- Very satisify with it
- I had mine since 06 and it still works great. The thermal pot keeps the coffee hot for at least 2-3 hours. Very happy with this coffeemaker.

- Good Performer - Very Happy
- Have now been using this coffemaker for about a month and we're very happy with it. The "real" capacity is three standard travel mugs, and the quality of the coffee made is excellent. Brew time is between 6-7 minutes, and the resulting coffee is flavorful and rich. The pot is a bit difficult to clean, but an occasional overnight soak with either dishwasher detergent or Oxyclean takes care of that. The carafe keeps a remaining cup of coffee warm for a few hours, a bit longer if you've pre-warmed the carafe, which to me seems quite reasonable.
Biggest concern at this time is the lifespan of the device - some of the parts are a bit complex, and it will be interesting to see how they wear over time. Replacement parts, and the slightly odd Britta filters, are available at a reasonable price from www.theessentials.com. I ordered filters there recently, they arrived promptly.
Finally, I wish Amazon had this item available via Prime. I ordered through an Amazon partner, and it took nearly two weeks to arrive, a long time when you're trying to replace a broken coffeepot! - 2008-09-12, 1 of 1 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- Met our expectations
- After a lot of research, we thought the KF600 suited our needs the best. We did not want/need the bells & whistles (grinders, timers, etc.) on other models.
We did want a unit with a thermal carafe, one that was easy to fill w/ a readable gauge and one that didn't take too much space on the countertop.
It is true that the carafe is a bit small and may be more difficult to clean, but it works fine - - - better if pre-heated with hot water.
For the true coffee afficianado, the question of whether it heats the water to the optimum brewing temperature is probably valid. However, based on information from a well known cooking publication, the only unit to accomplish this costs three times as much. It is also very large and looks like a laboratory experiment.
The Braun is not a perfect machine, but, given the choices out there, it's pretty good and we are satisfied with the purchase. - 2008-09-06, 4 of 4 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- The absolute BEST
- This coffeemaker is the best electric I have encountered in my 35 years of coffee drinking.
1. Carafe does not spill or drip when loading or pouring.
2. Carafe keeps coffee hot, wide top makes cleaning easy - the machine pauses if you want a cup before it is done and shuts off automatically when it is done.
3. The basket is easy to load, unload and clean, the water reservoir is easy to use, the on/off switch is beautifully functional - German engineering at its best.
4. I have had one for over a year of steady use and it is still great.
5. I am buying them now as gifts. - 2008-08-28, 3 of 3 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- Excellent Product
- I almost didn't buy this because of some poor reviews. They were wrong! This Coffee Maker works great! If you want bells and whistles, buy something else. If you want something that makes great coffee and keeps it warm, this is an excellent product.
