Krups (CS) 10-Cup Coffee Maker

Verdict

The Krups 10-cup brewer delivers strong, hot coffee but is one of the slowest machines and suffers from a messy carafe, making it better for users who prioritize strength over speed and tidy pouring.

Pros

  • Brewing performance & consistency 1 review 4.0
    Krups delivers solid midrange extraction in the high six twenties on TDS tests, giving a reasonably strong cup without matching the very best performers.

Cons

  • Speed & time-to-cup 1 review 2.0
    This brewer is one of the slower options, taking close to nine minutes to brew with a relatively low powered heater.
  • Cup, tray & carafe handling 1 review 1.5
    A narrow fill space and carafe that spills in quick pours make handling less convenient and require more careful use to avoid messes.
