Krups F1984538

Advantages: Keeps coffee hot for ages
Disadvantages: None so far

...now! I bought this Krups coffee maker at a large electrical store a year ago for £69.99. It's the first time I've ever had a filter maker with a thermal jug (as opposed to a glass jug) so I did wonder if it would be any good. The maker itself is tall as opposed to the 'squat' shape which is more usual. It measures 40cm high x 20cm wide x 30cm deep (approx) and fits easily into a small corner.

Advantages: aesthetically pleasing, makes great coffee
Disadvantages: can be leaky if not carefully used

The thermos keeps it nice and hot for a couple of hours without changing the consistency--definitely an advantage over the glass pots where quality diminishes over time. It's a nice machine; I like the way it looks on my kitchen counter. A few times I have had trouble with it leaking, and ...
