Worst Coffee Maker EVER
MEL!
9/14/2019
I have purchased many KitchenAid products, and have been very happy with all of them, but then I purchased this one. BIGGEST.MISTAKE.EVER. This is the worst coffee maker I have ever owned. (I am 60 so I have owned a few!) I have spent less on other units and they have lasted for years. This one, less than 3 months and it wasn't just forking over 20-25$ for a cheap coffee maker!
First: unless the carafe is in just the right spot, and I mean right spot, the water overflows out of the filter basket and goes everywhere, which also means coffee grounds in the coffee for what does flow into the carafe.
Second: It constantly stops in the middle of a brewing cycle, so I have to shut the machine off for about a minute or so, and push the brew cycle again. Usually then, it will finish out the cycle, but it is kind of frustrating to be doing something, come back to get a cup of coffee and find out that the brew cycle shut off.

Excellant maker for better coffee.

Received KA 12 Cup Coffee Maker from a previous owner. I tried it out that evening, and I can say I haven't tasted a better pot of coffee. I looked forward for the following morning to make another pot. The unit I have is black and steel look. Very attractive in the kitchen. KitchenAid lives up to its reputation.

Won't drain fast enough
jjmaag
8/25/2019
This coffee maker works excellent in every aspect except that it will not drain the basket fast enough. Whether using the metal filter or a paper filter, it overflows when using the regular brew mode. The only way to keep grounds out of your coffee is to brew in bold mode (slower).

Worse coffee maker i've ever owned
laffer1
6/7/2019
Owned this coffee maker for a few months. It shoots coffee out and runs all over the counter. The spring on the unit doesn't press in enough to release enough coffee to prevent it from going all over. Coffee grounds end up in my coffee frequently. i have to hold the carafe up so it will drain.

Drips water all over. This is the second one we had to get because the faceplate was not installed correctly on the first. Works well, but just seems to get water all over

Coffee Maker of Questionable Quality
Capa
4/22/2019
The only pluses I give this coffee maker is the brew strength feature, the brew capacity and the brewing timer. The balance is of questionable quality. I purchased a KCM1202WH model in May 2015 and after 3 months, the brewing lid hinge pin was already out of place as it slowly displaced everytime one opened and closed the brewing head to clean it and to remove the coffee filter.
Kitchen Aid replaced the unit free of charge in March 2016 but the hinge pin displacement continued. Now I fix it with a wide grip plier by pushing the pin back in place.
The new issue with the unit now is the continued dimming of its LCD control window. I believe that in a few months, it will no longer be visible and by then the coffee maker will be useless.
It is difficult to understand why a company with such good reputation for their industrial mixers and other quality consumer kitchen counter appliances can manufacture such low quality product.
I will most likely receive a scripted reply from Kitchen Aid in an attempt to once again resolve the issue but, since the unit is already out of warranty, the company could remain silent about it.
In any case, I have begun a search for different brand of coffee maker to be ready when the LCD expires.

Tricia49417

The coffeemaker has a nice design but TERRIBLE FUNCTIONALITY. The programmable feature NEVER worked despite my following the instructions that were included with the product. I tried to research online (even researched on YouTube) but could not find instructions and finally gave up. The removable reservoir leaks. And the carafe chipped shortly after I purchased the coffeemaker. Wished I would have read the reviews first - many negative reviews. Very
disappointed in KitchenAid. This poorly designed coffeemaker is a black eye on a company known for exceptional quality.

I have one of these. It makes great coffee and is easy to use and clean. The problem is the digital screen has been slowly fading out since we got it (not a year old yet). We put in kitchenAid appliances on our kitchen remodel and received this coffee maker and other counter gadgets as a promo. Glad we didn't have to spend real money on it. Soon we will have a round circle with nothing in it.

Clean notice will not go off even after repeated cleanings with vinegar and water. Does have a considerable amount of condensation in brewing chamber but was used to that with Bunn. Love that you can pour a cup during brewing cycle.

Our 14 cup had problems and I was sent this 12 cup coffee maker. We own KitchenAid deluxe mixer, 2 blenders, food processor, 2 toasters, built in convection oven, coffee maker, burr grinder plus other items. Only problem was with this 12 cup coffee maker. Terrible, leaks, no beep when brew ready, brew basket leaks all over counter, can't control brew time, plus more. Looked for KitchenAid in Fred Myer, Shopko, Bed Bath and Beyond and no one stocking coffee makers. What does that tell you. Please make in America again..

