Received Braun BrewSense Drip-Coffee Maker in 12 cup size to try out for this review. The Braun Coffee Maker had a good quality lid to lift up and pour in the water. What I really like was the metal filter to use instead of the paper coffee filters because my husband is alway having trouble seperating the coffee filters and putting the coffee ground in them. Half the time is gets coffee on the counter. LOL. The 12 cup size is good for us because we are big coffee drinkers. Braun coffee maker is working well in our kitchen.
