Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Braun KF590 Impressions Digital 10-Cup Programmable Coffeemaker
Customer Review: Grandma38127
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this coffeemaker. It is superior to any others that I have ever owned. Makes very hot coffee in a short period of time, the coffee stays hot, when you pour the coffee into your cup, it does not end up all over the counter, easy to clean, love the timer (it's great to wake up to the smell of fresh brewed coffee), seems to take less coffee to make a pot, love the handle on the pot. Originaly bought the coffeemaker due to some of the reviews I read, and must say, they are true. The only thing I am not really fond of is the "gold filter". Seems to leave some type of sediment in the bottom of the pot. Remedy that by using the paper filter. All the good far outweighs the one thing I don't like! Highly recommed this coffeemaker. My first Braun, but probably not my last.Customer Review: Braun are the best coffee makers

Braun KF590 Impressions Digital 10-Cup Programmable CoffeemakerWe have tried many coffee makers. Seems the newer ones are all show - they look good on the counter but they either wear out fast or develop mold problems in the tank. This Braun relpaced a Cuisenart that ground the coffee for you. Nice while it lasted but just was not up to the task. Fortunately we did not get rid of an old -15 yrs - Braun we stashed in the attic. We purchased the KF590 and it is a pleasure. Sorry to hear that Proctor and Gamble (Braun's new owners since 2006) are trying to stop Braun sales in the US. You can bypass US distribution and get many Braun products straight from Europe - just need a converter.Customer Review: Great coffeemaker . . . if it worked

Overall, I was impressed with this coffee maker, except that it had one terminal flaw. The filter housing swivels out for easy access. However, the catch mechanism is flawed. It is flimsy plastic and on the first coffeemaker it broke off. On the replacement pot it appeared to work fine, until you started brewing coffee. Then, as water dripped into the coffee+filter, the catch would pop due to the added weight, swing open dribbling coffee all over the counter top.
The company I dealt with was great to do business with. I explained my problems. They provided return shipping both times and gave me a full refund. I would consider a newer model of Braun coffeemaker, but I would want to see the reviews first, to see if they addressed this problem.
Customer Review: Better off buying a different coffee maker...

I bought this coffee maker based on good reviews I read here, but, sadly am very disappointed in it. It does have nice features, such as the delay brew option, the filtered water option, and the pause and pour option, but I think the drawbacks cancel those good things out. The coffee always spills out down the side of the pot when pouring, it IS loud at the end of brewing (and I'm hearing impaired), and it also got stuck and was overflowing from the basket so I had to remove the piece that allows for pausing and pouring. It also is a bit touchy and I have a hard time closing the basket and then keeping it closed. I've only had the coffee maker for about 2 months. I'm definitely going to be replacing it. I would recommend not buying it in the first place.Customer Review: Long Lasting, good coffee

I just thought I'd take a minute to rate this coffee maker. I bought this in 2003, six years ago. I had been frustrated with coffee makers that limed up after about a year from living on well water and thought this might do the trick. Boy was I right. The key is using the filters
This coffee maker is now 6 years old and still brewing a good cup of coffee. I run a coffee cleaner liquid through it about once a year (don't forget to take your filter when you clean it). It brews about 8-9 pots of coffee a week.
Simple math says I've put about 2400 pots of coffee through this coffeemaker and it's still working just fine. I came back to Amazon to order some new filters and thought I'd see if the maker was still available.
