Braun - MultiServe 10-Cup Coffee Maker - Stainless Steel

I purchased this model to be able to brew coffee and heat/dispense water for tea all in one, and I'm so glad I did. There were many poor reviews referencing errors and machines not working properly. I was anxious to turn mine on, but thankfully, it has worked fine. I have used it every day for several weeks now. There are only a few things that could be better. The stream of hot water sputters and sprays all over the place, especially at first. If you don't have a wide mouthed cup or have it lined up just right, you could get water everywhere. Also, the directions give no indication how often the little filter should be changed. You don't have to use it, but if you want to, you're left guessing how long it lasts. Additionally, the included scoop is very confusing. There's one set of measurements for SCA, another with recommendations from Braun. Ultimately, I use my regular scoop and not that one. Finally, the carafe is a pain to clean. If you put it upside down in the dishwasher, dirty dishwater pools between the glass and plastic collar and pours out when you take it out. There's no really convenient way to wash it and let it dry. Overall, though, this is a good, really flexible machine. For all the variety it provides, it doesn't have a huge footprint. It's pricey, and I waited months to buy it, but I'm glad I did.

The Braun Coffeemaker with Hot Water option is indeed a nice looking with many options to suite your needs. There're many error codes and one of them popped up at first time startup. Since then I have alleviated it but wondering if such a complex machine will work for long run or doomed with error codes - time will say! One thing the Hot Water caps out at 203 degrees. The water is hot at 203 degrees but not enough for tea. Not sure, if there's way to increase beyond 203 degrees.

I never thought I needed one until I got one, this coffee maker is something you purchase if you never want to have to buy a coffee maker again. It has so many features, even a month later I'm still trying to figure them all out! Oh, and it brews a great pot of regular old coffee too!

The KF9050BK Braun MultiServe Coffee Maker is an exceptional product that has completely transformed my morning coffee routine. The machine's customizable settings allow me to choose the strength, temperature, and brew size of my coffee, and the quick-brew technology ensures that I can enjoy a hot cup of coffee in just minutes. The machine is also easy to use and clean, which is a plus. Additionally, the sleek design looks great on my kitchen counter. Overall, I would highly recommend the KF9050BK Braun MultiServe Coffee Maker to anyone looking for a high-quality and customizable coffee maker that delivers a delicious cup of coffee every time.

the concept is great, but the machine itself lacks performance. The stop drip function doesn't really work to stop the drips, I had to replace the machine twice within the warranty period, and vowed that I would not replace it again, if it failed, I'd request my money back, and go with another product. The coffee it brews is just ok.. I find the "gold" setting, not really any better than any other coffee maker, and usually have to use the "bold" brew to get a decent cup. I bought this coffeemaker for the convenience of being able to make a pot or a single cup, and for that, it works great.
