Prior to using the Braun BrewSense, it had been years since I brewed with a drip coffee maker. (I was blinded by the ‘features and convenience’ of single pod machines.) I’m delighted to say that I’ve been reconverted...I will be sticking with my Braun BrewSense! The taste and quality of the coffee is incomparable. I’m impressed with the sleek design and modern features. I love that the product comes with a reusable filter and a programmable timer setting. The programmable timer is a huge benefit for people who want their morning brew ASAP. (Myself included...I’m not a morning person.) There’s also a cleaning function that adds to the benefits of this coffee maker. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for quality and convenience in a coffee maker. I am officially hooked on the BrewSense! Thank you Braun!
