Kenmore Drip Coffee Maker - 12 Cup Programmable Cafe Machine With Glass Pot, Regular & Bold Brew, Auto Shut Off Large Water Reservoir, Reusable Filter, Kitchen Appliances For Cafeteria Barista, Red

Makes an outstanding cup of coffee in minutes and without any mess or fuss. (Our Cuisinart was just a mess.)This Kenmore is so easy and mess-free, I set it up with coffee and water the day before, push one button to set the programmed time (3 a m in our house). Voila! Hot delicious coffee when we want it. I L O VE THIS MACHINE.Easy enough set up too.Programming the clock and timer are super easy. A tiny light comes on and even shows the programmed time. I like that a lot.We like strong coffee but have found this machine makes fantastic coffee without the need for utilizing the Bold option.(The 1-4 Cup/Bold option can be confusing. They should be separate buttons but they are not. We don’t need or use them anyway.)The coffee does not taste as good using the permanent filter as it does with paper filters. I buy the large Bunn filters on Amazon.The coffee maker works fairly quickly and you can steal a cup during brewing, but make haste.I love this carafe because it doesnt dribble; it has a clean fast pour. But because it is glass, the delicious coffee gets stale fast on the warmer.That first cup is really fantastic. Seattles Best Medium Roast is our choice for this machine, or Starbuck’s Pike’s Place medium roast…We even do half and half.What I like best is that the coffee is hot. What I like least is how fast it gets that burn-smell in the glass carafe, about the time it takes to drink that first delicious cup. I suggest if you drink more than one cup, pour the second right away, into a Yeti cup, or stainless carafe.I do not like how difficult it is to read the buttons. Tiny writing infuriates me. It isn’t even in bold lettering. But we only use the On/Off button now.Bottom line when all is said and done, this Kenmore works, it isn’t messy, and the coffee is so good every time.Update: makes such good coffee, we decided to order a stainless carafe to pour it into once the coffee is brewed. I have come back to give this coffee maker a fifth star.

Looks great on the counter in my white kitchen and makes great coffee. I love the #4 cone filters this unit uses rather than the pleated basket filters typically found on 12 cup coffee makers. Be warned however, that when it is done brewing the coffee it sounds off with an extremely loud notifier. Late sleepers in the house may find this annoying, my wife certainly did. The horn is through hole soldered onto a circuit board behind the top brushed aluminum trim, same circuit board as the buttons and display. It easy enough to dissemble to access the board to de-solder and remove the horn. I didn't need the horn since I can tell the coffee is ready by looking at the clear glass carafe.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:This is a simple and stylish coffee maker. It is easy to set up and operate. We like the built in gold filter and the water filter to keep the it fresh. The only downfall is the VERY LOUD beep that it makes when the coffee is ready. There is unfortunately no way to disable it per the manufacturer. Value for money:Overall, it a nice machine at a good price.

Purchased because I wanted a compact white coffee pot. Makes great coffee. Wish the buzzer could be switched off. It's not too loud, but unnecessary. I wish the top of the pot and filter holder were metal or gray, as coffee drips stain the white plastic.I haven’t seen replacement pots online and will want one when staining on top starts to bother me.

Excellent coffee pot for the moneyCoffee is very hot

Absolutely Love this coffee maker! The coffee makes quickly and it is Hot, not lukewarm! It has a water filter and a copper basket, which can use a #4 cone filter. It’s also beautiful & matches my stainless steel appliances. What’s not to Love, it’s definitely a 10❤️

This is a good coffee maker! It was packaged well, arrived on time, and user friendly. In addition, it is beautiful, with no damage, and I have had no issues with it at all. I have used it several times. I highly recommend this item.

Enjoying my coffee from this Kenmore. I didn't realize they were still around nor did I realize the brand made coffee makers. Coffee brews quickly, is hot and tastes great. I thought other reviewers were being dramatic about the loud alert once coffee is brewing. They weren't wrong! The three beeps can be heard across my 1400 sq feet home but hey, big deal. It's 5 seconds of your morning! Carafe never leaks when pouring, and I really appreciate that, too.
