Krups FME2 Coffee Maker Review

I'm one of those pepple who love bargin hunter. I found this coffee maker markdown for $20.  I need new coffee maker anyway but i was skeptical at first about what wrong with it, is it refurbished, new, used , return or what? While talking to manager , I found out that it was the brand new last unit in the store and it was on the shelf for a while and they just recieved more other model coffee maker and need to make room. Lucky me!!

it was easy to use, make a great coffee.  From what i paid for i think it 's absolutely great buy but why i gave it only 4 stars. Considering if i bought this unit for full price as the rest of you , I expect it to be more quality of heavy duty plastic they use. I like that it has build in water filtration but that mean you have to change the filter after approximately every 2-4 months depend on the condition of your water. i don't know about other ppl but at my home we already have filter water so why would i need to double filter water for my coffee. so for me it was a waste of money that i have to keep putting in this unite with the replacement duofilter. so the company can keep sucking on my money for the long run with the filter for the rest of the unit life if i still keep using it.

Another thing i don't like is about the water reservoir.This is a fairly standard way to get to the reservoir simply flip open the top, but if the machine will be sitting under a cabinet, you'll want to keep in mind that having the lid open adds an additional 3 or 4 inches to its overall height. Although there are no water level markings inside the reservoir, there is an easy-to-read water level indicator mounted on the front left side of the machine, i found myself have to pull the unit out to pour water in.

Other than what I mention above , The unit work great and I have it over the year with no problem.
