I have an older drip coffee pot that I was happy with until it started getting really noisy toward the end of the brew cycle. Plus, I have different pots for different types of coffee – French press, Moka pot, and a dedicated cold brew pot. All of these combined take up a lot of space, and each has to be used with a source of hot water besides the pot, except for the cold brew pot. I was excited to try the Braun MultiServe Plus Drip Coffee maker because I could have my cold brew, or a small cup of espresso, or a medium sized cup, or really almost any size cup or carafe I want. For all that it does, the coffee maker is relatively compact, and setup was a breeze. The water tank has a carbon filter to help improve the taste of the water. I brewed a single cup of coffee, and the controls were very intuitive – pick a cup size, pick Gold or Bold, and wait patiently. Brew time was reasonably quick, and I brewed Gold which was strong enough for my tastes. My old drip pot would waste a lot of the grounds as the water would not soak about 1/4 of the coffee. The Braun drip configuration lets the water hit all of the grounds, so I get a more flavorful brew. I tried a full pot on Bold, but that was too strong. A second pot on Gold was just right. I tried a 5 oz. cold brew and that came out very strong – I had to dilute the cold brew with another 5 oz. of water and some ice cubes, but the coffee was not bitter and was as good as from my dedicated bold brewer, but in 20 minutes instead of 12 hours. Overall, this is a great coffee maker – easy to use, easy to clean, and very versatile.

This item is a great choice for a quality coffee maker. The Braun coffee maker is a good product with great features. It has numerous size options to pick from depending in what brew you like. If you in a need of a quick cup or have friends over and require a few cups it can handle all. It is super easy to add water and coffee and clean the filter as well. My 2 favorite features are the cold brew option and the stop drip option. I am huge about a good quality cold brew and this one delivers. Quick easy and full of flavor. The other item that surprised was the stop drip option to prevent from making a mess.
The only 2 negatives that i rated this a 4 star is 1 it beeps very loud and no option to change the volume setting and 2 if placed below top cabinets its hard to add water or coffee without moving the machine due to height clearance. Otherwise a great machine!

When I received my coffee pot from Amazon, the box the machine arrived in was badly damaged. There were holes throughout the box and the side of the box looked like someone had dropped it on its side and then ran it over. The machine itself seemed to be intact enough to leave a review though. Upon setting it up it seemed high quality. The multiple brew and serving options were appreciated. I brewed my first pot on the gold setting and was quite impressed. It gave my coffee a taste that seemed true to how it should have tasted all this time. I never experienced the true flavor of my favorite coffee brand with my last coffee machine which was evident when brewing with this machine. I also like the temperature options. I can keep my coffee warm in the pot for 15 minutes or up to 4 hours. The 3 year coverage warranty is a nice addition. This machine delivers optimal brewing performance in every cup by calculating the precise water flow, temperature, and speed for every coffee preference and that’s nice because my entire household drinks coffee and all has their own preferences. It brews a pot of hot coffee in under 8 minutes and a cold brew in under 13 so it seems like it has everything to like, but then I realized that it requires special paper filters to brew the coffee and a charcoal filter that has to be changed monthly, which I don’t think I would keep up with. For those reasons. I would personally go with a different machine that requires less maintenance. After less than a week of owning this, the machine is no longer keeping my coffee warm. I do not recommend this coffee machine whatsoever.

The Braun MultiServe Plus 10-Cup Pod Free Drip Coffee Maker is a versatile and high-quality option for home coffee brewing. Its sleek design and durable build make it a strong contender in the market. With features like multiple brew sizes, hot and cold coffee options, and a unique brewing system for great-tasting coffee, this machine excels in performance. The water container is easy to remove and clean. Up to 24 hours timer is absolutely helpful as my partner and I love coffee in the morning but sometimes we do not have time to make the coffee This machine changes the game, I can schedule it and by the time we are ready to work, the coffee had been prepared. User-friendly controls, a freshness indicator, and easy maintenance add to its appeal. While it may be on the pricier side and take up some counter space, its overall value in terms of quality and convenience makes it a worthwhile investment for coffee enthusiasts.

The brew strength selector allows you to choose between regular or bold brew strengths, giving you control over the intensity of your coffee. The removable filter basket and glass carafe are dishwasher safe, and the coffee maker has a self-cleaning cycle to keep it in great condition. Overall, the Braun MultiServe Plus 10-Cup Pod Free Drip Coffee Maker is an excellent choice for anyone looking for a reliable, versatile, and stylish coffee maker.

