Title: Not a good buy
Product review: I bought this coffeemaker in June. It makes great coffee, but there are too many hassles to make it worth it. The carafe is thin and rounded and will break at the slightest bump. I had to replace this the second day I had it. It does not come with a permanent gold filter. The steam cleaning is a nice idea, but you have to remove the bean filter and dry the chamber and blades if you want to make a new pot. It is slow to brew. The water filter is also a good idea in theory, BUT you must replace it and it is only available from Krups. The pause and serve on my unit broke off two months ago, Krups replaced it as a warranty item, but it took almost two months.If you're in the market for a good grind and brew coffeemaker, I'd recommend the Cuisinart, my friend has one and has had no problems. I think Krups was in such a hurry to get all their good ideas into this coffeemaker that they didn't properly test and ended up with a costly and poor unit.
