Q: It says it does cold brew and also brew over ice. Does it really cold brew or is it just brew over ice?
submitted by Natalie - 1 month ago
A: Thank you for your interest in our MultiServe Plus KF9250 Drip Coffee. Please note that Cold Brew and Over Ice beverages are different despite both being served with ice and cold. They undergo very different processes. Over Ice: This is a process brewing the coffee using hot water directly over ice to obtain cold coffee. For a less diluted Over Ice beverage, we recommend brewing the coffee without ice and waiting for it to cool before adding ice. Cold Brew: This is a process brewing the coffee using room temperature water. The coffee is brewed at lower temperature to enhance its sweet and full-bodied properties. To obtain a perfect Cold Brew drink, we recommend preparing it in a carafe without ice, placing it in the refrigerator for 15 minutes and serving it with ice.

Babyreviews - 27 days ago
This coffee maker looks great, but unfortunately it is not reliable. The settings are unnecessarily complicated. The pot does not have a proper spout so it always spills easily, and it has a ridge that is impossible to clean, especially if it goes through the dishwasher. It stopped working after LESS than 2 years. Not worth the investment whatsoever. I recommend avoiding purchasing this.

We switch from a K-cup coffee maker. This makes our coffee hot and honestly tastes so much better. We didn’t realize we had a been missing out all these years. And it’s easy to use. I love the timer I can set so my coffee is ready and waiting on me first thing in the morning.

Melanie - 29 days ago, Verified purchaser
I took a chance on this one because it costs more than I would normally spend on a coffee maker. I like that I don’t need a separate filter and that I can put the water holder right under the kitchen faucet (no pouring needed). However, after only one week the auto-on feature stopped working so I can’t schedule my coffee! Also the unit is just pretty big on the counter. Eh, I’d spend this much money on something else and go with a cheaper model.

Over priced! It's not a wow machine! Just basic except for size of brew options. Should have been priced under $100. Can't say I'd recommend it. Considering the capacity be just 10 cups one would think the overall size would be smaller. It's a bit bulky on the counter top.

This coffee pot was a waste It lasted maybe 3 months... Then nothing but warm coffee. We had to microwave it so we would have hot coffee Called for warranty replacement but customer service was awful They said they would e mail me instructions but e mail never came Twice!!!! I would not buy again. Note: If you do decide to complain be sure to have receipt If not they go buy manufactured date not sold date. Basically my coffee maker was already out of warranty when it was sold. Three years. Ouch on Target too.

Unfortunately I cannot give this product a negative star rating. In the two year warranty period I have had 5 replacement machines that have all stopped working. There must be no quality control process for this to happen. There was no problem getting replacements. Average life span is 2 months.

Hello, Thank you for sharing your experience. We sincerely regret the repeated issues you’ve encountered and understand how frustrating it must be to have gone through multiple replacements within the warranty period. While we're glad to hear that replacements were provided promptly, the frequency of failure is certainly not reflective of the quality we strive for. Your feedback has been forwarded to our quality assurance team for immediate review. For any ongoing support, please contact us Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 8 p.m., at 1-888-335-6644.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This coffee maker is a great coffee maker it’s not to big or not to small. It’s very convenient whether you want just a cup for you & your spouse or even if you have many people over it can make a pot off coffee for those cold nights. It has different settings you can choose either Bold or Gold, Cold brew or over ice over all I think it’s a pretty great coffee maker totally recommended.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Braun MultiServe Plus Coffee Maker with Cold Brew is a fantastic coffee machine that does it all. Whether you’re into hot coffee, iced coffee, or cold brew, this machine has got you covered, and it makes the whole process super easy. **Design and Build:** The design is sleek and modern, so it looks great on your kitchen counter without taking up too much space. It’s simple to use, with a clear display and easy-to-understand buttons. Plus, it feels sturdy and well-built. **Brewing Features:** What really sets this coffee maker apart is how versatile it is. Here’s what you can brew: **Hot Coffee:** The "Gold Cup" setting brews at just the right temperature for a perfectly balanced cup of hot coffee. - **Iced Coffee:** It brews at a higher temp and cools down fast, so your iced coffee won’t end up watered down. - **Cold Brew:** The cold brew feature is amazing. It brews slowly at a lower temp, so you get a smooth, rich flavor with less acidity. It takes a few hours, but it’s totally worth the wait. **Performance:** The coffee quality is top-notch every time. Whether it’s a hot cup of coffee or cold brew, the flavor is always spot-on. You can also adjust how strong you want your coffee, which is great if you like it stronger or lighter. The thermal carafe is a nice touch too. It keeps your coffee hot for hours without overcooking it, which helps keep the taste fresh. **Ease of Use and Cleaning:** It’s easy to figure out how to use, and cleaning it isn’t a hassle either. The carafe and the brewing parts are simple to clean, and the removable drip tray makes everything even more convenient. **Pros:** - Super versatile: hot, iced, and cold brew options. - Great tasting coffee every time. - Easy to use with adjustable strength settings. - Thermal carafe keeps coffee hot without burning it. - Looks good on the counter without being bulky. **Cons:** - Cold brew takes a few hours, so it’s not as quick as the other options. - It’s a bit on the pricier side compared to basic coffee makers. **Final Thoughts:** If you love different types of coffee, the Braun MultiServe Plus is a great choice. It’s easy to use, makes awesome coffee, and looks good doing it. The cold brew process takes a bit of time, but it’s totally worth it if you're into smooth, rich cold brew. Definitely a solid pick for coffee lovers who want quality and convenience in one machine.

