Have always liked Krups coffee makers because they brew a hot pot of coffee. This one does too! Brews close to 170 degrees. Great tasting coffee. They make the access to pour the water larger"¦no spillage. Looks very nice on the countertop. Con: the water level markings do not light up. Has been making flavor full coffee with the filter that comes with. I want to try the paper filters next. Highly recommend this Krups coffee maker.

I bought this to replace an aging coffee drip maker. I have tried several types of Keurig coffee makers and I haven't had any long-term success with them but a drip coffee maker will last forever. That's what I love about them. This one heats up the coffee to just the right temperature (for me) and it's quick.

If I had one bad thing to say about it is that if you try to pour the water too quickly into the basket, the water will start to drip all over the place. Other than that, it's a great coffee maker and worth the price

I bought this to have a smaller coffee pot and it makes two nice mugs of coffee or about 4 cups of regular size. It is a nice product my only disappointment in it was the lid on the glass carafe is a little flimsy, I'm afraid it's going to break off.
The pot itself and the coffee maker is just fine and what I wanted.

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 grind settings. 2 fills grinds all the coffee needed and takes a minute to do both. We have an electric grinder. It's loud and not something you want to hear in early morning. With 2 lbs of coffee beans I put it all in a small carryon luggage duffle bag. The best part is I make great tasting coffee or tea anywhere I want without disturbing anyone and it's so much cheaper. No more gas station or fast food coffee for me.

UPDATE: I just want to say I have none of the problems others have reported. No drips, spills, or overflows. The filter and filter cup both snap in to stay without forcing or relying on the lid. Water reservoir openings are large and can fill from left or right side. It's all one area. This Krups doesn't auto turnoff but the warming plate will shutoff after 1 hour. It has auto pause for a quick pour. But I've never had a time when I can't wait for a pot to finish. This one is only 30oz. I think some complaints didn't get genuine Krups. This one has real metal and quality plastic parts where shown. Lookalikes are a very bad problem worldwide. Premium brands get nailed by bad reviews because customers think their product is genuine and don't question it. We have a Cuisinart at home with all the features. Just like cable TV, we use only 4 all the time. Hope this update adds comparison.

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 up to freshly brewed coffee.
"”Some users might find it lacking in advanced features like adjustable brew strength, temperature control, or the ability to brew different coffee sizes.
-Short Power Cord: The coffee maker's power cord is relatively short, which may limit where you can place it in your kitchen.

Overall, the Krups Simply Brew Coffee Maker delivers on its promise of simplicity, durability, and great-tasting coffee. It's an excellent choice for those looking for a reliable, space-saving coffee maker.
