Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Braun KF400-WH Aromaster 10-Cup Coffeemaker, White
Customer Review: Very good no-frills coffee maker is an excellent value
Summary: 5 Stars
The Braun Aromaster KF 400 is a well built coffee maker that makes good coffee. While I described it as no frills, it does have a valve under the filter holder that stops coffee from coming out if the carafe is removed in mid brew. The front mounted power switch works very easily with a smooth click action and the on light is easy to see. The filter holder is easy to remove and replace for an occasional rinsing. The measuring marks are easy to read when pouring in water. The coffee tastes good no matter how much is made. I had one coffee maker where the coffee tasted stronger when larger batches of coffee were made even though I used the same ratio of coffee to water. That problem does not affect this unit. I find an eighth cup of ground coffee makes 3 servings of coffee.I use this unit constantly at the office. It looks like new after 6 months of use. I have the white one. No fingerprints or stains. It gets wiped with a paper towel once in a while.
The overall fit and finish is excellent. On my unit the plastic handle had an aberrant piece that kept the lid from snapping on correctly. A little trimming with a utility knife was needed.
The unit is sized for standard #4 filters. I use Melitta brand filters. Some Braun coffee makers have a replaceable water filter cartridge built in. This model does NOT have that feature.
This is an easy to use, inexpensive, well made coffee maker with an attractive design that makes good tasting coffee.
Recommended.
