Braun KF7150BK Brew Sense Drip Coffee Maker, Black

Really happy with this coffee maker. The coffee tastes great and stays hot without tasting burnt. I like the Bold option and the pause feature when I want to grab a cup before it’s done. It’s simple to use, easy to clean, and looks nice on the counter. Good quality for the price. I definitely recommend it.

LOVE, love, love this coffee maker. Cant tell you how many others I have sitting in my garage to give away. This is perfectly simple and does everything it is supposed to do in a beautiful and tasty way! Makes awesome coffee in a jiffy and does not have a huge footprint on the counter, very compact. Cant go wrong with this machine!

La cafetera es bellísima, tanto el diseño como la construcción y detalles son muy bonitos. Es muy intuitiva y rápida: en más o menos 14 minutos hace toda la jarra de café. El filtro es permanente así que no hay necesidad de estar contaminando con filtros desechables. Tiene buena capacidad, el sistema de auto encendido funciona perfectamente. Tiene función para elegir el grado de dureza del agua. La jarra es muy bonita, fácil de limpiar y todos los aditamentos son aptos para lavavajillas. El reloj es bastante grande y claro, si la energía eléctrica se corta o la desconectas para limpiarla, cuentas con hasta un minuto sin energía antes de que se pierda la programación lo cual es muy auxiliar. La temperatura que alcanza es ideal. La placa de calefacción ayuda a que el café se mantenga caliente por mucho tiempo, si el tanque está vacío, se puede encender la cafetera y la placa se calentará para recalentar el café, es una función muy útil. El único contra que le pongl es que con la función de 1-4 tazas, si el depósito de agua está lleno, no se detiene, seguirá produciendo café así que es importante solo llenar el depósito con la cantidad exacta de café a preparar, fuera de ello, el resto es perfecto. Muy contento con la compra.

I was flabbergasted by a previous review of this coffee maker, entitled "I HATE this coffee maker." So, I decided to write a response. I am not affiliated with Braun. I purchased this coffee maker, I love it, and I simply believe that the previous review is unfair. So, here we go: The reviewer wrote: "My biggest gripe: The water level indicator for the reservoir is inside the reservoir with some sort of stepped dip stick of sorts. You are suppose to look into this dark reservoir and see the level of the water against this indicator." LOL. No. The carafe that comes with this coffee maker is clearly marked, making the "dip stick" markers inside the unit redundant. One needs only to fill the *carafe* to the desired level, then pour the water into the machine. It is NEVER necessary to "look into the dark reservoir." The Reviewer wrote: "…a 1 to 4 cup setting that is never explained fully. Instructions say to use this feature if you are making 1 to 4 cups. […] Absolutely NO description of what it does. Does it brew faster, slower, more water, less water; who knows." Well, it's obvious that the "1-4" setting is for a shorter brew time. So, what further information is required? If you're making as few as 1-4 cups, press the button—and the machine will adjust accordingly. If you're making 5 or more cups, don't press the button! It's literally that simple. The reviewer wrote: "None of the manufactures [sic] make it clear what type of filter they use. Braun included." That is simply false. The second sentence under "About this item" is: "The Braun gold-tone filter enhances the flavour of your coffee." The filter type is also mentioned both on Braun's web site and on the product's box. It's mentioned everywhere. The reviewer wrote: "Braun decided to make it difficult to fill using the carafe. The lid on the carafe and the lid coffee maker are in the way of each other and prevent a decent pour resulting in water all over the burner and counter sometimes." I have no clue why the above was written. I've been using this coffee maker several times a day for weeks. I have no problem pouring water into the machine, and I have literally never spilled even a drop of water. The reviewer wrote: "The coffee maker has an auto shutoff too. Always a nice feature when you forget to turn it off manually. And this maker has an adjustable time for the auto off. The problem is you have to turn the auto off feature on in order for it to work. Great! A feature for the forgetfulness that requires you to remember." NOTE: This coffee maker shuts off *automatically*—WITHOUT the need to press the button. The button is required *only* if you want to specify a *specific time* for it to shut off. Otherwise, just make your coffee, then go about your business, and the coffee maker will shut itself off—100% of the time. The reviewer wrote: "Update: I have been using this coffee maker for a couple of weeks now and felt compelled to update this review. I HATE THIS COFFEE MAKER!!!" […] "I have changed the 3 stars to 1 and the review title to more accurately reflect how I feel about this piece." Well, every issue that the reviewer mentioned is addressed in the manual—or in this rebuttal—and not one of those issues is a problem in the least. For the record, before purchasing, I searched high and low—and finally chose ths coffee maker. And it's fantastic! Five stars!

Muy buena, calienta el café por 5 horas
