 Drups Coffee Maker January 18, 2007
J. Norris
I like this coffee maker so much I have bought another one. It is easy & simple. Thanks Amazon for making it so simple to buy.
Perfect gift January 11, 2007

I bought this coffeemaker as a gift for both my mother-in-law and my father for Christmas. I needed something with a timer that wouldn't leak. I needed it to be really easy to use and easy to program. This coffeemaker was both. My Mother-in-law and father have raved about it and how easy it was to program and use. It really didn't leak and they could get a cup of coffee while it was still brewing.
Works great, Looks great January 11, 2007

 Great Coffee!! January 9, 2007
Megan Schwartz (Woodland Hills, CA United States)
This coffee maker produces some great-tasting coffee. Best part is the automatic timer so I can set it up in the evening and have the coffee waiting for me when I wake up in the morning. It also has the stop feature so I can pour my cup while the coffee is still brewing.
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.
