What we like about Karaca Series 2303

  • A thermal carafe keeps coffee hot without a warming plate.
  • The aroma strength control lets you choose a stronger or milder cup.
  • A timer lets you set the machine to brew ahead.
  • Auto shut-off turns it off after 30 min.
  • A simple digital panel makes the timer easy to set.
  • The filter is permanent, so there are no paper filters to buy.

What we don't like about Karaca Series 2303

  • There is no warming plate, so the carafe has to keep the coffee hot.
  • At 2.82 kg it is heavy to move around the kitchen.
  • It is not dishwasher-safe, so the parts need washing by hand.
  • It makes filter-style coffee, not espresso strength.
  • There is no removable water tank, so you fill it in place.

Verdict

A thermal carafe is what sets the Karaca Series 2303 apart from a hot-plate machine. The stainless steel carafe keeps coffee hot without stewing it, and the 1.2 L tank makes up to 10 cups in one go. The aroma strength control lets you choose a stronger or milder cup, and the timer lets you set it ahead. The display is simple, and auto shut-off turns it off after 30 min. The filter is permanent, and pre-ground coffee works too. The trade-off is weight. At 2.82 kg it is heavy to lift for daily use, so it is better left on the counter. It suits a couple or family who want a pot that stays hot through the morning and do not need espresso-strength coffee.
