   We’ve only had this coffee maker for a few weeks, but we are reasonably happy with it so far. The biggest plus is that we haven’t had chewy coffee with this machine. We’ve had two different Mr Coffee’s and a Hamilton Beach, and all three allowed the water to fill in the basket until grounds spilled over and into the caraf. We also like the fact that this maker can be adjusted for smaller batches of coffee. However, given the price, it’s hard to understand why it doesn’t have an automatic shut-off or a clock.

   I purchased a Krups Pro Aroma Plus coffee maker from coffeemakers.us.com because the previous Krups machine we had owned for over a decade worked so well and produced great coffee. Sadly, the new machine arrived with a bent bottom so it wobbled badly. Despite its $80 price tag, it was clearly made of cheap, light-weght plastic (much flimsier than our old Krups machine). The owners manual is printed on flimsy brown paper and difficult to read. The coffeemaker arrived covered in dust inside the manufacturer’s box. coffeemakers.us.com’s return label was removed – suggesting someone-else had already returned it. Several years ago, we had the same experience with a Krups espresso machine : The original machine we bought in 1980 had worked perfectly for over 10 years. So we decided to go with Krups to replace it. After three replacements in 18 months, we gave up and bought a Gaggia instead. Clearly, Krups drip coffee machines have sunk in quality in the same way.

   Our advice : Do NOT buy Krups coffee-makers of any kind. Krups used to make high quality machines – but not any more.

   We received this as a wedding present in 2000, and it is still going strong. Nothing’s broken, it brews great, hot coffee, and I love being able to select the slow brew (1-3 cup) for when I am just brewing myself a commuter mug to go. Love it! Would recommend it highly.

   We are very happy with this coffeemaker. It makes great coffee and it is easy to clean. We are currently using the unbleached paper filters in ours. At first I thought it was a bit noisey. It has a faster brew time than our old coffeemaker, so setting the brew start time a little later worked for us.

   We had to spend a great deal of time cleaning the coffeemaker, as coffee had remained in the machine and had leaked all over it and its wrapping. This purchase was to replace a similar Krups coffeemaker that had developed a leak. The coffee made by this machine is adequate, but not as good as the one it replaced.

   I just wrote up a return for this coffee maker after having received it less than a couple of hours ago. The unit is defective, it won’t feed the water through to the carafe. I’ve been a Krups fan for many years and have owned several of their coffeemakers and when they work, they’re excellent. This product “appeared” to me to be re-conditioned as the exterior had scratches which shouldn’t be on a brand new product. If you do buy this product, I advise you to attend to it the first time you attempt to use it. Due to the defect, the water sits in the back of the unit and begins to boil, this caused a large portion of the water to spew out over the lid and could have been dangerous with the unit so close to an outlet.

   We received this coffeemaker as a wedding gift. It worked great and made great coffee for two years. Then suddenly the digital display went blank and we could only get it to turn on sporadically. It seems that the coffee-making function is perfectly fine but something is wrong with it electronically. We took it to a repair shop and they claimed it was a problem with the thermostat and said they had just replaced the thermostat on 5 other Krups coffeemakers. However that didn’t solve the problem – the digital display immediately went out again. We are now going to shop for a coffeemaker with fewer bells and whistles so we can count on a longer lifetime. Just wanted to warn other shoppers about this one.
