Just OK
Rating: 
I bought this coffe maker 2 days ago and so far i am not impressed. The coffee tastes ok but is not kept hot enough. It also drips sometimes when you pause to get a cup during brewing. What really sold me were the water filter and the machine's sturdy construction. I really loved the black version, it looks so classy...too bad i had to get the white one to match my other appliances. So overall it is an OK machine but im my opinion too overpriced.

I have never been a coffee drinker, but decided rather than drinking a caffeinated soft drink, especially on cold mornings, I wanted to try it. I had never bought a coffee maker, but decided on this one after reading reviews and Consumer Reports. It is easy to use, I love being able to program what time I want it to come on, and for how long it should stay on. The filter basket pops right open with the press of a button, though I prefer paper filters to cleaning the gold filter. The water filter is great, I've had no signs of hard water residue. I now drink coffee nearly everyday, yet I still only like the chocolate flavored ones, and even my husband is drinking coffee and requesting it in the mornings!
very satisfied

Overall, we're pretty happy with this machine. LOVE the filtered water, the auto on, handle and pouring ability, wide basket and easy to open/clean and this particular machine brews and keeps the coffee hot. Not fast-food restaurant hot but hot. The auto-off is great, you can program it from 20 minutes up to 4 hours.Gold filter basket is great, espresso grind gets through so if you don't like sludge but like espresso grind, get a paper filter. I wish it would beep when the pot has finished brewing. The water filter expiration reminder is okay, it'd be way cooler if it had a red line letting you know (like the Pure filters) it's time for a new one. I like it, not too pricey considering how long coffee makers last by Braun. I'm an addict and this satiates my addiction.
Pros:
-doesn't spill all over when pouring
-auto timer on
-auto timer off
-filtered water
-gold filter basket
-good tasting coffee (I do buy "good" coffee - I recommend Cafe Bustelo for a budget conscious yet flavor conscious drinker!)
-coffee stays hot
-it feels sturdy
-the water measure on the outside is accurate to lines inside the tank
-easy to remove carafe and coffee basket
Cons:
-doesn't alert when finished brewing
Ever so slight drip when getting coffee mid-brew (so says my mate)
Ok, that's it.
