Krups FME2 Coffee Maker Reviews

I received a very nice gift after a group of friends were over & went to get coffee & find out it was cold.  Turns out my Black and Decker only has a 2 hour time on a pot, which normally we drink in 2 hours.  This is a $50 unit not $20 for Black & Decker so yes, it should be doing everything we dream about for great coffee.  SO read on to what Krups tells you about it:

• Full standard 12-cup capacity with 60 oz. water reservoir
• 1100 watts provides fast efficient brewing
• Programmable clock to set the daily start time of the brew cycle - coffee is ready when you are
• Programmable auto-off from 1...

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...

This isn't my first Krups pot or small appliance.  I keep coming back to them for dependable, easy to use machines.  So when my last one died after4 years, I was thrilled to find the Krups FME2 coffee maker.  I think this pot brews faster than others I've seen, it's stylish and doesn't overcrowd or stand out on my counter.  If it lasts as long as my last Krups one, I'll be buying another Krups coffee maker.  It's also seems pretty stain resistant.  The plate cleans up well and I haven't really seen much discoloration in the filter or the carafe.  Even though I don't use the progammable...

Krups FME2 - I Love the features and the coffee it makes.. Just wish it was reliable. I'm on my 5th one.. 1st lasted 9 months and went wacky ... 2nd would not keep coffee hot. 3rd was bad from day one.. smelled of hot plastic and coffee was too hot... 4th just failed after 4 months... say no water when it's full... I'm off to Bed Bath and Beyond to trade it in (AGAIN)

This will be my last one if it fails... I hope Krups reads this...
