Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Krups 229-4G Aroma Control 10-Cup Coffeemaker with Thermal Carafe, Black and Brushed Stainless Steel
Customer Review: An Expensive, Cold Cup of Coffee
Summary: 2 Stars
I'd eyeballed this coffeemaker for several months and finally bought it. While visually attractive, its performance is a huge disappointment. As others have stated, the coffee is not hot enough, even if you pull the carafe off immediately after brewing finishes. I wound up microwaving my coffee to make it drinkable... it was literally close to room temp after I put cream in it! I called Krups to explain that the machine is problematic, and the kind lady said they only received raves about this unit. I guess she hasn't been here or read other online reviews!

Description of Krups 229-4G Aroma Control 10-Cup Coffeemaker with Thermal Carafe, Black and Brushed Stainless Steel
Krups' latest development in the field of making coffee is Flavor Release Technology. What the heck is that you might rightfully ask? It allows hot water to saturate coffee grounds longer than traditional coffeemakers, resulting in a richer tasting, not bitter coffee, chockablock full of robust flavor. Better still, this delectable brew will be ready and waiting for you thanks to the programmable timer. Should your schedule allow you to dally over the morning paper, the hermetically sealed, double-wall insulated carafe maintains your coffee at the correct temperature for hours.By steeping ground coffee for nearly 2 minutes to begin the brewing process, this coffee maker delivers up to 10 cups of full-flavored coffee and then keeps it warm in an insulated thermos-carafe for hours. The thermos-carafe seals in heat during the brewing process and afterward to lock in flavor. This eliminates the need for a warming plate, which can turn coffee bitter. For making wake-up coffee, the machine's programmable clock-timer can be set up to 24 hours in advance. There's also an automatic interrupter that halts coffee flow for 20 seconds during the brewing cycle if the thermos-carafe is removed for a quick pour. For best results, remove the carafe from the base when the brewing process is complete, sealing off the carafe and insuring hot coffee. This sleek coffee maker measures 8-1/2 by 15-1/2 inches high by 8-1/2 inches wide by 10-1/4 inches deep. --Fred Brack
