Kenmore Drip Coffee Maker - 12 Cup Programmable Cafe Machine With Glass Pot Regular Bold Brew Auto Shut

Purchased a Coffee Maker & matching Toaster. I just wanted a basic coffee maker. I am very happy with the quality, price & how attractive it is. It makes 12 cups which is ample for me. It is easy to operate. I just wish the button labeling was more defined, and easier to read. The buttons work well, and I am happy with the taste of coffee it produces. Having the changeable water filters help with that. Read more

Very easy to operate - very simple to set up and works very well. Read more

This is a solid, well-made coffee basic maker. It's style looks nice on my counter. It has a green led display which is soothing to my eyes over red. I'm very happy with it. Read more

Purchased in February 2025. I like the coffeemaker. It makes a good, hot cup of coffee and it’s aesthetically pleasing. Didn’t give it 5 stars because of the loud “coffees ready” alert or should I say alarm. It is so loud that I stopped programming the auto start because I can hear it upstairs with the door closed. Am in the market for a new coffeemaker preferably without an alarm. Read more

Makes an outstanding cup of coffee in minutes and without any mess or fuss. (Our Cuisinart was just a mess.) This Kenmore is so easy and mess-free, I set it up with coffee and water the day before, push one button to set the programmed time (3 a m in our house). Voila! Hot delicious coffee when we want it. I L O VE THIS MACHINE. Easy enough set up too. Programming the clock and timer are super easy. A tiny light comes on and even shows the programmed time. I like that a lot. We like strong coffee but have found this machine makes fantastic coffee without the need for utilizing the Bold option. (The 1-4 Cup/Bold option can be confusing. They should be separate buttons but they are not. We don’t need or use them anyway.) The coffee does not taste as good using the permanent filter as it does with paper filters. I buy the large Bunn filters on Amazon. The coffee maker works fairly quickly and you can steal a cup during brewing, but make haste. I love this carafe because it doesnt dribble; it has a clean fast pour. But because it is glass, the delicious coffee gets stale fast on the warmer. That first cup is really fantastic. Seattles Best Medium Roast is our choice for this machine, or Starbuck’s Pike’s Place medium roast…We even do half and half. What I like best is that the coffee is hot. What I like least is how fast it gets that burn-smell in the glass carafe, about the time it takes to drink that first delicious cup. I suggest if you drink more than one cup, pour the second right away, into a Yeti cup, or stainless carafe. I do not like how difficult it is to read the buttons. Tiny writing infuriates me. It isn’t even in bold lettering. But we only use the On/Off button now. Bottom line when all is said and done, this Kenmore works, it isn’t messy, and the coffee is so good every time. Update: makes such good coffee, we decided to order a stainless carafe to pour it into once the coffee is brewed. I have come back to give this coffee maker a fifth star. Read more

I have had this coffee maker 10 months and I’m frustrated with it. A few months into owning it the loud beep which should signify that it’s done, happens about 30 seconds into its cycle. This is very frustrating as I have it set for 3:45 in the morning because I would like my coffee done by the time I get up around 4AM. My bedroom is close to my kitchen and about half the time it wakes me up early with the loud beep. Not only that, it is taking about 45 minutes to brew 8 cups of coffee and the coffee is not hot which is unacceptable. I have cleaned it and replaced the reusable filter regularly. Also the automatic shut off feature that is supposed to happen when you pull the carafe away to pour your cup of coffee still drips a few drops onto the hot plate. I cannot recommend this coffee maker. I will be looking for a replacement soon because quite frankly, it’s just too hard to deal with at this point and I think I have a dud… Read more

Love the red. It matches all of my kitchenaid counter top appliances. Received the coffee maker today. Clean it up and made coffee. The taste was great. Easy to use and has all the functions I need to brew later and other functions. Would recommend this coffee maker. Read more
