This machine looks great and its one-button operation is a godsend compared to the complexity of some new models. My only complaint is that twice now, grounds have overflowed the top of the filter basket, which makes a mess on the countertop. Don't know why this happened as the carafe was properly in place and the amount of coffee being made was only half the capacity. Still, I have no plans to trade it in...yet.
A very good, basic coffeepot that replaced an earlier Krups model. Only thing I'd change is to add the capability to keep the coffee warm longer than 2 hours.
It was a gift for which my sister loved until it broke yesterday. You are already sending her a replacement (or will be when she does her part) for which we are both grateful.

This is the worst coffee maker I have ever purchased. It has a severe case of over-engineering. Every part of it is too complicated and it can't make a simple cup of coffee. As an example, the water level indicator is a fancy channel of reflective light that is not actually filled with water, it's filled with mirrors that light up depending on how much water is nearby. So you have to stand at a certain angle to see those reflections and know how much water you've poured. Terrible product.

In defense of Krups... I nearly did not buy this coffee maker after reading the negative feedback. Fortunately I opted not to become a sheep and decided to think for myself. I do not recall most of the items listed, but one was that it was impossible to gauge the amount of coffee remaining in the carafe. Hey! As the picture and description implies, it is a metal carafe. Another person was dissatisfied with the sight gauge indicating the water level. Guess I must have superior eyesight, as I failed to find that to be a problem. As for not being able to fill the chamber without dribbling water. I have no comment. And oh yeah, there was even a complaint that the new unit did not come with a gold-tone filter. As far as I can ascertain, several folks opt to use paper filters. I am so happy and proud to have thought for myself, for now I own another superior Krups coffee maker.

This electric kettle is fast! The mechanic in the lid requires careful handling, and as a European, I would appreciate a metric scale on top of ounces and cups, but those are little things. Overall, this kettle is great!

Disappointed. We have had this burr grinder for less than a year and personally I'm disappointed. There are setting for the machine to grind the correct amount of coffee depending on the numbers of cups you are making and ours after about 8 months started grinding way too much coffee. So we now have to grind the coffee and measure it out using the coffee scoop.

We've had ours a year now, and it's been excellent. We used it many times a day. Still boils quickly, shuts off as it should and doesn't add any bad taste to the water. No scaling has built up inside the kettle, which is good. We'd buy it again. Con: A bit heavy, but it's OK.
Zappos was great throughout this whole transaction, including one return.The Krups KM1010 I would recommend for purchase. I prefer the idea that less is more, which this unit offers. It has one button: on and off. Genius. What I don't care for is the bulky design. The lid cannot open underneath my kitchen cabinets. I also do not like the water compartment and basket which are difficult to use. Lastly, the decanter and lid do not easily separate for cleaning. In the end, my preference for the lack of frills outweighs the need for design upgrades.

We got it as a present and soon after, one morning my wife placed a bagel in the toaster and went to shower, and about 8 minutes later jumped out all wet, 'cause the smoke alarm went off. The kitchen was filled with smoke, when the bagel got all burnt. The On/Off button would not respond and she was wise enough to pull the plug. Later we tried it again, and it was working fine. Next morning I, the husband, stayed next to the toaster-oven when it was heating the bagel. Once the counter got down to zero, the LCD display went gibberish, and the heating elements kept heating at full power! Again, the only way to stop this was pull the plug. This priduct is dangerous! I did some research, checked reviews on the site this product was purchased from, Bed, Bath and Beyond. There is one review that tells the same exact story! We took this oven back to the store, purchased a wonderful toaster-oven from Breville, and never looked back.
I bought my first Krups grinder like this one 25 years ago and it still runs perfect. But I can tell this one is not the same. But what the heck. That's life. Everything made in China now, which is not a bad thing...it's just that it lacks the deep sense of quality the German made Krups has. Gets the job done and the price is right. Zappos is the best place to shop in the entire world.

I gave been grinding my beans for decades and this grinder is the best one that I have ever had. It is high quality, durable, and inexpensive.
Excellent quality coffee grinder to replace my awesome Braun which is no longer made in this country. I love the compact size for my counter and it grinds enough coffee at one time for a 12 cup coffee maker.

Lid is secured with tiny plastic hinge. Broke off after 4 months of daily use.

I have had this machine for a couple of months. I was a big Krups fan and would hope that they are listening to the consumer reviews. Every pour dribbles coffee on the counter. The inside water level indicator melted, and now the machine leaks every time I put water in reservoir. I am on the hunt for a new machine and gun shy to buy another Krups.

This toaster does not brown the same every day. I always have English muffins and one day they're brown and the next day they're still white when it pops up. I'm returning it.

This is the worst coffee maker I've ever had! It does make a decent cup of coffee, but (1) it's difficult to get the filter door to latch and when I do manage it, it sometimes pops open mid-drip, making a huge mess. I often put a rubber band around the whole machine to keep the door shut. (2) The indicator tube on the side that is supposed to show you how many cups of water have been added gets bubbles in it which make it hard to get an accurate read. You can always measure the number of cups of water you want before you pour it in, but this indicator can't be relied on to make sure you got it right. (3) It is nearly impossible to pour a cup of coffee from the carafe without some of it dribbling down the outside of the carafe and all over the counter. I'm thinking of replacing this machine even though I've only had it a few months.

I was so terribly disappointed in this product I wrote to the company. The coffee maker perks so fast that it uses twice as much coffee than any previous coffee makers I have owned. I grind my own beans. After the third e-mail of silly questions I replied to the company that this was just a waste of my time and that is when they asked for the model/serial number. This coffee maker comes without a filter. I would never purchase another Krups and miss my Braun!

Krups is a statement.
