Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Braun KF510-WH AromaDeluxe 10-Cup Coffeemaker, White
Customer Review: Good Aroma and Taste
Summary: 5 Stars
The aroma and taste of a cup of coffee is important to me. After having used this coffeemaker daily for more than six weeks, I am very satisfied with the aroma and the taste of the coffee it brews. I do believe that the water temperature and the brewing speed are two important factors to the coffee aroma and taste. The Braun does these two things just right. I hope this coffeemaker will remain satisfactory for many years.
The unit I have was made in the Czech Republic. I have two minor complaints: some plastic parts including the locking mechanism of the filter basket were not fitted snugly; and it is not easily to see the water level through the blue measuring window of the reservoir.
I do not use its Brita water filtration system. I pour in already filtered water. These filters usually do not effectively remove the calcium from the water. Without the water filter, however, the markings on the reservoir need to be adjusted to match the markings on the carafe. The water filter takes up the volume about one cup of water. For example, without the water filter in place, six cups of water shown on the reservoir marking would brew seven cups of coffee into the carafe.
To keep the good taste, I do not leave the coffee cooking on the hot plate. I use a stainless steel thermal bottle to keep the coffee warm for about six hours. I use a gold-tone permanent filter made of stainless steel mash, though some friends say unbleached paper filters would improve the taste. By the way, it is my humble opinion that the programming features on the more expensive models are mostly counter productive to the aroma and the good taste of coffee.
3/25/08 update: After nine months of daily use (often twice daily), the hot plate began to lose the Teflon coating in the contact area with the carafe, though I shut off and cleaned the coffeemaker immediately after every brew. The aroma and the taste remain satisfactory.
Description of Braun KF510-WH AromaDeluxe 10-Cup Coffeemaker, White
Fast, flavorful brewing and an abundance of conveniences distinguish this Braun model. The filter basket comes right out for ease of filling and cleaning. The carafe has an open handle design, and the handle is made of non-slip material in a comfy ergonomic shape. Perhaps best of all it's equipped with a Brita water filter, to ensure that your cup of coffee is the best that it can be.Braun's AromaDeluxe is a no-nonsense, easy-to-use coffeemaker for those who still prefer a basic cup of coffee. The coffeemaker brews up to 10 cups using a fast brewing method that thoroughly extracts the rich flavor and aroma from your ground coffee. The integrated Brita water filter also contributes to better-tasting coffee by screening out chlorine and other harsh minerals, plus it prevents calcification within the water tank. A marker on the top of the water tank helps you keep track of when the water filter needs to be changed. Other handy extras on the AromaDeluxe include a filter release button, which swings the detachable filter basket open for filling or easy cleaning, and a pause-and-serve feature, which stops the brewing while you pour a cup of coffee midway through a cycle. For safety, the glass carafe has a comfortable, nonslip handle with an open design to accommodate larger hands. Further safety measures include a large, red power button that is easy to see but difficult to switch on by accident. This coffeemaker is covered by a one-year limited warranty. --Cristina Vaamonde
