4 out of 5 stars   Notchy''s Coffeemaker
By Notchy on February 18, 2014
Review submitted for Krups FME2-14 Coffee Machine with 12- Cup Glass Carafe (Black) (KRFME214)
Pros: Looks good, makes excellent coffee, another home run from KRUP'S. This coffeemaker was for my Sunday School Class.
Cons: The time display on the bottom very difficult to see. I have another KRUP's at home and the display is on the top, much easier to see.

Review submitted for Krups FME2-14 Coffee Machine with 12- Cup Glass Carafe (Black) (KRFME214)
Pros: Large Pot, Easy To Clean, Brews Quickly
Cons: Complicated Controls
Other Comments: The directions to program are difficult and unclear. Had to call the help line to program first time. We have had a power outage and guess we will have to call again, we have tried for two days to get it programed! Would not buy again.

3 out of 5 stars   Drips water on counter
By Fred on April 29, 2012
Review submitted for Krups FME2-14 Coffee Machine with 12- Cup Glass Carafe (Black) (KRFME214)
Pros: Brews Quickly
Cons: Pot drips when pouring
Other Comments: This is a great coffee pot except for the following issues: 1. The pot drips when pouring - must hold dishcloth underneath. 2. The pot lid won't stay open. Must hold open or remove when filling. 3. The reservoir is too small. The pot holds more water than the reservoir and it is too easy to overfill the pot when adding water which then runs out the back of the machine -- Solved by adding sealant to weep hole.

4 out of 5 stars   Good Coffee, Ergonomically Challenged
By lipp on September 26, 2010
Verified Purchase
Review submitted for Krups FME2-14 Coffee Machine with 12- Cup Glass Carafe (Black) (KRFME214)
Pros: Brews Quickly
Cons: Difficult to fill
Other Comments: First, this model does not appear on the Krups website, leading me to believe that it had been discontinued. That alone should not dissuade you from buying it. However, while the coffee produced by this model is excellent, the design of the "water window" makes it very difficult to see how much water you've added. Air bubbles are frequently produced making the number of cups you've added all but unreadable. Plus (and this may sound silly until you try it), the window is on the left side of the unit, making it awkward to add water to the tank from the carafe in your right hand while simultaneously viewing the window on the left. Built for lefties, perhaps? Plus, the water tank's opening is inconveniently designed, making it hard to pour in the water without spillage, especially if the unit placed on a high counter top, which it almost always will be in an average kitchen. Still, the coffee it makes is quite good, and the price is right for a Krups.

2 out of 5 stars   Disappointed
By Off and Running on September 24, 2010
Verified Purchase
Review submitted for Krups FME2-14 Coffee Machine with 12- Cup Glass Carafe (Black) (KRFME214)
Pros: Brews Quickly, Large Pot, Easy To Use, Easy To Clean
Cons: Loud, Coffee Doesn't Stay Hot
Other Comments: We had a Krups that lasted 8 years, so I did not hesitate to buy this one as a replacement. What a disappointment. The pop-top water reservoir is easy to access, but made out of cheap, ill-fitting plastic that does not close properly. The coffee holder opens from the right - fine - but the water level indicator is on the left, hidden behind the open chamber. Impossible? No. Annoying? Definitely. This model is not Krups finest hour.

1 out of 5 stars   Failed after four months
By Steaming cup of Joe on September 23, 2010
Review submitted for Krups FME2-14 Coffee Machine with 12- Cup Glass Carafe (Black) (KRFME214)
Pros: Brews Quickly
Cons: Excessive steam discharge, Loud, Hard To Clean
Other Comments: Loudest appliance in the kitchen. Most expensive, shortest lived, and highest steam producing coffeemaker in our 50 years of coffee making experience. Could not operate it under the cabinet due to steam threatening the cabinets. Took a chance based on other positive reviews. First and last Kraps product for this Joe. Will follow-up after the warranty/service experience. The electronics failed after four months of light use. Is is possible the electronics and steam don't go together (hummmmm).

4 out of 5 stars   No Disappointment Here
By Coffee4me on September 13, 2010

Review submitted for Krups FME2-14 Coffee Machine with 12- Cup Glass Carafe (Black) (KRFME214)
Pros: Brews Quickly, Easy To Clean, Easy To Use
Cons: Timer sets AM only
Other Comments: Timer setting could be worked out better: if you set your timer in the PM, it still wants to read AM, so there may be a problem if you set your pot to automatic. It's no big deal, though, just a note in the instructions would be useful[...] Appreciated!

1 out of 5 stars   Disappointing
By JavaXpert on May 04, 2010
Verified Purchase
Review submitted for Krups FME2-14 Coffee Machine with 12- Cup Glass Carafe (Black) (KRFME214)
Pros:
Cons:
Other Comments: I'm having a difficult time getting a good tasting pot of coffee from this unit. I've tried regular brew speed, slow brew, extra coffee beans, half pot, full pot -- nothing is succeeding. It just tastes off. The water gets very hot too, which should be a plus. My previous machine was a 7-year-old similar-priced Krups and it always tasted great. This one is quite loud too at the end of the brew cycle, sputtering and popping like an old Model T in a Keystone Kops movie. I'm going to try it without the water filter and if it still tastes lousy I'm buying a different brand of coffee maker.
