Can I please enter negative stars? Bad, unpleasant unit
Rating: 
I had high hopes for the DuoThek solving several problems:
1. I like to brew tea, but it's a bit of a hassle.
2. I like to drink brewed coffee and need a nice coffee pot.
3. When we have company, it's nice to be able to brew more than a few cups at a time.
However, this unit suffered from huge design flaws and doesn't meet the excellent quality I've had from all other Krups appliances I've ever owned. The DuoThek, in fact, was purchased (and returned) to replace a Krups espresso/coffeemaker that we've now stuck with, even though we don't use the espresso side at all.
Among the myriad flaws with this unit
* No instructions were included about using the tea brewing attachment
* Illustrations and manual didn't match what was shipped
* Cheap, flimsy plastic parts covered with dust and easy to get dirty
* No -- I repeat! -- no automatic shutoff! We almost destroyed one carafe on the first day because of this basic missing safety feature
* Coffee quality is ok, but not wonderful
* Parts don't fit together well: the swing out filter baskets lock into place on my current Krups; these kind of mush in.
Don't buy it.

I've had a krups duothek for 15 years now. The only part i've had to replace is the bar under the filter basket. (They crack, but you can order them through the krups manufacturer.) I would definately buy another one of these coffee makers. That is why i'm searching online, because mine finally decided to retire and i cannot find this style in the stores near me.

I've had a krups duothek for 15 years. The only part i've had to replace is the bar that is under the filter basket. (They crack) You can order those through the krups manufacturer. I'm now looking for another duothek because mine has finally worn out. I highly recommend this product.
