 updated review... November 28, 2008
J. Kulin (Michigan, USA)
This is an update on my first review. I originally felt that this machine wasn't much better than a $40 coffee maker. The coffee temperature is good for only the first or second cup. Other than that- the coffee tastes good and the features worked well for a while. I have had this for just under two years and it is now leaking water out the bottom. I can no longer pre-fill it at night or else the water is all over the counter in the morning. Even with filling it immediately before brewing will result in some leakage. The KithenAid name has always made me think of quality, but this being my first product from KitchenAid has made me rethink my views.
 Great Coffee November 10, 2008

I purchased the Javastudio coffeemaker as a replacement for a Mr. Coffee and I have been very pleased with the coffee it makes. There has been no change in the amount of coffee needed to brew the same amount of brewed coffee as with the Mr. Coffee. I always prewarm the carafe with hot water and use a separate pitcher to fill the coffeemaker. I have used the coffeemaker daily for a couple of weeks and have never had any problems with the temperature, quantity, or quality of the coffee. (I also roast my own beans for the freshest coffee possible.)
 Too Cool Cuppa July 20, 2008

I gave it a star because a) I have to in order to review it, and b) it's pretty. I have this coffee maker, or should I say coffee GLUTTON, in red. I refer to it as the glutton because it takes twice as much grounds to make half as much coffee! I have to actually fill the ENTIRE basket with coffee grounds in order for the brown water to have any coffee-ish flavor!
What a waste.
Also, when you fill the reservoir for ten cups of coffee, you get about 4 regular size cups of TEPID coffee. Tepid may be too harsh, but if you like coffee straight, as I do, you can drink it immediately after brewing. But, if you like creamer, as my husband does, you wind up with luke warm café au lait.
While complaining about this to my mother, she suggested the water may not be hot enough to draw the coffee from the grounds. SHE WAS RIGHT! I microwave a cup of water to a boil and add half the grounds (what I would use in any other coffee maker), and allow it to steep, like I do in my french press. After 3 minutes, I stir and pour it into the basket, shut the lid, fill the tank to "9 cups" and brew as usual. The result: A normal cuppa! Now, the problem with the warmth of the brewed coffee is still unsolved, but this extra step allows for a well-flavored cup of java.
The machine has lovely features and alerts you at time intervals to let you know how long your brew has sat, but it doesn't matter, because by the first beep--30 minutes, your coffee needs a jolt of microwave radiation!
KitchenAid? Javastudio Series 10-Cup Thermal Carafe
Poor in every way July 8, 2008
Steven Katz (New York, NY United States)
The helpful guy at Bed Bath & Beyond told me this was the best coffee maker on the market. He must be getting kickbacks or something. The first one I bought didn't work and the company helpfully replaced it at no cost. But the truth is it never worked all that well: the coffee isn't hot enough and the machine is poorly designed--try to clean the place you pour the water into and you'll see what I mean. Finally, after owning it for a year, it has started breaking down. I highly recommend you avoid this coffee maker.

This coffee maker made tasteless, luke warm coffee. The thermal carafe was good quality, but the coffee just didn't brew hot. Every mormiing we heated the carafe and our mugs, but still the coffee marginal. I finally had to go out and buy a second coffee maker. For $50 I got a Cuisinart maker that brews excellent, hot coffee. It doesn't have a thermal pot, but it is 100% better.
