Editorial Product Review:Item 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.
Dishwasher-safe parts Permanent gold-tone filter and Brita water filter included Dimensions - 14-1/8 X 7-1/2 X 13-2/7 1-year limited warranty

Lives up to reviews received
We bought this product only after reading all the positive reviews on many different sites. We haven't been disappointed---the coffee is hot and stays that way for the one plus hours it takes for us to finish a pot in the morning. Very satisfied.

Hot Coffee
The one thing I have found lacking in most coffee machines is the ability to produce a hot cup of "joe". However, this Braun makes it hot & keeps it hot. I also appreciate the hot plate turning off automatically after 2 hours. Great product!

filter door flips open - causes mess
I got this Braun as a replacement for my 10 year old Braun.
2 complaints-
1) I've noticed a plastic taste with several coffee makers..I'll live with the Braun for 2 weeks and see if it dissipates...if not it goes back. Krups was by far worse in the plastic taste department, so at least Braun it might be OK with some time.
2) The spring loaded filter door latch doesn't firmly hold the filter in the closed position. It pops open and water drips everywhere, since the coffee filter is in the "out" position. I initially used scotch tape to hold the filter door closed. Then I partly disassembled the top and removed the torsion spring. Now the door stays closed. The button to release the door is not needed anyway. For years I just pulled the filter door in or out, and never thought anything fancier gizmo was needed.
I'd have been happier if Braun spent money on better plastic materials with less outgassing...I don't like drinking plastic-flavored coffee.

Great coffee, brewed fast!!
This coffeemaker did everything it was advertised to do. It brews delicious coffee with ease in the blink of an eye. Seriously the fastest brewing machine I have ever seen. The design, in typical Braun fashion is well thought out in that it has only four buttons-On/Off, Auto, and hours and minutes. By holding down the On/Off you can program when your machine should automatically shut off (I set mine at 1 hour and 12 minutes). By holding down the Auto button you can set the time for when you want your brew to begin. Other machines have had a separate button for each of these functions, and not only is it intuitive but it just makes sense! In a word it is excellent.
