We bought one a while ago now and the only complaint we have is a small hairline crack appeared in the lid where the hole to the caraffe is. This was readily replaced but now the SECOND lid is doing the exact same thing.

Good. Had expected it would not need papers, but possibly mis read the description

This is the second example we've had of this kind of Braun coffee filter machine. It is substantially the same as the first one, from which it differs only in minor detail. The coffee it makes is excellent and it's very easy and straightforward to use.We've found that it's very important not to neglect the regular water-filter replacement, especially in hard-water areas, otherwise the machine will get clagged up with limescale. In our first machine this eventually caused internal spillage and leakage which ultimately got into the electrics and killed the appliance. Our fault for not taking a minute or two every couple of months to do what we should. With the new one we're filling it with already-filtered water instead of plain tap water and we have a supply of the proper KWF2 filters.Just a couple of minor niggles: the automatic switch-off works fine, but the indicator light in the rocker switch is very small and less easy to see than the one in the previous model, in which the whole switch glowed orange when on. It also seems that the fit and finish of physical parts like the water-compartment lid are a tiny bit sloppy and not quite as exact and precise as in the older example. None of this affects its ability to do its job, which so far it seems to do perfectly well.

This product last about a year and then the electrics toes faulty rendering the coffee make useless. I have bought this product twice and the same thing happened so unless there is something done to rectify this situation, I will never buy it again and would not recommend it to anyone else.
