COMPLETE REVIEW

The Braun BrewSense KF7170SI is one of the most elegant drip coffee makers we had the chance to review. It looks very stylish and offers much more in addition to its good looks. This brewer uses the latest technology to perfect the coffee making process and bring you the best possible coffee experience.

The BrewSense has a large, well-lit LED display that shows the time as well as any of the parameters you’ve put in. It’s equipped with a 12-cup double walled heat resistant carafe with a high-quality plastic handle. The FlavorCarafe has a special lid that seals in the aroma and keeps the coffee inside the vessel hot longer. Braun’s brewer comes with a charcoal filter and a gold-tone reusable coffee filter for your convenience. And while this coffee maker can brew a full batch of 12 cups, it can also be set to make no more than four. And to make your coffee just the way you like it, you can choose between a bold or regular brew.

Ease of use

The Braun BrewSense KF7170SI is simple to use largely thanks to its clean design. All functions are clearly labeled and easily accessible. The large LED screen is easily readable and, since it’s well-lit, you’ll be able to use it in the dark as well. As you choose different options by pressing the given buttons, different features will light up green on the LED screen above them. This way you can be sure you selected just the option you initially intended to.

Cleaning the coffee maker is as easy as using it. Since the glass carafe is dishwasher safe, you only have to worry about descaling your brewer after a certain period. The whole process takes less than 45 minutes and it’s mostly automatic. All you have to do is keep an eye out on the Clean button since when it’s time for cleaning it will turn green. Braun recommends using Braun Descaling Solution for descaling their coffee makers. For detailed instructions you should consult the user manual.

This coffee machine will fit in nicely on any kitchen counter top. It features a large lit LED display and it’s very simple to use thanks to its clean design. It can make a maximum of 12 cups, but it also has a 1-4 feature that brews smaller batches. The Braun BrewSense KF7170SI uses the latest in technology to bring you the coffee of your dreams.

Pricing

The Braun BrewSense KF7170SI can be purchased for $129.95 on Braun’s official web presentation. The site also provides a link to the Bed, Bath & Beyond page that had this item for $99.99. The manufacturer provides a two-year limited warranty with this brewer.
