Product Description
From the unique shape of its carafe to its state of the art brewing and filtering technology, this coffeemaker stands out from the crowd. Even if your tap water has more in common with a public pool than a mountain spring you'll be able to make a delightful pot of coffee thanks to the unique crystal filtration system. And you can program this machine to have your pot ready and waiting to greet you first thing in the morning, which is bound to make rolling out of bed a little easier.
Amazon.com Review
Equipped with a dual filter to remove chlorine and minerals from tap water, this coffeemaker brews up to ten 5-ounce cups of full-flavored coffee with no off taste and prolongs the intervals between decalcification. The water filter is just one of the features distinguishing this handsome, compact coffeemaker. Thanks to an electronic control panel with a LCD display, the warming plate can be programmed to shut off automatically, and the 24-hour clock/timer can be set for brewing wake-up coffee. Other features include a 20-second pause in the brewing cycle when the glass carafe is removed for a midbrew pour, a carafe lid that seals in flavor and aroma, a warning light that indicates when the water filter needs replacing (replacement filters can be ordered separately), and an easy-to-read water-level window. The coffeemaker measures 7-1/4 inches wide, 12-1/2 inches high, and 11-1/2 inches deep (including carafe handle). --Fred Brack

 Lasted a good 10 years January 30, 2008

I bought mine in 1998 and it finally died a couple of days ago.
While I agree with the poster who mentioned the flashing light that doesn't go away for the filter change, and I stopped using the filters a while ago (and actually event the clock and timer) at the end of the day, the machine is reliable. Yup, for 10 years day in and day out it has brewed a solid, tasty cup of coffee and frequently many a day, without fail. The replacement is already causing problems a couple of days in.
RIP old trusty.

I have to say I don't right many reviews, but I rely on them before making a purchase. I thought I should start adding to them, although a little late for this product since it has been discontinued years ago. I bought my Krups from Sears on a open box rack for $25 back in 2002. I still see them on Ebay for $80 new. Mine is retiring to back up service as I just got a new Cuisinart from the kids for Christmas.
I've totally disassembled it twice just to clean it. Though the first time I did that I didn't snap the water tube in tight, back at the hinged section, and it would drip when I pulled the carafe out to sneak a cup before it was done brewing. My Krups has made the best tasting coffee. Everyone who drinks from it compliments the coffee. The styling doesn't get old. Water filters readily available. The first glass carafe I've owned that didn't dribble all over while pouring from it. I had to laugh though, I just read an old review complaining about the flashing filter light only resetting after unplugging the unit and having to reset the clock and timer.... uh, well, I've done that for years. Then I read a response to that review, and LO LO said to push in the reset button next to the flashing light. I went to the kitchen and took out an ink pen and pushed in on what I thought for years was the white dot "off" indicator and WHATTYA KNOW... it pushes in!! Wished I knew that along time ago! Anyway, the only complaints I've ever had was water collects under the lid from the steam, then drips down the back and onto the counter when you open it. The clock and timer has to be reset after even the shortest power outage. (That was the first thing I checked on the new Cuisinart, unplugged it, counted to twenty, plugged it back in and it did hold it's time, also checked that the carafe didn't dribble while pouring, it would've gone back if either of those things had failed, but I'll review that one when I've had it a bit longer.)
I had to modify the feet on the Krups by adding self-stick felt pads because I have to slide it out from under the upper cabs to fill it and it was marring the countertop, that will happen with about any coffeemaker. If you can get your hands on a new Krups 467 (through Amazon, Ebay, etc.) you wont be dissapointed. It is a great coffee maker.
 Poor Quality February 11, 2007

We registered for this coffee maker at BB&B for our wedding. We loved it at first until we realized:
- a little over a year later the drip stop is almost worn out. We can't "stop and pour"
- it's leaking coffee from somewhere - we can't figure out where and to keep it from ruining our counter we have to sit it in a tray
- the gold filter thing is very expensive to replace.
Good machine, lasts a long time August 14, 2006

Like most people, I've owned several coffee makers over the years, and currently have a cappuccino maker, pod coffee maker, 1-cup-at-a-time maker, but the Krups Crystal Arome Plus Time is my favorite maker if I want a good cup of coffee.
I've owned this machine since... gosh, I don't remember it's been so long, but it seems like 6-7 years, and it hasn't failed me yet.
As I read some of the other reviews here, the first thing that came to mind was, READ THE INSTRUCTIONS!
They gave the impression that it was the machine's fault the some of the features wouldn't work.
Two issues stand out. One was a complaint the flashing filter warning light wouldn't turn off. Well, push the filter reset button. Simple.
Another was that the coffee maker, warming plate turned off after only 1 hour. Well, this is the factory default so some of us don't set the thing on fire after leaving an empty pot on it before going to work (yes I've done that), thank you Krups. But if you read the instructions, you can set this feature from 1-5 hours. So there!
Anyway, there are two major factors to making a good cup of coffee, the quality of the coffee, and the maker. This maker does a fine job, for this price range. The coffee is brewed to a temperature of 170 , which is decent (the ideal temperature is around 180 ).
It took about 1 minute per cup of coffee brewed, which has slowed down from when it was new. It's probably time for a decalcifying cleaning.
It has the auto brew feature so you can set it to make coffee before you get up, and as noted above, you can also change the auto shut off time.
I feel better knowing it has a filter, which not only helps filter the water you put into it, but also help to reduce calcium build-up.
Besides, I always try to use bottled or filtered water for better taste.
The only problem I had was using the carafe in a microwave oven. Although the instructions state that you can heat the carafe in a microwave oven, when I tried it, the handle felt like it was coming loose. I guess the microwave softened whatever glue they use to mount the handle.
Because of this flaw, I would give this product a 4.5 instead of 5.
I've never had an issue putting the carafe back into the maker completely so the coffee brews correctly into the carafe, or with coffee dripping when pouring it into my cup.
Most coffee makers in this price range are about the same quality, and materials, but I bought this Krups because of the style, features, and trust in the Krups name.
I would recommend buying this item.