The Braun MultiServe Plus is a huge coffee maker with multiple functions. I love that you can choose different size cups, bowls, or use the carafe. The ability to brew cold brew or over ice is very awesome and unique. It is a beautiful machine aesthetically. It’s very easy to fill using either the water container that is removable or the carafe and the water lines are clearly marked and accessible, it even comes with a water filter. Your brew time is incredibly fast and the flavor is amazing. We have always loved bold strong coffee. I love the tapered glass of the carafe and how nothing spills during pouring. Setup is very easy but you do have to read the directions. There are some little tips and tricks in there that you would not know otherwise. The digital display is large and clear and even tells you if you left the lid open. You don’t need to push hard on the touch panel to choose your options.
I feel like I should give this coffee maker 3 stars based on all the negative things I found, but it does do what it says it’s supposed to do. So on that note, it deserves four stars. A few of the issues that I do have with this Braun coffee maker is the price for one. Unless this thing is going to do some amazing tricks I think I’m just paying for the brand name and not the functionality of the system, though it does have the cold brew option which might be harder to find on traditional coffee makers. There is no way to clean the carafe by hand. The hole at the neck is too small to get your hand in there. So you have to have special scrub brushes to be able to get down in there. It is a very large system that takes up a bit of counter space but everything on it is easily accessible. For such a large machine I’m very surprised that it only handles 10 cups and not more. There is no way on the version I purchased to adjust the temperature of the burner or the time that the burner stays active. It’s also not one button start in manual mode. You have to push the on-pad and then choose what type of coffee you want. I also noticed when refilling the container that there was a lot of residual water that had not been used during brewing left in the container.

After doing some googling, I saw that Braun has a reputation for top-notch and high quality coffee makers. I decided to give the Braun MultiServe Plus Drip coffee maker a go, and I am very happy I did! It is a good looking appliance, stylish, sturdy and well built.
It has 7 programmed brewing sizes as follows: 5oz, 8oz, 12oz, 16oz, 20oz, half carafe (25oz) or full carafe (50oz). A full carafe holds five 10oz cups of coffee, which is pretty standard. It can brew an entire carafe “in less than 8 minutes,” which I can verify is indeed true. I typically drink a 16oz mug of coffee every morning. Using the Gold option, my coffee comes out PERFECT. It tastes amazing, and the temperature is just right IMO (I have seen some reviews state it is not hot enough). It finished my 16oz mug in 3.5 minutes after hitting start.
I have to note here, I wasn’t specifically looking for a coffee maker that makes cold brew coffee, but now that I have one, I am thrilled! I love it. It makes cold brew in less than 15 minutes. This would take FOREVER doing it other ways, so in the past I have rarely made it myself. I think this might be new favorite thing about this coffee maker, frankly. I have already used this feature several times, and I’ve only had the coffee maker about a week.
Though I usually prefer freshly ground beans, I am happy to report that it is fully programmable. Using the Auto on function, you can set the machine to brew coffee up to 24 hours in advance, which is definitely useful for those days you know you are going to be in a hurry the next morning. You can also change the amount of time it keeps the carefe warm after coffee is made, from 15 minutes all the way up to 4 hours. The warmer turns on automatically if you select a half or a full carafe. You can also turn it off/on manually. I tested out the auto program to see how easy it was, and it worked perfectly, and was very simple.
Finally, it has a 3 year warranty coverage to ensure lasting performance. This definitely gives me confidence that, unlike my last coffee maker brand that broke a month after 1 year warranty ended, this coffee maker is going to last me long time! Companies don’t offer 3 year warranties often, and when they do, it means the item is built to LAST.
TLDR: I am enthusiastically satisfied with this coffee maker. It makes amazing coffee, easy and quick, has plenty of options, and is built to LAST. I have already recommended it to a few friends/family members.

After using this coffee maker, I have been extremely impressed! The first notable feature I love about this product is its sleek, stainless steel design. This gives the coffee maker a very refined and elegant look. The next notable feature to point out about this coffee maker is its water reservoir size. The water reservoir holds a total of fifty ounces, allowing me to have ample amounts of coffee for guests. Another great feature about this coffee pot is all of the different brewing modes that are included. The “Cold Brew” mode is able to make the perfect cold brew beverage in just thirteen minutes. The machine practically does all of the work itself. The strength of the cold brew has also been fairly strong. The next mode on this coffee pot is the “Over Ice” mode. This mode helps to quickly brew a strong cup (or pot) of coffee over a cup of ice. Because of its strength however, the ice does not seem to water the coffee down. The next mode, which is perhaps my favorite, is the “Gold” mode. This is essentially the go-to mode for your perfect pot of coffee. The coffee will have a great balance of flavor (but at the same time, will not be so strong that you can’t taste anything). This mode is pretty solid in perfecting my morning coffee. The final mode, the “Bold” mode, is exactly as it sounds. This mode provides a slower, deeper brew for those that want a richer cup of coffee. I find this mode to be best for extracting the maximum amount of flavor from the coffee. Another convenient and notable feature worth pointing out is the auto on feature. This enables me to specify the specific time I want my coffee to brew. The system also has an auto off feature. An additional benefit to this machine is the ability to select a brew size. You can brew anything from five ounces up to fifty ounces. This is perfect for ensuring I brew just the right amount of coffee, while eliminating any wasted coffee. Finally, I have loved how the machine stops when I remove my coffee pot, preventing messes. Overall, I am extremely impressed with this coffee maker and would highly recommend it to anyone in search of a truly customizable cup of coffee that’s sure to leave you feeling recharged.

