Our small office was using the now discontinued K55 model, which was incredibly noisy and disruptive. We decided to replace the machine with the K-Elite and we are quite happy with the decision thus far. This machine is MUCH quieter during brewing and not quite as loud after brewing has finished, and is able to handle the sometimes high volume usage.
The increased brew size options and larger capacity water tank are nice, and we do like the hot water feature, although it has to be run once to rinse the filter, otherwise you end up with coffee-tainted hot water.

We're glad you're enjoying your K-Elite! Thank you for your review and feedback.
Have to take lid off/on when you have to fill water tank... Doesn't have 24 hour clock..No different water tank and control panel colors.Not as good as the previous machine.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Thank you for sharing your review with us. We appreciate the feedback.
Not as happy with new design. It’s decent but the light doesn’t blink when water is out and the machine has to be turned on to heat the water. Settings are not clear on how to set on/off timers. But I do like the extra size settings.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Purchased this model to replace an old elite that brewed single and larger pots of coffee. This model s such an improvement. I won’t miss the ability to brew larger batches. This coffeemaker is quieter, much quieter. I love the ability to brew a 12 oz cup. The old brewer only did 10 oz. The ability to select a hotter water temperature is a great perk. The only option I miss is the timer function. The old model allowed a set time for the brewer to come on in the morning and shut off later in the day. This one can start the brewer in the morning but then only 30, 60 and 120 min of on time is allowed. Too short for my usage. So I automatically turn it on in the morning but have to remember to shut it off later in the afternoon. The finish on the brewer is well done. The color matches my black stainless appliances. Overall I would definitely recommend this style of coffee maker.
