Review title: Lousy, inconsistent coffee
Product review: We've been using Brauns for years -- they make a decent cup of coffee even if I can never seem to pour from the carafe without spilling. But this most recent one...bad, bad, bad. Some key flaws:1. On our previous machine, we used 5-6 coffee scoops to make a strong 8 cup pot. This one requires at least 8. That's 33% more coffee.2. Even with the additional coffee, the taste is inconsistent. One day it is strong enough...the next day it tastes like a brown crayon dipped in warm water.3. The coffee never seems to get hot enough. We don't even keep the carafe on the burner, preferring to pour it right into a thermos.4. A good 20% of the time, something weird happens -- the water may spray out of the grounds; the water may start to leak; etc. etc.The unit is now on its way to trash-heap retirement. And I can say that its replacement will not be a Braun. Too bad.
