Krups Reviews

I purchased a Krups Pro Aroma Plus coffee maker from Amazon because the previous Krups machine we had owned for over a decade worked so well and produced great coffee. Sadly, the new machine arrived with a bent bottom so it wobbled badly. Despite its $80 price tag, it was clearly made of cheap, light-weght plastic (much flimsier than our old Krups machine). The owners manual is printed on flimsy brown paper and difficult to read. The coffeemaker arrived covered in dust inside the manufacturer's box. Amazon's return label was removed - suggesting someone-else had already returned it. Several years ago, we had the same experience with a Krups espresso machine : The original machine we bought in 1980 had worked perfectly for over 10 years. So we decided to go with Krups to replace it. After three replacements in 18 months, we gave up and bought a Gaggia instead. Clearly, Krups drip coffee machines have sunk in quality in the same way.
Our advice : Do NOT buy Krups coffee-makers of any kind. Krups used to make high quality machines - but not any more.

I just wrote up a return for this coffee maker after having received it less than a couple of hours ago. The unit is defective, it won't feed the water through to the carafe. I've been a Krups fan for many years and have owned several of their coffeemakers and when they work, they're excellent. This product "appeared" to me to be re-conditioned as the exterior had scratches which shouldn't be on a brand new product. If you do buy this product, I advise you to attend to it the first time you attempt to use it. Due to the defect, the water sits in the back of the unit and begins to boil, this caused a large portion of the water to spew out over the lid and could have been dangerous with the unit so close to an outlet.

A long time Mr. Coffee user, I treated myself to this Krups with all its bells and whistles. What a mistake! After 10 months, it just stopped working. Granted, it made pretty good coffee when it worked but those memories aren't helping me now.

It's at a service center now (I guess I'm lucky to have one within 30 miles of my house) and the comment I got was: "It's going to be a while. We have a backlog of Krups machines right now." So my fancy coffee maker and it's deep-brew system are gathering dust in an applicance shop. Color me unhappy.

I dropped my Mr. Coffee (half the price of the Krups, by the way) off the back of Hummers, drug it through sand, muck, rain, snow - it always turned on and brewed a drinkable cup of coffee. Lesson Learned.

The quality of this coffee maker does not match the price. The handle fell off of my first carafe. Fortunately that was under warranty. I received the replacement carafe and in less than 5 months later, the handle fell off of that carafe also. Because it is not under warranty, a replacement carafe is about $65.00.

Although I have been very pleased with other Krups coffee makers and other Krups appliances, this one was a big disappointment.

One speed (high) didn't work at all and the other was useless. This was using brand-new Ultra Duracell batteries too. Surprising from Krups! Maybe that's why it's discontinued?

It's really easily for anyone who usually need to shine their shoes. But, it needs to prepare a lot of battery for your daily use. However, if you use rechargable battery, that will be fine. It needs 3 battery but four, that's what we need to notice.
