Very impressive for a smaller coffee maker

My initial impression of the Braun KF590 10 cup coffee machine is that it will brew a very hot pot of coffee in a short amount of time. Since I love to drink my favorite flavor as hot as possible this is a big plus for me. With some of our older coffeemakers we would have to use hot cups as well in order to achieve this. Plus the Braun KF590 has a warmer which does a more than adequate job.

While the brewing of this machine is quiet and quick, once it gets to the end of the brew cycle things start to get louder. It will pop, spit, and let off steam louder than we were used to as we could hear this coffee maker all the way across the house. This is something to be aware of depending on your living situation but it doesn’t bother us.

Another big plus of this Braun is that it is very compact and fits nicely on our countertop. The carafe works great and the heavier basket is a plus as it won’t separate from the shell as easily as our previous Krups did. The programming is easy to use and the auto shutoff works great. Once you use this machine you will no longer need the instructions, which you barely need in the first place.

One thing it does lack is a 2 or 3 cup setting but that doesn’t make much of a difference with us, especially since it brews rather quickly. Overall I think this is one of the best designed coffee makers you can find in this price range with only a couple shortcomings. While I am only giving it 4 stars, the bottom line is that it will brew a great tasting pot (10 full cups) of coffee without any complaints.
