Makes the best pot of coffee of all the grind-and-brews...but not without pain and misery. Must add this final note to our comments. The grinder just died. Arrrgh! Less than 2 years of use. Call us suckers, we just ordered another! It makes the BEST pot of coffee!

I really wanted to love this Krups grind and brew. I have owned 6 (yes, six) of the older Krups Grind and Brew 7000 series. The coffee always tasted great in the 7000. But the more recent purchases of the 7000 did not work properly; they would grind but not drip the water through. So I looked to this newer version to have solved that problem.
So here comes the Krups KM785D50 today. For the first pot, one is supposed to brew 10 cups of clear water using the “Grind Off” function. The purpose of the “Grind Off” function is to be able to brew a pot of coffee with already-ground coffee. (Never put already-ground coffee through this burr grinder.). Turned it on...? Same problem as the 7000... no water processed. Did not even turn on the unit!!! ARRRRGGHH!
I was able to brew a pot of coffee by using the “grind and brew” function and it behaved well.
After calling customer service at Krups, we discovered an omission of a very important step in the instruction booklet.
So here is how it should read, and note I am paraphrasing, new instruction in all caps...
To brew with already ground beans, put in the desired amount of water. Put into the filter basket the desired amount of ground coffee. Be sure carafe is in place. Make sure your LED screen is activated, showing a blue color by pressing any button. Press “Grind Off” button once, a light will come on that switch. NOW PRESS THE “GRIND/BREW” SWITCH ONCE. A LIGHT WILL COME ON AT THAT SWITCH. AFTER A CONSIDERABLE PAUSE, WATER WILL BEGIN TO FLOW INTO THE FILTER BASKET.
Success finally!
This Krups coffee maker produces terrific tasting coffee with freshly ground beans.
I also tried the Capresso CoffeeTEAM #464. It is nearly identical as the Krups - same functions, pot, filter, etc. although has a more flimsy feel to it. The difference is, the Capresso coffee doesn’t taste as good. Maybe because the water does not flow over all the grounds. Every pot, some are left dry.
So I am back to my Krups KM785D50 and its delicious tasting coffee. It played hard to get, but we fell in love after all that!

Update- won't heat after 2.5 years
This KM785D50 is one of the best I can find for an all in one. The coffee tastes great on the second finest grind setting with 8 cups water and just filling the hopper slightly over the edge of the black feed guide with Trader Joe's Breakfast Blend beans. I use it daily. I've had to descale it twice when the maintenance light comes on using descaling liquid and 9 cups water and flushing fresh water through 3 times. At the same time I grind cleaner pills or beans but make sure not to brew them. Fill up hopper again with a round of fresh beans and dust out and wipe the top. The grinder has a shallow slope to the basket so you always get a bit of yesterday's grind. If you don't use it every day the old grinds taste terrible. It's also loud but all grinders are. Strange it seems to drop some grinds below the machine over a week or two so wipe off the counter below when you clean the kitchen. All in all a good unit.18 month update- still going strong! I use the medium strength setting with 6 cups of water and fill fresh beans up to the black hopper piece. Grinder is set to second finest setting. Works great with Trader Joe's Breakfast Blend beans. I also noticed on the 6 cup setting and medium strength it only uses the beans it needs from the hopper! Cool! If you don't make coffee every few days though the leftover ground coffee in the shoot gets stale and ruins your first bath, so I make larger batches to dilute the bad grind if I don't use it all the time.2.5 year update- this week it won't heat up. It grinds and clicks but never pumps water or heats. Unfortunately its just outside of the 2 year warranty (Feb 2021 to October 2023). I suspect the thermal fuse is bad but inside it has 2 of them in series. Since I have no clue what I'm doing I bought a new coffee grinder/ maker from good will for $7 and this old one is scrap. Be careful repairing them, this is a safety fuse to keep the pot from melting.

The initial cleaning process, as well as any cycle using already ground coffee, requires you to press not one, but TWO buttons. The GRIND OFF button, followed by the GRIND/BREW button. If you don't do this the machine won't run, and could appear not to work, because the instructions don't really go into the second step. To turn off the machine after brewing either method you must press the GRIND/BREW button again.
As far as quality, I was actually very impressed! Having upgraded from a very plasticy Mr. Coffee programmable machine, I thought this Krups (though also plastic) was much heavier duty, and more smartly designed. Time will tell as to how long it lasts, but so far it's gone above my expectations. I will be sure to update this review if there is any change.
Works beautifully if you know how to use it

I have had this coffee maker for one week, and so far so good! I was afraid it might be huge looking on my counter, based on the measurements, so I was pleasantly surprised by the compact size. I think the squarish shape attributes to that. This coffee maker is fairly new, so it isn't listed on the Krups website yet, and there's very little info available about it. Thanks to another reviewer on here, though, I had no trouble running my machine.Reviewed in the United States on November 30, 2017

El envío fue muy rápido, me llegó solo dos días después de haber realizado la compra sin ningún inconveniente.
La cafetera efectivamente llega con muy mínimos rastros de molienda previa, pero es normal, lo dice en su instructivo, esto es para que se ofrezca un producto de calidad, la compañía prueba el molino antes de ser empaquetada verificando su correcto funcionamiento.
A mi parecer la cafetera tiene dos áreas de oportunidad, la primera es que no queda muy claro que la cantidad de agua que se debe verter en el depósito debe ser la misma que se selecciona para el molido de café (tazas), si no se tiene cuidado con ese punto la cafetera colara toda el agua que exista en el depósito lo que tendrá como resultado un café como se dice en mi tierra "de agua de calcetin" muy disuelto, si ponen el agua que corresponde a la cantidad de café a moler el resultado es fenomenal.
El segundo punto es que el molino si resulta algo ruidoso, aunque la verdad lo hace muy rápido, esta es la única razón por lo que no le doy las 5 estrellas pues creo que se puede disminuir más el sonido que produce durante la molienda. por todo lo demás es un excelente artículo que vale mucho la pena por el precio.
