I have a love hate relationship with my coffee maker. I love the coffee it makes, but there is one little problem. Lets talk about the good things first. I have the Krups Duo Filter Automatic Drip Coffee Maker. When making coffee, its all about the water. If you start with bad water, you will end up with bad coffee. It does not matter if you buy the most expensive beans, if the water is bad your coffee will be bad. I start with water from my reverse osmosis filter which takes out most of the bad stuff from my well water, but theres still a little taste left over. What I love about this coffee maker is the built in water filter. The filter contains both a sediment and charcoal filter to remove any extra stuff in the water. This creates great tasting coffee and I don’t have to clean the coffee pot as much as I did my old model.
Now to the thing I don’t like. The carafe is a little on the thin side. I have broken two over the last year. Its not hard to make them a little thicker but Krups made the decision to cut corners here to keep the costs down. As I write this article, I am waiting for my second replacement carafe to arrive in the mail.
If you love your coffee maker, please add a comment to this post. I would love to hear from you.
