KitchenAid (KCM111OB) 12 Cup Glass Carafe Onyx Black Coffee Maker Reviews

Works well and looks good

After 2 months, the metal rivet holding the lid on was sliding out of place and the lid did not close proper. Very messy with water dribbling when opening the lid. Still drips coffee when trying to pour a cup mid brew. Lid on the tank doesnt shut correct either. Walmart sent me a replacemet but I have a feeling the same issues will happen again. Would not purchase this brand ever again. Put your $90 toward a real coffee maker!

We bought this KitchenAid KCM111OB a few years ago because we were please with our KitchenAid Fridge, Dishwasher, Hand Mixer, and Stand Mixer K5SS. We used it primarily in the winter, always kept it clean with hand washing and descaling. Until a few months ago it made great coffee. I filled the coffee pot as usual and put it on our formica counter to check the level. When I lifted the pot the entire bottom of the glass pot burst off right at the bottom of the handle and I had 12 cups of water all over the place. I can't tell you why this happened but looking at the pieces, the glass looks awfully thin. Look at the picture and you can decide.

Bought 2 weeks ago after having a KitchenAid coffee maker for 10+ years. This new unit leaks when making coffee- leaking is not from water tank/filter - but when the brew unit receives water from the tank...this is evident as the residue is water not combined coffee brown. I have Emailed this concern to KitchenAid, hopefully they will address by providing a fix or replacement! This unit isn't cheap...comparably speaking. I purchased because of prior satisfaction and all of my kitchen appliances which are either KitchenAid or Whirlpool Gold, so the expectation of superior quality is a given (side by side refrig, dishwasher, over range microwave & blender).

Pour spout is terrible I wasn’t going to leave a review, but every time I use my coffee maker...I get more and more disappointed with the make of this product. 1- EVERY SINGLE TIME I go to pour a cup of coffee....the pot leaks coffee all over the place because the lid on the carafe is offset. 2nd....when you lift the top to add your fresh coffee, water dribbles all over the machine (I always have to put a paper towel under the lid to catch the water). I want a coffee maker that I can use without having to continuously clean up after it, and having to clean up after each cup of coffee I pour. For what I paid for this coffee maker, it’s very disappointing.I’d return this....but sadly, I can’t find my receipt and extended warranty.

I just bought my second one for our city apartment. While I would love to see a redesign of the original carafe as a merger with the current replacement, that is a small quibble. Favorite feature is the "bold" button to get the most from the coffee. Also like the audio beep for start and finish of the brewing cycle. When I was searching to replace my coffee maker, this was the best for aesthetics, features, and overall size.

I bought one 3 years ago and loved it. I gave my working old one away and got a new one. Keeps coffee hot at the right temperature. Highly recommended

I received the coffee pot as a gift and I had to return it to Kitchenaid twice for issues with the brew basket. The spring was not low enough to fully engage the carafe so the water would not drain. Coffee grounds would spill out over the brew basket and down into the carafe so every cup of coffee was gritty with grounds. Very disappointed in the product, however Kitchenaid customer service is amazing! They walked me through the process to verify that it wasn't user-error and when it wasn't they promptly sent me a replacement- when the replacement did not work either they sent me a different model all together. I'm waiting on that one to arrive and have higher hopes! :)

I bought this a month ago. It makes a great cup of coffee. I like a good strong cup and the bold feature allows you to do that and use less coffee. I also like filling from the container at the back of the maker instead of from the coffee pot. The charcoal filter allows for a clean coffee flavor. I am Very satisfied.

After the previous coffee maker didn't work for me after a month of use my girlfriend and I went looking for a decent one. The options on my KitchenAid Coffee Maker were much more superior to the other models displayed around it. The pricing was good, and after I brought it home I thought it was a steal. What a wonderful addition to my little kitchen. Thank you KithcenAid for a great product.
