Braun BrewSense 12 Cup Drip Coffee Maker - Pause Pour Mid Brew Coffee Machine with 24-Hour Timer Clock

The perfect coffee maker with the 'right' amount of features for me. After having a bad coffee maker, I went on a quest to find the best coffee maker for me. I bought this coffee maker during their black Friday sale. It's a bit pricey but worth it, considering I rely on it EVERY morning. It's absolutely perfect after a month of use with no signs of wear. The clock is easy to set and is actually reliable. (My previous coffee maker forced me to adjust the clock every day by 2 minutes) The auto on feature has worked flawlessly. The auto off feature allows for up to a full 5 hours of perfectly heated coffee. (You can adjust the temperature if necessary) The coffee filter holder is removable so you can throw your old grounds out without making a mess. It's also a bit larger than most which allows the coffee grounds to expand without any water leaking out. The carafe has a normal thumb press hinge lid on it which allows you to fill and measure your water easily. (I actually like the built in measuring system in the tank itself, I thought I'd miss the water fill window but I don't) The separate lights make it easy to discern which state your coffee maker is in. Example: Your spouse makes coffee and sets the auto on for the morning without telling you. You go to prepare coffee for the morning but a mere glance tells you it's already prepared. Easy to clean and I expect this to last due to the quality of the build. Finally, a coffee maker I can trust. Read more

S far, we really like this Braun coffee maker. It makes very good coffee, with options for auto on auto off, strength of coffee, warming plate, temperature, number of cups to be brewed, etc. it took me a while to get everything figured out, but I think I have it now! The coffee maker is sleek, looking and compact. I’ve been using the gold filter rather than using paper filters, and the coffee is great. Easy to clean up as well. I did quite a bit of hunting for a coffee maker this time. I have been using a Keurig K cup machine and was tired of the expense of the pods as well as the amount of waste I was creating and having to get rid of. Try out the Braun Brew Sense! Read more

This is my second Braun coffee maker, and so many improvements over the last one. There is a button for strength of coffee as well as temperature of coffee. But most importantly, the coffee taste strong and it’s an easy coffee pot to use. I recommend it recommended.☕️ Read more

Excellent coffee maker! The only change I made was swapping out the included plastic filter for a stainless steel one—purely personal preference, as I generally avoid those plastic filters. Now it's programmed to brew every morning at 5 a.m., and the coffee is hot and ready the moment I come downstairs. It's incredibly easy to use and clean. Highly recommend, especially if you can catch it on sale—great value for the price. Read more

My Krups Coffee pot gave out after 31 wonderful years. Took a chance with this Braun because it would fit in my available counter space. After two months and 60+ days of use, I couldn’t be happier. It’s a perfect fit, is easy to clean, looks great and makes a very good good cup of coffee. It doesn’t have any leakage issues and although price was not a factor for me, this was a very good value for the price. Read more

This Braun BrewSense looks sleek on my counter. it has a small footprint and fits neatly next to my small air fryer. The various options are not needed by me, but nice to have…just in case. My old beloved coffee maker had a horrible looking metal heating/ warmer base. My new beauty seems to have a clean black plastic(?) base. the carafe pours w/o dripping and its lid can pop off completely or just lifts and stays up for rinsing. I am not fond of not being able to see the amount of water that the reservoir holds. And the reservoir is a bit hard for my 82yr old hand/and arm to pour water into. But I am getting used to these minor inconveniences. This pot comes w/an optional water filter that (if used) should be changed every 3 months!! I hate that kind of maintenance. Thank goodness I have R/O water at my kitchen sink. I also bought cone shaped #4 paper filters to more easily discard used coffee grounds. I haven’t tried just using the copper colored reusable filter w/o the paper filters yet. I bought this pot on “Sale” for about $80. Overall i am delighted with this coffee maker. 80 bucks well spent.

This is the second purchase or this model I’ve purchased as it’s by far the best automatic coffee maker I’ve ever used so easy to set up brew time and makes great coffee. It automatically tells you when it needs cleaning and at first I didn’t like that but it’s worth cleaning it as it calls for as I’ve had my first one going on 4 years and I wanted to have one on hand because I’m so impressed with the one I’m using Read more

It makes good coffee. I especially like that it has a “bold” brew option, though that was not the deciding factor. The timer is nice and I like waking up to the aroma of fresh coffee. 12 cup capacity is good because leftover coffee goes into the fridge for iced coffee. The off timer is a good feature too. Overall, the coffee tastes pretty smooth probably due to the water filter. I use filtered water anyway. Key thing to note is it took five passes of water only to “break it in.” The first pass I could smell the plastic in the air. Then I made a small pot of coffee and could still taste plastic. Fortunately, after five passes the plastic smell and taste was gone. Read more
