What we like about Braun BrewSense KF 6050

  • The water filter is built in, so each pot is brewed with filtered water.
  • A brew pause lets you pour a cup in the middle of a cycle.
  • Cord storage keeps the base tidy.
  • A cleaning reminder tells you when a clean is due.
  • At 20.1 cm wide and deep, it fits a small counter.
  • The controls are easy to reach.

What we don't like about Braun BrewSense KF 6050

  • At 36.1 cm tall, it needs room under wall cabinets.
  • The carafe is not insulated, so coffee has to stay on the warming plate.
  • The tank cannot be removed, so you fill it in place.
  • At 2.78 kg it is not light to move around.
  • The carafe can spill a little if it is handled carelessly.

Verdict

If you want a compact coffee maker with a water filter, the Braun BrewSense KF 6050 is worth a look. It makes up to 12 cups, yet it is only 20.1 cm wide and deep, so it fits a small counter. The water filter is built in, so each pot is brewed with filtered water, and a brew pause lets you pour a cup in the middle of a cycle. Cord storage keeps the base tidy, and a cleaning reminder tells you when the machine is due a clean. The trade-off is height. At 36.1 cm it is tall, and at 2.78 kg it is not light to move around. It suits someone who drinks filtered coffee, has a small kitchen, and does not mind a tall machine on the counter.
