Krups 229-4G AromaControl Therm Time Coffee Maker – Wake up and smell the coffee! You can do it. This coffeemaker has a built-in timer that lets you do just that. And if you choose to sleep later, the insulated carafe keeps the brew hot and fresh.
Krups’ latest development in the field of making coffee is Flavor Release Technology. It allows hot water to saturate coffee grounds longer than traditional coffeemakers, resulting in a richer tasting, not bitter coffee, but full of robust fla
Good Bean Juice Extractor,
This is our ‘old reliable’, the timer function is nice for my early-riser wife, coffee flavor is excellent.
As some others have noted in reviews of other ‘thermal carafe’ type brewers, the coffee doesn’t stay piping hot after around 30 min. — however, this the heat lasts longer with a fuller carafe, i.e., with 5 cups or more the heat will be retained longer. But the flavor is retained, and a glass/hotplate type drip machine chars the coffee in 30 minutes — longer than that and you have nasty black sludge.
Also, another reviewer of another product suggested ‘pre-heating’ the carafe with boiled water, a good idea for entertaining or if you want to just keep the coffee hot longer.
So this thermal carafe style is preferable to other types. If you take all day to drink the carafe as I do, there’s always the microwave heat-up, which also sacrifices coffee flavor, or … just drink your damn coffee, slowpoke!
A good machine, well-made and dependable.

|Not a great way to start the day,
I challenge anyone to make consistently good coffee with this awkward, finicky machine. We have tried everything–cleaning, decalcifying, different coffees, different grinds, different filters, good karma, bad karma…doesn’t matter. One pot in ten is good, six are so-so, and the other three go down the sink. It’s a mystery to me, but don’t waste your time trying to figure this one out.

|Best Coffeemaker we have had!,
We purchased the Krups 229 at Sam’s for less than $60. The main reason we were searching for a new coffeemaker was the Mr. Coffee we had was difficult to remove the carafe without opening the filter area first. After doing research in stores for a thermal, we ran across this one at Sam’s and decided to purchase to give it a try. Boy are we glad we did! Using French Roast Maxwell House, the coffee hadn’t been tasting that great in the Mr. Coffee. With the Krups, you can taste the French Roast and the fact that it isn’t sitting on a warming plate burning, the coffee tastes consistant….good to the last drop! The timer is small but we don’t use it for a clock, just to set the timer on the coffeemaker to have the coffee fresh and hot at 5:20 when it is time to get up. The carafe keeps the coffee at a perfect temperature until I’m ready for a cup after getting my sweetie off to work for the day.
