -- brew a delicious cup of coffee. However, be warned that the 5 "cups" is 5 oz., so a full pot brewed is not going to take care of 5 people. It will provide 2 large cups of coffee, perfect for a couple.

I have purchased this small little coffee maker back in 2020 during the pandemic and I'm still using it 4 years later! It functions perfectly, it has never broken down, extremely easy to clean and no hassle! I have been meaning to post a review for so many years now, but I had forgotten to do it until recently. If you are looking for a small coffee maker that doesn't take too much counter space, looks stylish with silver accent, comes with a re-usable filter, makes quick coffee and is easy to clean, you must purchase this one. You don't even need to think about whether to buy it, it is cheap and will last you years! For the price range, this is definitely a steal. I have attached a photo where it shows how small the coffee maker actually is in comparison to a ninja blender and a coffee mug from Ikea. I have been enjoying this coffee maker and I hope others can do the same. I wanted to mention that this is ideal for one person, mainly if you need a couple of cups on a daily basis. For the size, quality of coffee it makes, functionality and aesthetics, I rate this 5/5!

This product is 110V and has what looks like a US plug on it. It is not suitable for use in the UK. The product is listed on Amazon.co.uk. As it was an electrical product listed on the Amazon UK site i stupidly assumed it would work in the UK. I am now 3 conversations deep with Amazon customer support. There is no issue returning it, however the returns label is to a destination in Kentucky in the US. Given that i am in Edinburgh, I did contact Amazon to ask if that was the most efficient way to return the item. I'm still in the chat - explaining. What ? - the product ? - that looks fine - we spent a long time searching for machines before finally settling on this one. What idiots we were to check it wasn't going to be listed with a US plug on an UK website.
