This Krups 10-cup "Simply Brew" coffee maker is perfect for me! I don't need any digital settings so I find the simple on-off toggle switch and keep hot function just right for my use. It is the right size for storage in the kitchen corner appliance "garage" to keep counter space clear when not in use. It brews up a few cups of coffee in short time and easily, making it a good value for the money. Handle the carafe very gently and you will have use of it for some time.

This is really a personal size coffee maker. Its footprint is about half a sheet of notebook paper. Krups is a solid well-known brand. In Europe a cup is 6oz. This coffee maker is marked to hold 32 oz of water to produce 30 oz of piping hot coffee. 2 oz of water is lost by soaking through the coffee grounds. It leaves plenty room for adding sugar, cream or that Starbucks effect in my 32 oz tumbler that keeps it hot all day. It’s well made and has nice looking stainless steel and black decor. The carafe is glass and pours better than our bigger one. It has a removable filter cup that holds a removable permanent filter with its own cute little handles. It’s not made to easily use #2 paper filters. I’ll buy a 2nd permanent filter now before I really need it. The whole backside of the coffee maker is the water reservoir. Everything is designed for quick, easy use and clean-up except the cord is 2 feet long and not removable.I can travel with this little one. Put it in my office. It makes a nice gift. Perfect for dorm rooms, tiny kitchens, or 1-2 people. I can share a generous 16 oz with someone and have one myself. I added a little hand-cranked coffee grinder. It has 6 grind settings. 2 fills grinds all the coffee needed and takes a minute to do both. We have an electric grinder. It’s loud and not something you want to hear in early morning. With 2 lbs of coffee beans I put it all in a small carryon luggage duffle bag. The best part is I make great tasting coffee or tea anywhere I want without disturbing anyone and it’s so much cheaper. No more gas station or fast food coffee for me.UPDATE: I just want to say I have none of the problems others have reported. No drips, spills, or overflows. The filter and filter cup both snap in to stay without forcing or relying on the lid. Water reservoir openings are large and can fill from left or right side. It’s all one area. This Krups doesn’t auto turnoff but the warming plate will shutoff after 1 hour. It has auto pause for a quick pour. But I’ve never had a time when I can’t wait for a pot to finish. This one is only 30oz. I think some complaints didn’t get genuine Krups. This one has real metal and quality plastic parts where shown. Lookalikes are a very bad problem worldwide. Premium brands get nailed by bad reviews because customers think their product is genuine and don’t question it. We have a Cuisinart at home with all the features. Just like cable TV, we use only 4 all the time. Hope this update adds comparison.

I opted for the Krupps based on reviews and it was 1/3 the price of my previous brewer. The Krupps brewer checked most of the boxes for my preferences in a brewer.Pros:Brewing water is the proper temp.Brewing water fully saturates the grounds, releasing maximum flavor.Brewing time is appropriate, to accomplish the above.Hot plate stays warm for 60 minutes. Coffee stays a drinkable temp for another 15-20 minutes.Pause and pour.Reusable filter.Auto shut-off.Stylish and compact.Low price.Good quality.Krupps.Cons:The flip side of not having to buy filters is having to clean a reusable filter.The rear hinged lid stands vertical when open, and tends to crowd the water basin opening.No bells and whistles. (clock, auto-start, etc.)After using this product for a while I am adding a couple of comments. More of an annoyance than a Con.- The auto-shut off timer is set for one hour. This is not enough time for me personally. My fix is to shut the unit off as I am pouring my second cup (about 30 min from start) then turning it back on. This seems to reset the timer giving me about 1.5 hours of hot coffee.- The last cup of coffee will always have some very fine coffee grounds in it. I've adjusted my grinder to a courser grind which helped a little but the finest of grounds still sneak through. Paper filters may end up becoming the alternative.Overall, pleasantly pleased.

I have always preferred a cone filter over a basket style; it brews more flavorful coffee. I was really pleased to find this small coffee maker (I'm the only one in my house that drinks coffee) for such a good price. It looks really nice on my countertop. It has just an on/off switch, no timer, nothing fancy, but that's perfect for me. I am using Melita coffee filters rather than the reusable filter it came with, but nice that it was included along with coffee scoop. Only two minor notes: the top does not stay up, so to air it out after brewing, I prop it open with the cone after dumping the grounds. Also, it's a little tricky to pour water in without spilling, but not a huge deal. Overall I'm very happy with this and prefer it over my last one (a Mister Coffee small maker, basket style, the on/off button quit working).

Nice size, easy to use and clean, but filter basket is small if you like strong coffee. I generally use about two scoops of fresh ground coffee per cup, and the most the basket seems able to hold is about five scoops. If more than that is used, when the grounds swell up they touch the top where the water comes out and this makes for uneven distribution, resulting in weak coffee. I tried four times, with different amounts of both coffee and water, and could not get a strong brew unless I brewed only a half-pot.No other problems were observed -- looks like a good little coffee maker, but if you like stronger coffee this may not be the one for you.

Perfect size for two people in our camper! Works just as expected. Fast shipping. Even comes with its own filter basket and coffee scoop!

My last Krups coffee maker lasted 30 years so this was a no-brainer. The 5 cup is perfect for 1 or 2 people. I wish it had auto shut off but not a deal breaker. I have no trouble with pouring during brewing: no drips at all. It comes with a reusable filter but I buy #2 cone paper filters. 8 months after purchase I am still in love with it!

makes great, hot coffee. Understated sleek, modern design. Not a big clunky appliance on the counter, fits under the cupboard with tons of clearance. 5 star

This coffee maker makes excellent coffee!! Had no issues pouring water into reservoir. Some reviews indicated this as being a problem although the water pours into the reservoir with ease! Used the recommended amount of coffee and it was perfect for us! It does brew a little slower than your average coffee maker although there is a reason for this. Depending on which strength of coffee you choose this will vary. It's obvious that a little more time brews a much better cup of coffee. We have tried multiple coffee makers and always ended up with coffee that was subpar. I would highly recommend this coffee machine!!!

I have purchased this small little coffee maker back in 2020 during the pandemic and I'm still using it 4 years later! It functions perfectly, it has never broken down, extremely easy to clean and no hassle! I have been meaning to post a review for so many years now, but I had forgotten to do it until recently.If you are looking for a small coffee maker that doesn't take too much counter space, looks stylish with silver accent, comes with a re-usable filter, makes quick coffee and is easy to clean, you must purchase this one. You don't even need to think about whether to buy it, it is cheap and will last you years! For the price range, this is definitely a steal.I have attached a photo where it shows how small the coffee maker actually is in comparison to a ninja blender and a coffee mug from Ikea. I have been enjoying this coffee maker and I hope others can do the same. I wanted to mention that this is ideal for one person, mainly if you need a couple of cups on a daily basis. For the size, quality of coffee it makes, functionality and aesthetics, I rate this 5/5!

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.
