KRUPS ET351 Coffee Maker, Coffee Programmable Maker, Thermal Carafe, 12 Cup, Black

Una sorpresa: Hoy después de 20 días de uso sin problemas, y listo para colar el café olvide colocar la cafetera en su lugar. Oprimí el botón de colado y en forma normal inició el funcionamiento. Me retire para hacer otras cosas mientras terminaba el proceso y a mi regreso encontré un derrame de café que inundaba la mesa y el suelo de la cocina. La cafetera anterior una mister cofee no iniciaba el colado si la cafetera NO estaba en su sitio. Me parece un serio defecto. Que opinan?

Design of carafe is odd. Liquid pours too slowly and it's difficult to get the last cup. The trade off is the compact design. You press a button to pour the liquid but it will keep dribbling when you release the button. With the lid off, you can't pour any faster because the spout does not contain the liquid in a single stream. You can't use the carafe to add water as the opening is small. And because it's small, with a regular water pitcher you still have to be careful not to spill. Apart from those inconveniences, it's a good coffee machine. I'm not sure it's worth its regular price value.

Had my previous Krups for 15 years no complaints. So maybe I am just so used to it, that couple of things small things bug me about this one. The "sneak a cup" feature does not work as the basket does not stop the flow of coffee when you pull out the pot. My old one used to cut it off not a drip, don't want to say this one pours out but it is darn close , enough that you don't want to try it. I thing it must be the spring that push the rubber stopper closed when the pot is removed is just not strong enough. I cleaned it and made sure there was not a coffee ground stuck in there. Also manual is kind of poorly written . One thing is the manual says just push BREW button and it will start, that is not true . The machine sort of goes to sleep so if you press BREW button nothing happens , but is awake now and if you press it again it will start. You can press any button 1-3 cup- Bold or even one of the clock setting buttons and again nothing will happen but it will wake it up and then you can press Brew and off you go. As far as flavor it's perfect , which is my I bought another Krups. Other reviews of some machines said coffee tasted burnt, never had that with my first machine so thought I should stick with Krups , and I don't regret it. Just wish I could sneak a cup ( me want coffee now)

Tengo buenas experiencias con la marca Krups.El vaso es fácil de lavarIncluye una cápsula y un dispensador para realizar la limpieza, sumado a que la cafetera cuenta con un sensor que da aviso de cuando realizar la limpieza, sumado a que te dan opciones de limpieza sin necesidad de la cápsula quita sarro.Se ouede programar fácilmente y el consumo de energía es muy poco a comparación de otras ya que el vaso de doble pared hace la función de termo.Fácil de limpiar y el diseño es muy agradable y robusto.

2 minor issues for me - 1 - you cannot turn off the alarm/beep when the coffee is finished brewing, there is no way to disable this and its very loud, my last krups had a way to turn this function off, this one does not. So if anyone is still sleeping when the coffee is ready they won't be for long.2 - the spout is drippy. I have yet to pour a cup where the spout hasn't dripped everywhereCoffee tatses great and stays warm quite a long time. Easy to use and easy to clean, I would recommend even tho there is things that could be improved up on with the design
