Krups has designed their latest automatic drip coffeemaker with true coffee connoisseurs in mind. The Krups design team focused on the mechanics of making a good cup of coffee using an automatic drip by factoring in issues like: water temperature, the amount of time the coffee is in contact with the water and the type of filter used. By expanding on the notion that the coffee itself is not the only factor that goes into a fine cup of coffee, Krups is acknowledging the importance of a good maker.
