Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description
Combining appealing and distinctive design with a powerful, fully programmable brewing system, this 1100-watt coffeemaker provides fast and efficient brewing. The unit features a cascading brew head that delivers a shower of hot water to ensure even extraction, while its flavor-control aroma switch maximizes flavor--perfect when brewing smaller amounts. Even more, the coffeemaker's bright-blue, illuminated LED control panel makes it easy to program the clock and timer, which allows for waking up to the aroma of freshly brewed coffee and offers automatic shut-off options (from one to five hours). A glass carafe comes included, complete with a stay-cool handle and a drip-free pour spout. For sneaking a quick cup of coffee midbrew, simply remove the carafe from the machine to pause the flow of coffee, then replace the carafe to continue the brewing process--a nice feature, particularly for those in a hurry for that first sip. Other highlights include a 60-ounce water reservoir, an empty water-reservoir detection function that shuts the unit off automatically if empty, an audible "ready" signal at the end of the brewing cycle, and a DuoFilter water-filtration system that removes chlorine for better-tasting coffee and helps reduces mineral deposits for longer machine life. The sleek-looking coffeemaker measures 10-1/2 by 8-1/2 by 13-3/4 inches.
The FME2 Coffee Machine follows Krups’ long tradition of superior design and function. All Krups kitchen appliances have been inspired by experts and consumers with uncompromising standards of performance and quality. The FME2 quickly brews better tasting coffee thanks to a 1,100 watt heating element and a cascading brew head for even extraction. A highly visible blue LED control panel provides access to functions such as: a programmable clock for daily start and auto-off options (from 1-5 hours). The pause and serve feature allows interruption anytime during the brewing cycle to remove the carafe; an audible signal sounds when the brewing cycle is complete. The water reservoir holds 60 ounces and will automatically shut off when empty. Includes sturdy 12 cup glass carafe.

Customer Reviews

I was a little concerned about opening up shop away from home, 3 states away, and having to leave my tried and true Krups Pro Aroma behind. Granted, its an 8 year old model, but it made a great cup of coffee, and I had mastered the fairly simple interface for programming and setup.
In my search, I read a LOT of negative reviews about the new Krups product family. Really not a surprise cause even the Pro Aroma had its many quirks, but still.....the coffee. So, after reading a bunch of bad reviews on Braun, Mr Coffee, Cuisinart, and Krups coffeemakers, I figured $60 was worth the risk to plunk down on this model. My first impression when I opened the box was that the coffemaker was solid and well constructed, but that the carafe was too light and thinly formed. But after two weeks of use I really cant find anything to complain about.
Yes, the carafe is very light, but I like it. And it pours well with no drips. I havent yet attempted to program the machine cause thats not a necessity for me, but hit the "ON" button and in about 5 minutes you have a fast, hot, and extraordinarily flavored pot of coffee. And this is honestly the best coffee I've ever had from this machine, even much better than my old Pro Aroma from the same manufacturer.
I dont know how Krups does it, and I dont care, this machine is just one of the best on the market today, and probably thee best when we're talking about the quality of the end result...which is all that matters. 5 beans

I had a Krups purchased in 1999 that lasted 7 years - it was the best coffee maker I have ever owned. After it died, I noticed that Krups was not making the same model so I bought a Braun KF510 (which I love and highly recommend).
I bought this Krups as a Christmas gift for my parents, and I was disappointed in the quality. The pot itself feels extremely thin (much thinner than my $35 Braun machine). It did not come with a gold mesh filter (or any filter)and the filter basket does not really fit properly with the machine, so it snags every time you close it.
Another problem is that you cannot turn the pot back on once it turns off: the machine tries to brew all over again, and then turns off after indicating there is no water. So, you must program the coffee pot to stay on longer, and if you want to keep it warm after it turns off, you cannot. I have never seen a coffee pot do this.
Overall, my Braun KF510 machine is sturdier and more well-made than this one. The Krups does make a good-tasting cup of coffee, and my parents seem happy with it. I think a better machine could be purchased for less money. I do not think it is worth the price.
Note: In all of my research while looking for decent coffee makers, Braun and Krups are the best on the market.
