I purchased this to replace a 30+ year old Braun coffeemaker that was still in great shape and working well until there was a tragic carafe accident. After looking at many different brands and models I came back to this Braun model for its design and compact size to fit in my kitchen cabinet when not being used. I've impressed by the attention to detail and the improvements in ease of use. It has more features than I'll ever likely use, but it does the basics well and without any fuss.

I have been buying this coffee maker for years and love it. The only problem is that it doesn't seem to last very long, despite the regular care I give it, i.e., descaling when the light comes on and changing the water filters. And it gives NO warning when it decides to break. One morning I got up and NOTHING. I had power, it lit up and made the usual noises, but the water would not go into the brewer. More recently, I had one that would not hold water in the reservoir. I'd find water all over my countertop and on the floor the next morning. I'm still using it; just waiting until the morning to add the water. But I know its time is limited. Just seems it's a bit expensive to keep on breaking so regularly.

Don’t buy. Ran great fir about 8 months. Broke and need to buy a new one

First of all my Braun coffee machine has no side window for amount of water poured in, so it's very inconvenient to fill. The coffee pot is defective and the handle and spout are not centered which makes pouring awkward. I have used Braun coffee maker for many years and never had a problem. I don't need these big 12 cup coffee makers since I usually make 2-3 cups at a time but Braun doesn't seem to have those coffee makers anymore.

Der Mülleimer ist sehr solide verarbeitet und sauber lackiert. Schön ist die Wiederauflage des 70er Jahre Designs.Er passt perfekt in meine Küche.
