Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Krups 199-7D Aroma Control 10-Cup Programmable Thermal Coffeemaker, White
Customer Review: I have purchased nine of these. Love 'em!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have now purchased nine of the Krups 199 and nearly identical Model 201. These were all purchased in the past year in various thrift stores like Goodwill. I have both the black and the white plastic models with vacuum glass thermal carafes and also the stainless thermal carafe. The thermal carafes are what first led me to use this coffeemaker. They keep the coffee hot enough to drink for several hours. The plastic carafe with the glass vacuum liner is more efficient and keeps hot for 3-4 hours. The stainless is good for 2-3 hours. The Aroma Control feature is a plus. As the hot water starts to fill the basket, it slowly warms a "spring" which, after a minute or two, then opens the valve allowing the coffee to drip out. I believe this extra brew time improves the coffee. A second valve interrupts the flow if the carafe is removed. This allows a cup or two to be poured before the brewing cycle is complete. I use paper filters but I also have the permanent filter which works just as well but, of course, must be dumped and cleaned. I have purchased so many to be able to give them to friends who like good coffee in a thermal carafe. Note: The coffee has little contact with the air while brewing. This maintains the flavor better (Yea!) but also limits (Boo!) that wonderful aroma that usually permeates the room when coffee is brewing.
Pros: brews good coffee pretty fast, thermal carafe eliminates need for heater, keeps warm for hours, programmable feature easy to use, automatically turns off after brew cycle, no grounds in coffee
Cons: hard to read water level in sight glass, hard to thread carafe top, white plastic stains over time, too tall to fit under some cabinets
Description of Krups 199-7D Aroma Control 10-Cup Programmable Thermal Coffeemaker, White
10 cups. Flavor release brew technology. 24-hour programmable clock/timer. Double-wall, insulated carafe with drip-free spout. Model Krups 199-73By steeping ground coffee for nearly 2 minutes to begin the brewing process, this coffee maker delivers up to 10 cups of full-flavored coffee and then keeps it warm in an insulated thermos-carafe for hours. The thermos-carafe seals in heat during the brewing process and afterward to lock in flavor. This eliminates the need for a warming plate, which can turn coffee bitter. For making wake-up coffee, the machine's programmable clock-timer can be set up to 24 hours in advance. There's also an automatic interrupter that halts coffee flow for 20 seconds during the brewing cycle if the thermos-carafe is removed for a quick pour. For best results, remove the carafe from the base when the brewing process is complete, sealing off the carafe and insuring hot coffee. This sleek coffee maker measures 8-1/2 by 15-1/2 inches high by 8-1/2 inches wide by 10-1/4 inches deep. --Fred Brack
