Pluses: *Makes very hot coffee (I'm burning my mouth right now on a cup I just brewed from this machine). *Coffee brews incredibly fast from Amazon.com Coffee maker only last 10 months and then started to give an "Err2" message. No way to fix this problem and maker is in the trash. from Amazon.com I received this Kitchenaid KCM-515 10-cup coffee maker as a gift over a year ago. It makes excellent coffee. from Amazon.com We purchased this coffee maker three weeks ago to replace our aging Krups which still make good coffee but getting slow to brew. The KitchenAid makes horrible tasting coffee. I don't know if it is because the brew temperature is not hot enough, or what. from Amazon.com We were ready to upgrade to an automatic coffee maker with a thermal pot. We were disappointed with this coffee maker and have decided to return it. from Amazon.com Coffee comes out warm at best. I even tried the recommended "rinse the carafe with hot water before brewing" as indicated in the instruction manual. I've tried anywhere from 4 to 10 cups brewed with the same warm result. If you don't like your coffee piping hot, then this is for you. from Amazon.com Appears to be built well, looks great, easy to use. Best feature: no glass carafe to break. One significant issue is brewing less than 10 cups, the coffee is not hot enough. Once you pour a cup, it can't sit long. from Amazon.com Once the warranty ran out, the heating mechanism died (ERR2). I enjoyed it while I had it, but I've now had to buy a third coffeemaker in as many years, much to my husband's chagrin! (Prior to this one I had the Cuisinart DTC-975BKN Programable Auto Brew 12-Cup Coffeemaker, Black but it kept clogging up and flooding my countertop.) from Amazon.com I took it back to the store and replaced it with a new one. Brought it home and it failed to complete a brewing cycle. Called KitchenAid to complain and they convinced me to allow them to send a replacement. Got it yesterday. from Amazon.com They are correct! The coffee is luke warm. (and so you can guage, I consider Starbucks to be scalding hot.) KitchenAid recommends that you pre-heat the carafe with hot water, but then what is the use of the timer? Anyway I tried and saw little difference. from Amazon.com