Wish it wouldn't leak water everywhere when open
Analis
12/30/2018
I bought this about a month ago. Right away I noticed the maintenance it would require (because after brewing you open the lid to remove coffee filter/clean) it leaks water onto the water lid {ugh}.
I thought it would be less up keep from the upgrade of a manual basic coffee maker, but I didn't have this problem with the cheap one.
If you don't dry it right away, the coffee stains stay marked on the water lid.
I like it a lot because I can set it up from the previous night, but it's almost worth keeping the manual one without the preset.

The carafe is poorly designed. It is impossible to pour coffee without a mess. It also will steam your hand if you try to pour the last cup of coffee out of the pot. Other than that, I like the coffee maker. I wish they would spend a few bucks and get a carafe that has a pouring lip that works.

Coffee pot leaks
PatBurn
8/23/2018
I bought this coffee pot about a month ago. I make my coffee the evening before so I have coffee when I first get up, however some the water from the reservoir leaks out and on to the counter! At least a cup of water will be lost from some leak and I can't seem to locate it! At first I thought I was filling it to full, but that was not the issue! It makes great coffee and is easy to program, but I find the leak very annoying! I have always bought KitchenAid products, and been very happy with them in the past! However I am not happy with this one!

I have this coffee maker. I periodically soak the interior of the water reservoir with white vinegar for 1 hr then try to remove all the gunk the vinegar has loosened.
is there a soft pad with a handle for this? Bottle brush doesn't fit the contours real well.

Dnthmn

I bought this last year and I regret it. It is tall and I have to drag it out from under the upper cabinets of my kitchen, then shove it back after it's loaded. The element is too hot and if I don't leave the carafe balanced on the edge without touching the element the coffee quickly becomes burnt. Two speeds, regular and strong, a nice touch but the Strong takes twice as long to brew by which time the coffee is already starting to taste burnt. Okay, the coffee tastes good when it finishes brewing - about ten minutes for a 10 cup pot on regular - but so did my $40 Sunbeam.

Have had a few weeks now. Bought to replace my second Keurig in 2 1/2 years. I love all the features included , removable water reservoir, goldtine reusable filter , charcoal filter, the ability to select a full carafe or only 4 cups. Also the timer feature. I get the pot ready at night when I'm finishing up in the kitchen and set it so it starts brewing 5 minutes before my alarm goes off in the morning so I can be sipping on my Nectar of the Gods while emptying the dishwasher to start a new day. Before with my Keurig I would be emptying dishwasher while my cup was filling, and would take double time as my cup is 18 oz and the largest cup selection on my Keurig was 10, so after that filled I'd have to lift handle and start again selecting 6 oz to get a full cup...wasted time !!
Love my Kitchenaid coffee maker! I selected the silver and white and it goes beautifully with all my other Kitchenaid products.

Makes good coffee when it works
Loret

I have had 5 pots replaced since purchasing the initial one. 3 leaked, one the clock light died and this last one I asked them only to replace the carafe because the handle kept swiveling around. Very disappointed in KitchenAid Have many of there products and love them, coffee maker, not so much. Makes great, hot coffee when it isn't having one problem or another. Their exchange policy is wonderful and I know that, for the first year I will be able to receive replacements. After that I will have to buy a new coffee maker and it WON'T be a KitchenAid.

Water capacity guideline
ERROR, IMPROPER ARGUMENTS, ARGUMENTS MUST BE OF THE FORM NAME="VALUE", command = if_string test=""Dee""
2/20/2018
Is it possible to print the water capacity guideline on the side of the fill tank as well as the back? We fill our water tank using the hose from the kitchen faucet, and must turn the front of coffee maker completely opposite of our fill in order to determine the level of the water going in. It would be much easier to read the level from the side.

Bought this coffee maker thanks to larger yield and I love the Regular/Bold brewing capabilties. Also like that water reservoir can be detached for filling and has its own replaceable charcoal filter. Flip top for filling and coffee basket makes it easy to use, too.
