Product Description
Wake up to freshly brewed coffee with this Braun KF590E Impressions Digital 10-Cup Programmable Coffeemaker. Not only does it provide a 24-hour timer for pre-set automatic brewing, but it also offers programmable automatic shutoff for setting the unit to turn off anywhere from 20 minutes to 4 hours after brewing. The coffeemaker's fast-brewing technology delivers hot, fully extracted and aromatic coffee. Removing the carafe pauses the brew cycle, which allows for pouring a cup midbrew. Its 54-ounce glass carafe provides a handy water-level indicator and a distinctive non-slip open-handle design for simple pouring. The unit's exclusive, filter basket-release button makes it simple to remove the basket and conveniently place it on the countertop for easy filling or cleaning. Other highlights include an LED digital clock and timer, a pilot light and preset brewing indicator, an integrated cord-storage compartment, and dishwasher-safe parts for quick cleanup. The unit comes with a permanent gold-tone filter and a Brita water filter, which prevents calcification, significantly reduces chlorine, and improves coffee flavor.

Braun coffeemaker October 10, 2008
T. Pitts (Durango, CO USA)
Great coffee maker, very easy. The coffee is a bit weak, but we're working on it. Make sure you buy strong coffee for it.
 Disappointing over previous KF187 October 9, 2008
John F. White (cleveland)
I Purchased the Braun KF590 about 1.5 months ago and am disappointed with this coffee maker over Braun's previous 12 cup Flavor Select model KF185.
This model looks nice but falls short in certain areas. You have to position the gold filter in the basket just right or the basket will not close all the way. The previous model had a slot that lined the filter up and this model does not. You have to make sure that the Carafe is positioned just right on the warming base or the coffee will run down the back of the coffee Carafe. This is due to the pause lever not being compressed all the way and the coffee builds up in the basket and it does not drain into the Carafe. The filter basket is not secured as well as the previous model and sometimes when you swing it out it will fall off causing a mess with the coffee grounds. This machine also should not be called a 10 cup model either as it really is more like a 6 cup model. This model also does not have the brewing strength adjustment like the Model KF185 had. On the plus side it is compact but also that is why it does not brew as many cups. It seems to brew a good cup of coffee though and it is hot enough. Also the water filter and the gold fllter is the same as the KF185 which helped because i had some of these left over from my KF185. I only paid $44.00 for it or i would be even more disappointed with it. Also i noticed that none of the department stores carry the Braun coffee makers anymore so i wonder if that is because of a lower quality product. I am not sure if i will buy another Braun coffee maker again unless the raise they quality up to what it was.
 Tasty Coffee, LOTS of leaking October 8, 2008

I did my homework when I bought this coffeemaker. I read customer reviews, and trusted the good name of Braun since they make great coffee accessories. A month later, I'm shopping for something else.
This coffee maker seems to be designed for some other substance than liquid water because every action on it leads to puddles on the countertop. When it brews the coffee, it releases the fluid too quickly into the carafe, which causes usually about a cup of water to leak out (from my average 7-cups) while brewing. This is a full cup of coffee. On my counter. Then when you go to pour what precious coffee you have left into mugs, it's impossible not to spill even more. The spout on the carafe is very narrow, and in my opinion curved incorrectly. I'm sometimes able to not spill any while pouring if I do so very slowly. Unfortunately that kind of hand-eye coordination and patience don't come easy at 7 in the morning.
On the upside, it does make tasty coffee, and the water filter is nice. I hate to give it such a bad review, but it really is terribly designed. Anecdotally, when I complained about my coffeemaker to my father, the first thing he asked is "Is it a Braun? Yeah, they leak." I'll be going with a different brand this time around.
 GREAT coffee maker! October 4, 2008
R. Whiting (Las Vegas, NV)
This is a great coffee maker for the price. It is nice to have the built in gold filter that can be washed and reused. Other reviews have complained that the coffee brews too fast, but that is one of the benefits! I'm glad I selected this coffeemaker.
Best machine I've ever owned. October 3, 2008
P. Taylor (North Carolina)
I spent a lot of time researching which Coffemaker to purchase. By reading others' comments, I was able to determine what features were important to me and which one satisfied those needs. I have been using the Braun KF590 for a month now and am VERY pleased with my purchase. I stopped using the filter basket almost immediately, and bought disposable cone filters and I may try it without the Braun water filter and see if I notice the difference. Right now I'm getting a great cup of coffee every time. No complaints whatsoever.
