I had a slightly smaller BRAUN coffee machine in use, with which I was satisfied. Unfortunately broke the pot, I could not buy more and I have decided after some research for the BRAUN KF 47. After a few weeks in use, I can state that the machine cooks really good coffee, that is not too hot and not too cool. It is clear that to hot coffee quickly not tastes good and this machine heated the coffee really good. Another striking feature is the rapid preparation of the coffee, the machine is relatively quiet to work for me. The drip shield works well so far. The filler opening for the water is of sufficient size, thus filling well. Should also be mentioned that my model did not come with the second switch for heat retention, ie. I only have a switch (on / off)
Now the negatives: The lid of the pot has only behind a filigree hinge so the lid is almost exclusively on the pot. The lid may not fall, because then he probably breaks easily. The pot itself is not well on the hotplate but squirms here easily. Furthermore, it is also the aroma preservation, which is carried forward a flap on the lid of the can, quite weak. As I said, this may cover not fall and from other reviews I gather that this has happened a number of occasions and the cover was blown.
Overall, I'm pleased and happy to forgive four star.
