Question: Is the water tank removable?
Document: Since the water tank is removable, this is not a major issue. I like KitchenAid products and this machine makes a good cup of coffee. If dealing with left over water is of no concern, I would recommend this product.
I bought this kitchen aid coffee maker because of the removable water tank, and that is a nice feature that works well. However, everything else is poor.When the brew finished, there is still 1/8 cup of standing water in the removable tank.
Worked great for ONE DAY. Then then removable water tank started leaking--BADLY!Nice features and makes a great cup of coffee, but considering the units I've owned that were half the price, lasted longer and worked out of the box without major issues, this one is very disappointing in terms of quality-control...
My husband and I have been looking for a coffee pot with only one feature: removable water tank. After reading reviews, we purchased the Kitchen Aid 12-cup Glass Carafe Coffee Maker. We've had it for a week, but are already reaping the benefits of the numerous features (besides the removable tank). Setup is a cinch - plug it in, add water and coffee, push the 'Brew' button, and you're good to go.
This product recently failed after a year of twice-daily use. I'm just as glad to be rid of it. It got hot on the bottom and marred my cabinet. The carafe leaked from under the rim, seeped down the handle and leaked onto the burner and dripped when it poured. The removable water tank became unremovable because a pin holding the thing together worked its way part of the way out. The clock kept good time until the timer completely failed.
This is a good coffee maker with a very pleasing design. It is, however, the most water retaining coffee maker I have ever had. I love that the water tank is removable, and it's a good thing that it is because there's always a little puddle of water left in it that needs to be drained. The carafe is a nice weight and does not leak coffee as you pour. But it also retains liquid because the heavy black lip around the top allows liquid to seep underneath.
Pros:Removable water tank with filter. (Best selling point at after coffee taste)Brewing pauses without leaking if you interrupt to pour a cup.Coffee taste is very good.Attractive cosmetic design.Cons:Programming it is not intuitive. You will need to read the manual and keep it handy the first few times you program it.Carafe is, operationally, poorly designed.Spills during pouring-If you tip it just this much while pouring it spills coffee everywhere!
Not sure why the negative reviews. I love this coffee maker. It makes wonderful coffee (esp. with the "Bold" setting). It's relatively compact also--much shorter than the Cuisinart coffeemaker I'm replacing, even though it still makes 12 cups of coffee. I have a small kitchen, so that is definitely a plus for me. I have had no trouble with the removable water tank. It's a very handy feature, in fact. Also it's nice it has a water filter.
After owning it for a week. The water started to leak even when it beeped done. So it is a very WET machine. I was always having to wipe up water or coffee.Pros:1. Great cup of coffee. I programmed it to Bold.2. Nice design3. I like the removable water tank in the back.Verdict: returning it to Target. Purchased a Bunn STX on Amazon. So far that coffee is too weak. I will write a review on the Bunn next.
"ok guys and gals, here is my story, i've been using a black and decker space saver coffee maker mainly because of the removable water tank. the carafe drizzled coffee alll over the counter, the water tank could not be set full of water over nite in the maker because the water would leak out at the seal. and it made some incredibly weak coffee. but i trudged through because i don't like the idea of pouring water into the most of the time tiny opening most manufacturers give you.
Answer: Don't recall...we've tried to forget about this machine. The Hamilton Beach we now have (to replace the KA) has a removable water tank and we love it (the HB).
