A line of thermal carafe coffee makers with digital controls marketed by Krups. Introduced in 2005, replacing (along with their FME line) the entire auto drip lineup by the company.

Bottom Line: Solid, well-built maker that should last for years.

Bottom Line: Awesome coffee 1st 3 months & when fresh. If you drink the whole pot quickly, not a bad machine; move on if you don't. Disappointed that this machine goes down hill the longer you own it.

Bottom Line: It's a cool looking machine that gets the job done right, when it comes to relatively inexpensive auto-drip coffee makers.

Bottom Line: Brews coffee right, with a high temperature and good water dispersion. Easy to use, but not very durable, so take care when operating. Highly Recommended if you put quality coffee above all else (in the auto-drip catagory of course.)

Bottom Line: Easy to use, looks good, makes good coffee, brews fairly hot, but really stinks - literally!

Bottom Line: There are lots of shortcomings on the FMF4, but it does brew a mean cup of coffee. Does the price, poor design make up for it? I'm still debating that over a mug.
