Amazon.com Product Description
Combining appealing and distinctive design with a powerful, fully programmable brewing system, this 1100-watt coffee maker provides fast and efficient brewing. The unit's bright blue, illuminated LED control panel is easy to read, and its programmable timer/auto-on sets the start time each day. The appliance is designed with a stainless-steel soft-eject filter holder for easily adding ground coffee, and a magnified water-level indicator for high visibility. A built-in water filtration system removes chlorine and lime scale build-up, while an electronic de-scaling indicator measures brew time and calculates when de-scaling is necessary. For added safety and convenience, the machine's 60-ounce water reservoir has a detection feature that shuts the unit off if the water reservoir is completely empty.

With a no-drip spout and an ergonomic handle for easy pouring, the coffee machine's 12-cup vacuum thermal stainless-steel carafe maintains flavor and temperature longer. For days when less coffee is desired, an aroma switch can be set to maximize flavor for one to three cups. A popular pause-and-serve function allows for pouring a cup midbrew, and an audible signal indicates when brewing is complete. To keep coffee warm from one to five hours, the unit also offers an adjustable-time heating plate with a default of two hours. The stylish and efficient coffee machine features a compact design and carries a one-year warranty.

Customer Reviews

as good, the second time around
This is our second Krups FME4-14. I broke the first one...oops! and we can't fault them. I kocked the carafe off of the counter while vaccuuming, and unfortunately it broke, so when I asked my wife what she wanted to replace it, she said another the same. The store we bought it from no longer had them in stock, so I came to Amazon. Should have done that first, it was cheaper than I saw anywhere else on the internet, and it arrived well before it was expected. Thank you

excellent product
I have owned many coffee pots over my 55 years of life but this one is the best. It is fast and easy to use. The company I bought it from is also tops in my book for being quick and efficient in sending my pot to me.

This Coffee Maker was a DISASTER!! - Use Caution!!
We had high hopes that a name brand like Krups would be a good product for us to purchase. We had a 12 cup Braun coffee maker for several years, and it still worked, but the temperature of the coffee was declining, and we decided to buy a new machine. We would have bought another Braun, but they discontinued the model we liked. So we decided to try the Krups (Model #FME-14). That was a BIG MISTAKE!!

Although we followed the directions to the letter, from the very first plain batch of water we processed through the machine, we smelled this distict "chemical smell." Once we brewed coffee in the Krups machine the chemical smell continued and even was present in the coffee itself. We kept trying the unit for about a week, but it never improved. So we exercised our return option with Amazon.com, and they readily cooperated to have the Krups machine returned for full credit

I must say that the RMA process with Amazon.com was OUTSTANDING. They even picked up the tab for the return shipping (USPS). We then bought a Cusinart (Model #DCC-1200BW12) cup coffee maker, and we have had it for several days - the Cusinart machine is wonderful, and we wish we had purchased it from the beginning. Hope that helps others looking for a new coffee maker. However, whatever you do, buy the machine through Amazon.com, their service could not be better!
