Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Braun KF590 Impressions Digital 10-Cup Programmable Coffeemaker
Customer Review: Braun Coffee maker
Summary: 5 Stars
I replaced the same coffee maker that I had for 10+ years. Why argue with success.Customer Review: I like it, BUT.
Summary: 2 Stars
Very nice coffee maker. Easy to program and set up. Coffee is flavorable and the warmer plate keeps the coffee hot. However, the quality of construction and/or design is an issue. The catch that holds the filter to the top doesn't hold the filter securely and the filter basket has detached while brewing coffee. This caused the filter to swing out from it's position while the hot water is dripping into the carafe. Cheap plastic parts do not fit properly is probably the cause of this problem.Customer Review: A far cry from the Braun it replaced
Summary: 2 Stars
Our 8+ year old Braun wore out on us, and we purchased the KF590 to replace it, despite seeing some fairly negative comments on Amazon. The differences in quality and usability are huge! The only positive things I can say about the KF590 is that it makes a tasty cup of hot coffee, very quickly. Everything else that previous posters have stated is true, to the point that we've already replaced the Braun with a Cuisinart. If I could return it, I would.
Specific flaws; 1) Incredibly noisy, 2) Filter basket doesn't always stay shut (and when it doesn't, it makes a mess), 3) Water condenses everywhere and spills onto the counter, 4) overall, the design and build quality are second-rate. Not recommended!
Customer Review: Braun KF590
Summary: 4 Stars
We've been using a Cuisinart Grind and Brew for the last 3-4 years and although it made a good cup of coffee, it was never hot enough. While searching for a new coffee maker, I found the Braun KF590. I was undecided between the Cuisinart DCC-1200 and the Braun KF590. What sold me on the Braun was the Brita filter. The hard water in my area made us have to use bottled water to make coffee. Now I can use tap water. The coffee comes out hot and tasty. The only drawback of this coffee maker is the flimsy carafe. The glass seems very thin and fragile so you have to be very careful.Customer Review: Mot Excellent Brew
Summary: 5 Stars
As a coffee enthusiast (read: addict) and having tried over a dozen or more coffee brewers, this is absolutely the best! Additionally, it is very easy to work and I did not note any of the minor flaws mentioned in foregoing reviews. The coffee is hot, hot and hot, even after two hours, and the taste is 5-star.
