This review is from: Krups Coffee Maker & GrinderI've been using this product for a few weeks now and in general, I am happy with it. It does make good coffee. Also, the conical burr grinder is quiet compared to other coffee grinders I have used and it produces a consistent grind. Futhermore, this coffee maker uses the V-type filters instead of the flat-bottom filters that Cuisinart and Capresso use which gives it an inherent advantage over those 2 products.There are 2 main shortcomings as far as I am concerned. First, I make only a few cups of coffee at at time and the coffee is not hot enough (I use powdered whitener instead of half and half so I don't cool it off). Secondly, when using the grinder, it does not produce enough grinds to make strong coffee. I find that setting cups to 10 and strength to 'strong' will make good coffee for 6 to 8 cups at most. I usually make 2 cups of coffee at at time so I set it to 4 cups and 'strong'. That seems to work OK.One other issue I have is it leaves grinds in the passage from the grinder to coffee basket. Fortunately, the cover to this passage is easily accessible and removable so it is not much work to interrupt the brewing process to clean the grinds into the coffee basket before continuing with brewing. To me, this is much less annoying than cleaning a separate coffee grinder after use.All in all, a good but not great product....This review is from: Krups Coffee Maker & GrinderThis coffee maker made the finest cup of coffee I have ever produced myself. Unfortunately, the heating element went out once and had to be repaired. About 3 months later the new element freaked out and heated the carafe hot enough to give me a second degree burn on my arm in about 2 nanoseconds. At that point I gave up. I still dream about the delicious coffee this beast produces....This review is from: Krups Coffee Maker & GrinderPurchased the coffee maker from a gourmet kitchen shop (wished we had paid amazon's price). The coffee pot spills all over the counter if you do not pour it at the perfect angle. We were not satisfied with the product, tried to return it but the gourmet kitchen shop had gone out of business (go figure). After 14 months the product just stopped working. When I contacted Krups Customer service they instructed me to ship the unit back at my cost, also there would be an intial $25.00 bench fee charge just to open the box when the shipment arrived. I have gone back to my 10 year old West Bend and will never purchase another Krups product....
