My Braun (second one) finally gave up the ghost. It made the best coffee I've ever had. Any ideas for an equally good, non-Braun replacement

My Braun KF580 is on its last leg and I dread its demise. I agree that this coffee pot makes the best coffee. I've looked at possible replacements but haven't found one. I've been thinking about a Keurig when the time comes to replace it. I just wish Braun hadn't stopped manufacturing US coffee pots.

My first one died , I think 2 years ago . Like you I had found it made the best coffee ever . I searched high and low for another and thankfully I found one on Amazon. So to answer you question no I know of no other that makes coffee as well. I had had many different kinds of coffeemakers in the past and none came even close to as good as this one.

I am a loyal Braun user and found a new one on amazon. This was a couple of years ago so not sure if a vendor offers one.

Sorry that happened, and I wish I could help, they do not make that pot anymore, I called and emailed them to no avail. Do you have the booklet any more? Never mind, I just looked at mine, and it hasn't got any sort of answer to that, good luck, I have to throw mine out, it has no replaceable carafe!! What a waste.

The only time I've had a problem was when I froze beans. I've since learned that isn't actually good for the beans anyway. But Peet's Major Dickason's blend is my choice also, and works just fine in this coffee maker! I do always, always brew on "strong" and use just a touch less water than the carafe indicates.Edited to add: I 've just read some other answers, and I'm embarrassed - but happy - to report that we never clean the chute. The only time we did was after we froze the beans and they gunked up the works!

Same here. Never again. Just purchased an inexpensive Sunbeam last night because the three month old Cuisinart finally stopped working forever. We've been having to bounce it on the counter several times to get it to start brewing ever since my frustrating conversations with Cuisinart's lack-of-customer service department.

Used the Braun for several years before trying the Panasonic. Panasonic better by a long shot. Better, smoother shave. Much sturdier.

I hated that coffee maker! Threw it in the trash. Tried everything to keep it from overflowing but nothing worked. Sorry

Thanks JJLet me know how you like the A10.Now the question is, how are you grinding your beans? I have a Baratza Vario and I am also very happy with it. Occasionally grinds will stick in the basket due to static, but overall pretty rock solid. They have the new Vario that doses by weight; wish I had it. When I use my Chemex or Hario pour overs, I weigh out the beans and water. If you haven't tried a pour over, it's an inexpensive investment which brews excellent coffee.Happy brewing my friend...

I have called Melitta and since they have discontinued this model (MEMB1) there are NO replacement parts. They did give me the part numbers to search on the internet for the replacement carafe (MEMBCFW - white or MEMBCFB - black). I am very frustrated, and I feel that I may have to throw the whole coffee maker away. This is not a very customer friendly product or company if they don't have replacement parts!

I returned my Keuring after 10 days. Solodil with my favorite fresh grind or Vue Cup both yield the same poor results. Keurings brew lousy under-brewed coffee. Period.

Very sorry, I have never purchased that coffeemaker model, only the Braun BX600 or very similar. Can you contact the manufacturer? Good luck. Vivian :)

I know this will not help but good luck, my maker stopped working after 2 months. I bought it at J C Penney. They were eliminating Bodum . Bodum did not back it up. POOR SERVICE. When it was working it made great coffee. Good luck

Hello, I'm sorry I can't help, we bought two expresso machines at the same time and decided to keep Brewille Barista Express instead of Philips Saeco. I would probably contact a dealer and ask them.

I've had many mr. coffees...the JWX23 is a pretty decent unit...it's our second one...we get a couple years out of them...maybe a year and a half...we make a couple of pots every day. Every couple months we run vinegar through...keeps the brewing speed good...I tried black and decker...some of them are o.k...I tried the mr. coffee with the insulated decanter...never hot enough...we had one black and decker like that, and another black and decker that was super hot... Before you buy any coffee maker, smell the water chamber...some of the other companies use bad smelling rubber components... I'd recommend the JWX23...it's one of their better ones so far...If I didn't like it, I wouldn't have bought the 2nd one....

I have been searching for one and have not yet found it. It is a beautiful machine but I did not know what to look for when I bought it. It's Cafe "Americano" is terrible. I just got the "Lungo" and it is better but not great. The Cappuccino is good but very expensive. If I had known more I might have bought something else.By the way, Amazon has most of their coffees shipped free if you have Prime.

I've just read that the factory just closed their doors. Sad if this is true. I'm glad that I already have mine. I'm not sure what brand is comparable quality wise.
