Truly the worst coffee pot I have ever owned. Every now and then the coffee runs out on the counter… can’t figure it out. + Bubble Problem, Pouring Problem, gets cold too fast …. waste of money

We have only had this pot for 7 days and suddenly it will not turn on. There is no response when the buttons are pushed, it just keeps blinking 88:88 and both the alarm and 1-3 pot icons remain lit.

I am very disappointed in my brand new 10 cup Krups! The water leaks all over the counter and I agree that it’s hard to pour the coffee out. I have only had it 4 days and I need to return it.

I had the same problem with the water resevoir tube crumble in my hands. I went to Home Depot and bought Polyethylene water tubing in the plumbing dept (3/8″ OD x 1/4″ ID) cut the length of necessary. It works fine! The 25′ length cost me $5.

I had other Krups too and i hate this one, the bubble problem, and that beep after 2 or 3 hours(even if its deactivated) and that other beep with a weird icon of warer or something. and i paid too much money for this one.

This is the worst coffee maker I’ve ever owned. Krups used to be my most favorite coffee maker. The carafe does not keep the coffee hot, even if I heat the carafe with hot water first. The coffee has cooled down before the automatic shut off even works. It’s impossible to pour from the carafe. The outside stainless steel (??) rusts, the water inidicator gets bubbles and makes it impossible to know how much water is in the resevoir.

I paid $160 for this but I’ll never buy a Krups again.

The lid to our carafe has to be removed to pour the coffee; I have soaked it in hot water – to no avail. Any suggestions?

I compensate for the bubbles by guess and by gosh simply by adding the appropximate amount of water that the bubble occupies.

We’ve had this model (black one) that has exactly this same problem with water bubble(s), and, it is very difficult to get out the last cup of coffee : you have to take the lid off and basically turn it upside down
