Braun 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.

I have an older drip coffee pot that I was happy with until it started getting really noisy toward the end of the brew cycle. Plus, I have different pots for different types of coffee - French press, Moka pot, and a dedicated cold brew pot. All of these combined take up a lot of space, and each has to be used with a source of hot water besides the pot, except for the cold brew pot. I was excited to try the Braun MultiServe Plus Drip Coffee maker because I could have my cold brew, or a small cup of espresso, or a medium sized cup, or really almost any size cup or carafe I want. For all that it does, the coffee maker is relatively compact, and setup was a breeze. The water tank has a carbon filter to help improve the taste of the water. I brewed a single cup of coffee, and the controls were very intuitive - pick a cup size, pick Gold or Bold, and wait patiently. Brew time was reasonably quick, and I brewed Gold which was strong enough for my tastes. My old drip pot would waste a lot of the grounds as the water would not soak about 1/4 of the coffee. The Braun drip configuration lets the water hit all of the grounds, so I get a more flavorful brew. I tried a full pot on Bold, but that was too strong. A second pot on Gold was just right. I tried a 5 oz. cold brew and that came out very strong - I had to dilute the cold brew with another 5 oz. of water and some ice cubes, but the coffee was not bitter and was as good as from my dedicated bold brewer, but in 20 minutes instead of 12 hours. Overall, this is a great coffee maker - easy to use, easy to clean, and very versatile.

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.

Excellent coffee maker. Makes very good coffee, whether a cup, half pot or pot. Have not had any issues with the temperature like in some reviews - comes out hot. When making a pot, the warmer stays on for 2 hours and the clock turns into a timer. At 2 hours what’s left in the pot is still warm, not as hot as when first made but I would not expect that. We like the choice for different sizes, but you just have to remember to change the size selection, so I put on a little sticker as a reminder.

The Braun 10-cup coffee machine is a great everyday coffee maker. It brews quickly and consistently, and the coffee comes out hot and smooth every time without any burnt taste. The design is sleek and compact, so it doesn’t take up much counter space. I really appreciate how easy it is to use and clean, with straightforward controls and a drip-free carafe that pours well. It’s a dependable machine that focuses on doing one thing well—making good coffee—without unnecessary extras. Perfect for daily use in a busy household. ☕

We decided to purchase a quality coffee maker this time around and Braun was our top choice. When we opened up the box we were surprised at how large it was compared to our old one. It is beautifully designed and a great quality product. Easy to use and fits under our counter cupboards just fine. There are more options than we will ever use and available if we ever want to try them out. Coffee makers are coffee makers but for some reason this one seems to make a superb cup every time.

Good coffee machine; the only thing I dislike is that it turns off after 30 mins. We have to turn it back on multiple times to keep the coffee warm.

I bought this on sale for $179 down from $249. It does make a nice cup of coffee, but I have returned it and ordered the Braun KF5650BK Pure Flavor Coffee Maker, 14 cup in its place for $79. The MultiServe takes a lot of space on the counter and doesn't fit underneath my cupboards. I do like the feature of the container of water that is removable for filling. The cold brew was a disappointment. It does have a nice, smooth taste, but I mistakenly thought it would be cold--it's not. It comes out hot and then pauses for quite a while and then comes out warm. Ice is definitely required, and I didn't have any. Overall, it is very nice, but not worth the extra cost. Personal pet peeve: I do not care for the multi-coloured lights whatsoever. The clock is blue, the buttons light up green, and the warming plate glows orangey-red. Looks like a Christmas tree and to me, it should be consistent. Very tacky.
