- Good coffee maker
- I'm glad I bought this Braun coffeemaker with the thermal carafe. The coffee is the best I've had for a long time, and if pre-heated the carafe keeps it warm for a few hours. The one draw-back is the size of the carafe and the amount of coffee it makes. I'd prefer a larger pot - at least 12 to 14 cups. It amazes me that the manufacturing community thinks a cup is 4 or 5 ounces. What nonsense!
I have had two overflows, both of which were operator error. The first, I filled the tank from measuring cups and not from the carafe. You have to be careful about that, as the marking for 10 on my tank is higher than if I fill the carafe to the top. When I did that, I had about a ½ cup overflow. The second time, I didn't position the carafe properly, and again - overflow.
Aside from the size of the carafe, though, I am very happy with this Braun. It is the first Braun I have purchased, and if this is indicative of their quality, I'm likely to buy another Braun product in the future. - 2008-07-30, 0 of 0 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- Very good coffee maker; would buy again
- Pros:
Makes good tasting coffee
Attractive
Not too big
Relatively speedy in making coffee
Cons:
Doesn't keep coffee hot enough long enough for my tastes
Bottom line:
Coffee plenty big for a 2-3 drinkers and a squeeze for a large party. But room is at a premium on our counters so this one works well. If the carafe can hold the heat longer, this would be a 5-star unit. I would buy again. - 2008-07-29, 0 of 0 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- Great Basic Machine - Actually 4.5 Stars
- I've had this machine for over two years, use it every day, and it's easily the best coffee maker I've ever had (and I've had a LOT of coffee makers). I love the thermal carafe. I can take it wherever I need it so I don't have to keep running back to the maker. I don't need a timer or other bells or whistles, so some of the others' complaints are moot for me. This would be a 5 star machine if the carafe held more, and the opening was big enough to get my hand in to clean it. Summary:
Pros:
Thermal carafe
Simple design/operation
Big water tank opening
Short enough to fit under my overhead cabinets
Fast brew time
Cons:
Small carafe capacity
Carafe opening too small to get hand in to clean pot

- Beware: Beauty is Only Skin Deep
- This is one great looking coffeemaker! And it worked well for me...for about 6 months. Made in Germany, it reminds me of Mercedes Benz cars: it looked great and worked great when new. But over time (not that much time, actually), it became trouble prone. Last week I threw it in the trash.
I have no complainst whatsoeveer about how well it worked. I will miss it. The durable carafe keeps coffee warm without electricity for most of the day. And it's easy to use.
But one morning about one month after I bought it, I returned to the kitchen to get my cup of java, and there were coffee grounds and coffee all over the counter. Seems the door opened itself during the brewing cycle. The next morning, the same thing happend.
Then, I had a great idea: Put a Velcro strap on it to keep it closed. I went to the hardware store, and it worked! Unfortunately, though, not for long. About 6 months later, a tiny fragile piece broke off the part that holds the coffee. Now, the pot's useless, because the grounds just fall out.
I hope Braun engineers do better on future products. This one's going to the dump. - 2008-07-28, 1 of 1 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- Braun KF600 Impressions 10-Cup Thermal Coffeemaker
- This coffemaker works well; basic unit - very basic. In my opinion; it's missing a few items (for convenience - such as, clock for auto-start, and a larger caraf for more coffee at one time). Otherwise, like the filter and the easy access to the grounds area - easy clean-up too. Worth the purchase.
