"Great cup of coffee, easy to use"
After loving our Braun Flavor Select Coffee Maker, we tried in vain to replace it with the same model but they didn't seem to be offering that product anymore. Next, we tried a Cuisinart. It just wasn't the same, and we have longed for a better coffee maker since then. This new Braun is great. Very easy to use, no bells and whistles. Makes a great cup of coffee.

"Good choice for me"
Coffeemaker is simple to operate and relatively conserving of counter space.
Makes a good hot cup of drip coffee. Styling is nice except for the "fat red lip" on/off switch- they could have made this less obtrusive!
I hate those Dearth Vader Cusinarts- you know the ones that look like Sherman tanks- this is a much more attractive alternative. The swing basket comes off- easy to pop in the dishwasher with the filter. I definitely recommend this machine!

"Good coffee maker"
This is a good little coffee maker. I stress the word "little" because while it is a "10 cup" coffee maker, it's those infamous 4oz cups that manufacturers seem to think people use. Which means that it actually brews about 4 decent sized mugs.

We've gone through our share of coffee makers, and my maxim has become "the cheaper the better". It doesn't take too many $100 coffee makers in the trash to make you rethink your purchasing, and this little guy is actually high-end for us.

It's simple to use - there's only one button on it, and it makes a great cup of coffee. No drips from the spout, either.

There's been a trend lately for manufacturers to include elaborate water filters, but I think this is a scam to force people to keep buying them. This unit also has an inline filter and a little dial to remind me to buy a new one each month, but guess what? I took the filter out, and the coffee still tastes fine.

"Back To Braun"
I have used Braun products for years. I made the mistake by buying a different brand of coffee maker when my old Braun needed replacing. I bought it on special sale through Amazon (where else). I had it one month and was back online to go back to the Braun.

"Excellent Product- Great Coffee- Great Features"
I shopped around for a while, reading reviews and comments before selecting the Braun. I was looking to upgrade to a nicer looking machine and was particularly interested in a very sleek design. However, after reading customer reviews I came to notice that the ultra modern look with stainless steel caraffe may look the part but is not practial as you cannot see how much coffee is left.

The Braun had everything I was looking for. It looks great and you can see the coffee level. There are many well thought out features. It has a very nice blue water level at the back for clear visibilty so you can easily and accurately measure the number of cups. Rather than having to lift the top up to add the coffee, the filter swings to the side for easy use.

Not to mention the Brita filter and the reusable gold filter- some extra features that many other machines in the same price range do not include.

I have one minor complaint when I am rinsing out the caraffe and push the lid to open it, often the lid will come unhitched as it seems quite loosely fitted. However this is a very minor complaint and the lid clicks right back in to place.

Overall this is a fantastic little machine that makes great coffee. It was up and running within 10 minutes of opening the box. I would highly recommend to anyone.

What our customer's say!

"4 stars for sure, maybe 5 stars", The coffee is hot! Just the way I like it. So far so good with this Braun unit. The only thing I'm not sure about is the cost of replacing the water filter. This machine takes up less counter space than my prior machines which is nice, too.

"Black Coffeemaker", This coffeemaker is sturdy, practicle & very nice looking. It has a nice carafe with a good grip on the handle. We have a filtered water system so we do not need the filter. It does make a great cup of coffee without all the useless attachments.

"Braun K550-BK Coffee Maker", This is the perfect coffee maker for a guy like me who needs to make 1 tall, hot, well-brewed cup of coffee to take with him on the ride in the morning. It's a GREAT item at a GREAT price - much better and hotter cup than my old Mr. Coffee Maker from Walmart. Thanks Braun; I love it.

"great little coffeemaker", bought this to replace my Mr. coffee which had a thermal pot. You couldn't tell how much coffee was left. The features I like are the size(doesn't take much room on the counter), the style, the two-tone color (I don't like stainless steel), easy to fill with water that is filtered, the comfortable handle, and, of course, the great tasting HOT coffee.
Highly recommended.

"Very satisfied", This product suits our needs to a T. No electronics to fail except a 2hr shutoff which is a good safety feature. The carafe is easy in and out, does not spill when you pour, and has an ergonomic handle. It brews fast and delivers hot coffee. It is a militta style basket (good) with swing-out easy access. Bottom line is that it is very functional while being tasteful and doesn't cost a fortune. The one and only drawback was that we would have preferred a white coffee maker. Oh, well, it's the coffee that counts.

"Great Coffee Maker", This is the second Braun coffee maker we have owned and wouldn't think of owning any other. This model is the successor to our previous model which lasted about 7 years or so. It makes great tasting coffee quickly. It uses the cone shaped #4 filter, and uses a water filter which lasts about 2 months, which in my opinion is not really needed. It doesn't leak when you remove the canister to pour coffee.

"Fine.", Fine brewer and good price. Doesn't drip, no leaking onto the warming plate, makes hot coffee.

"Very pleased with it", My boyfriend and I got this coffee maker over the Christmas. We have been using it daily for weeks now. We are both very satisfied with the machine. It makes coffee hot and fast, and we both love the taste of the coffee. It's our first coffee maker, so I can't really tell if the water filter makes much difference. But I like to know that the water I am drinking is purified.

We have not encountered any problems with it at all. It's dishwashable, which I think it's convenient. We both like the gold-tone filter. I have no problem with the carafe; some reviewed mentioned it might drip, but I think it works fine for me.

In all, I think it's a great quality coffee maker.

"Coffee Lovers", The Braun KF550-BK was delivered 2 days after ordering it. I think it would have taken that long just going to the local Mall. Anyhow, we're quite pleased with it other than the carafe tends to drip while pouring a fresh cup. The water filter works wonders for a fresh coffee taste.

"Compact & attractive design", We bought this coffee maker to replace a Braun KF-180 12 cup FlavorSelect model which had developed a leak after many years of service. As that model was no longer available, we purchased the KF-550 from Amazon. Unlike many of the current crop of large and for us unattractive designs, it is compact and good looking. Unfortunately this new design falls short in some critical areas when compared to the previous model.
* The carafe tends to spill coffee when pouring
* The auto-shut off feature allowing removing the carafe for an early cup while still brewing is ineffective
* The coffee is not as flavorful as the previous model.
On balance this is an ok coffeemaker but we are dissapointed given the superior performance of their earlier model.
As expected, Amazon's price and delivery was beyond reproach.
