Coffee machine worked great, however the carafe itself is crap.This was actually the second machine I’ve purchased, first one the carafe cracked and shattered and I thought it was a fluke but second one had the exact same issue, place the carafe gently on the counter and it shatters (picture attached).Contacted Amazon support and they referred me to the manufacturer, who basically determined it was dropped (it wasn’t) and no support.Reached back out to Amazon support, explained the situation and what the manufacturer said, and Amazon issued a full refund (even though outside the return window).As usual, Amazon has great service. Wish I could say the same for the manufacturer.

I like the 14-Cup capacity. The #4 cone filter works well in this unit. The carafe pours very well and is ergonomic. The carafe glass is thin making it fragile. The hot element coated with thin Teflon enamel shows wear within weeks if use. I like the water indicator so you can make the amount of coffee cups you wish to brew. I found it easy enough to program and the clock LED is well lit when itâs brewing and visible on stand-by mode. Iâm happy with it after looking at many coffeemaker options. Best feature is how it timely infuses the coffee before it starts the brewing process. Makes excellent bold good tasting coffee. Overall the quantity of 14 cups is its selling feature. The bold brew option makes great coffee as I mentioned. You can hear the coffee maker brewing and gurgling when itâs brewing. The three audible beeps to announce the coffee is ready is faint to the ear. The clean and descaling mode when flashing orange takes approximately 20 minutes with descaling solution. I purchased a gallon of descaling solution from home hardware making it more cost efficient. Using the coffee maker daily the clean me light turns on every 4 months for the descaling process. Big D

The machine has many useful features. Such as the auto function. The reusable filter is easy to clean and works as it should.The only issue is the steam that itâs producing and that burns the heating plate. The steam cannot escape and leaves the machine damp and sizzles on the heating plate.

WOW!!! And I thought I had a good Coffee Maker!
I used to have a Mr Coffee Automatic Drip 8-12C Coffee Maker which served me well for over a decade but it started having issues in that the Teflon Coating on the Keep Warm Plate started cracking and Flaking off during repeated cleanings with a soft sponge. This lead to the exposed metal of the Keep Warm Plate beginning to rust. The rust lead to a countless multitude of micro scratches in the form of parallel lines of arc about a third of the way round the bottom of the glass carafe because every time I poured a cup, I always placed the carafe back on the Keep Warm Plate and rotated the carafe to position the handle out of the way to the right. I became concerned that if I bumped the carafe on anything , that it might develop a stress crack all the way through the glass which would eventually extend and cause the carafe to shatter as the Carafe was used again and again if I didn’t catch it right away. Time for a new Coffee Maker. I chose this one and made my first pot of coffee with it by selecting the BOLD Brew Option, and all I can say is WOW!!! I never knew what I was missing out on! Same Folgers Classic Roast. Same Water Source. Different Coffee Maker; and WOW!!! I don’t know about cleaning it yet. Today is simply DAY ONE, and WOW!!! I love that it has a FOUR HOUR Auto Shut off as compared to my old CM’s 2 hr. I love that it has a built-in Cleaning cycle! Braun has seriously thought about the customer when they went to work designing this model! All I can say is WOW!!!

Makes good coffee – but leaks at times.
leaks into the burner area and causes discoloration. Good is good and functions per manual. Just the slight leak.

Es una buena cafetera ,pero se me hace que si hace un poco de desastre si no se limpia al instante despuÃ©s de usar porque que salpica ,hace las misma function que una cafetera de menor precio y el filtration de agua es difÃcil de limpiar si se ensucia .

Not reliable
So when we originally bought this coffee maker it worked great and we loved it. However at the beginning of this year in Feb, it stopped working and showed an E1 error message. We found out tht meant we would have to get a replacement. So replacement came (so glad we bought the warranty when we bought this as the manufacturers warranty only covers 30 days). So after having to go thru weird steps like cutting the power cord in half and sending pics of such, we got the replacement. Here it is Sept and yep you guessed it E1 error is back. We aren’t going to go thru the hassle of getting a replacement so will be looking at buying a different brand.

Superb Coffeeâ¦ Only One Snafu
I recently purchased this Braun Coffee Maker because my old reliable Cuisinart wasnât so reliable anymore. Braun is a respectable company and I loved the esthetics of this machine. Best thing of all, it makes exceptional coffee! My only complaint is that the measuring lines on the carafe have all but disappeared. I have resorted to drawing lines with a Sharpie on the outside of the glass. Iâve only had it a few months.
