KitchenAid KCMS515OB Features
KitchenAid® Puts An End To Stale Coffee
Wondering if that last cup is going to taste like more tar and less like coffee? Rest easy. The professional-style stainless steel thermal carafe and electronic temperature control will keep your coffee fresher longer. If that's not enough, the Time Since Brew display will let you know at a glance how long it's been since you brewed that last pot.
Eye-Opening Results
Need to have your coffee wake up before you do? Easy enough with the KCM515's programmable brew cycle. Now you can crawl out of bed with respite knowing that the coffee's ready to go, even if you're not. The KCM515 even comes with auto shut-off, just in case you're the kind of person who's not firing on all cylinders until at least the 11th cup of coffee.
Do Everything Together
While you're jumping in the shower, the KCM515 will be showering your ground beans with its full-dispersion showerhead. (No lather and rinse required.)
Waste Not, Want Not
Don't waste your precious beans on a full pot of coffee when you only need a cup. The KCM515 allows you to brew a minimum of one to four cups. Keep waste to a further minimum with the gold tone filter. Easy to clean and fully reusable, the gold tone filter ends the paper-filter chase.

LOVE LOVE LOVE this machine!!!!,
By SilverLining05 (NY, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: KITCHENAID coffee maker 10 cup DIGITAL kcm-515 ST-STEEL
I am a coffee snob and have been looking for a replacement for my Cusinart grind and brew (which sucked!) which we got as a wedding present. I searched and read tons of reviews of all the machines available and wanted to spend around $100 for a quality machine. I bought this coffee maker from Bed Bath & Beyond using their 20% of coupons to meet my budget.
I just tried out the maker for the first time this morning and absolutely love the look, quality taste and long life of the hot brew!!! Reasons I chose this machine over others were: 1. Thermos Carafe, which keeps the coffee hot w/out scorching the coffee taste. - The opening of the Carafe was large enough to get your hand in there for easy cleaning. - The easy pour carafe which doesn't require you to push any button or twist the top to pour yourself a cupa - Coffee stayed hot even after 2 hours after brewing and tasted freshly brewed!!! 2. The grounds basket allows the use of the gold filter or paper. It is flat bottom basket which brews the grounds more evenly and results in better tasting coffee. There is a shower water dispenser which aid in the even water distribution. 3. The timer for programming morning coffee before work - There is a beeper which tells you when the brewing cycle is complete (this prevents against dribbling messes on the machine base when removing the carafe to pour a cup. The beeper is also by signal when getting ready in the mornings that there is 15 minutes before I have to hit the road!! - There is a delayed drip to pour a cup if your in a rush for your fix ;o) - There is an indicator which shows how much time has laps since the last brew 4. Easy to clean!! - The Cusinart Grind'n Brew was a pain in the arse to clean between brews cause the grinder will get moist during the brewing process and leave ground sludge in the grinder section! - The grounds basket in top shelf dish washer safe but the carafe must be hand washed which is no big deal because of the design of the lid and opening size is big enough to stick your sponge and hand inside. - Control buttons are flat and easy to wipe clean 5. It looks sleek and classy!!! Looks great on the countertop!!! - The design fits great under cabinets and the front water pour section allowed you to fill the reservoir easily w/out having to move the machine around to reach it. A few Tips for Thermal Carafe Users: - Preheat your thermal carafe to extend heat retention by filling with piping hot water from the sink for a few minutes before starting the brew process! People complain about these machines not keeping their coffee hot enough or for as long as claimed but it because people don't follow directions!!! - (to the previous reviewer) heat your cup of milk in the microwave for 30-40 second before pouring a cup of coffee to maximize the temp... its not rocket science to know that adding cold liquid to hot liquid will cool the over all temp ESPECIALY if you tend to had a lot of milk like I do!!!

perfect for ICED coffee,

This review is from: KITCHENAID coffee maker 10 cup DIGITAL kcm-515 ST-STEEL
My cuisinart grind & brew recently died so I've been shopping for a new coffee pot. (digression: cuisinart has the WORST customer service i've ever experienced in my life...) I've read on virtually every customer review website out there that the coffee for the java studio is only luke warm, but since I'm a big fan of kitchenaid's appliances I figured I'd still give it a chance - especially since I don't like my coffee super hot. I picked up the java studio nearly a week ago and it went back to the store yesterday. The coffee was barely luke warm, and 'preheating' the thermal carafe hardly made a difference at all. If the coffee isn't hot enough for someone who doesn't care for piping hot coffee, I can only imagine the frustration of those who do crave it piping hot. On the note of needing to 'preheat' a thermal carafe, this is simply rediculous. For all of cuisinart's faults, in the 3+ years I had my thermal grind & brew the coffee was ALWAYS piping hot and kept it's heat for hours (never needing to be 'preheated'). Needing to preheat a carafe renders an automatic coffeemaker useless - bottom line. Kitchenaid needs to rectify this situation ASAP if they want to continue to keep their loyal customers.
I swear by kitchenaid - the quality is amazing and the customer service is great. With that said, I'm now the owner of a Bunn Thermalbrew (which is WONDERFUL).

Save your money,

This review is from: KITCHENAID coffee maker 10 cup DIGITAL kcm-515 ST-STEEL
Although the coffee maker works well and makes good coffee, I would have rather spent $40 and got a Mr. Coffee. The coffee (in my opinion) isn't a lot better than what I have had with less expensive machines. The carafe is a good idea, but after an hour the coffee is only warm. It looks really good on the counter, but keep in mind that you are paying for the name.
