This coffee maker is simply the best investment I've made for my mornings. I've had my unit for about 6 months now and it works just as well as day 1. The coffee maker is programmable and has a large well for water, so I can make several cups without needing to refill all the time. The brewer also allows for water temperature selection, which is super helpful when making all my favorite teas as well. The compartments are easy to clean, which is a huge bonus. I'm a fan!

This coffee pot is garbage,the water does not get hot, you can drink the whole cup in one mouthful.. when you are. Making 1//2, to a whole pot, when finished brewing it shuts off the warming tray does not start, when you making 1/2pot and put the drip stop on,the whole machine shuts down. I feel like Amazon sent me a machine that was already a return. I don’t know if I want to trust Amazon with future purchases. Thanks

What can I say about this beauty. My wife and I have been getting into better quality coffee and decided after fifteen years to upgrade our pot. This thing is amazing. I dunno what the difference is, but the coffee taste so much better. The cold brew is ok and you have to use a cone paper filter, but we got it for the hot and it's perfect. I think the Braun found a couple of lifelong supporters.

I love this machine!!! It works great! The coffee tastes great. It depends on the brand of beans and how frequently you grind them, but that is the user's preference. I was looking for an espresso machine, thinking I would have Starbucks at home. I'm just not that person who is satisfied with an espresso. I like them, but I want a large cup if I need a coffee. This machine can make me a concentrated coffee or a more considerable amount without thinking about the pressure, water amount, temperature, and whatever else comes with an espresso machine. I was very excited that it has different functions as the cold brew or over ice, though they all make very warm coffee, and thedless, ice melts regar so keep that in mind. I wish the coffee coming out was significantly colder so my ice does not melt immediately. The hot water function is excellent! You can change the temperature of the water, and it comes from a different spout, so no coffee-flavoured water in your tea. Overall, I am very, very happy with this machine. It is consistent in what it produces, though I wish the functions for colder coffee produced colder coffee.

i was replacing a very old bunn phase brew that i loved. this machine brews a little better than that. i am not a fan of the cone filters, but that is no big deal. the water tank comes off easily and is replaced just as easily when full. the basket has the stop to pour bobber on it, but it is not in contact with the pot. when i take the used coffee filter out, the bobber closes and i don't drip on the floor going to the trash. i use the stop to pour even when it is done so i don't drip on the plate. the lever slides easily. the hot water feature is great too. i make tea so this is a nice add on. easy to set programable. touch keys. and the biggest thing of all is that i can pour it without spilling. i even tried with cold water and couldn't. the flavor of the "gold" is great. i did try over ice and that worked too. size select and cup tray round it out.i have to say i was worried i would have issues, but i really really like this thing.as a side note, before i purchased it, i contacted braun via email with a question and they actually responded a couple days later.

I must say, the superior German quality makes a difference. It is definitely one of the rare products that offers the best brewing, the ideal temperature and the most delicious filter coffee like Philips' machines. The brewing options also make life easier, it is definitely well thought out to brew directly into your thermos at home or when going out. With Tim Hortons' Colombian beans or Illy's coffees, you can achieve the best results in the world. As a coffee enthusiast, I must say that I particularly like the above brands because of their quality differences. The machine also offers a cold coffee option for hot summer days, so if you're a coffee lover, buying this along with an automatic coffee machine will allow you to prepare all your coffee options at home.

We love this thing!!! The best coffee maker we’ve ever owned. Reliably makes the perfect cup or full pot brew. Also love that we can make tea/boiling water without having to do any extra cleaning. No coffee flavour contamination like you might get with a pod coffee maker.Only complaint is that because the size section is on a dial, it’s easy to forget what the size is set to. Occasionally we make the wrong size by accident.

Got this machine to save counter space since I drink about a pot of coffee a day and my wife drinks a few cups of hot tea and know that Braun generally has a good reputation.The plus is that the coffee is okay. It's better than your normal drip which I attribute to the charcoal filter and a decent brewing temp.On the downside, the machine is bulkier than anticipated both in terms of height and width. It doesn't really save countertop space as a regular drip coffee maker and electric kettle takes closely the same amount of space. I also feel for a unit which is supposed to be multifunctional should have a water reservoir exceeding a full pot of coffee since the goal is to use it regularly for other purposes. Now, these issues were avoidable with better planning on my part but still, the overall coffee maker is inconvenient.Here's the kicker and the primary reason for the poor review. Even though the system promotes a separate hot water dispenser, the hot water tastes like coffee which is very unpleasant when making a cup of tea. The reason for this seems to be that although there's a separate primary dispenser, there's still a sort of spill over or condensation in the coffee basket which will lead to run off of a small bit of water from the basket into your cup even when you're using the water dispenser.If you're looking for a system that will give you nice clean hot water and coffee, don't bother. I'm going back to the electric kettle.

Bought a new coffee maker after years with my Ninja. Used to have Braun in the past so was very excited to order this after all of the positive reviews. For the most part it seems to offer plenty of brewing options too. My issues are twofold. The first is the fact that even after selecting the full carafe - 10 cups - it never brews more than 9 cups, always leaving additional water in the reservoir (which the manual says is normal). The second issue is the Keep Warm feature. It says the default time for this is 2 1/2 hours but it always shuts off after 1. I have tried many times to increase the Keep Warm time to 3 and even 4 hours but it never works. We keep turning the machine on to try and keep the remaining coffee warm but the machine shuts off after 1 minute. Maybe I have a lemon but the Keep Warm feature is fairly important and to not have it work is very disappointing. UPDATE: after filling the reservoir up beyond the top mark I was able to get 9 1/2 cups and after changing the Keep Warm to 4 hours and not using the stop Drip button, the Keep Warm feature is now counting down from the 4 hour mark - so maybe that was the trick!
