10-Cup Capacity w/ Easy-To-Read Water-Level Indicator Brita Water Filter For Better Tasting Coffee; 2-Hour Auto Shut-Off Pause-And-Serve Feature For Mid-Brew Pour Push-Button Filter Basket Release w/ Gold-Tone Screen Filter Measures 13 By 10 BySomething about the gurgling action of this 10-cup capacity coffeemaker produces a heady aroma that will bring all coffee lovers running with their mugs. This sleek hour-glass-shaped model comes with all the amenities: a sure-grip handle on the carafe, a pause-and-serve feature for mid-brew pouring, a push-button release for the swing-out filter basket, a removable gold-tone screen filter (or, use a No. 4 paper filter), a water-level indicator, and a 2-hour automatic shutoff. What really makes coffee from this machine taste better is the replaceable Brita water filter; it significantly reduces chlorine and prevents calcification (scale) buildup. A handy dial acts as a reminder to replace the filter every two months, or simply install the space compensator if the filter is not desired. All removable parts of the coffeemaker are dishwasher-safe. This Braun product measures 13 by 10 by 7 inches, and is covered by a one-year warranty against defects. –Ann Bieri

A VERY Important Point About Negative Reviews on This One Please note, the KF550 was released around January of 2004.

This improved version (KF550) makes it…
Good coffee maker This is a good little coffee maker. I stress the word “little” because while it is a “10 cup” coffee maker, it’s those infamous 4oz cups that manufacturers seem to think people use. Which means that it actually brews about 4 decent sized mugs.We’ve gone through our share of coffee makers, and my maxim has become “the cheaper the better”. It doesn’t take too many $100 coffee makers in the trash to make you rethink your purchasing, and this little guy is actually high-end for…
Nice, Stylish Coffee Brewing Device Braun Aroma Deluxe KF550 is a very good small appliance from a company that is generally associated with better than average quality. Not all Braun products are exemplary, but the majority of them are easily better than the competition with a price that reflects the higher level of quality. This coffee maker from Braun looks nice and stylish; offers some extra bells and whistles that my most coffee maker don’t have; and carries the Braun name- a brand name I have grown to know and trust…
