I bought this coffee maker to replace my $350 Krups that I always thought made iffy coffee. Great decision! For the first time in my life, my coffee tastes like really great restaurant coffee. I've never been able to do that before. The box made mention of a "refined" brewing process for better tasting coffee, no further explanation. I don't know what that process is, but it could be a contributor here. I do notice that the coffee doesn't drip down into the carafe constantly, but rather gently shoots through in spurts, so I wonder if that has something to do with it. I have read that when water goes through the coffee faster, it's better for the taste.Also, I really like that I can (don't have to) take the water tank off the back to fill up directly, rather than having to pour it into the coffee maker. I usually spill water, so that's a nice feature for me.The electronic display has blue letters/numbers, which is gentle on the eyes and pretty. The gold tone filter means no more paper filters, which is great.So far no cons...

We have purchased several other brands of coffee makers over the years, but this is the first time we purchased KitchenAid. This coffee maker brews an awsome cup of coffee. It is easy to use & has several options so you can customize it for your own taste. Also, the 14 cup carafe is nice & this will keep your coffee hot for up to 4 hours.

Not very difficult to program for normal use, contrary to the complaints in other reviews. You do need to read the manual though. Removable water tank makes for a spill free beginning to your coffee ritual, but removing the tank and reinserting is an additional step in the process. Unlike most coffee makers, the filter basket doesn't "hang" in the machine when you add the grounds. You must remove it entirely and fill it while holding it (you can rest it on the counter top, but it's a bit wobbly that way). So that's additional step #2. Both steps add about 20 seconds to your coffee process. It makes great coffee. Uses a three pronged plug, an indication of the high wattage of the unit.
