What a mess!:
Like other reviews, I've had problems with this coffee maker spilling coffee all over the counter. The problem seems to be the level in the back of the unit that is supposed to tell if the carafe is in place (so you can remove it while brewing). The problem is that if the carafe isn't positioned perfectly then the drip will be blocked and coffee will eventually overflow. It seemed to work for me OK for a while but now it seems to always overflow. Bad design; stay away.
Worst coffee maker EVER:
This is the worst coffee maker I have ever owned. Overflows often with water and coffee grounds everwhere. This coffee maker has to take top honors as the 'Rube Design of Coffeemakers'. Horrid design. DO NOT waste your money on this on this goobered & gomered contraption.
This is a KitchenAid???:
It's more like a Mr. Coffee, at the price of a KitchenAid. Although, I paid close to $100 for it when it first came out. Now I see the price has dropped dramatically. But it isn't even worth $50 for the aggravation you will go through, people. I purchased this product due to brand reputation for quality, among other things. This coffeemaker LEAKS at least TWO cups worth of coffee all over the counter, EVERY day! I take umbrage at the reviewer who says those of us having trouble "don't have a clue"... more info
Great Coffee Maker:
First let me say - Amazon's illustration of the KCM511 is incorrect. This model has five buttons across the top, while the Amazon photo indicates only two. Plus the KCM511 has a "brewed indicator", again the Amazon illustration does not indicate this. I've owned other coffeemakers in the years past from Mr. Coffee, Brahn, Krups, Melitta, a Bodum French Press and now most recently this KitchenAid KCM511. I periodically used the French Press because I've read the optimal brewing temperature is between... more info
