About KitchenAid KCM1208DG Spiral Showerhead 12 Cup Drip Coffee Maker, Matte Charcoal Grey
Overall Feedback:
90% positive
74% appreciated the size and fit, but 26% weren't satisfied
I found a coffee maker that was 6.3 inches tall, but it was too tall.
81% liked the quiet operation, but 19% encountered noise issues
After a few minutes of brewing, the coffee maker produces a loud cracking/clicking sound.
During the keep warm phase, there is an awful clicking noise that is audible 2 rooms away.
92% were satisfied with the control options, but 8% encountered issues
The filter holder locks in when I put down the handle, ensuring that the flow control works and preventing accidental overflows due to misalignment.
The controls are only accessible from the side and setting the auto start function is difficult if the unit is facing the front.
I will select a coffee-maker with controls in the short/front dimension when I replace the current unit.
85% found cleaning and maintenance easy
The coffee maker is easy to clean and notifies when it's time to clean after 100 cycles.
86% was satisfied with the temperature maintenance
The coffee maker brews at around 148 degrees, which is slightly hotter than my primary machine.
88% appreciated the consistent brew quality
I am not able to get the same flavor from other drip coffee makers that I am able to get from this coffee maker.
My perfect cup is 6 tbsp on the strong setting after several trial runs. The temperature after brewing/dispensing averages around 148 degrees, which is slightly hotter than my primary machine brews.
