When i bought this in 1994 it sold for $50 and the problem i have had is this has not died on me yet!!!!!!It has a swing out basket,on/off switch.a basic model with aroma select that really does not do much!Pretty okay for the occasional coffee drinker.I would buy this if you are looking for something very basic,(very unlike today's models),very simple,easy to maintain.This will work well if you want to give your college bound kid something basic for his/her dorm a new one instead of a old one!

What a great coffee maker for a competitive price! Enjoy a wonderfully "hot" brewed cup of coffee every time with exceptional flavor because of the great hot water delivery over the grinds. The brewing basket is a great addition. Supplier deliver was timely and the package and package arrived in "excellent condition. Recommend the Braun with five stars. Post script to my comment...coffee maker went to coffee maker heaven at exactly one year of age..switch gave way at the 11 month mark and had to be replaced almost a year to the date of purchase. Gave us good service for one year.

I was surprised that the unit was so fundamentally basic, in its design and use. This is "bare-bones", and "no frills" done to perfection. The coffee maker is made of very thin plastic, and the pins that hold the lid on are about 1/8" thick. I do not think they would break unless they were twisted. The coffee maker failed to work after the 1st pot of coffee and I sent it back. I wouldn't even recommend it to send with your kid to college, because it's lack of a auto-shut off feature makes it a safety hazard. I really believe that Consumer Reports got it wrong by rating this so highly.

Unless your after a "no-frills" coffeemaker, I would not recommend this pot. I have since purchased a 12 cup Cuisinart DCC-1200, which has more features, and is a quality product. It is worth the extra money.
