Krups FMF5

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.

We bought the coffee maker in Feb. We had it for one month before it had an error and wouldn't fill because it thought there was no water in the reservoir. I took it to a service center. Didn't get it back in one month then I called Krups. They sent us a new one right away and that new one wouldn't work for the same reason. Still don't have it back and it is June. I am not happy with Krups and won't buy another.

I had this coffee maker for a month when it stopped working. The entire display would flash and coffee maker wouldn't operate. Returned it to the vendor.

Worked once, then the water reservoir started complaining that it was always empty. No amount of fidgiting, un-plugging or waiting has helped. It goes back to the store today.
