Practical and More than Worth It
Rating: 
I've had mine for a month now, and I love it. It's just a no nonsense maker; no timer and clock, no setting for how strong you want your coffee brewed (I never experimented with those when I had them-usually kept it in the middle). That makes it easier to use, I love the filter idea and I do taste a difference. It does stop brewing if you cant wait till its done and you need a cup. When I was researching coffeemakers for this one, I noticed their was one where it will automatically shut off after 2 hours. The longer you keep a coffee pot on the more acidic your coffee will get. This pot has a nice red hue to tell you its on. You dont need the money for that.
I like the handle of the pot as well. You get a nice grip and it feels good in your hand-ergonomic. Grind some beans, make a pot for yourself and just enjoy. Its definitely a bargain in more ways than one.

We have had our coffee maker for a month and it has overflowed three times. We have had Braun Coffee Makers in the past and have not had this problem...ever. This one looks good, but can be a problem.
Get the sponge out, we're making coffee!

I had owned a Braun coffeemaker earlier but had switched over to Krups and was dissapointed. So I went back to Braun, purchasing the KF510 with a separate gold filter. Overall the design is good, it's a stylish piece. Coffee was decent and hot but what I found really dissapointing was the pause and serve feature. I don't think it works properly and after removing it, the coffee floods seem to have stopped. I'm not sure if I got a bum coffeemaker or what but I've seen mention of this issue in a couple of other reviews... So I guess I'll have to buy another one!
(Addendum: The pause/serve feature doesn't always work so the coffee ends up coming out of drainage holes at the top of the filter basket and not out of the drip spout, very messy!)
