This is the first Braun coffee maker I’ve ever used. For me, it is decent, but I’m not wowed. I like that it has a warming plate that comes on when brewing a half or full pot of coffee and that you can make multiple size cups/half pot/full pot. I also like that it has a removable/reusable mesh coffee filter. I’ve brewed a few pots for my husband and I, but I’ve used the individual cup more. I did notice that the brewed pot of coffee can get more of a “burnt” taste if it’s on the burner for 30min or longer. The beeping to let you know when the coffee is done is obnoxiously loud. Overall for the price point, I prefer my Ninja coffee maker over this Braun model.
