Review on ☕ KRUPS ET351 Coffee Maker: Programmable, Thermal Carafe, 12-Cup, Black – Review & Buyer's Guide by Michelle Moore

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Brews a great cup, just keep instruction manual closed

Around 5pm I brewed 6 cups of water in the thermos. At 5am it was still hot. I was impressed with the taste of the coffee compared to my previous Mr. Coffee. Multiple Complaints. This isn't user friendly, so have the manual handy to plan your brewing process. Also the 2-4 cup brewing function just doesn't work. It brews as much water as you have. There is little to no guidance on this feature in the manual. You cannot turn off the 3 loud beeps that sound at the end of the brewing process. I got it in the stock market for about $35 otherwise I wouldn't have bought it at the regular price of $75. To update. After 3 months I sent mine in for repairs. It can't brew more than 6 cups without spilling. Replaced both the cover and the filter housing (under warranty) but it didn't help. The problem started over a month ago. So I'm downgrading it to 2 stars after only 2 months of use. To update. About a month later I received what I believe to be a newer/refurbished replacement. However, it works perfectly. Krups offered a product guarantee and didn't charge me for a return/replacement. I don't know why it wasn't replaced with a new one (replacement was in bubble wrap, no box, no papers). 4 stars. ** 2 year update - works like new. When the flush light comes on, I add a mixture of white vinegar and water (17 ounces each) and press the flush button. That's all! Run two full water cycles to rinse out the vinegar and make great coffee again. I will never use a glass carafe again and I love the Krups brand. If this review was helpful, please select useful 😁
