Krups Grind and Brew KM8328

The description of the Krups coffee maker immediately made me curious. It turns out that you can use both coffee beans and filter coffee with a coffee machine. I am attached to filter coffee and didn't want to just switch completely to just coffee beans. Although my husband is a fan of coffee that is made from coffee beans. The quality would be much better, according to my husband. So I decided to buy the Krups and put it to the test. I can tell you we are excited, especially because I can still continue to make my filter coffee. In the beginning it took a while to find the right strength, but after some practice we found our way. The timer is also ideal, so that we can immediately enjoy a fresh cup of coffee in the morning after we wake up. The smell of the coffee greets you in our house in the morning. Delicious! Of course there are always downsides. For me, that's the water reservoir. It should have been at the front. I am not that tall myself and the coffee maker is quite high, which makes filling this reservoir difficult. Furthermore, I can only be positive and I will certainly recommend this device to my friends and family!

Nice machine, coffee is hot and tastes good. Setting up is quite easy. No removable water reservoir (disadvantage). The biggest disadvantage is that you have to adjust the reservoir to the amount of coffee to be brewed each time and therefore cannot completely fill the reservoir for a maximum of 10 cups and then brew 2-4-6. If you set it to 2 cups, the device will grind coffee for 2 cups, but will continue to dispense the entire amount of water (= tea) instead of coffee. I found that very awkward the first time. It takes some getting used to and always fresh coffee this way, but not very practical.

This device makes nice fresh coffee from ground beans. Coffee strength button (H4). I like the best setting on position 2 and fellow coffee lovers can appreciate the freshly ground coffee. You really taste the difference. The device is larger than a regular coffee maker, but not too big. The jug pours leak-free. Handy that you can also use ground coffee, especially for caffeine-free coffee drinkers. The brewing process does take longer when using beans. He takes his time. Ground coffee goes super fast. Keep warm setting of 30 minutes is fine, otherwise the coffee will get old. Beep signal at the end of the brewing process is handy and not too loud. Inquiries with The Insiders about what has been submitted to Krups indicate that even when using beans, you must also put the amount of water in the reservoir for the desired number of cups of coffee. Hope Krups will adjust the manual accordingly. The filling point of the water reservoir seems to be in a somewhat awkward place, but in the end you get used to this and it is not a point of criticism. The timer works perfectly and is easy to set. The sound of the grinding, yes you have to get used to that, but it is not too loud. Yes, and now filter coffee is suddenly much less tasty than freshly ground coffee. So far, everyone who tastes the coffee is very satisfied. Only want freshly ground coffee. Cleaning as stated in the user manual is simple and easy. Coffee temperature immediately after brewing was about 74 degrees. It is striking that the swivel filter cannot be removed, but that is not necessary at all because it remains neatly clean. In fact, everything stays neatly clean. My impression after a few weeks of testing is a great device.