I’ve always had the conventional drip pots. At the same time I’ve always wanted the option to make by the cup but never wanted to buy something that forces me to use special pods etc. so I would just always use the 4 cup option on my pot (about 1/4 full) and try to get my ground ratio correct. Well, come along this Coffee Maker… It can make by the cup or pot! AND even better?! It does cold/iced coffee which I love from time to time too!
Traditionally I did the 24/hour in the fridge for cold brew but this is a good trade off. I would say it’s not as good as the proper cold brew but it’s also not bad. Considering how quick I can have it I think it’s a fair trade for my last minute I didn’t plan the day before days.
Overall this has a lot of great things going for it. Looks nice, the plastic parts don’t feel as cheap as other appliances tend to with plastic. I also found myself enjoying how quiet it is. I’m used to hearing my old machine sucking/moving the water. This one, you do initially for a few seconds and then it’s just the sound of dripping liquid. I love the stop drip option too! My old pot would stop when pulling out but you’d always get that 1 drip that was dangling still. This one seems to actually stop!
This brings me to my cons.
When doing by the cup, it splashes all over the place. Counter, coffee pot etc. I’m not sure how best to solve this (maybe if it has a shield or top you could set on the cup like the pot?
Next complaint, the keep warm does not have temperature settings. On my big/normal pot I could pick high, medium or low for the keep warm. Why does this matter? Well, sometimes I want black coffee only but I am not one of the people that can drink boiling liquids so I would set mine to low (which was still very hot!). Times when I know I was going to mix in creamer or something cold, I would bump to medium because those things of course can cool your coffee down some. Basically I had flexibility. I’m sure it wasn’t adaptive heating and just cycled the burner off/on with different gaps. I feel like that feature could have really helped this otherwise premium priced coffee maker stand out.
My last semi complaint is the loud beep. To be fair, my old one did the same and I just disabled it. Well, I did the same here. I disabled the beep. I wish though I could leave on and just tone it down more.
Overall I would say 4.5 stars maybe. I put 4 instead of rounding up simply because it’s not perfect, just very close so I can’t give a perfect score.

I am so excited about my new Braun coffee machine that will make COLD BREW in 13 minute This is going to be game changer for summer in Alabama’s. I love being able to make a single cup of coffee or a pot of coffee. So many options that it eliminates several other appliances that I have. So happy that it answers a lot of my wants.
I have used a regular drip coffee pot, a pod single serve coffee maker and cold brew pitcher.
I was very excited to combine all of the appliances into one! The Braun multiserve does the work of 3 items!
The machine comes with:
Sleek and modern looking coffee maker
Glass carafe that a trendy mid century vibe
Coffee measuring scoop that has dual sides for small and big scoops
Reusable gold tone permanent filter. Eliminates paper filters. However, they can still be used.
Charcoal water filter
Clock and control panel for programmable coffee
Beverage size indicator. 5oz, 8oz, 12oz, 16 oz, 20 oz, half carafe, full carafe.
Flip down cup holder
Four brew settings:
Over Ice
Cold Brew
Gold
Bold
Gold is a mode that has been certified by the Speciality coffee association. It is a standard that has to meet rigorous technical requirements using the black filter basket. I did notice that the coffee pot is taller than our drip coffee maker. I have a super cute coffee station in the corner of our kitchen. I love it! Let’s make coffee!
Fill the reservoir with water. I have a tap that provides reversed osmosis water. However the charcoal filter is wonderful for someone that is using tap water. To have good quality filtered water. I used 11 small scoops of coffee to make 22oz of cold brew coffee in the carafe. Placed scoops of coffee into the gold tone filter. Choose beverage size selector to half carafe. Pressed control panel to choose cold brew. Turned the lever to coffee to begin process. Cold brew coffee finished. I prepared coffee per my preferences, sugar and milk. I then added 30% ice as recommended in the directions voilà! Refreshing, tasty, fast, satisfying cold brew coffee. The. time on the Braun multiserve coffee maker I started at 11:40am and finished completely at 12:02pm. It only took 22 minutes even with me providing you instructions. The instruction says it takes 13 minutes to make the cold brew. I am very excited that it was quick and Not 3 days like a cold brew pitcher.
Yes, I recommend this product
