Works great! I'm happy
I didn't realize that buying a thermal coffee maker would be such a dramatic ordeal after reading all the reviews. I thought buying a machine would be straightforward... Alas, I finally ended up with this one.

Pros:
Krups brand
Simple to program
Solid carafe - easy to pour (even with the weird lip and almost having to turn upside down it pours nicer than my glass carafe on my Capresso)
Keeps coffee hot and brews hot
Nice clean look
Water filter (and neat little change reminder on it)
No floaty ball thingy to clog up and force coffee all over
Water indicator easy to read and pretty cool
Quiet and no stupid beeps

Not so pros:
Filling with water does require a separate vessel. Not the end of the world, but it would be easier to just grab the carafe.
Carafe does not seal air tight - so if you want coffee 5 hours later - well, probably gonna leak out the heat (although after 4 hrs it was still pretty...

Nice machine
I purchased this machine when there were no reviews, which I typically do not do. But my old machine died and we needed a new one. I have had other brands and Krups has never disappointed.

I gave it 4 stars because it is better than 3. I'd call it 7 out of 10.

My old machine was just that - old. Perhaps 7-8 years old. I liked that it had the water fill line one the side and that the program/on/off buttons were manual rather than digital. This way I could leave it on timer all the time.

This machine has a very small water fill line/indicator. It only indicated 2 cups at a time. I used to like to brew 3 cups because that filled my favorite mug. Can't do that here unless you just guess.

The carafe is weird because when the top is locked on, it is in pour mode. To take it out of pour mode and presumably lock in the heat better, the top is not locked on so it could fall off or whatever. Not like it is on there tipsy, but I would think it is...
Ok Machine...
I almost drove myself crazy trying to find a new coffee machine after my original Hamilton Beach Brewstation started leaking after 7 years of daily use. The reviews on coffee machines are generally horrible and I chose this one simply because of the brand and the fact that it had NO reviews to psyche me out about buying it.

I have owned this machine for about 2 weeks now. It is an ok machine, with a few minor flaws.

The Good:

One problem I was having when finding a new machine: cord length. I returned 2 Cuisinart machines because the cord was too short to reach the outlet from where I needed it on the counter. This machine has a long enough cord, with length to spare.

It is a very nice looking machine and does not take up a lot of room on my counter.

It does not have a hot plate, which is comforting for me (no risk of fire).

The carafe keeps the coffee warm for quite awhile. I left
