Krups FMF5 10-Cup Coffee Maker

Pros: attractive, useful, great cup of coffee
Cons: none

It's got class - it's got style. Sure, it's a coffee maker, but that's like saying espresso is coffee. And, sure, it's a form of coffee, but it's a classy form of coffee like the Bialetti Class Espresso Machine is a classy...

Pros: Inexpensive, great aroma, great tasting coffee, simple, compact, basic.
Cons: Loud, no auto shutoff.

My name is Bugg and I’m a coffee snob. I regularly spend between $15 and $20 a week on Starbucks coffee. There. I said it. But it's just so darn good and I can't make good coffee to save my life! Really, I can’t. I’ve tried coffee ...

Pros: Plenty of features and gadgets, good looks & great coffee.
Cons: You will still get a slight stainless taste like any stainless steel coffee thermos.

At first glance when I spotted this while at the local Home Improvement store, this $99 Krups caught my eye. I've been looking for a replacement coffee maker for a few months and had not found what I was looking for. I was hoping to find one online or ...

Pros: Sturdy stainless steel construction.
Cons: Smaller size versions are prone to tipping over. A bit difficult to wash.

Having earlier reviewed the Bialetti Moka Express, which I unfortunately had to pan due to it ...

Pros: Good look. Thermal carafe. Many features. Stainless steel. Cone filter. Great coffee.
Cons: Dated LED. Hotplate used.

After my Starbucks Barista Coffee Maker dispensed its brew all over the counter for the third time I decided it was time for a new coffee maker. There were three things the Barista had, which my new coffee maker had to have as well: 1. Thermal carafe ...

Pros: Quiet. SBS dial is GREAT! No digital displays to fail. Infinitely adjustable water output.
Cons: Small water tank and dregs storage (13 shots)

One Year Review Well I just spent about an hour taking the brew group apart for a complete one-year cleaning. I ordered a service kit which included a tube of lube (food grade silicone paste) descaling solution and brew group cleaning tablets. I have ...

Pros: Compact design well-suited for under-counter use.
Cons: Terrible tasting coffee with a plastic taste. Not hot enough.

My wife and I have been drinking German Coffee ever since I was stationed there with the US Army. It has a rich, strong coffee flavor that we enjoy. Up until now, we've always used a Krups thermal carafe coffee maker to make and preserve the flavor ...

Pros: Thermal carafe avoids scorching coffee, programmable timer, stronger brew setting for small amounts
Cons: Not hot enough, pours poorly, level indicator bubbles up, hard to clean inside carafe

Looking for a coffee maker with a thermal carafe (to do away with scorched coffee & carafes) and a timer, and having been pleased with the performance and functionality of Krups coffee/espresso combo unit that we had owned for 10+ years, the Krups FMF5 ...

Pros: Simple to use, lasts for years, and it's cheap.
Cons: Doesn't brew coffee super hot.

The Braun Aromaster is about as good as it gets in auto-drip coffee makers. It is the Sherman tank of coffee makers. For around $20 you get a basic unit with a manual on/off switch, swing-out basket, and the only carafe I have ever come across that ...

Pros: This coffee machine turns out consistent and efficient coffee brewin' results.
Cons: User has to remember to turn off machine, loud brew cycle

I recently bought the Braun 10 cup coffee maker and I'm pleased with the purchase. I was on a budget and this machine was reasonably priced, which is likely due to its basic design. A wire basket filter sits inside a swing-out reservoir that holds the ...

Pros: Sounds good on paper, looks good
Cons: Fails at the basics you would take for granted- rebate denied

I had Krups coffee maker that lasted 18 years or so, and I was very happy with it right up until the end. So naturally when it needed to be replaced, I immediately figured I'd buy another Krups. Boy am I disappointed! Compared to the old one, the ...

Pros: Super quiet
Cons: Everything else! See list in body of review.

Update: Ummm... this review was submitted for a Delonghi SuperAutomatic coffee maker several years ago.  Long enough ago that I no longer know which model.  Somehow Epinions.com has misassigned it to this Krups 10-cup coffee maker, which I've ...

Pros: -Great looking and tasting latte's & cappuccino's -One button operation -Well built
Cons: -Good but not "god shot" espresso shots. -Expensive machine!

Yes, you'll flinch when you see the price tag! Right now this is the king of super automatics. My work hours are all over the place and many times there is just no time to devote to pulling the perfect espresso from a manual or semi machine. Add to ...

Pros: Water filter, Never overflows, quiet brew.
Cons: How do you turn that alarm off?

I use thermal carafe coffeemakers because my sister-in-law has a habit of smashing the glass carafes in the sink. Purely by accident, she assures me but, she never does the dishes either. Go figure. I am also a big believer in using activated ...

Pros: Great temperature, fully customisable drinks, looks great, large water capacity, one-touch cappuccino function, very quiet.
Cons: Height of adjustable spout could be greater; Price; Consumables expensive.

I have just replaced my Gaggia Titanium which after 3 months decided to break down. I decided rather than replace with the same machine to go with the much-praised Jura machines. The Z5 particularly appealed with it's unique One-Touch Cappucino function, ...
