Amazon.com Product Description

Combining appealing and distinctive design with a powerful, fully programmable brewing system, this 1100-watt coffeemaker brews up to 10 cups of coffee quickly and efficiently. Along with its bright, blue, illuminated LCD display, the unit's control panel offers simple push-button functions including "on/off", a fully programmable clock, a programmable timer/auto-on from one to five hours, and an aroma switch that can be set to maximize flavor for one to three cups when less coffee is desired. With a no-drip spout and a generous handle for easy pouring, the unit's double-wall stainless-steel vacuum carafe maintains flavor and temperature longer. A popular pause-and-serve function allows for pouring a cup midbrew, and an audible signal indicates when brewing is complete. The appliance includes a soft-eject swing-out filter holder for easily adding ground coffee, as well as a magnified water-level indicator for high visibility. The machine's 60-ounce water reservoir provides a built-in water filtration system that removes chlorine and lime scale build-up to ensure better tasting coffee and longer machine life, while its automatic electronic de-scaling indicator measures brew time and calculates when de-scaling is necessary. The coffeemaker measures 10-1/2 by 8-1/2 by 13-3/4 inches and carries a one-year warranty.

1.0 out of 5 stars Java Problems, June 16, 2006

By	D. REAMAN (Macungie, PA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I bought this Krups to replace a beloved Krups thermal carafe that sadly passed on. This new model features too many flaws. For one, the swing-open filter door doesn't always engage. Minor issue. If you pour your water into the machine too quickly, bubbles can form in the window, so you're never quite sure how much is in the machine. Further, my model always seems to leak both water and brewed coffee from the bottom of the machine. Granted, it's only the size of a quarter or half-dollar, but you don't expect this from a Krups. Finally, the carafe, itself, pours so broadly that leaks are inevitable. Sadly, this product does not live up to the Krups' reputation.

5.0 out of 5 stars Krups FMF5-14 Thermal - Fast and Hot, May 13, 2007

By	C. Pfortner (Madison, WI United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is my first Thermal Coffee Maker. I hate the burnt taste of old coffee but heard the thermal ones aren't hot or are slow or noisy. This one is outstanding. It is quiet, programmable and brews very quickly. Morning coffee is actually hot and fresh at lunch (I did NOT have to prewarm the pot - that would be hard the night before!). It is not too tall, easy to clean, and seems reasonably priced. The fill line is easy to see. You can fit a #4 golden filter easily. It is programmable for 1-3 cups, I bet they don't stay hot as long if not pre-warmed. It comes with an optional filter insert which we don't use since we have a Brita on our faucet. Only potential draw back is the 10 cup capacity (I had a 12 cup one before). Yeah, no more broken glas pots!

5.0 out of 5 stars Good coffee, February 1, 2006

By	Tara Stringer "Homeschool Mom" (Georgia) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

After my beloved Krups Aroma Control coffee maker finally played out, I was disappointed to find out that it was apparently no longer for sale. Although it had many inconvenient and easily breakable features, it made the best coffee possible for a home machine. I read some negative reviews about this product, and was reluctant to try it. I was pleasantly surprised.
This model makes great coffee after adjusting the strength (requires slightly more coffee than some makers) and grind (expresso brings the best results), and I can honestly say it is just as good as my Aroma Control. Strangely, it doesn't give off the scent very strongly when making. (Half the fun of drinking coffee is smelling it brew!) Incidently, I use 1 1/2 Tbsp. per cup for my taste.
As for durability, I found this to be a very sturdy model with a lot of extra features, such as a water filter, decalcifier notice, convenient pop-out filter holder, 1-3 cup flavor express for a decent small portion, well-made carafe, and even a 20 minute warming plate for the thermal carafe. The only problem I've had, was with BUBBLES IN THE WATER LEVEL DETECTOR. I fixed this quickly by gently pulling the clear plastic tube away from the maker at the top. (carefully if there's water in the tank) The little plastic cap at the top of the tube is not air tight, so I just removed it, and now it works perfectly. All in all, I was very pleased with this purchase, and plan to buy my sister one as a wedding gift.
