MultiServe Plus 10-Cup Drip Coffee Maker - Hot & Cold Multi-Serve Brewer with Programmable Timer and Auto Start, Over Ice Function, Stainless Steel & Pod-Free Design, KF9270SI

After doing some googling, I saw that Braun has a reputation for top-notch and high quality coffee makers. I decided to give the Braun MultiServe Plus Drip coffee maker a go, and I am very happy I did! It is a good looking appliance, stylish, sturdy and well built. It has 7 programmed brewing sizes as follows: 5oz, 8oz, 12oz, 16oz, 20oz, half carafe (25oz) or full carafe (50oz). A full carafe holds five 10oz cups of coffee, which is pretty standard. It can brew an entire carafe "in less than 8 minutes," which I can verify is indeed true. I typically drink a 16oz mug of coffee every morning. Using the Gold option, my coffee comes out PERFECT. It tastes amazing, and the temperature is just right IMO (I have seen some reviews state it is not hot enough). It finished my 16oz mug in 3.5 minutes after hitting start. I have to note here, I wasn't specifically looking for a coffee maker that makes cold brew coffee, but now that I have one, I am thrilled! I love it. It makes cold brew in less than 15 minutes. This would take FOREVER doing it other ways, so in the past I have rarely made it myself. I think this might be new favorite thing about this coffee maker, frankly. I have already used this feature several times, and I've only had the coffee maker about a week. Though I usually prefer freshly ground beans, I am happy to report that it is fully programmable. Using the Auto on function, you can set the machine to brew coffee up to 24 hours in advance, which is definitely useful for those days you know you are going to be in a hurry the next morning. You can also change the amount of time it keeps the carefe warm after coffee is made, from 15 minutes all the way up to 4 hours. The warmer turns on automatically if you select a half or a full carafe. You can also turn it off/on manually. I tested out the auto program to see how easy it was, and it worked perfectly, and was very simple. Finally, it has a 3 year warranty coverage to ensure lasting performance. This definitely gives me confidence that, unlike my last coffee maker brand that broke a month after 1 year warranty ended, this coffee maker is going to last me long time! Companies don't offer 3 year warranties often, and when they do, it means the item is built to LAST. TLDR: I am enthusiastically satisfied with this coffee maker. It makes amazing coffee, easy and quick, has plenty of options, and is built to LAST. I have already recommended it to a few friends/family members.

After using this coffee maker, I have been extremely impressed! The first notable feature I love about this product is its sleek, stainless steel design. This gives the coffee maker a very refined and elegant look. The next notable feature to point out about this coffee maker is its water reservoir size. The water reservoir holds a total of fifty ounces, allowing me to have ample amounts of coffee for guests. Another great feature about this coffee pot is all of the different brewing modes that are included. The “Cold Brew” mode is able to make the perfect cold brew beverage in just thirteen minutes. The machine practically does all of the work itself. The strength of the cold brew has also been fairly strong. The next mode on this coffee pot is the “Over Ice” mode. This mode helps to quickly brew a strong cup (or pot) of coffee over a cup of ice. Because of its strength however, the ice does not seem to water the coffee down. The next mode, which is perhaps my favorite, is the “Gold” mode. This is essentially the go-to mode for your perfect pot of coffee. The coffee will have a great balance of flavor (but at the same time, will not be so strong that you can’t taste anything). This mode is pretty solid in perfecting my morning coffee. The final mode, the “Bold” mode, is exactly as it sounds. This mode provides a slower, deeper brew for those that want a richer cup of coffee. I find this mode to be best for extracting the maximum amount of flavor from the coffee. Another convenient and notable feature worth pointing out is the auto on feature. This enables me to specify the specific time I want my coffee to brew. The system also has an auto off feature. An additional benefit to this machine is the ability to select a brew size. You can brew anything from five ounces up to fifty ounces. This is perfect for ensuring I brew just the right amount of coffee, while eliminating any wasted coffee. Finally, I have loved how the machine stops when I remove my coffee pot, preventing messes. Overall, I am extremely impressed with this coffee maker and would highly recommend it to anyone in search of a truly customizable cup of coffee that’s sure to leave you feeling recharged.

