Stock up on Paper Towels! You're Gonna Need 'em!
Let me start off with saying that when this coffee machine works, it makes a very good tasting (though barely warm) cup of coffee. The coffee is rich and flavorful, never bitter or scorched. Unfortunately, the hassles are not worth it.
Like many others here, my previous Kitchen Aid coffeemaker was recalled and this was sent as the replacement.
1st off, The coffee is not warm enough until it has sat on the hotplate for about an hour (and by then the taste is ruined).
2nd, the design of this machine is questionable. There is a bizarre 'split' lid on the top of the machine (one hinged lid over the coffee grounds basket and one at the rear for the water). The rear cover is supposed to allow easy water filling, but you can't see the volume gauge unless you have both of the doors open. So what is the point of the second door? Also, when you open the top to make a new pot, you get a flood of water condensation that drips all over the place, down the...
Looks Great but does not Last
I read all the Negative reviews on the Kitchenaid coffee maker. Im one of those people that keeps a open mind about the problems that other people have. Most of the time I figure its user error or that its a 1 in a 1000 chance the problem will happen to me. Well I bought the coffee maker to match all my Kitchenaid appliances.

After 2 weeks if made more than 4 cups of coffee at a time it would leak out of the base, so I had coffee to clean off the counter after each use. I did find that if I used the 1-4 cup setting it would not leak. So Loving the coffee makers look I figured I would deal with this and use the 1-4 cup setting. For 1 month all was fine not a problem. One morning I went to make coffee and I got "ERROR 2" on the display. In the manual it said to turn off and back on and if the error came back it must be repaired. It was sent back and my money refunded. I ended up getting the...
I want my old pot back!!!
Hmmmmm. Seems like everyone here received this model in exchange for a recalled model, including me. Kitchenaid...please re-attach the cord and send me the fire hazard back!! This coffeemaker is attractive, but looks aren't everything. Each time we have made a full pot, the coffee grinds have overflowed into the carafe, even though we use Bunn oversize filters. We have had to resort to brewing less than the maximum amount. Sigh. The water does not reach proper brewing temperature and the coffee is weak. I guess in this case, I got what I paid for. Nothing.
