Verdict

Produces a reasonably strong cup, but it’s slow and the narrow fill area plus messy pours make it less convenient. Better for strength-focused buyers who don’t mind a more finicky workflow.

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.
  • Heating-element power ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 1 review 4.0
    The heater is rated around 895W and delivered brew water near 179.2°F in testing, which is adequately hot compared with competitors.

Cons

  • Speed & time-to-cup ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 1 review 3.0
    In testing it brewed a full cycle in about 8.8 minutes, placing it on the slower side for this lineup.
  • Design, ergonomics & footprint ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 1 review 2.7
    Narrow fill channel makes adding water more finicky than wider-mouth designs.
  • Cup, tray & carafe handling ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 1 review 2.0
    A narrow fill space and carafe that spills in quick pours make handling less convenient and require more careful use to avoid messes.