I enjoy good coffee at home. I retired a Bonavita 8 cup maker in favor of this Braun. SCA certified makes a difference! The Bonavita and this Braun are certified to make excellent coffee. This Braun works great! I was thinking I'd like the removable water tank. If you make less than a full pot, it's great. Fill it for a full pot, it's easy to spill water putting it back in place. Not a big deal. I fill the carafe and pour into the tank. My Bonavita made excellent coffee. So does this Braun. I also like having the option of cold brew.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Okay, so, like, you guys know I can't function without my coffee. Seriously, it's not just a drink, it's, like, my lifeblood. It's the elixir of the gods, okay? And before I got the Braun MultiServe Plus, my morning routine was, like, a mess. First, I'd have to grind the beans (so. much. work.), then measure out the water (who has time for that at 6 am?), and then wait, like, forever for it to brew. Ugh. Total mom fail. But now? Game. Changer. The Braun MultiServe Plus is, like, my new best friend. Seriously. It's so easy to use, even my husband can figure it out (bless his heart). I can choose from, like, seven different brew sizes, which is perfect because some days I need a small cup just to get me through until preschool drop-off, and other days, I need, like, a magnum size to deal with, well, everything. You know what I mean? And the best part? It has this MultiServe dial, so I can choose the strength of my coffee. I like mine strong, like, "wake me up and get the kids to school on time" strong. But my husband prefers his a little weaker, so it's perfect for both of us. No more fighting over the coffee! Hallelujah! Plus, it's, like, so sleek and stylish. It looks amazing on my countertop. It's all black and chrome, very chic, very LA. It's definitely an upgrade from my old, clunky coffee maker that looked like it belonged in a museum. And did I mention the aroma? Oh my god, the aroma! The MultiServe Plus brews my coffee so perfectly, it fills my entire kitchen with this amazing, heavenly scent. It's like having my own little coffee shop in my house. Seriously, it's pure bliss. So, yeah, if you're a coffee-obsessed mom like me, you need the Braun MultiServe Plus in your life. It's, like, the key to a happy morning. Trust me, you won't regret it. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go pour myself another cup. Namaste.

Idk if I got a defective product, but I will be returning. Coffee temp is Luke warm at best. Also if you make a pot of coffee the warmer does not stay on very long, probably 30-45 mins max despite programming it to be on longer. I'm really disappointed in this brand and product.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Braun MultiServe Plus Coffee Maker with Cold Brew is amazing for many reasons. First I love that I can make a hot cup of coffee in less than 8 minutes and even a cold brew in less than 13 minutes. You can customize your coffee to your liking and it has 7 different brew sizes from a single cup to a full carafe. You can make any coffee you want like Gold, Bold, Over Ice, and my now favorite cold brew. This coffee maker is great quality and has a beautiful sleek stainless steel and black design that will match any kitchen. It’s also very convenient because it’s so quick, easy and efficient. Thank you to @Braun and @Influenster for sending this to review. As always I am very grateful and I love trying new things.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been using this coffee maker for about two months now. I will admit that I have only made brewed hot coffee and have never used the other brewing options. We just don’t drink iced coffee. I have never had a coffee maker that is this nice before either. Turns out I didn’t know what I was missing. I used the same brand of coffee as always but both my husband and I can tell a difference in the taste of our morning coffee. I read the manual and it was easy to set the clock and it is easy to set the timer to have coffee ready in the morning. I have not had the need to clean it yet so I can’t speak to the ease of the process. Only having the machine for a couple of months I can not speak to the durability of the machine. Overall with the time spent I have had a positive experience and I am happy to have this machine as it certainly has upped my coffee drinking experience.
