Title: Nice design, Poor coffe
Review: Krups has made a visually pleasing, simple, and sturdy piece of equipment in this coffee maker. The carafe works well and feels solid. The filter basket is a nice, single piece of plastic that hangs on the swinging, spring-loaded door. A light-up LCD clock and display is easy to read and is surrounded by four comfortable buttons. Unfortunately, the coffee is unacceptable. I typically brew a 4-cup pot daily, 6-cups on the weekends, and 8 or more just once or twice a month. Though the machine has a special 1-3 cup option, the coffe in my 4-cup brews was much too week. Upon closer examination of the grounds, I discovered that they were not getting properly soaked. Despite what appears to be a showerhead design, only the very center was wet and a deep 'well' was created in the grounds by the stream of coffee coming out of the center hole. The resulting brew is weak and the majority of the grounds wasted.
