 Made in China August 28, 2008

Krups FME2 12-Cup Programmable Coffeemaker with Glass Carafe, WhiteI've had many Germany manufactured coffee makers over the last 40 years and had no complaints until now. This machine lasted only 3 months before the heating element went haywire. Also have to say that programming is a nightmare and was used only once before I decided it's easier to manually turn the machine on each morning. When Krups decided to have their machines made in China, they apparently outsourced the quality control also. This is my last Krups.
toxic odor May 7, 2008

I noticed a strong, toxic smell when I first took it out of the box. After washing all the non-electrical components and running a full carafe of water through it, I made coffee with my brand new Krups. The coffee seemed fine...a few minutes later I started feeling sick to my stomach.
I'm not a hypochondriac. I really want this coffeemaker to work out. But, is it worth drinking toxic poison every morning?
So, I washed all the removable parts again and ran at least 10 tanks of water through to see if the odor would subside. It seemed fine until I turned it on, when the hot steam seemed to coax out the plastic aroma. I'm drinking another cup of carcinogen...I mean coffee...right now. We'll see how it goes.
 This is not the best coffee maker, that's for sure March 29, 2008

Drips terrible when you pour, the glass viewing piece that shows the water levels leaks. I don't recommend this one. It's the second one I had, and I just think they are lousy. Wish I had not bought this one. Hard to set the times and clock as well.I'd return it if I could.

I should have listened to the other reviews. I also have had many great Krups coffeemakers in the past but this one just doesn't cut it. I am really sorry I purchased it.
Makes me REALLY miss my old ProAroma February 24, 2008

I pretty much agree with M. Frobisher and M. Larson, except for some of the programming problems, which Krups may have fixed without making it clear by a sub-model number change (if so, yet another indication of the brand's demise...).
The current (January 2008) model does allow more control of programming than is apparent in the reviews a year or two old. Unless I press "PROG" the night before, the clock icon does not appear on the display and the auto-function doesn't start the next morning. It DOES force me to do multiple keypresses to confirm the programming each time I want to set it to make coffee next morning, unlike the old ProAroma, which just required one keypress and had a nice green light you could see two rooms away, instead of a tiny clock icon you have to squint to see.
I think I'm gonna have to make lines with a sharpie on the inside of the water reservoir for the usual amounts of coffee I make, because of the already-mentioned propensity of the water level indicator to develop air bubbles - HIGHLY ANNOYING! I've tried pouring slowly, fast, in different locations in the reservoir - none of that makes any difference.
I also mourn the demise of the removable lid from the carafe, and the old band-attached handle - I'm expecting the latter to detach itself sooner rather than later, if the thinner glass doesn't break first.
I would maybe have rated this thing two stars, but for the contrast to the old ProAroma, and the disappointment I'm feeling in comparison.
If I run into another cone-filter (as opposed to flat, Mr. Coffee-type filter) machine that seems better, I may just chalk this thing up to sad experience and get rid of it.
