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
Product Description
Krups' latest development in the field of making coffee is Flavor Release Technology. What the heck is that you might rightfully ask? It allows hot water to saturate coffee grounds longer than traditional coffeemakers, resulting in a richer tasting, not bitter coffee, chockablock full of robust flavor. Better still, this delectable brew will be ready and waiting for you thanks to the programmable timer. Should your schedule allow you to dally over the morning paper, the hermetically sealed, double-wall insulated carafe maintains your coffee at the correct temperature for hours.

IMPORTANT: Get stainless version - Otherwise: Best pot I've ever owned!,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Krups 229-4G Aroma Control 10-Cup Coffeemaker with Thermal Carafe, Black and Brushed Stainless Steel (Kitchen)
I just got mine in the mail the other day. A little research and word-of-mouth told me it made great coffee, and guess what? It does! The first pot we brewed (after running some plain water through it once) was the best pot of drip coffee I've ever made at home. We took the pot out as soon as it stopped brewing as suggested by the other reviwes. The coffee was just a little too hot to drink black immediately and stayed warm and fresh for 3 or 4 hours. We were also able to pour from a full caraf without spilling anything. We tried the automatic timer, and it worked flawlessly. The smell of coffee woke me up before the alarm.One important note: if you are concerned about some of the reviews where people said the caraf broke, don't worry. If you get the "Stainless" version (select "Stainless" as the color) it comes with an all-stainless-unbreakable caraf that has no glass liner. It's a few dollars more, but it's a very nice unit. We ordered it from Amazon thru "finejewelry_4u" and they included a free gold filter that helped offset the extra cost. A couple of minor notes: The threaded cap to the caraf takes a bit of getting used to if you have unsteady hands. The unit is also taller than your average coffee pot (or at least our previous pot), so we have to pull it out from under our cabinet to pour the water in. Otherwise, no complaints here, thus far.

Calling Mr. Coffee,

Yes, the large size and programmable timer are convenient. No, the carafe doesn't keep the coffee hotter than cheaper models. Plus, it lacks a spout, which makes for messy pouring. Save your money. In this case, the name does NOT live up to the hype.

So Far, so Good,

This review is from: Krups 229-4G Aroma Control 10-Cup Coffeemaker with Thermal Carafe, Black and Brushed Stainless Steel (Kitchen)
We've been using this coffee maker a little over a week now and are pretty much satisfied with it. On the 3rd day a small peice of plastic chipped off of the part that stops the flow of coffee so that you can pour yourself a cup while it's still brewing. Though disappointed that it was this "fragile", this has not affected the performance of the unit. I tested the temperature of the freshly brewed coffee and found it to be HOT - 170 degrees! The carafe does a great job of keeping the coffee hot for at least 4 hours (the longest it's gone before being consumed)Preheating the carafe with hot tap water helps keep it hot for the greatest length of time.I love the portability of the carafe while still keeping my coffee hot - no more being tied to the hot plate- and no more breaking the flimsy glass carafes! The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is because the plastic chipped so quickly and because it doesn't have any type of spout to make it easier for pouring. Overall, I am very satisfied. I hope it lasts longer than my last 2 coffee pots (a 4 month oldDeLonghi and it's warrantied replacement that died 15 months later). My first Krups lasted 5 yrs - hope this one will too.
