Even the most basic coffee maker can be expensive, but the KRUPS Essential 12-Cup Drip Coffee Maker is surprisingly affordable, especially considering all its features. It has a permanent coffee filter which saves a bit of money and means less mess with those flimsy paper filters. There are automatic start, automatic reheating, and automatic shut-off capabilities. You can brew up to 12 cups of coffee in this one machine, which makes it perfect if you are entertaining.
The KRUPS Essential 12-Cup Drip Coffee Maker is very light and only weighs 4.63 pounds. However, its dimensions are rather bulky so you will need a bit of space to house it. The stainless steel design is modern and will fit any kitchen. Another nice feature is that you can program your brew time in advance. This is especially useful if you love waking up to the smell of coffee. Programming is easy as you simply press the hour and minute buttons on the front. You can also choose the strength of the coffee by pressing one button. There is a small display screen that tells you the time, although the numbers are a bit small, so if you have limited vision, this might be an issue.
What do we love it for?
- The controls are all easy to navigate. The permanent filter is easy to use and clean. You can select the brew strength.
What were we disappointed with?
- The display screen is on the small size. The water reservoir is not removable.
