Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of KitchenAid JavaStudio Collection Programmable Coffee Maker with Thermal Carafe 10-c.
Customer Review: Great replacement for my Krups
Summary: 4 Stars
First let's settle everyone's "tepid at best" coffee temperature issue. People, this is a carafe made of SS. The carafe will be at room temperature from a cold start. So if it's winter, and your home is heated to 60'F while you sleep, that carafe will be 60'F when you brew. Basic physics 101 says, a cold surface will extract heat from a warm surface. To cure this, you will need to pre-warm the carafe, by simply fully preloading it with hot tap water while you grind and fill your basket. That little measure will preserve 20'F of the brewed water minimum. All my thermal carafe coffee makers robbed the coffee of temperature, it's the nature of the beast. There's no alternative since the mechanism to brew auto-drip coffee works on the principle of percolating the water in batches; Water percolates at 212'F. Unless you have a magic grits kitchen scenerio as described in My Cousin Vinny movie, water will never percolate higher than 212'F, above that it's called steam. So here's the skinny after owning mine for almost 2 years.
PROs
- Attractive design.
- Best lid design on the market. Very simple and requires no actuating from the user, just simply pour. Clever gravity enabled flaps close when upright to trap in heat. No latch to break like the overly complicated designed Krups.
- Brewed time lapse indicator light is an interesting concept. I don't use it since we go through 10 "cups" of coffee pretty quick.
- Permanent gold filter.
- Ample room to pour your water.
- Well designed filter cradle. Easily removes with filter for cleaning and smartly seats itself when re-installing.
- Excess cord can be tucked inside unit.
- Intuitive electronic controls. You don't need to read the manual to use.
Cons
- Typical lower temperature for steel carafe coffee maker.
- Clock does not have temporary memory if your power blinks. I find any clock product made after 1990 not having a memory feature for clocks is absurd. I thought we left the blinking 12:00 on VHS recorders behind in the 80's.
- Only 10 cupper carafe.
- Replaceable charcoal filter is difficult to find. I use filtered water from our overpriced Whirpool fridge PUR II filter, so it's not an issue for me. I have never replaced my KitchenAid filter.
- Water level is poorly designed. Unless you use a dedicated premarked water filter, you will have a hard time seeing the water level indicator marks on the filter handle. I guess this is a fashion decision KitchenAid chose instead of the unsightly view glass.
