KRUPS 5-Cup Silver Simply Brew Compact Filter Drip Coffee Maker

Gabi: ....and then one morning, there was no coffee, the heating element is burnt out.
It really wasn't bad while it lasted, but really soon after I bought it, the metal plate under the carafe got rusted making it very unsightly. For what it costs, they could give it a proper coat of paint.
Also, it hasn't been abused like leaving it on for hours, just 15 minutes every morning, the heater should have lasted forever in my opinion, and I should know because I work in the electrical field.

Su Doki: This is really a personal size coffee maker. Its footprint is about half a sheet of notebook paper. Krups is a solid well-known brand. In Europe a cup is 6oz. This coffee maker is marked to hold 32 oz of water to produce 30 oz of piping hot coffee. 2 oz of water is lost by soaking through the coffee grounds. It leaves plenty room for adding sugar, cream or that Starbucks effect in my 32 oz tumbler that keeps it hot all day. It’s well made and has nice looking stainless steel and black decor. The carafe is glass and pours better than our bigger one. It has a removable filter cup that holds a removable permanent filter with its own cute little handles. It’s not made to easily use #2 paper filters. I’ll buy a 2nd permanent filter now before I really need it. The whole backside of the coffee maker is the water reservoir. Everything is designed for quick, easy use and clean-up except the cord is 2 feet long and not removable.

I can travel with this little one. Put it in my office. It makes a nice gift. Perfect for dorm rooms, tiny kitchens, or 1-2 people. I can share a generous 16 oz with someone and have one myself. I added a little hand-cranked coffee grinder. It has 6...

Stellar10: The Krups Simply Brew 5-Cup Coffee Maker is a compact and efficient addition to your kitchen. I was tired of having a large coffee pot taking up space on my counter when I only used it for entertaining or when we had company. If you need to brew just a few fresh cups at a time, I really like this coffee maker and the Krups brand. It my go-to next to Braun.

Design: stainless steel design in silver and black adds a modern touch to your countertop. With 650 watts of power, it brews a pot of coffee quickly. The compact size is great for those with limited counter space.

Filters & cleaning: One of the standout features is the coffee filter, which ensures a drip-free brewing process. No more messy spills to clean up. The coffee pot is also dishwasher safe, making post-brew cleanup a breeze.

Some things to keep in mind:
- this is a limited capacity brewing coffee maker so keep that in mind when ordering, it was even a bit smaller than I had envisioned when I unboxed it.
-No Programmable Timer: This coffee maker lacks a programmable timer, which means you can't set it to start brewing at a specific time, which might be a drawback for those who prefer waking...

scubalab: We got this through the Vine program and spent a good amount of time with it before posting our review here. First item arrived in a damaged internal box. External box was fine, but the inner boxes were crushed a bit. When we unpacked the coffee maker, it had a dent right in the front. So, we exchanged for an undamaged one. Second one arrived in perfect shape.

We used this coffee maker for about 2 weeks. We were using a Bunn coffee maker (20 years old, built like a tank, and no frills) and the only reason we considered a new one was for the timer feature. This coffee maker looks nice, but feels like a significantly lesser quality than the Bunn. But, it works well.

The good:
- Timer function works great.
- Strength adjustment (not sure if it's a gimmick, but it can be adjusted).
- Reusable/washable filter basket.
- Looks nice.
- GREAT customer service by Krupps (explained below).

The bad:
- Lightweight, made with a lot of plastic.
- Reusable filter works OK, but you get very fine grit at the bottom of each cup of coffee.
- Easy to overflow (explained below).

So, the second unit we got was flawless and we used it for about a week...

Client d'Amazon: Pour le café matinal, on ne peu plus simple d'utilisation. Espère une bonne durabilité, c,est à voir.

Kelly S: It looks nice, but I suspect the stainless steel is steel colored plastic as it is very light! Just felt cheaply made, although it brewed a very nice cup of coffee. I also worry about the touch pad controls; a bit finicky to turn it on. The older Krups models were better made; I used to sell them in a kitchen shop. For $115.00 (what I paid), I want a better made machine. A pipe dream, maybe.

Cosmo: Bought it as a gift for my dad and he loves it. He likes to make his coffee and drink on his way to work so this is perfect because he can just brew the coffee straight on the travel mug. It's also very compact so it doeesn't take as much space as other coffee makers.
