Customer Review: Coddle your Braun if yours still works & you like its coffee!
Summary: 5 Stars
Just thought I'd share a note here: I have this but without the programming features. I've been sold on the taste of coffee in these makers (because of the Brita water filter) for years. But, after the first cup, the coffee in the glass carafe stays too hot, making the rest turn bitter. Hence, I wanted one with a thermal carafe (the Braun KF600). Alas, 'twas not to be. I called Braun and discovered they no longer make coffee makers at all.
The reviews of the other two top rated thermal coffee makers: Zojirushi EC-BD15BA EC-BD15 Fresh Brew Thermal Carafe Coffee Maker and Cuisinart DCC-1150BK 10-Cup Programmable Thermal Coffeemaker, Black are so inconsistent (quality control problems overseas, I think), I decided to research thermal carafes instead. I chose the pricey but highly rated at Cooks Illustrated thermal carafe: Thermos Nissan 51-Ounce Stainless-Steel Carafe and now I just transfer the delicious fresh coffee from the Braun into it, and it's a terrific, if annoying-to-have-to-make compromise. The Braun-water-filtered coffee stays hot and delicious for hours.
Seems like it's too hard to manage quality control with cheap overseas labor in the production of these coffee makers. There are simply none that get consistently good reviews. Many engineer-types happily report in with their list of instructions on how to make the frigging machine work properly. Sheesh! This should not be necessary! Just another 'woe are we' story about the disappearance of decent quality products. Sigh.
