BraunMultiServe Plus 10-Cup Drip Coffee Maker - Hot & Cold Multi-Serve Brewer with Programmable Timer and Auto Start, Over Ice Function, Stainless Steel & Pod-Free Design, KF9270SI

After doing some googling, I saw that Braun has a reputation for top-notch and high quality coffee makers. I decided to give the Braun MultiServe Plus Drip coffee maker a go, and I am very happy I did! It is a good looking appliance, stylish, sturdy and well built.It has 7 programmed brewing sizes as follows: 5oz, 8oz, 12oz, 16oz, 20oz, half carafe (25oz) or full carafe (50oz). A full carafe holds five 10oz cups of coffee, which is pretty standard. It can brew an entire carafe "in less than 8 minutes," which I can verify is indeed true. I typically drink a 16oz mug of coffee every morning. Using the Gold option, my coffee comes out PERFECT. It tastes amazing, and the temperature is just right IMO (I have seen some reviews state it is not hot enough). It finished my 16oz mug in 3.5 minutes after hitting start.I have to note here, I wasn't specifically looking for a coffee maker that makes cold brew coffee, but now that I have one, I am thrilled! I love it. It makes cold brew in less than 15 minutes. This would take FOREVER doing it other ways, so in the past I have rarely made it myself. I think this might be new favorite thing about this coffee maker, frankly. I have already used this feature several times, and I've only had the coffee maker about a week.Though I usually prefer freshly ground beans, I am happy to report that it is fully programmable. Using the Auto on function, you can set the machine to brew coffee up to 24 hours in advance, which is definitely useful for those days you know you are going to be in a hurry the next morning. You can also change the amount of time it keeps the carefe warm after coffee is made, from 15 minutes all the way up to 4 hours. The warmer turns on automatically if you select a half or a full carafe. You can also turn it off/on manually. I tested out the auto program to see how easy it was, and it worked perfectly, and was very simple.Finally, it has a 3 year warranty coverage to ensure lasting performance. This definitely gives me confidence that, unlike my last coffee maker brand that broke a month after 1 year warranty ended, this coffee maker is going to last me long time! Companies don't offer 3 year warranties often, and when they do, it means the item is built to LAST.TLDR: I am enthusiastically satisfied with this coffee maker. It makes amazing coffee, easy and quick, has plenty of options, and is built to LAST. I have already recommended it to a few friends/family members.

After using this coffee maker, I have been extremely impressed! The first notable feature I love about this product is its sleek, stainless steel design. This gives the coffee maker a very refined and elegant look. The next notable feature to point out about this coffee maker is its water reservoir size. The water reservoir holds a total of fifty ounces, allowing me to have ample amounts of coffee for guests. Another great feature about this coffee pot is all of the different brewing modes that are included. The “Cold Brew” mode is able to make the perfect cold brew beverage in just thirteen minutes. The machine practically does all of the work itself. The strength of the cold brew has also been fairly strong. The next mode on this coffee pot is the “Over Ice” mode. This mode helps to quickly brew a strong cup (or pot) of coffee over a cup of ice. Because of its strength however, the ice does not seem to water the coffee down. The next mode, which is perhaps my favorite, is the “Gold” mode. This is essentially the go-to mode for your perfect pot of coffee. The coffee will have a great balance of flavor (but at the same time, will not be so strong that you can’t taste anything). This mode is pretty solid in perfecting my morning coffee. The final mode, the “Bold” mode, is exactly as it sounds. This mode provides a slower, deeper brew for those that want a richer cup of coffee. I find this mode to be best for extracting the maximum amount of flavor from the coffee. Another convenient and notable feature worth pointing out is the auto on feature. This enables me to specify the specific time I want my coffee to brew. The system also has an auto off feature. An additional benefit to this machine is the ability to select a brew size. You can brew anything from five ounces up to fifty ounces. This is perfect for ensuring I brew just the right amount of coffee, while eliminating any wasted coffee. Finally, I have loved how the machine stops when I remove my coffee pot, preventing messes. Overall, I am extremely impressed with this coffee maker and would highly recommend it to anyone in search of a truly customizable cup of coffee that’s sure to leave you feeling recharged.

When I received my coffee pot from Amazon, the box the machine arrived in was badly damaged. There were holes throughout the box and the side of the box looked like someone had dropped it on its side and then ran it over. The machine itself seemed to be intact enough to leave a review though. Upon setting it up it seemed high quality. The multiple brew and serving options were appreciated. I brewed my first pot on the gold setting and was quite impressed. It gave my coffee a taste that seemed true to how it should have tasted all this time. I never experienced the true flavor of my favorite coffee brand with my last coffee machine which was evident when brewing with this machine. I also like the temperature options. I can keep my coffee warm in the pot for 15 minutes or up to 4 hours. The 3 year coverage warranty is a nice addition. This machine delivers optimal brewing performance in every cup by calculating the precise water flow, temperature, and speed for every coffee preference and that's nice because my entire household drinks coffee and all has their own preferences. It brews a pot of hot coffee in under 8 minutes and a cold brew in under 13 so it seems like it has everything to like, but then I realized that it requires special paper filters to brew the coffee and a charcoal filter that has to be changed monthly, which I don't think I would keep up with. For those reasons. I would personally go with a different machine that requires less maintenance. After less than a week of owning this, the machine is no longer keeping my coffee warm. I do not recommend this coffee machine whatsoever.
