love my new coffee maker

Just bought this coffee maker 2 days ago and so far so good. We bought a different coffee maker in August and exchanaged it for this one. This one is great I have no problem with steam escaping, coffee stays hot. Love the features, it does beep every 15 mins. for the first hour as stated in the manual.... read full review »

Aweful!

I've had this coffee pot for two days and it's already going back to the store. It spews water out the back, it makes very loud popping noises when it brews, it's very large, the pot doesn't sit right on the warming plate, it makes loud beeps every 15 minutes when it's on. It has a two hour auto shut... read full review »

This coffee maker works fine, is attractive and is a Kenmore, which normally tells me it is a good product. I am a longtime Kenmore consumer.

However, I DO NOT recommend this coffee maker. The problem with it is that loud and annoying 15 minute brew timer that tells you how long it's been since the coffee brewed. There is NO way to turn it off. Every fifteen minutes, it sounds off.

I get out of bed before my wife does and my coffee is waiting on me when I get up. But, to keep peace in the family, I had to donate that machine to Goodwill because it was waking her. She sleeps down the hall about...

great coffee maker

Definitely surprised by the performance and features. No spill spout when pouring (big plus), very easy to use and a great cup of coffee. Not to mention the price is reasonable.

The best tasting coffee I've ever made!!!!!

It has to be the charcoal filter, whatever it is it's great.!!!!

cannot find filter

Only had this product for one month and the internal filter light came on. Our local Sears does not carry the filter, the one on the internet site states its for a different model, the local Sears personnel are very RUDE!!! If I had known you had to buy a special filter I would have never purchased it. DONT BUY THIS COFFEE MACHINE ITS A PAIN DUE TO THE FILTER

Worked Great for a couple of weeks

I purchased this coffee pot last month and already ready to take it back to store. The indicator light for replace Char Filter is on. I can not find the filter at any store or internet. Sears has one online for a different model but I am not sure if it will work. The top keeps opening when the pot finishes brewing.

Bad Coffee Pots

Going back to the store for the third tiwe, first one blew water out the back and boiled the water on the inside . The second one the clock goes haywire and lights blink on and off. With the price of gas these are very costly going back and forth to a store.
