This is a wonderful coffee maker. Pouring water into it is not difficult. If you do not like stainless steel today, you are out of luck.
It is so ergonomical the way the coffee carafe fits into the coffeemaker surrounding and protecting it. It uses the #4 coffee filter papers. I wish it was still on the market.
The clock could have been easier to read. It is also an attractive, streamlined, tidy package. It is not a big square, akward, industrial, bulky looking coffeemaker, which is allot of what is on the market now.
The watertube level is easy to read. A very nice coffeemaker indeed.
I bought mine in 1998 and it finally died a couple of days ago.While I agree with the poster who mentioned the flashing light that doesn't go away for the filter change, and I stopped using the filters a while ago (and actually event the clock and timer) at the end of the day, the machine is reliable. Yup, for 10 years day in and day out it has brewed a solid, tasty cup of coffee and frequently many a day, without fail. The replacement is already causing problems a couple of days in.RIP old trusty.
makes great tasting coffee. NOTE: use the water filters. Filtered water makes a BIG difference.
If you can get your hands on a new Krups 467 (through Amazon, Ebay, etc). Mine is retiring to back up service as I just got a new Cuisinart from the kids for Christmas.I've totally disassembled it twice just to clean it. you wont be dissapointed. The clock and timer has to be reset after even the shortest power outage.
I bought my Krups from Sears on a open box rack for $25 back in 2002. I thought I should start adding to them, although a little late for this product since it has been discontinued years ago. My Krups has made the best tasting coffee. uh, well, I've done that for years.
it pushes in. Though the first time I did that I didn't snap the water tube in tight, back at the hinged section, and it would drip when I pulled the carafe out to sneak a cup before it was done brewing. Everyone who drinks from it compliments the coffee. The styling doesn't get old. I have to say I don't right many reviews, but I rely on them before making a purchase.
Then I read a response to that review, and LO LO said to push in the reset button next to the flashing light. I went to the kitchen and took out an ink pen and pushed in on what I thought for years was the white dot "off" indicator and WHATTYA KNOW. Wished I knew that along time ago. Anyway, the only complaints I've ever had was water collects under the lid from the steam, then drips down the back and onto the counter when you open it. The first glass carafe I've owned that didn't dribble all over while pouring from it. I still see them on Ebay for $80 new. (That was the first thing I checked on the new Cuisinart, unplugged it, counted to twenty, plugged it back in and it did hold it's time, also checked that the carafe didn't dribble while pouring, it would've gone back if either of those things had failed, but I'll review that one when I've had it a bit longer).
Water filters readily available. I had to laugh though, I just read an old review complaining about the flashing filter light only resetting after unplugging the unit and having to reset the clock and timer. I had to modify the feet on the Krups by adding self-stick felt pads because I have to slide it out from under the upper cabs to fill it and it was marring the countertop, that will happen with about any coffeemaker. It is a great coffee maker.
We registered for this coffee maker at BB&B for our wedding. We loved it at first until we realized:- a little over a year later the drip stop is almost worn out. We can't "stop and pour"- it's leaking coffee from somewhere - we can't figure out where and to keep it from ruining our counter we have to sit it in a tray- the gold filter thing is very expensive to replace.