When I received my coffee pot from Amazon, the box the machine arrived in was badly damaged. There were holes throughout the box and the side of the box looked like someone had dropped it on its side and then ran it over. The machine itself seemed to be intact enough to leave a review though. Upon setting it up it seemed high quality. The multiple brew and serving options were appreciated. I brewed my first pot on the gold setting and was quite impressed. It gave my coffee a taste that seemed true to how it should have tasted all this time. I never experienced the true flavor of my favorite coffee brand with my last coffee machine which was evident when brewing with this machine. I also like the temperature options. I can keep my coffee warm in the pot for 15 minutes or up to 4 hours. The 3 year coverage warranty is a nice addition. This machine delivers optimal brewing performance in every cup by calculating the precise water flow, temperature, and speed for every coffee preference and that's nice because my entire household drinks coffee and all has their own preferences. It brews a pot of hot coffee in under 8 minutes and a cold brew in under 13 so it seems like it has everything to like, but then I realized that it requires special paper filters to brew the coffee and a charcoal filter that has to be changed monthly, which I don't think I would keep up with. For those reasons. I would personally go with a different machine that requires less maintenance. After less than a week of owning this, the machine is no longer keeping my coffee warm. I do not recommend this coffee machine whatsoever.

The Braun MultiServe Plus is a huge coffee maker with multiple functions. I love that you can choose different size cups, bowls, or use the carafe. The ability to brew cold brew or over ice is very awesome and unique. It is a beautiful machine aesthetically. It's very easy to fill using either the water container that is removable or the carafe and the water lines are clearly marked and accessible, it even comes with a water filter. Your brew time is incredibly fast and the flavor is amazing. We have always loved bold strong coffee. I love the tapered glass of the carafe and how nothing spills during pouring. Setup is very easy but you do have to read the directions. There are some little tips and tricks in there that you would not know otherwise. The digital display is large and clear and even tells you if you left the lid open. You don't need to push hard on the touch panel to choose your options. I feel like I should give this coffee maker 3 stars based on all the negative things I found, but it does do what it says it's supposed to do. So on that note, it deserves four stars. A few of the issues that I do have with this Braun coffee maker is the price for one. Unless this thing is going to do some amazing tricks I think I'm just paying for the brand name and not the functionality of the system, though it does have the cold brew option which might be harder to find on traditional coffee makers. There is no way to clean the carafe by hand. The hole at the neck is too small to get your hand in there. So you have to have special scrub brushes to be able to get down in there. It is a very large system that takes up a bit of counter space but everything on it is easily accessible. For such a large machine I'm very surprised that it only handles 10 cups and not more. There is no way on the version I purchased to adjust the temperature of the burner or the time that the burner stays active. It's also not one button start in manual mode. You have to push the on-pad and then choose what type of coffee you want. I also noticed when refilling the container that there was a lot of residual water that had not been used during brewing left in the container.

I am so excited about my new Braun coffee machine that will make COLD BREW in 13 minute This is going to be game changer for summer in Alabama's. I love being able to make a single cup of coffee or a pot of coffee. So many options that it eliminates several other appliances that I have. So happy that it answers a lot of my wants. I have used a regular drip coffee pot, a pod single serve coffee maker and cold brew pitcher. I was very excited to combine all of the appliances into one! The Braun multiserve does the work of 3 items! The machine comes with: Sleek and modern looking coffee maker Glass carafe that a trendy mid century vibe Coffee measuring scoop that has dual sides for small and big scoops Reusable gold tone permanent filter. Eliminates paper filters. However, they can still be used. Charcoal water filter Clock and control panel for programmable coffee Beverage size indicator. 5oz, 8oz, 12oz, 16 oz, 20 oz, half carafe, full carafe. Flip down cup holder Four brew settings: Over Ice Cold Brew Gold Bold Gold is a mode that has been certified by the Speciality coffee association. It is a standard that has to meet rigorous technical requirements using the black filter basket. I did notice that the coffee pot is taller than our drip coffee maker. I have a super cute coffee station in the corner of our kitchen. I love it! Let’s make coffee! Fill the reservoir with water. I have a tap that provides reversed osmosis water. However the charcoal filter is wonderful for someone that is using tap water. To have good quality filtered water. I used 11 small scoops of coffee to make 22oz of cold brew coffee in the carafe. Placed scoops of coffee into the gold tone filter. Choose beverage size selector to half carafe. Pressed control panel to choose cold brew. Turned the lever to coffee to begin process. Cold brew coffee finished. I prepared coffee per my preferences, sugar and milk. I then added 30% ice as recommended in the directions voilà! Refreshing, tasty, fast, satisfying cold brew coffee. The. time on the Braun multiserve coffee maker I started at 11:40am and finished completely at 12:02pm. It only took 22 minutes even with me providing you instructions. The instruction says it takes 13 minutes to make the cold brew. I am very excited that it was quick and Not 3 days like a cold brew pitcher. Yes, I recommend this product

