For what I want out of a cup of coffee it is difficult to find a coffeemaker with the simplicity of design, ease of care and use, and reliable brewing as the old

A little noisy when brewing

However, brewing too fast reduces residence time between the grounds and water, leading to a weak brew product

We've tried different combinations of water/coffee - but cant seem to get a decent brew

I really like the strong brew setting and the temp setting.

It does what it's suppose to do, brew a nice and hot cup of coffee right now or at the time you desire (nothing like waking up with the smell of fresh-brewed coffee).We used to have Tassimo, that isn't bad at all, but can become quite expensive when choosing the better brand t-cups

I like the adjustable brew strength and plate warmer

The controls are easy to use and auto brew easy to set up

Now I have fresh brewed coffee waiting for me every morning when I get up

The adjustable brew setting is nice as I like my coffee strong

I believe it’s shortcomings lie in Braun’s desire to satisfy the market expectations of fast brew time, little to no loss of steam, and very little noise

Our last pot was a very pricey 'aromatic brew" brand and while the coffee was good, it cost twice what this pot costs, only lasted 18 months and we make just one morning pot a day

It keeps the coffee beautifully hot once brewed

There is also a cool brew strength feature that I can get a nice bold brew going

I measured the brewing temperature on several runs at a consistent 180 degrees F, much lower than the optimal range of 195 F to 205 F. This, again, results in a weak brew product

No complaints here, coffee taste great, quick brew time and fresh.

It produces bold, well-brewed coffee which starts and stays hot.

We like the option to make a stronger brew & to adjust the temp of the hot plate

Very quiet brewing, and doesn't have an annoying signal when finished!

Makes a weak brew, even on bold setting water runs through so fast.

I wasn't happy with the quality of brew and pain of cleaning old school auto drip coffee makers and I wasn't about to pay over a hundred bones for a giant fancy brew appliance

It looks great, the controls are very intuitive (I still haven't even read the instruction manual), the coffee comes out hot and very well brewed.

Very easy to use very fast brewing and very easy to clean

Keeps my coffee warmer longer...better brew.

I am pleased with this machine for the following reasons: Easy to program, Have a medium and bold brew choice, easy to clean, coffee tastes great, 1-4 cup option which is very important, water filter makes great coffee taste better, filter is easy to insert, extraction process results in a great cup, reasonable brew time, and temperature settings help create a better coffee experience

It made a very loud brewing noise since I got it

I could not test using more coffee to get a stronger brew because doing so will result in an overflow of the basket, either into the carafe or into the water inlet

Brew strength selector, and temp change selector for base heater both good

This is a very high-end, expensive, slow brewing and unreliable coffeemaker!!!
