Description
- Note: 1)Too coarse a grind, too little coffee, or insufficiently tamping the grounds before brewing can all lead to inadequate pressure for a proper brew. 2)It is important to note that the amount of espresso extracted will vary depending on the grind size and amount and reprogramming may be needed when the size and amount are adjusted - The perfect cup of coffee: Braun’s pure flavor technology ensures your coffee is made at the right temperature and brewing time to extract the best coffee flavor and aroma. Expect excellent results, whether you brew a full pot or choose the 1–4 cup setting - Wake up to a fresh pot: A programmable 24-hour timer means your coffee will be ready when you are. The auto shutoff feature will turn it off automatically. And the easy-to-read clock is visible from anywhere in your kitchen - Rich flavor anytime: The brew pause system lets you pour a cup anytime during the brew cycle without dripping. Plus, the 12 cup flavor carafe seals in the fresh flavor by minimizing air exposure - Your coffee your way: A unique water level indicator lets you brew an 11-ounce mug or up to 12 cups of coffee - Smarter by design: The sleek, elegant design features a smaller footprint, lower profile, easy-access control panel and convenient cord storage - Pure pleasure with every sip: The Braun gold-tone filter, unlike paper, enhances the flavor of your coffee by allowing essential oils to reach your cup. A charcoal filter purifies brewing water, and a cleaning feature can be customized to different water hardness levels

Customer reviews
Minimal burning of coffee oil’s.
This brewed what is possibly the third best cup of coffee I’ve ever had. The two best cups of black coffee I ever had both came from Bunn thermally regulated machines (big bucks). This is the first non-regulated machine that almost made a cup of coffee without burning any of the oil. The burning of the coffee oil was minimal, I don’t think many people would detect it besides the few of us that enjoy black coffee and can tell when the oil is burnt. Overall it’s a really nice machine, it is compact, easy to operate, the carafe doesn’t dribble and seems to brew a really good cup of coffee. Although it is 2 to 4 times less expensive than all the other coffee makers I’ve ever owned, it out brews all of them except one (a Bunn). However at this price and simplicity you can’t go wrong. I have found that I get a nearly perfect cup of coffee if I refrigerate the carafe of water overnight before brewing. The only gripe I really have about the coffee maker is that the clock is difficult to read because it is not backlit and with the lighting in my kitchen there is a glare on the plastic covering the clock making it difficult to read. So forget the clock, forget setting it to turn on in the morning, and don’t think it’s going to make a chime to let you know it’s done. All those features don’t work or are impossible to see or don’t exist. Just enjoy a great cup of coffee from a quality $40 machine. On a side note, you should leave the top open when you are done brewing to let the moisture out and if by some chance, you pull the carafe out while brewing for too long the brew chamber can overfill with water and back up the coffee grounds into your sprayer. If this happens and you have a spray hose at your sink, turn it upside down, and wash it out. You may get some grounds circulated up through the sprayer for a while, but your coffee filter will keep them from going into your carafe. For those of you that want to taste a cup of coffee exactly like what you had in your favorite restaurant you can drop about $900 to fully outfit a Bunn 12950. To update, it is now April 2025 and the little coffee maker is still going strong, so I bought another one, because if you live in California It is against state law for manufacturers to sell replacement parts for small (residential appliances) so since I’ve had this unit unit since 2019 I figured I should buy another one before it is discontinued or heaven forbid, it possibly breaks. I discovered this obscure state law when my (Bunn) coffee makers heating element went out. I called the manufacture to purchase a replacement element, and they informed me as to California law and why they could not sell me the replacement part, they stated to me that appliances listed as (Commercial) can have replacement parts but not (residential).

Great coffee maker!
This makes excellent coffee! We find the flavor to be better than our beloved grind and brew machine. Water temperature is the primary factor in the quality of coffee flavor. Now, all these coffee brewers have to boil the water to work, but there must be something to the design of this machine that gets the water to the grinds hotter than our grind & brew. This is a little bigger than a typical brewer, but it is shorter than our grind & brew. It also does 12 cups, so it should be bigger. I am 5' 9 1/3", my wife a few inches shorter, both seniors. Neither of us has any trouble filling the machine or reading the water level markings. We definitely prefer glass carafes. We like being able to see how much liquid is in the carafe. This carafe is also marked for each cup, not every 2 cups like some others. The glass and the markings allow us to use it to add water to the water reservoir easily. It pours well and is easy to clean. In well over a month of daily use we have had no problems with it. The brewer itself and the filter are easier to clean than our other coffee makers. I found the settings to be easy and relatively intuitive. While the 12 cup capacity will be useful for family gatherings, my normal quantity is 6 cups. Occasionally I will make less, so it seems beneficial to have a button for 4 or fewer cups. The design is attractive as well as functional. It looks nice in our kitchen. The cord is a little short. I understand the reason they chose to keep it short, but I would have preferred a few more inches. I highly recommend this coffee maker.

Better than expected!
I am not a coffee snob but my motto is "life is too short for bad coffee". Basically I don't care about taking out a second mortgage and having 100 gadgets to make a cup of coffee. I want my coffee rich, dark, strong and hot!!! I just replaced a much more expensive coffeemaker with this Braun coffeemaker. My last one only made 40 ounces/8 cups so my husband and I would had a coffee shortage every morning. The Braun makes 60 ounces/12 cups. First of all, I don't have to use as much coffee grounds. I use Seattles Best 5, and would use one scoop for every cup of water. with the Braun I used 9 scoops for the 12 cups of water and the coffee was perfect. The Braun makes very strong coffee. The coffee is good and hot. The coffee pot is simple to use and looks very nice on the counter!! The carafe does not dribble. It has a function if you're making 1-4 cups and it has a preset if you get up at the same time every morning and want your coffee waiting for you. I noticed hardly any steam came up the top as it was brewing, which made me and the bottom of my cabinets happy. I don't know where the steam went but it's a great design. It does not have a water level indicator so you will have to use your carafe to fill and keep track of water going in the machine. I am very very happy with this purchase.

Purchased as a backup
This coffee maker was actually bought as a backup for the one that I am using now. I have owned about SIX. Braun coffee makers over the course of my adult life and they have all been excellent. I would concede that they don't last nearly as long as they did when I was in my twenties but to me they are the best coffee maker that can be purchased for the money. There was about a seven-year period when you could not purchase a Braun coffee maker in this country they were produced for the European market but would not work in the United States. So what I do now is I always keep a spare on hand and if my current coffee maker fails then I am assured to at least have a backup in the hope that by the time the backup would fail then Braun would be available in the US market once again I highly recommend Braun coffee makers to me the ones with the physical buttons rather than a touch screen are better but it may be that next time around that will be what is available I noticed that with this purchase they had far fewer options available than the last time I purchased one but I highly recommend their products they make a fantastic cup of coffee that is as hot as I want it to be and richly flavorful I don't think you could go wrong with one of their coffee makers.
