Title: Great Coffee maker!
Review: After doing some googling, I saw that Braun has a reputation for top-notch and high quality coffee makers. I decided to give the Braun MultiServe Plus Drip coffee maker a go, and I am very happy I did! It is a good looking appliance, stylish, sturdy and well built.It has 7 programmed brewing sizes as follows: 5oz, 8oz, 12oz, 16oz, 20oz, half carafe (25oz) or full carafe (50oz). A full carafe holds five 10oz cups of coffee, which is pretty standard. It can brew an entire carafe "in less than 8 minutes," which I can verify is indeed true. I typically drink a 16oz mug of coffee every morning. Using the Gold option, my coffee comes out PERFECT. It tastes amazing, and the temperature is just right IMO (I have seen some reviews state it is not hot enough). It finished my 16oz mug in 3.5 minutes after hitting start.I have to note here, I wasn't specifically looking for a coffee maker that makes cold brew coffee, but now that I have one, I am thrilled! I love it. It makes cold brew in less than 15 minutes. This would take FOREVER doing it other ways, so in the past I have rarely made it myself. I think this might be new favorite thing about this coffee maker, frankly. I have already used this feature several times, and I've only had the coffee maker about a week.Though I usually prefer freshly ground beans, I am happy to report that it is fully programmable. Using the Auto on function, you can set the machine to brew coffee up to 24 hours in advance, which is definitely useful for those days you know you are going to be in a hurry the next morning. You can also change the amount of time it keeps the carefe warm after coffee is made, from 15 minutes all the way up to 4 hours. The warmer turns on automatically if you select a half or a full carafe. You can also turn it off/on manually. I tested out the auto program to see how easy it was, and it worked perfectly, and was very simple.Finally, it has a 3 year warranty coverage to ensure lasting performance. This definitely gives me confidence that, unlike my last coffee maker brand that broke a month after 1 year warranty ended, this coffee maker is going to last me long time! Companies don't offer 3 year warranties often, and when they do, it means the item is built to LAST.TLDR: I am enthusiastically satisfied with this coffee maker. It makes amazing coffee, easy and quick, has plenty of options, and is built to LAST. I have already recommended it to a few friends/family members.

Title: Great AIO machine, needing only a few tweaks
Review: I've always had the conventional drip pots. At the same time I've always wanted the option to make by the cup but never wanted to buy something that forces me to use special pods etc. so I would just always use the 4 cup option on my pot (about 1/4 full) and try to get my ground ratio correct. Well, come along this Coffee Maker... It can make by the cup or pot! AND even better?! It does cold/iced coffee which I love from time to time too!Traditionally I did the 24/hour in the fridge for cold brew but this is a good trade off. I would say it's not as good as the proper cold brew but it's also not bad. Considering how quick I can have it I think it's a fair trade for my last minute I didn't plan the day before days.Overall this has a lot of great things going for it. Looks nice, the plastic parts don't feel as cheap as other appliances tend to with plastic. I also found myself enjoying how quiet it is. I'm used to hearing my old machine sucking/moving the water. This one, you do initially for a few seconds and then it's just the sound of dripping liquid. I love the stop drip option too! My old pot would stop when pulling out but you'd always get that 1 drip that was dangling still. This one seems to actually stop!This brings me to my cons.When doing by the cup, it splashes all over the place. Counter, coffee pot etc. I'm not sure how best to solve this (maybe if it has a shield or top you could set on the cup like the pot?Next complaint, the keep warm does not have temperature settings. On my big/normal pot I could pick high, medium or low for the keep warm. Why does this matter? Well, sometimes I want black coffee only but I am not one of the people that can drink boiling liquids so I would set mine to low (which was still very hot!). Times when I know I was going to mix in creamer or something cold, I would bump to medium because those things of course can cool your coffee down some. Basically I had flexibility. I'm sure it wasn't adaptive heating and just cycled the burner off/on with different gaps. I feel like that feature could have really helped this otherwise premium priced coffee maker stand out.My last semi complaint is the loud beep. To be fair, my old one did the same and I just disabled it. Well, I did the same here. I disabled the beep. I wish though I could leave on and just tone it down more.Overall I would say 4.5 stars maybe. I put 4 instead of rounding up simply because it's not perfect, just very close so I can't give a perfect score.

The removable filter basket and glass carafe are dishwasher safe, and the coffee maker has a self-cleaning cycle to keep it in great condition.

Review: This machine is perfect for my needs. I was able to throw away old coffee and verismo machines and still had room on my counter. The fact that I can make cold brew and iced coffee was a big selling point for me. Would recommend to anyone looking for a coffee machine with all the features. A good buy.

Review: I must say, the superior German quality makes a difference. It is definitely one of the rare products that offers the best brewing, the ideal temperature and the most delicious filter coffee like Philips' machines. The brewing options also make life easier, it is definitely well thought out to brew directly into your thermos at home or when going out. With Tim Hortons' Colombian beans or Illy's coffees, you can achieve the best results in the world. As a coffee enthusiast, I must say that I particularly like the above brands because of their quality differences. The machine also offers a cold coffee option for hot summer days, so if you're a coffee lover, buying this along with an automatic coffee machine will allow you to prepare all your coffee options at home.

Review: Unboxed the item and it is wet and smells like coffee. Purchased new and it must have been used. It is also missing the permanent filter. Disappointed and confused.
