Small Perfection!
By Thomas Bricker on Reviewed in the United States on June 29, 2025
I recently decided to try a new 5 cup coffee brewer. I had been using a Cuisinart which I liked, but I wanted to try out a different machine. I started with the newer version of the Cuisinart. I was using (5 cup). I liked it well enough, but I didn’t love the form factor. So I tried out this Krups coffee maker. I much prefer it! It’s a much smaller footprint. It’s very simple and ergonomically, It just works as it should. I like the fact the carafe is glass so you can see how much coffee is left. I like the feel of the carafe handle more than the Cuisinart. The handle is bigger and more comfortable. I like the construction of the coffee holder basket. It’s clean and well-made. I like the water level indicator on the right side and the power button which very clearly indicates when it is on or off. It brews very quickly And does an excellent job. Another plus of this unit is that the heating tray is a little bit hotter than the one I was using previously. And it keeps the remaining coffee at a perfect temperature. So now I am a huge fan of Krups. So much so that I decided to get their new GX450 coffee grinder. I’m loving that too. It works really well and it is super cool looking. 😊 So all in all, I highly recommend this crops 5 cup coffee maker it’s perfect! 👍🏻

Just average

Sleek and stylish. Had all the bells and whistles I wanted in a coffee maker. Coffee tasted fine, no complaints about quality of the brew or the time it took to make a full pot. The pot, though, was slightly smaller than I anticipated. Not all "12 cups" are measured the same, and this is a bit egregious. The touchbuttons on the front - not always easy to depress. Had to press a bit harder than I wanted, but then sometimes it would recognize accidental light touches. And the programming was a bit challenging to remember what button does what (labeling isn't the greatest). The brew basket was easy to overfill with water, so the design allows it to short circuit itself out of operation. But it died after 1 week, so returned it. Too bad, I like the Krups brand but had to move on.
