Kenmore drip Coffee Maker – 12 Cup programmable cafe machine with glass pot, regular & bold brew, auto shut off large water reservoir, reusable filter, kitchen appliances for cafeteria barista, White

It brews a hot, delicious first cup of coffee and doesn’t take too long. We love it.
Makes an outstanding cup of coffee in minutes and without any mess or fuss. (Our Cuisinart was just a mess.)This Kenmore is so easy and mess-free, I set it up with coffee and water the day before, push one button to set the programmed time (3 a m in our house). Voila! Hot delicious coffee when we want it. I L O VE THIS MACHINE.Easy enough set up too.Programming the clock and timer are super easy. A tiny light comes on and even shows the programmed time. I like that a lot.We like strong coffee but have found this machine makes fantastic coffee without the need for utilizing the Bold option.(The 1-4 Cup/Bold option can be confusing. They should be separate buttons but they are not. We don’t need or use them anyway.)The coffee does not taste as good using the permanent filter as it does with paper filters. I buy the large Bunn filters on Amazon.The coffee maker works fairly quickly and you can steal a cup during brewing, but make haste.I love this carafe because it doesnt dribble; it has a clean fast pour. But because it is glass, the delicious coffee gets stale fast on the warmer.That first cup is really fantastic. Seattles Best Medium Roast is our choice for this machine, or Starbuck’s Pike’s Place medium roast…We even do half and half.What I like best is that the coffee is hot. What I like least is how fast it gets that burn-smell in the glass carafe, about the time it takes to drink that first delicious cup. I suggest if you drink more than one cup, pour the second right away, into a Yeti cup, or stainless carafe.I do not like how difficult it is to read the buttons. Tiny writing infuriates me. It isn’t even in bold lettering. But we only use the On/Off button now.Bottom line when all is said and done, this Kenmore works, it isn’t messy, and the coffee is so good every time.Update: makes such good coffee, we decided to order a stainless carafe to pour it into once the coffee is brewed. I have come back to give this coffee maker a fifth star.

Very nice simple coffee maker but a very loud beep when the coffee is brewed.
Why did you pick this product vs others?:This is a simple and stylish coffee maker.  It is easy to set up and operate.  We like the built in gold filter and the water filter to keep the it fresh.  The only downfall is the VERY LOUD beep that it makes when the coffee is ready.  There is unfortunately no way to disable it per the manufacturer.  Value for money:Overall, it a nice machine at a good price.

Perfect!!!!
It is really a nice, sturdy and great cup of HOT drip coffee maker. I confess I was using the one cup at a time for years but when the cost jumped higher than what I want to pour down the drain I bought a small 5 cup maker. It did the job but it never made a real good HOT cup of coffee. This Kenmore knocked it out of the park!! A keeper for sure. The only thing I am searching for is another gold cone filter the exact size. Every other brand I have tried off label are too small, at least what I prefer. So now the search begins. I like to always have a dry clean filter ready.It also just happens to match my kitchen gear.

Works great so far
Let’s start with the Negative*Carafe. They put Caution info on it so it’s what you constantly see. We are use to only seeing measure cups line. So seeing the seller Pic, I thought it was one of those cling on detail warnings. Not too happy with the info being permanent. I mean we understand some folks don’t get it. But the majority out there do. Please look at redoing this on your future manufacturing cause if the coffee maker stops working, we won’t be ordering again.To the Positives*Super easy to Program*Love the location on the Filter/holder. Really easy to take out and put the filter in and put back.*Water dispenser is easy to fill*Carafe Pours nicely without spillage*Heats up good and dispenses coffee pretty nice. Stays warm until it shuts off.*Perfectly Matches our white and chrome colored Kuerig.Outside of the 1 negative. Overall it’s a nice coffee maker. So far it works pretty good.

We had a quite a time looking for a white coffee pot. I know there are a lot of black/red/stainless units out there, probably to avoid any staining. This pot is white and stainless. Our kitchen is all white appliances so anything else looks out of place. We kind of balked at the need to get filters for the machine, but when my husband had his first cup – of the coffee he’s had for years – he said, THIS is the BEST cup of coffee I’ve had in a LONG time. I would attribute that to the filters, and yes, a new pot. It’s programmable which was a must, and has a 1-4 cup feature (haven’t used yet, but ideal option), comes with a gold cone filter (my fussy hubby wanted). We were a little alarmed – well he was – when the machine beeped 5 times indicating coffee ready. However, he gets up earlier than I do, and I simply do not hear it a floor up, and our bedroom is not directly over the kitchen. I’ve heard it once or twice – not bad. Anyhow, I highly recommend this Kenmore coffee pot. It had GREAT reviews and I would say that the price is a lot more reasonable than other more bougie brand names, but has similar if not superior results – a really great cup of coffee. You can get the filters for the water reservoir on amazon too – a dozen for $16. We haven’t had to change it yet. There is a feature on the coffee maker that will alert you to when you have to change the filter – the guide that came with says every 70 brewing cycles, 3 beeps will sound and a CHANGE FILTER message will blink in the control panel. There is a Filter Reset button indicator on the front panel that will also illuminate. So, it’s a no brainer when to change the filter. We’ve had the coffee pot for about 30 days now. Anyhow, yep, we love it – you will too.

It looks very nice, but mostly, I like the coffee it makes. I like the five rings (loud enough to hear from a distance away from the kitchen) and I like the nice hot temperature of the coffee.I highly recommend this coffee maker.
