This product is 110V and has what looks like a US plug on it. It is not suitable for use in the UK. The product is listed on Amazon.co.uk. As it was an electrical product listed on the Amazon UK site i stupidly assumed it would work in the UK. I am now 3 conversations deep with Amazon customer support. There is no issue returning it, however the returns label is to a destination in Kentucky in the US. Given that i am in Edinburgh, I did contact Amazon to ask if that was the most efficient way to return the item. I’m still in the chat – explaining. What ? – the product ? – that looks fine – we spent a long time searching for machines before finally settling on this one. What idiots we were to check it wasn’t going to be listed with a US plug on an UK website.

Great little coffee maker!
This is the perfect size for a small kitchen. Itâs easy to use, makes a delicious cup of coffee, and looks cute sitting on my counter.

Great size and appearance, a little tough to add water
Love the coffee maker and would buy again, but would be 5 stars if the provided coffee pot could easily pour water into the back of the unit. The water opening is small and the coffee pot is big and the flap on the back does not fold down far enough to get the pot close enough to turn it over to get the last drops of water…i end up tipping the remaining water, about one small sip, onto the grinds. That said, great looking and perfect size: small footprint and not too tall. gr8 German minimalist styling.

Perfectly sized!
Iâm the only one at home that drinks coffee. This coffee maker is perfectly sized for my kitchen and gives me the perfect cup of morning coffee in a short amount of time.Couple of cons- it leaks when I pour a cup during the cycle so I have to wipe the coffee off the plate before returning the pot and it doesnât not turn off automatically- I have to remember to turn it off manually

Looks Nice, Works Nice
This is a beautiful coffee maker, works great and is compact in size. The retail price was a little to high for me until Amazon came through with a 31% discount. Very efficient with the coffee. Has a one hour automatic shut-off. One minor negative would be that the fill lid takes a little bit of finger pressure to snap/click open. This would likely get better with use, but I like to easily flip open the cover with one finger. I ended up bending the tab on the cover ever so slightly to allow really easy opening with one finger. This is a very minor thing. I’m not into looks much, but this thing does look beautiful on a kitchen counter. It cleans easy and tends to stay clean. At the discount price, 5 stars. Full price, I’m giving it 4 stars for the price point. Still a very nice item, highly recommend.

Solid and Functional
Well-made and easy to use. It makes a good rich ten cups of coffee. The hot plate keeps the carafe at the right temperature, and it shuts off after an hour, to prevent burned out coffee in the carafe. Good compact size. Krups is a good brand.

Just not hot enough…
I REALLY wanted to like this, and I did like a lot of things about it…the small footprint, the cone filter (my preference) and it made a very smooth cup of coffee. However, it was nowhere near hot enough for me. Some people suggested leaving it on the warmer for a few minutes, which did help a bit, I also ran the carafe and my coffee mug under hot water before brewing and that helped someâ¦but not enough, and honestly, I donât want to have to do that much work for a cup of coffee. The temperature in the carafe was 166 or so, versus the Capresso Single Serve at 179, and the Cuisinart 5 cup at 180. The 166 may be enough if you drink your coffee black, but for me and the amount of cream I add, it was lukewarm. Overall, I prefer the Cuisinart 5 cup, and even though it has a bigger footprint and is a bit more expensive, it also has a cone filter, makes a much hotter cup of coffee, and has auto shut off.

Good value, nice size, brews a good few cups quickly
This is a quality coffee maker for a decent price. It’s fast and brews a nice cup of joe. The size is excellent. If you’re not careful or if it’s off balance, the lid WILL close on its own (I’m sloppy and it happens, so I use a bamboo skewer to hold it open.) It looks OK. TBH, unless the color is hideous (you know what I mean), all coffee makers look almost identical.I prefer using #2 paper filters rather than the mesh basket. They fit, of course. My only gripe is my fault – I mistakenly thought it had auto-shut-off. Totally my fault, and not a deal breaker.Can I find a cheaper coffee maker? Yes. Can I find a better coffee maker? Yes. Is this worth the price? Absolutely yes.

We’ve been using Krups for about five years now. We wanted to upgrade with the black Friday deals and got this one. It’s practical to manage, cute, and true to the high-quality coffee flavour. We have tried other brands and not all of them keep up with the proper brewing to bring up the rich flavour without costing 100s of dollars.
