Our coffee maker kicked the bucket after two years of service and faithfully brewing at least one cup of coffee a day. It didn't feel right replacing it, but my journeys to Starbucks were killing my soul (and bank account). The Braun MultiServe Coffee Maker fulfilled my dreams of a new coffee maker where coffee and tea can coexist. Its capability to make coffee, hot water, or slow drip made me and my wife happy. It's sleek and yet practical, quick but efficient. Very happy and glad we made the splurge.
***3 MONTH UPDATE***
The coffee machine broke after only a few months on the job. Braun is willing to send a replacement (nice) but it’s a bit disappointing that my $50 coffee maker lasted 2 years and this one only 3 months.