Easy enough to use Makes good coffee Heads up: if you store under a cabinet, make sure you have enough space to open the lids (I had to get a roller tray for underneath) Nice big reservoir Haven’t tried the cold brew yet

It’s everything I’d expect from an average coffeemaker. It heats water and pours it through ground coffee into a pot. Good: Removable reservoir. I wind up spilling water all over the place without one. Has various settings for cold brew. (I don't use them though) Can pause the brew cycle—not just pause the dripping. Doesn’t leak! Easy to clean with dishwasher safe parts. Bad: Insulated carafe replaced by glass and heated plate. Cone shaped filter—uneven extraction from the ground coffee. Several holes for the hot water to drip, instead of a system that better disperses the hot water. It's not as awful with a cone filter, but why not use a basket style and have a better water dispersal system? Coffee brews a little too quickly. It's not awful like Bunn, which combines energy wasting always on hot water tank and a fast process, but still too fast. Fast brewing does work under pressure (espresso shots), but pouring water quickly through ground beans means there is less extraction. Fast is bad for good coffee! No bloom cycle. Coffee tastes much better if it’s allowed to bloom first. How hard would it be to program a 1 minute pause after the first 20 ml of water is cycled anyhow? So, it's an ok coffeemaker, somewhat overpriced.

I owned an older BRAUN model 3107 12-cup BrewSense unit. It was a decent unit, although all plastic, it was well made. I was searching for an all stainless steel unit and willing to pay for it but there isn't one in existence (I don't understand why noone makes one). Braun has a good reputation and I decided to try their newest model, although all plastic it says it has a ceramic heating element and some stainless steel. I dont see any stainless steel anywhere, unless its inside the unit. Also it makes ice coffee. I received the unit 2 hours ago, the Amazon shipping box was intack but the unit box was ripped on the sides and one corner. That was clearly an indication that the unit was mishandled. I opened the box and noticed the unit was upside down. I removed the unit and it looked like the original wrapping was not removed. I unwrapped the unit and all the parts, assembled everything and noticed the unit was not sitting level on the counter. Upon further examination I noticed the warmer plate base was bent with a visible dent on bottom right of the warmer plate. I decided to put some felt on the bottom of the unit to level it and try it out. I was very disappointed with unit as follows : 1. Unit is made with cheap plastic, very flimsy 2. Quality wise, no comparison to the older model 3. There is a Stop Drip lever. If you forget to set it and pull the carafe out while coffee is brewing it will keep dripping all over the counter. Why would you install this? It baffles my mind. This is the first coffee maker I've ever seen that does not have an auto stop drip when the carafe is removed. 4. The coffee filter basket cover is made with cheap thin plastic and while coffee is brewing, it gets very very hot. Steam is coming out of all sides of the coffee basket. I dont see how this will not leak plastic into the coffee. Over time this plastic cover will melt for sure. 5. Coffee taste - I made half a carafe of coffee using the measurement recommendations on gold setting and the coffee tasted very strong, bitter and 'plasticky'. I was very disappointed with this unit from Braun. I decided to keep the unit and try it some more and figure out all the settings and will report back soon.
