Braun's AromaDeluxe is a no-nonsense, easy-to-use coffeemaker for those who still prefer a basic cup of coffee. The coffeemaker brews up to 10 cups using a fast brewing method that thoroughly extracts the rich flavor and aroma from your ground coffee. The integrated Brita water filter also contributes to better-tasting coffee by screening out chlorine and other harsh minerals, plus it prevents calcification within the water tank. A marker on the top of the water tank helps you keep track of when the water filter needs to be changed. Other handy extras on the AromaDeluxe include a filter release button, which swings the detachable filter basket open for filling or easy cleaning, and a pause-and-serve feature, which stops the brewing while you pour a cup of coffee midway through a cycle. For safety, the glass carafe has a comfortable, nonslip handle with an open design to accommodate larger hands. Further safety measures include a large, red power button that is easy to see but difficult to switch on by accident. This coffeemaker is covered by a one-year limited warranty. --Cristina Vaamonde

 So far so good March 13, 2007

I've made a pot of coffee this morning. I am very happy with it. It's not gadgety. I just want to put the filter in and the coffee, the water, flip a switch and not wait three years to drink. It's pretty fast too. It comes with a brita water filter that goes in the machine to prevent calcification. The instructions explain how vinegar decalcifies so that it can brew at the rate of one cup a minute.
Very nice item and also aesthetically pleasing. Has a cute on/off switch that lights up and the carafe is adorable. The handle is a non-slip handle. It is hollow and has a little hole at the bottom so water does not collect in it.
The coffee was perfect except that if you want five cups put a little more water than five. Some is lost to steam but I've found that is universal in coffee makers.
Good Aroma and Taste August 16, 2007

The aroma and taste of a cup of coffee is important to me. After having used this coffeemaker daily for more than six weeks, I am very satisfied with the aroma and the taste of the coffee it brews. I do believe that the water temperature and the brewing speed are two important factors to the coffee aroma and taste. The Braun does these two things just right. I hope this coffeemaker will remain satisfactory for many years.
The unit I have was made in the Czech Republic. I have two minor complaints: some plastic parts including the locking mechanism of the filter basket were not fitted snugly; and it is not easily to see the water level through the blue measuring window of the reservoir.
I do not use its Brita water filtration system. I pour in already filtered water. These filters usually do not effectively remove the calcium from the water. Without the water filter, however, the markings on the reservoir need to be adjusted to match the markings on the carafe. The water filter takes up the volume about one cup of water. For example, without the water filter in place, six cups of water shown on the reservoir marking would brew seven cups of coffee into the carafe.
To keep the good taste, I do not leave the coffee cooking on the hot plate. I use a stainless steel thermal bottle to keep the coffee warm for about six hours. I use a gold-tone permanent filter made of stainless steel mash, though some friends say unbleached paper filters would improve the taste. By the way, it is my humble opinion that the programming features on the more expensive models are mostly counter productive to the aroma and the good taste of coffee.
3/25/08 update: After nine months of daily use (often twice daily), the hot plate began to lose the Teflon coating in the contact area with the carafe, though I shut off and cleaned the coffeemaker immediately after every brew. The aroma and the taste remain satisfactory.
Excellent in its price range February 9, 2008

I particularly wanted a cone basket, which surprisingly was not as common among coffeemakers as I thought, and I did not want to pay too much. This fit the bill. A bonus for me has been the design of the cone basket; it sits firmly on the counter and so is easy to fill. (Perhaps it has been so long since I have bot a coffeemaker that this is not an innovation, but I have memories of the cone baskets easily tipping over when filling.) It would be helpful to have an auto shutoff, but the large, well-placed, power button makes for an easy reminder that the pot is still on -- so long as you are in the kitchen! The inclusion of a Brita filter is probably a good idea, but I am not sufficiently informed as to the quality of my city water to know if I need this. All in all I found this to be an excellent product.
Great fast HOT coffee February 14, 2008

This machine replaced my 20 year old Krups. I had used a "free" coffee maker from Gevalia, which turned out to be flimsy and made mediocre coffee, but it did look great! This machine has been worked twice a day for the last 8 months and creates fast, good tasting and hot coffee. I must add that our Krups coffee cooled over the years and the "Free" machine I used also made warm, not hot coffee. The only thing you need to pay attention to is pouring the correct amount of water into the tank, as it has to pass through the filter, so I find it easier and more accurate to fill the decanter up to the cup-line indicator instead of viewing the nice water indicator on the side of the machine. There are no timers or clocks or strength indicators, just a sturdy on/off switch that glows red when on. I absolutely recommend this sturdy machine - you could spend (a lot) more and not get a better cup of coffee .
Excellent coffee maker -- measure water as Braun instructs April 10, 2008
4 out of 5 found this review helpful
I bought this coffee maker to replace my 12 year old Braun 10 cup. This is an excellent, low-frill product (The frill bing the internal Brita water filter which, if you're not already using filtered water, will make a dramatic positive difference in your coffee's taste). Always use the graduated gauge on the side of the coffee maker to measure the amount of water needed rather than the gauge on the side of the carafe (In other words, don't measure 7 cups using the carafe and pour that into the reservoir, because you will not get 7 cups when the water filters through the coffee). This is by design by Braun. The gauge on the side of the coffee maker, which measures the water actually in the reservoir, tries to take into account the amount of water retained by the coffee grounds, water that will not make it into the carafe. Use regular-grind for your coffee because fine (or "drip grind") may be too compact (at worst causing the coffee chamber to overflow and at best causing more water to be stay in by the grounds rather than flowing into the carafe.
