Product Description

Amazon.com Review

By steeping ground coffee for nearly 2 minutes to begin the brewing process, this coffee maker delivers up to 10 cups of full-flavored coffee and then keeps it warm in an insulated thermos-carafe for hours. The thermos-carafe seals in heat during the brewing process and afterward to lock in flavor. This eliminates the need for a warming plate, which can turn coffee bitter. For making wake-up coffee, the machine's programmable clock-timer can be set up to 24 hours in advance. There's also an automatic interrupter that halts coffee flow for 20 seconds during the brewing cycle if the thermos-carafe is removed for a quick pour. For best results, remove the carafe from the base when the brewing process is complete, sealing off the carafe and insuring hot coffee. This sleek coffee maker measures 8-1/2 by 15-1/2 inches high by 8-1/2 inches wide by 10-1/4 inches deep. --Fred Brack

This review is from: Krups 199-7D Aroma Control 10-Cup Programmable Thermal Coffeemaker, White (Kitchen)

Nice carafe ,good idea but the brewing process does not work . The coffee does not drip all the way thru into the carafe. It is hard to pour the water into the top as the opening is too narrow and the water runs all over the place. I have had a Krups coffeemaker for years and it worked fine ,but this one is a bad design, and doesn't even work.

... When I got it home and tried it w/water I noticed that the water kept running out when the pot was removed, not just dripping. To make a long story shorter...the hole at the end of the basket was plugged w/plastic that was not cleaned out in the molding process. As a result the water/coffee simply filled the basket and ran out the overflow hole. One would have assumed that it was the thermostatically controlled "flavor Valve" that was doing this as the directions say it won't drip for about two minutes. That is why many people find a basket full of coffee when brewing is done...it is not high enough to go out the overflow and cannot flow out the bottom as the hole is plugged. Once I removed the plastic plug the unit worked fine. Seems to keep the coffee plenty hot for me - but that is personal taste. If you want it scalding hot make it on the stove, a thermal carafe won't do it and a hot plated glass carafe loses its ability to heat extra hot quickly. Would have rated thiis 5 stars but the quality control at Krups is obviously ()...or they know of the problem and won't modify the manufacturing process to fix it!!!

This coffee maker seemed like a great idea - the coffee brews straight into the thermos, so you don't have to decant it into a thermos or keep it on the hot plate the entire day. However, because the water is only heated for a few seconds, you end up with coffee which is simply not hot enough. I like my coffee to be just too hot to drink when I pour it. I drink it black, but if you like to add milk, you definitely need it hotter as the milk will cool it down even more.

The design of this machine is simply beautiful, but I ended up returning it to the store because of the temperature of the coffee. I exchanged it for the Krups Crystal Arome Plus Time, which has very similar features and design, but brews the coffee on a hot plate. I recommend this second machine - it's 20 bucks cheaper and 20 times better.
