This Braun Make A Strong, Hot, Cup Of Coffee
Braun KF590 Impressions Digital 10-Cup Programmable Coffeemaker

Have been using the Braun KF590 for two weeks now and have been very pleased. The coffeemaker looks sleek, takes up very little counter space and is easy to program. The cup markings on the side of the water tank are easy to read and are helpful when adding water to the tank. As with most coffee pots, this one does not really make ten cups of coffee since the average coffee mug is larger than four ounces. When making a pot for two people (two large mugs per person), I typically use nine scoops of dark roast ground coffee and add nine cups of water. It takes about ten minutes to brew and the coffee comes out strong and very hot.
The filter basket is easy to open and remove for filling and/or cleaning. I am currently using the water filter that came with the pot but really don't notice any difference in the coffee flavor with the filter. Also, I prefer to use the #4 paper filter instead of the reusable mesh filter. I have not experienced any problem with spillage during pouring although you may want to pour a little slower when you are down to the last cup. This Braun so far is performing perfectly and hopefully will continue to do so for several more years. |
Very Pleased With The Coffee

I decided to purchase a Braun coffeemaker after reading how Consumer Reports had rated the Aromaster KF400 their top choice. I would have chosen the KF400, but am one of those people who use the timer function on the coffeemaker so that fresh coffee is brewed just before I wake up in the morning. After some debate I decided on the KF590 and I have not been disappointed. In the box you receive a coffeemaker, a gold-tone filter and Brita water filter. I think that the coffeemaker makes a good cup of coffee. Not as good the French press I use when I have the time, but definitely good for a drip machine. Maybe it is the effect of gold-tone filter versus paper filters, but I taste much more distinct flavors in my coffee than my old machine. Overall I am very pleased with the coffee. The KF590 is part of the Impressions line which won the Reddot design award in 2004 and it does look slick.

| However, some of the design looks better than it functions. For example, the lid of the carafe is plastic and it feels cheap and rattles about. The lid does not open all the way and so must be removed each time you clean the carafe. However, the lid snaps into place easily which is good. To open the compartment for the grounds, you press a button on the top of the coffeemaker. The compartment swings open which is pretty slick until it gets stuck. I have found that it opens as it should only 15% of the time. However, when it gets stuck all it takes is a little pull and it swings open. Not a big deal, but could have been done better. However, one nice touch is that the compartment easily comes off for cleaning and is easy to put back on which is really nice for cleaning. |
Best Coffee Maker I Ever Owned

I am tickled pink about this coffeemaker! After trying at least five completely unsatisfactory coffee makers in less than four years (some so cheaply or poorly designed I wonder what the designers could have been thinking), we have FINALLY found a coffee maker we're happy with. The design is very nice and takes up slightly less counter space than others, which was a pleasant surprise. The carafe, although only 10 cups (which equals about five largish mugs of coffee) is very nicely balanced and easy to pour. We like the little button on top of the machine that opens the basket door, and we like the permanent gold filter.
No more paper filters for us! But what I like most is that the coffee tastes great and is HOT HOT HOT when it's poured. We can set the 'stay warm' feature to remain on for up to four hours. Not that any pot of coffee lasts that long at our house, but it's nice to have that option. Highly recommended!! |
