Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Factory-Reconditioned Krups R453-71 Pro Aroma 12-Cup Programmable Coffee Maker, White
Customer Review: Best value at the price
Summary: 5 Stars
This coffee maker is the best value within the price range. That said, I too had the leaking issue (see below) the first time I used it. It seems that the "water feed tube" on the bottom of the unit was not set properly. I just turned it over, reached in (there is an opening next to the power cord) and with two fingers pushed it down and secured it. Since then I have had no issues, great hot coffee and an easy to program unit. It seems that Krups is not making this unit any more so the reconditioned unit is the only way to get one. Do not buy the repalcement unit that Krups has for this (the FME2-14) It is a piece of doo-doo.
