   I have had numerous Krups coffeemakers over the years and have always been pleased. So, when my last one died, I purchased the Krups FME4,since it had all the options important to me. After the first couple days of use, I was a bit disappointed with my purchase. The first problem was the lid can not be removed from the carafe which causes a problem getting it easily into a dishwasher and it is very flimsy. The stainless steel front which looks great, shows every fingerprint and the door can not be closed without touching the finish. Last issue although the least of the problems is that it’s the loudest brewing coffee maker I have ever owned. I have never heard anything quite like it. You could almost use it for an alarm clock, but you know when you coffee is done because it beeps too.

   Have no issues with the coffeemaker itself. Unfortunately the build quality is horrible. This is the second one that I bought and probably the last. First one went dead after 2 years of daily use. It would show “empty, no water” sign even though there was water. Seems like some sensor went kaput.

   Bought another one thinking tough luck as I like the coffeemaker itself. The second one lasted less than a year and failed with the same symptoms. Yes, I can maybe get it replaced under warranty but how long is that going to take and not sure if I want to go through the hassle of shipping it over and waiting? I cannot survive w/o my coffee.

   Giving it 2 stars as the coffeemaker is OK but the build quality leaves a lot to be desired.

   also look at my review of the gold tone filter which I highly recommend you purchase for this coffee maker.

   This works great. It is digital, so its fairly easy to use. Do read the manual so you know what you are doing BEFORE you start making coffee. the nice beep a the end is nice it you are busy doing something else, it will remind you your coffee is done. It also looks great, it matches all my appliances with the stainless steel. If you don’t want the look, save $20 and get the all black unit, same thing as this one. If you like to keep the coffee warm one even comes with a thermos and not the transparent carafe. The unit is light and easy to use. If you want, you can even add a filter for the water. I don’t use it but I imagine it must help a little if the water does not taste good where you live.

   I have just about given up coffee so I am going to try a coffee substitute next week, works just like coffee, but I want to see if it works just the same in the machine.

   One and a half years old and the handle on the carafe has fell apart and despite many cleanings with everything from vinegar to special cleaning agents the brewing speed will slow to a crawl until I lift the unit 2 inches in the air and slam it down onto the counter top which will get it going for a minute then it slows down and I need to slam it again. Takes about 8 slams to get through an entire pot of coffee brewing. Note that the municipal water supply that supplies my house has won many awards and is not hard at all.
